Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 426 Ulterior Motive

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

Azure flashed a faint smile. “Okay. The driver is waiting at the entrance.”

“Thank you.” That place was relatively remote, so cars would rarely show up there. Christina got to her feet, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Following her departure, the assistant off to the side took out a transparent bag and placed the cup. Christina had drunk from inside it. “Once we conduct a DNA test, we’ll be able to confirm Ms. Steele’s identity.”

Azure rested her gaze on the cup. It’s necessary to clarify the matter of her identity before I acknowledge her to avoid encountering someone harboring ulterior motives.

Francis feared she would end the call, so he hurriedly said, “There’s a very important red carpet event tomorrow, so you must come in person.”

“What time?”

“Come over at five in the afternoon for preparations.”

Christina muttered an acknowledgment before hanging up the phone.
