Let Me Stay The Night

Seeing both Nathaniel and Christina around gave Camila an instant boost of confidence. Hugging Nathaniel’s neck, the girl said in a loud and clear voice, “Daddy, that evil woman added something to Granddad’s drink before giving it to him.”

Even though Camila did not understand the complicated adult world that was filled with deception and manipulation, she could clearly tell good from bad and had exposed Azure’s ulterior motives in the most candid manner.

“She had also asked Granddad to sign a letter of understanding to save Granduncle Nigel,” Lucas chimed in.

Upon hearing that, Christina and Nathaniel fully understood what was going on.

Barnaby, who happened to be looking for Azure, heard what the kids said and cast a sharp gaze at Azure and Timothy.

Supporting himself with his walking stick, the man asked, “What letter of understanding were they talking about?”

Azure tried to cover up the truth but her intentions were noticed by Christina. Christina dashed into the lounge at once, grabbing the documents from the table before Azure could do so.

Without looking at the contents of the documents, Christina looked toward Lyle, who was standing at the door, and said without a change in expression, “Lyle, please take Mr. Lucas and Ms. Camila out of the room.”

As Christina knew that the outcome would be messy, she did not want to taint the children’s innocent world by allowing them to learn about the unscrupulous means used by adults to achieve their goals.

“Understood,” Lyle answered before leading Lucas and Camila away from the lounge.

After scrutinizing the documents, which were all about absolving Nigel of his crimes, Christina hurled the stack of documents on the ground furiously.

Everyone, especially Azure, was stunned. Out of guilt, Azure inched a few steps to the side. She could not help but worry that Christina would lose control and hit her.
