Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 422 Who Is She 

Christina treated Yerek’s words as if they were a joke. “How could you, an outsider, claim to know my identity better than I do?”

Yerek responded with an amused look and countered, “What if it’s something that has been kept from you?”

Christina’s e eyes narrowed, and it felt as if time stood still, even though only a few seconds had passed.

She had never questioned her identity before this moment.

In her mind, she simply had a despicable father figure and had no desire to delve into her past ever again. It was enough for her to live peacefully with her mother for the rest of her days.

“You can’t possibly know more about me than I do, especially if it’s something I’m completely unaware of. so drop it,” Christina firmly stated, refusing to entertain Yerek’s claims. She turned around, intending to leave.

“Your last name isn’t Steele, and you’re not the daughter of Gideon and Sharon. You are the eldest. daughter of the Gibson family from Hallsbay.” Yerek revealed through gritted teeth.

Though reluctant, Yerek saw this as the best way to break her and Nathaniel apart.

Christina halted in her tracks and narrowed her eyes as she processed Yerek’s words.

“Take a look at these documents. If you find them incomplete, perhaps Nathaniel’s study holds the information you’re seeking,” he suggested.

With a mix of speculation and doubt swirling in her mind. Christina accepted the folder.

She left the hotel and drove back to Scenic Garden Manor.

Upon entering her room, Christina wasted no time opening the folder, causing its contents to spill onto

the surface before her.

However, instead of directly addressing her background and identity, she discovered a newspaper cutting. The article recounted an incident that had taken place over twenty years ago. It described the collapse of a real estate site owned by Hadley Corporation, resulting in a trapped car and the death of one passenger, as well as severe injuries to another.
