Let Me Stay The Night

Not fully grasping the gravity of the situation. Victoria remained unfazed. “Why should you be afraid? I can talk to Mr. Hadley and explain everything. He’s being overly protective of you, though. He doesn’t let you do anything or go anywhere. But if you sneak out to see Miranda, will he punish me instead?“

No matter how bold she was, she would be a coward in front of Nathaniel.

She would never go against Nathaniel’s orders.

Victoria was Christina’s junior, so naturally Nathaniel wouldn’t spare her. At most, he might subject her to a few minor punishments, making her endure some discomfort for a while.

Naturally, Christina couldn’t be honest with her. “You’re my junior, so he’ll consider you as his junior, too. He won’t harm you. Besides, I’ll protect you, so don’t worry.”

She pulled Victoria closer and asked, “Hurry, tell me where Miranda is.”

Victoria still remained doubtful. She glanced at Christina and asked carefully. “If Miranda took your mom’s money, just tell Sebastian to get it back for you. Why would you need to see her in person?”

Christina rose to her feet to put on her coat and scarf. “I need to settle old and new scores with her so she won’t cause trouble for me again. Let’s not waste time. You should drive me there, but before that, let’s Send Sebastian away.”

Sebastian was engrossed in a phone conversation as he stood in the corridor, completely unaware of the plan concocted by Victoria and Christina. If he had known, he would have never left to get the items Victoria requested.

Unfortunately, by the time he received the news, it was already too late to prevent the unfolding events.

Victoria drove Christina through the bustling downtown, but her cautious speed made the journey feel agonizingly slow,

If Christina hadn’t been pregnant and unable to drive, she would have eagerly gotten behind the wheel to speed up.

“Victoria, did you bribe your way to get a driving license? A kid could ride a bicycle faster than you,” she complained.

“The doctor said your pregnancy is unstable, so I dare not floor the accelerator. You’re just a passenger, so shut up. I’m a bit nervous now,” Victoria replied.
