Let Me Stay The Night

Later that night, Christina had Lyle gather information on all the beauty salons that Brenda owned.

Meanwhile, Brenda had settled the dispute with the family members of the deceased victims and could finally focus on dealing with Christina.

She had kept such a tight lid on the matter that Soren and Preston, who were overseas at the time, had no idea about this incident.

Christina visited Sebastian at the hospital the next morning before heading over to the Lesley residence with Lyle. She refused to let Nathaniel tag along with her.

Brenda let out a mocking chuckle when she heard that Christina had shown up at her doorstep. She then told the housekeeper to keep a close eye on Victoria before having the butler show Christina in.

This time, Christina had Lyle remain by her side instead of having him wait inside the car.

Brenda’s expression slid into a frown when she saw the man standing behind Christina. “Tonly allowed you to enter my mansion, Mrs. Hadley. What is the meaning of this? Are you here to start a fight with me?”

Christina sat down in front of Brenda and replied with a faint smile, “You have very dangerous people working for you, Mrs. Lesley. I need to do something to ensure my safety. Don’t worry; he won’t act without my orders, so you have no reason to be afraid of him. You may call the police or have your men come over if you feel unsafe. I don’t mind it at all.”

Brenda let out a sarcastic chuckle in response. This is my territory, so I have no reason to fear Christina!

“Why don’t you stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point?”

“Perfect. I love it when people are direct and straightforward,” came Christina’s response.

Lyle then whipped out a bunch of files and placed them neatly in front of Brenda.
