Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 262 Suspicious Transaction

Christina felt Holly had no reason to lie. She wondered if the incident was really unrelated to the latter.

“Ms. Steele, don’t worry about getting taken revenge on. Normally, such an attempt to injure others is considered a criminal case, and the suspect won’t be allowed to leave once the case is filed.” The police officer thought Christina was afraid of suffering vengeance, prompting her to soften her stance.

Otherwise, why would a victim doubt if the perpetrator was actually guilty?

Christina immediately waved her hands, indicating he had misunderstood her. “I’m not concerned about that.”

The police officer nodded before pointing at the last blank space on the paper. “You can leave after you sign here.”

After signing the paper, she thanked the police officer before turning around and leaving.

When the two exited the police station, Sebastian was already waiting for them at the entrance with the car. They got into the vehicle, and Sebastian drove off.

Christina sat in the backseat and appeared lost in thought as she recalled the events of the past month. Complicated emotions churned within her.

She couldn’t shake off the feeling that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. Holly firmly denies she hired someone to hurt me, and if she’s really the mastermind, she would have no way to defend herself in the face of evidence. The only explanation is that she might not be the mastermind but just the slanderer in the cyberbullying and defamation incidents. In that case, does that mean someone else hired that man to harm me?

In the end, she figured she didn’t need to trouble herself with the speculation because she believed the police would uncover the truth and provide her with an explanation.

Christina’s mind buzzed, and the tingling pain of his wound intensified. She inhaled sharply in frustration.

Suddenly, someone placed a warm palm on her head and gently patted her. “What’s the matter? Does your wound hurt?”

Christina hummed coyly in agreement, rubbing Nathaniel’s hand beside her right cheek. She was fond of the scent of his palm.

Leaning her body against him, she nestled into his arms. “Where are we going?”
