Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 640 Pay The Price

Nathaniel’s gaze was usually icy. Only when he looked at Christina did it become gentle. “Don’t get angry. Just leave

it to Sebastian.”

Upon hearing Nathaniel’s words, Sebastian walked past Christina and said thoughtfully. “Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, please

stand further away in case the situation gets out of hand.”

Christina nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Taggart.”

Sebastian returned her a faint smile. “You’re too courteous, Mrs. Hadley. This is what I’m best at.”

Nathaniel said, “It’s cold outside. Let’s wait in the car.”

Christina didn’t reply. She turned on her heels and returned to the car with Nathaniel.

The smile on Sebastian’s face faded as he led a group of men to the entrance of the mansion. “May I ask for you

and your men to step back and leave the rest to me?” he asked Jasper.

Jasper retreated with his subordinates.

“Tear down this mansion!” At Sebastian’s order, the bodyguards standing behind him immediately raised their

baseball bats and began smashing the windows.

Loud crashes echoed across the dark sky above the mansion. The neighbors were jolted awake by the noise and

hurried out to investigate the source, When they caught the spectacle in front of Nigel’s house, they tactfully

returned to their house and peeked through the windows.

Nigel was new to the neighborhood. His neighbors didn’t talk to him much after learning about his background and

his aloof and unfriendly nature.

They had no intention of calling the police upon witnessing something happening over at Nigel’s place. They merely

looked on.

The bodyguards were efficient. The initially opulent mansion had turned into a scene from an apocalypse movie in a

few short minutes.

Sebastian led his men into the house. Before long, Nigel was dragged out by two bodyguards and tossed in

front of Christina’s car.

“Who are you people? Let my son go!” Azure shouted, causing a scene as she followed them. “What you’re doing is

a criminal offense! I’m going to sue every one of you and make sure you end up in—it’s you?”

When she spotted Christina getting out of the car, her voice abruptly became shrill.

With a men’s coat draped over her shoulders, Christina strode toward Nigel. “Where’s my father?” she asked

straightforwardly, her eyes filled with contempt.

Nigel, who was being held to the ground, raised his head with difficulty. When he met her gaze, a sneer formed on

his lips, and he spat at her.

A split second later, a dark figure swung his leg, smashing Nigel’s chin.

“Argh!” Nigel let out an agonized yelp. Under the dim glow, one could see his chin was deformed. His mouth was

wide open, and blood was continuously flowing from it

His features twisted in pain. Every vein in his body bulged at the pain. He curled into a ball and writhed on the

ground.

“Nigel!” Azure screamed. The bloody scene nearly caused her to pass out. However, the bodyguards had a tight

hold on her, so she merely slumped to the ground and glared at Christina. “Nathaniel, I’ll kill you with everything I

have if something happens to my son!”

Nathaniel wasn’t the least bit intimidated by her threat. With a cold smile, he said, “Mrs. Lazuli, I just taught him a

lesson since he didn’t know the rules. I have shown him mercy since this is only a light punishment. Be prepared for

his funeral proceedings if there’s a next time.”

Nathaniel’s voice was cold and sharp like a blade. Every word out of his mouth sliced her heart.

She knew both she and Nigel were no match for Nathaniel. xo.com fast update

Christina has found excellent support to back her up!

The hatred in Azure’s eyes was palpable as she glared at Christina.

Members of the Hadley family were well-known for sticking up for their close ones, especially Nathaniel’s

generation. There was almost no limit to his affection for Christina.

Christina rightfully accepted Nathaniel’s protection so that she could focus wholly on interrogating Nigel. “Nigel, this

is the last time I’m asking you. Where’s my father?”

Nigel’s jaw was dislocated, his cheekbones were nearly crushed, and a few of his teeth were knocked out. Even the

slightest movement of his facial muscles would send his entire body writhing in pain.

“I don’t-ah!” Before Nigel could finish, Christina swung her leg at the same spot Nathaniel had kicked. Even though

the force from her kick wasn’t as powerful as Nathaniel’s, it was enough to send Nigel halfway into the grave.

Nigel lay silently on the ground. Other than a few convulsions, he looked lifelessly still.

Fear and concern for her son flooded Azure. She struggled to break free from the bodyguards and crawled toward

Christina. “Target your anger at me if you must and spare the innocent!” she pleaded humbly.

Nigel is innocent?

Christina figured that was probably the funniest joke she had ever heard. Azure was not only blind in her eyes even

her heart was blind. The old lady had no conscience.

Not wanting to waste another breath, Christina said, “I’ll give you ten seconds to consider your choices. If you insist

on staying quiet. I’ll turn my attention to Yerek and Anya once I’m done with you.”

Azure stared at Christina as though the latter was a monster. “Even if they did something wrong and the Gibson

family had split up, they are still your family. How can you be so cruel?”

“Cruel? Me?” Christina’s eyes turned glacial. “They murdered my mother for their own benefit. Why didn’t you

consider them cruel when they caused trouble for me and my dad? Now the time has come to pay the price. They

can’t just enjoy themselves and not pay for it. This time, you guys were the ones who started

1. I’ve given you a way out, but your inflated ego destroyed it.”

Azure clenched her fists. She couldn’t come up with anything to refute Christina’s accusations. The truth was laid

bare in front of her. It was true that Nigel had harmed his sibling first out of greed.

She had thought she could still boss Timothy around just because she was his biological mother, but she had no

right to criticize Christina.

Christina’s anxiety grew by the minute, yet she kept a calm look on her face as she reminded her, “You stil have

three minutes.”

Azure dropped her gaze and studied Nigel’s terrible injuries. She shut her eyes resignedly, and a flash of conviction

flicked across them when she opened them. “I can tell you your father’s whereabouts, but you must promise me

one condition.”

“You’ve already lost the right to negotiate,” Nathaniel piped up.

At that moment, Sebastian led his men out of the mansion and shook his head at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel frowned.

Jasper clearly said that Timothy and Mrs. Lazuli didn’t leave the mansion after entering the building together. How

can a living person disappear into thin air? Where did Nigel hide him?

Nathaniel had none of Christina’s scruples, so he did not hesitate to act on her behalf. Also, he could be more

ruthless.

“Sebastian, bring Yerek and Anya over.”
