A Crazy Night

Chapter 665 The Most Suspicious Person

Nathaniel approached Christina with a grim expression on his face. “The surveillance footage was tampered with. The footage we saw was the final prodiet after being trimmed and edited

Christina frowned. “Is it possible to get the original footage

“I sent someone to the Stone residence to retrieve the original footage immediately, but it was still too late. All the records in the Stone family’s surveillance room were destroyed, Nathaniel replied

Despite the serious damage done to the devices in the surveillance room, there was no reaction from Sheridan at all. It almost seemed like he was already aware of it

Hence, Nathaniel couldn’t help but think that Sheridan was involved in the swapping of the painting

Only a member of the Stone family could cause such destruction openly and erase all traces discreetly

With that thought, the suspicion surrounding Sheridan instantly increased.

Christina was worried because their enemy was operating in the dark and they didn’t know what else they were up to. The current situation was unfavorable to them.

The perpetrator behind the scenes surely had motives beyond embarrassing her at the Stone family’s banquet

As Christina racked her brain trying to guess the person’s ultimate goal, a sudden thought crossed her mind. Her expression changed slightly.

Could it be that the perpetrator is intentionally provoking conflicts among the Hadleys, the Stones, and the Gibsons?

Suddenly, she felt a cool hand on her forehead. Startled, she almost leaped off the couch.

Placing his hands on her shoulders, Nathaniel asked worriedly. “Are you feeling unwell? You look pale

Forcing a smile, Christina replied, “I’m fine. I was just too engrossed in my thoughts. I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“What were you thinking just now?” Nathaniel’s expression softened. “Don’t keep it to yourself. Tell me We can solve this together.”

“At first, I suspected Anya and Emilia because we had an unpleasant incident at the banquet. But when you mentioned the destruction of the surveillance equipment at the Stone residence, I ruled out their suspicion,” Christina concluded. “Nathaniel, who do you find most suspicious?”

“I think it’s Sheridan, Nathaniel replied frankly

Christina’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Why?”

Nathaniel embraced her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder as he replied, “Lyle must have told you about my business trip to Erihal. My rivalry with Sheridan is much more complicated than us vying for your love. In truth, it’s about the intense competition for the family business. Since the Hadleys and Stones have business collaborations, if the Hadleys were to initiate a conflict, it would cause the relationship between the two families to deteriorate. Sheridan will then be able to seize the Hadley family’s business effortlessly”

Christina had come to understand the cutthroat nature of the business world over the past month.

However, she found it hard to imagine Sheridan as a scheming person when he looked so polite and courteous.

Christina recalled every detail of her interactions with Sheridan and pondered carefully. Now that she thought about it, Nathaniel’s suspicion wasn’t entirely without evidence.

If Sheridan had approached me with other intentions right from the beginning…

A cold sweat broke out on Christina’s forehead. She gulped, saying, “Nathaniel, I should have realized it sooner when you strongly discouraged me from getting close to Sheridan at first.“

She looked at Nathaniel apologetically. “I’m sorry. It seems like I’ve caused you trouble again.”

“Although I don’t like you being friends with Sheridan, it’s not your fault for not knowing the stakes involved. You haven’t caused me any harm.” Nathaniel sighed before continuing, “Christina, you don’t have to be afraid of me or tiptoe around me. You know that I can be ruthless and heartless to anyone except you.”

Christina smiled and pinched his cheek. “I know I married an exceptional husband, but you shouldn’t spoil me too much. I have this bad habit that once I’ve been indulged, I won’t know how to restrain myself. You may be the one suffering in the end.”

“Well, go ahead then. I don’t consider it a trouble.” Nathaniel kissed the corner of her lips affectionately. “It’s getting late. We can deal with the rest tomorrow. Go take a shower and rest early

Christina rubbed her belly and cooed, “The baby is hungry and wants to eat spicy pasta.”

“Ill cook some pasta for you in the kitchen, but you can’t have spicy food.” Nathaniel replied with an affectionate smile. “Go take a shower first.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Christina pouted in disappointment. “Fine.”

She got up and walked into the bathroom while Nathaniel went downstairs to cook supper for her.

When Christina finished showering, Nathaniel had already cooked the pasta.

The moment she looked at the sauce of the pasta, her appetite plummeted. She stared at Nathaniel and said, “I want to eat fried eggs, Nathaniel.”

“Wait for a moment. I’ll make it for you,” Nathaniel replied patiently before turning to walk into the kitchen.

Christina quickly tiptoed toward the refrigerator. She remembered that the housekeeper had placed several bottles of chili sauce in the refrigerator’s cold storage compartment.

However, after searching through the entire refrigerator, she couldn’t find a trace of the chili sauce.

“Are you looking for this?” Nathaniel’s teasing voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Feeling guilty, she slammed the refrigerator door shut. As she nervously turned around, she saw him waving the bottle of chili sauce in his hand with an amused expression on his face.

“I just felt like having some juice suddenly, but it seems we don’t have any in stock,” Christina said sheepishly as she walked back to her seat.

“I heard that you’ve been craving spicy food recently and eating recklessly behind the nutritionist’s back.”

Nathaniel placed the chili sauce on the table with the label facing Christina. “These are confiscated for now. After you give birth, I’ll let the nutritionist rearrange your diet. Don’t make me worry, Christina. Be a good girl, okay?”

The way he dragged his last word carried a hint of threatening yet thrilling danger.

“Okay” Christina nodded obediently. Then, Nathaniel reached out and caressed her head, soothing her.

After Christina had her supper, she leaned against the headboard and waited for the food to be digested.

Buze!

Nathaniel’s phone, which was placed on the bedside cabinet, vibrated slightly. As the screen lit up automatically, a message abruptly caught Christina’s eye.

She glanced toward the bathroom. Nathaniel did not have the habit of setting a password on his phone, so she picked it up and opened his text message app. She then saw Sebastian’s message.

Mr. Hadley, the matter has been resolved. She indeed has murderous intentions toward Mrs. Hadley, Attached below the message was a photo of Anya tied to a chair, covered in wounds.

The photo looked like a scene from a horror movie.

Startled, Christina accidentally let the phone slip from her fingers, but a hand reached out and caught it

Nathaniel glanced at the content on his phone calmly.

“Anya harmed you. There’s no way I can let her off easily.”
