A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 632

Chapter 632 Trouble

A cold look swirled in Nathaniel’s eyes as he queried, “Do you need my help?”

He had little interest in the intricacies of it all, but he harbored no leniency for those who dared to harm his people.

Out of consideration for Christina, he refrained from taking any action against the Gibson family. He honored her decision and wish to handle matters with the Gibsons personally, but with the stipulation that her safety remained completely protected.

Christina firmly declined without hesitation, stating, “Anya still serves a purpose for us, being Warren Yackley’s mistress, who has a close relationship with Winston. He, too, was entangled in the events of the past.”

Nathaniel quickly discerned her intentions and remarked, “You intend to manipulate Warren through Anya, don’t you? Share your plan with me.”

At that moment, she recounted the incident, describing how she strategically timed the revelation of Anya and Warren’s affair to coincide with their stay in a hotel room, allowing Warren’s wife to see through his deceit.

Warren owed his current status to his marriage to a wealthy family. While he indulged in a lavish and promiscuous lifestyle outside, he was a submissive and non-assertive man at home.

Warren’s wife was a proper and dignified socialite, proud and arrogant due to her privileged upbringing. After marrying Warren, she became increasingly dominant in nature, and her demands of him became more and more unreasonable.

Even so, Warren never expressed any discontent. He gained a reputation as a henpecked husband, going to great lengths to fulfill his wife’s almost perverse desires.

Indeed, Warren’s wife was completely fooled by his deception, enabling him to assume control over the family’s business and assets. Those who depended on Warren for their own interests kept his extramarital affairs a secret, as it served their own agendas and ambitions. novelxo.com fast update

It wasn’t until Christina exposed the intimate video of Anya and Warren to Warren’s wife that she realized the extent of her husband’s deception.

Anya’s provocation of Warren’s wife was akin to challenging a tigress. If she weren’t taught a harsh lesson this time, it would be a blow to the latter’s dignity and reputation.

“Warren has been accustomed to a life of wealth and luxury for most of his life. However, his wife will definitely not tolerate this humiliation. Divorce would be the worst outcome for them, something he would never agree to. In the end, the one getting the short end of the stick is Anya,” said Christina.

Here, she paused before continuing, “Her affair with Warren has already become public knowledge, and he once promised to marry her. I know Anya’s personality well. If her demands are not met, she will not give up easily. I’m just waiting for her and Warren to have a falling out. When that happens, his secret will become leverage in Anya’s hands. After some time, I’ll employ some tactics to get her to come and strike up a negotiation with me.””

Christina had already meticulously planned the entire scheme. She was simply waiting for the right

moment-a moment when Anya and Warren would have a falling out.

“After you had Sebastian relay the message to me, I sent someone to investigate the relationship between Warren and Winston,” Nathaniel said. “Winston once saved Warren’s life, and Warren, being somewhat superstitious, believed that Winston was his lucky star and recognized him as his godson. Once David Labarge established a new company, Warren privately introduced projects from his in-laws company to David. Hence, Warren is the third investor of the Labarge cousins’ company.”

Her curiosity piqued, Christina questioned, “What’s the name of Winston’s new company?”

She had never personally interacted with Winston, and her perception of him was based on Nathaniel’s descriptions. Even Nathaniel regards Winston as a shrewd and cunning individual, so surely he’s not going to be easy to deal with. Nevertheless, it’s better for me to gather more information about the man so that I wouldn’t be caught off guard if I were to encounter him in the future.

“Apex Technologies,” replied Nathaniel. “Winston was worried that Nigel may pose obstacles for him in the construction materials industry, so on the surface, he made it seem like he abandoned his old business and ventured into online business. However, in reality, he had Warren negotiate the construction materials supply business. Warren had his father-in-law backing him, so there was no shortage of orders. If Nigel collaborated with Winston, he would be at the mercy of the latter.”

A sudden realization dawned upon Christina as a gleam flashed across her eyes. “If Nigel finds out that Winston had been manipulating him all along, what do you think he’d do for revenge?”

“Last time, when the rumors you spread reached Nigel’s ears, he rushed over to Jadeborough and gave Winston a good beating. He threatened Winston to return all of the embezzled money, or else he wouldn’t mind dragging Winston down with him.”

Christina’s interest was piqued. “Do you think Winston will comply?” she asked.

As the warm sunlight enveloped her body, she began to drift off to sleep.

“Mrs. Hadley, are you asleep?” Raymond appeared quietly behind Christina, asking in a tentative tone.

“What is it, Mr. Patel?” She opened her eyes, sat up, then turned around to look at the man behind her.

“Your friend, Ms. Maguire, is here. She has an urgent matter to discuss with you in person.”

Recently, Nathaniel had implemented several strict rules at Scenic Garden Manor, requiring all visitors to obtain his approval before gaining entrance. The purpose of these rules was to ensure that Christina could rest assured and focus on her pregnancy without worry.

Raymond had received Nathaniel’s permission before conveying the message to Christina, and the process took some time.

“Let her in.” Right after the words left Christina’s mouth, Rayne invited herself in, unable to wait any longer.

Raymond did not say anything and served the two women some tidbits before leaving them alone.

Having not seen each other for more than half a month, Christina and Rayne were surprised to feel a sense of familiarity that had been absent for a long time.

“Rayne, you look like you’ve gotten skinnier, and your complexion doesn’t look good either. Have you fallen ill?” Christina asked, her tone laced with concern.

Rayne quickly approached her and went straight to the point. “The studio is in major trouble again, and this time it’s not due to any mistakes made by our employees, but rather trouble that has sought us out.”
