Let Me Stay The Night

Christina sneered and sent: Five million? I’m shocked that you actually dared to name an amount.

Is Nathaniel not even worth five million to you? the other woman retaliated, continuing to provoke Christina.

Christina slowly typed: What I’m trying to say is that you’re asking for too little. Just like you said earlier, considering Nathaniel’s wealth and status, if you were to expose this photo, the rewards you’d receive wouldn’t be limited to a measly five million. In fact, you’d also gain the fame and attention you crave the most.

Christina had easily read Melanie’s mind. Perhaps her straightforward approach angered Melanie, as the latter’s response was clearly angry.

Melanie: Mrs. Hadley, this is the choice you’ve picked. Since you won’t pay this amount, I’ll grant you your wish! You’ll only have yourself to blame for this!

Right as Christina was about to reply to Melanie’s message, Victoria suddenly called her.

“Christina, where are you? I need your help!” Victoria’s voice was quivering and laced with despair. “Sebastian hasn’t responded to my message since last night. When I went to his place this morning, the security guard said that he never came home. What’s worse is that… I tracked him down, and it turns out he’s at a hotel with some other woman!”

-The vein on Christina’s temple throbbed. “What do you want me to help you with?”

Victoria snarled, “I want you to catch him red-handed with me!”

Like Nathaniel, Sebastian had not come home the night before. Both had supposedly brought someone to a hotel and stayed there overnight.

As Christina tracked down Melanie’s current location, she asked Victoria, “Which hotel is Sebastian at?”

Victoria told her the name of the hotel before gritting out, “If he dares to do anything to betray me, I’m going to show him hell!”

Sure enough, Sebastian and Nathaniel were in the same hotel.

“Okay, I’ll come with you, but come and pick me up.”

“Thank you, Christina.”

Christina then went to the walk-in closet.
