Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 267 Please Spare My Family

Holly was overwhelmed with regret. Had I known from the start that Christina had a powerful husband backing her up. I wouldn’t have dared to cause any trouble for her. It wouldn’t matter if I’m the only one suffering from my actions, but how will I ever make it up to my family for ruining the reputation we’ve painstakingly built over the years? I admit that I deeply despise this woman to the point that I want her dead. However, the moment I realized she was someone I couldn’t afford to cross, I rued everything I did.

“Christina. I’m begging you! I was behind those malicious online attacks against you and rounded up people to stage a protest, but I didn’t get someone to harm you!” She wiped her tears while apologizing pitifully.

Her frail figure seemed as though it could be blown away by the wind at any time. She looked utterly pathetic.

Christina’s gaze darkened slightly. It never occurred to me that Nathaniel would do something like that behind my back…

Her mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions. Although she had not expected the situation to blow up like that, the recollection of getting hit in the head still made her head throb painfully.

“It’s no surprise that you’d deny your wrongdoings now that trouble has knocked on your door. Do you think a few words is enough to absolve you from what you did to me?” Christina said with a chilly glint in her eyes. I’m not a saint. I’ve no obligation to forgive those who’ve hurt me.

She made to leave, but Holly grabbed her by her leg. “Please spare my family! What do I need to say to make you believe me?”

I have to get her to forgive me! Otherwise, we won’t be able to withstand Hadley Corporation’s spiteful attack on our company’s stock prices, and everything will come crumbling down. If that happens, everyone in the family will get dragged into this mess.

Holly’s pale face contorted as she continued, “I truly have no idea who is trying to shift the blame to me. However, I swear I didn’t hire anyone to harm you. If I’m lying, I deserve to get struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”

If possible, she was even willing to die to prove her innocence!

A hint of doubt rose in Christina’s heart as she watched Holly sob bitterly. If she did do it, she wouldn’t have this anger that only a victim would have. Could there be a deeper mystery to this incident?

At that moment, her conversation with Madison that morning flashed across her mind, and she fell silent. Then, she heard a ringing inside her bag and guessed that Nathaniel was calling to urge her to hurry up.
