Let Me Stay The Night

Oh, no… The hefty price of coveting Nathaniel’s woman.

Hendrick’s target was indeed Christina, but if he tangled with Nathaniel, his dream would turn into a nightmare.

If Nathaniel were to discover his intention toward Christina, being flayed alive would be the least severe punishment Hendrick could expect. That Grim Reaper will undoubtedly do away with me.

“Ah… I haven’t done drafting my project proposal, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to discuss the collaboration with Mr. Hadley so rashly. After all, Mr. Hadley’s time is precious, and I can’t afford to waste it.” Wearing a resentful expression, Hendrick was forced to cast aside his lewd thoughts. “Since you’re busy with work, Mrs. Hadley, I won’t disturb you further. Let’s meet another day.”

Victoria sneered, prompting Hendrick to flee in a panic.

Watching his pathetic retreating figure from behind, Christina couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why did you scare him? Just let him be. He has the intention but certainly lacks the courage to act on it.”

Victoria snorted. “If he had lingered a few more minutes, I would’ve beaten him up. Has he got the nerves of steel or something? I can’t believe he dares to try to covet you without considering who your husband is.”

Her impression of Hendrick couldn’t be worse. Every time she thought of his lecherous smile, Victoria felt nauseous.

“I’m counting on the fact that he won’t do me any harm, which was why I didn’t confront him outright earlier. Hendrick is a David and Winston’s relative, so keeping him around may still be useful.”

“But you didn’t have to sacrifice your dignity to accomplish that goal- Mmm!”

Christina abruptly covered Victoria’s mouth with her hand. The latter glared at Christina, threatening Christina to let go with her stern gaze.

Christina dragged her aside. “Victoria, this mall belongs to the Hadley family, and there may be people around who are associated with Mr. Hadley. Are you trying to tell everyone that Mr. Hadley is about to be cuckolded by me by making a huge fuss about this? Please spare me. If Mr. Hadley gets mad, even I can’t handle his wrath.”
