Let Me Stay The Night

Upon seeing the sincere look in Francis’ bright eyes, Christina suppressed her doubts. I’ll trust him one more time!

Around twenty minutes later, the minivan came to a halt in a quiet alley.

This is a secluded place. If something were to happen to us, no one would hear or see us. Nathaniel, who was always vigilant, tugged on Christina’s shirt right when she was about to exit the car. After that, he threw Francis a wary look with his darkened eyes.

“There’s a private detective agency here. I got all my information from this agency,” Francis explained.

Seeing that Nathaniel was still doubtful, Francis got out of the car and led the way.

The private detective agency was located on the second floor, deep inside the alley. It was a room with a space of less than eighty square meters.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the people inside turned around warily at once.

Seeing that it was Francis, Joel Gallagher, the private detective, smiled brightly and greeted, “What brings you here?”

As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw Nathaniel and Christina walking in.

Evidently, the atmosphere in the room became tense the moment Nathaniel and Christina entered the room.

The smile on Joel’s face froze when he saw them. In fact, he subconsciously wanted to hide himself.

Nathaniel and Christina noticed it right away. It seems that this is the private detective who has been secretly taking photos of us.

“Let’s talk business.” As the instigator, Francis had an awkward look on his face. However, that wasn’t the time to be bothered by that. “Bring out all the information I gave you over the phone. Let Mr. Hadley and Ms. Steele take a look at them.”

“Sure.” Joel didn’t know why Francis had suddenly buried the hatchet with Nathaniel, but he knew he didn’t have the right to raise any questions. I’m getting paid, so I should do as I was told.

Moments later, the long desk in the room was filled with numerous stacks of documents.

Christina, who was sitting on the couch, was stunned. “That’s a lot of information.”

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes. I started my investigation ever since I found out Christina wasn’t the Steele family’s biological daughter. Yet, I couldn’t even gather as much information. As a matter of fact, due to various reasons. I had to give up on some of the investigations I initiated.
