Let Me Stay The Night

Sebastian changed the topic. “I’ve asked someone to run tests on the small gifts, but there were no traces of heavy metals on their surfaces,” he informed.

At those words, Nathaniel’s eyebrows furrowed as he stared at Sebastian’s face with intensity. “Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with the test results?”

“Every object had been thoroughly tested three times. The results came back exactly the same each time. No traces of heavy metals could be found,” Sebastian explained.

Frustrated, Nathaniel pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. As the mild smell of tobacco stimulated his senses, he remembered that they were still at the hospital and quickly put cigarette out.

“Investigate Anya’s shopping list. See if there are any records of the purchase of a small box,” Nathaniel ordered in an icy tone. “Hire someone to keep a close eye on Anya and keep track of the movements of the Gibson family. When it comes to it, we’ll get rid of them once and for all.”

Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the command. Before he could stop himself, he commented, “But Mr. Hadley, they’re Ms. Christina’s family.”

Nathaniel scoffed with a mocking look on his face. “Just because Christina thinks of them as family doesn’t mean the Gibson family thinks the same. I’ve given them chances time and time again, yet they still refuse to give my family a break. If I don’t give them a warning, the next thing I know, I could be dealing with a gun pointed at my head.”

Since the Gibson family wanted to mess with the Hadley family, Nathaniel was not afraid to play along with their games.

Whether or not the Hadley family owed the Gibson family a life had still not been.

Before the accusation could be proven by the truth, the Hadley family would still. be considered innocent..

Sebastian was not in a position to question Nathaniel’s authority. “Noted, sir. I’ll get it done.”

Nathaniel continued asking, “Any progress with Madison?”

A torn look appeared on Sebastian’s face. “We’ve exhausted every method that could be used. on her. Madison has completely lost her mind. We can obtain no information from her. The Taggart family has been going about secretly. According to word on the streets, they have been secretly gathering information that could be used as leverage against you. They plan to report you to the supervisors so that Madison would not be subjected to threat for the rest of her life.”

Nathaniel’s cold eyes remained unchanged even after he heard the news. “Since the Taggart family doesn’t want to live peacefully but searched for death, I shall fulfill their requests.” He turned to look at Sebastian. “Gather all the dark secrets of the Taggart family and post everything online. Don’t bother about holding back. As for Madison, continue to lock her up. and change up the tactics used on her every day. She has to face the consequences of her actions.”
