Chapter 304 Confined
mes of anger burned in Nathaniel’s chest, and his reason was clouded by anger. He didn’t know if
he should trust the photos or Christina’s words.
“Let me go…”
Christina was in so much despair that it felt like she was pushed to the edge of a cliff and would fall into
the depths of doom the next second.
Nathaniel eventually released his grip on the woman’s neck when he saw her reddened face turn pale
from suffocation. Without support, her frail body copsed and slumped on the carpet instantly.
Christina coughed and took a while to catch her breath. Her eyes were bloodshot as she said weakly,
“These photos must’ve been taken by someone with ill intentions…
At that moment, the room felt like a scorching hell to Christina. It was as though hotva covered every
inch of the floor, leaving her with no way to escape.
After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally broke the silence by speaking emotionlessly, his
expression grimmer than ever. “These photos wouldn’t even exist in the first ce if the two of you
weren’t so intimate.”
Christina’s sobs echoed in the room. The faint sound was magnified when it traveled into Nathaniel’s
ears. triggering an intense pain in his heart.
After some time, he exited the room resolutely.
Tears blurred Christina’s vision. She didn’t understand why Nathaniel didn’t believe her when they had
been together for so long.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was speeding down the empty road in his car.
Eventually, he returned to thepany.
His identity was too prominent and would attract unwanted attention, so he couldn’t vent his emotions
freely in public. As such, he could only do so in his office, behind closed doors.
Nathaniel grabbed several bottles of whiskey from the wine rack. Sometimes, people drank to savor the
fragrant aroma of alcohol, while others drank just to get themselves intoxicated to escape from reality.
Clearly, Nathaniel was thetter.
He uncapped the bottle and downed the whole bottle of whiskey without even using a ss.
Why did she lie? When did they get together? She even hid Francis in her dressing room. So, all my
suspicions turned out to be true.
Frustration surged in his heart as if no amount of alcohol could dispel it.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Madison walked in and saw Nathaniel sitting on the carpet with his back against the counter. His ck
suit jacket was left at the side. One of his slender legs was bent, while empty wine bottles were
scattered on the floor beside him.
Nathaniel had always been a disciplined man. Under normal circumstances, he would never allow
himself to get drunk.
Madison could tell from his current state that the photos she had someone sent to the office
anonymously in the morning had worked their magic.
She walked over to Nathaniel and observed his charming countenance which was covered in a
drunken reddish hue. Influenced by alcohol, he appeared to be somewhat befuddled. “That’s enough,
Mr. Hadley. Don’t drink too much.”
Then, she took the wine bottle away from his hand. In response, Nathaniel merely red at her without
a word.
Should I send you home, Mr. Hadley?” Madison asked tentatively.
“No… Leave…” Nathaniel gave a dismissive wave before he closed his eyes.
After a while, he waspletely knocked out.
Madison’s heart palpitated heavily as she watched Nathaniel sound asleep.
The man she had fallen head over heels for was right before her. Unable to control herself, she leaned
closer to Nathaniel, and the lingering scent of perfume on his body enveloped her along with the smell
of alcohol, intoxicating her further.
Gawking at his handsome face. Madison muttered. “Why bother about Christina, Nathaniel? You are an
outstanding man. Other women should be the ones doing everything they can to pursue you, not the
other way around.”
Then, she removed her coat and took out her phone to take intimate photos of the two of them
together.
Looking at the pictures, she was pleased with herself as a smug grin spread across her face.
Christina, you don’t stand a chance against me anymore,
Rays of the morning sun shone into the lounge the next day, gradually illuminating Nathaniel’s
charming face, muscr chest, and exquisite corbones.
Upon opening his eyes, he realized he was shirtless. As a sharp headache assailed him, he ced a
hand on his forehead and touched something warm beside him.
The thick perfume he smelled did not belong to Christina.
He swiftly lifted the quilt covering him, and the moment he saw who was in bed with him, his heart
sank, and he gasped in horror.
Jumping off the bed at the speed of lightning, he stared at the woman on the bed in disbelief. “What are
you doing here, Madison?”
Madison’s heart leaped to her throat as she perceived Nathaniel’s reaction. Stammering, she
exined, “Mr. Hadley, you… you were drunkst night and threw up all over yourself. Then, you
asked me to stay with you…
Nathaniel scrutinized Madison and was relieved to see that though her clothes appeared wrinkled, she
was still wearing thein neatly, which indicated that they didn’t do anything out of linest night.
After calming down, he said coldly, “Leave.”
Wearing a somewhat peculiar expression, Madison got out of bed, smoothened her clothes, and left
the lounge.
An assistant who came to deliver documents bumped into Madison when thetter opened the door.
The assistant’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Madisoning out of the CEO’s lounge looking
disheveled. There were even wine bottles lying around on the floor.
Everything she saw overturned Nathaniel’s image in her heart.
“Put the documents down and leave,” Madison said indifferently.
“Okay.” The assistant returned to her senses and left after dropping off the documents.
After a change of clothes, Madison returned to the office and cleaned up the wine bottles. She even
sprayed the room with an air freshener to cover the reeking smell of alcohol.
Soon, Nathaniel stepped out of the lounge.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
He was dressed in formal attire, and his short hair wasbed neatly with a few strands of bangs
scattered on his forehead. Taking a seat on his ck chair, he looked dejected.
“Mr. Hadley, we have a project to discuss in Horbah. Should I postpone it?” Madison asked, concerned
“No. We will do as nned.”
At first, Madison was worried he would return to Christina. Now that he had agreed to go to Horbah,
she was delighted. “Understood.”
Meanwhile, at Scenic Garden Manor, Christina woke up feeling cold. She opened her eyes only to find
that her eyelids were so swollen that she could barely open them.
Looking at the empty bed, she felt like a lost little sailboat, drifting aimlessly on the ocean.
After changing into a set of fresh clothes, she walked out of the room but was blocked by the
bodyguards at the door.
With furrowed brows, Christina showed displeasure on her face. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Mr. Hadley instructed us not to let you leave without his permission,” the bodyguard truthfully replied.
Hearing that, Christina widened her eyes in disbelief. “Who gave him the right to confine me?”
The two bodyguards froze and fell silent.
They could not do anything except carry out the orders given to them.
Enraged, Christina returned to her bedroom. She took out her phone and called Nathaniel, but every
single one of her calls went straight to voicemail.
Clearly, he was avoiding her calls on purpose.
Without a choice, Christina left him a voicemail.
Can we talk about this, Nathaniel? Call me. We’ve been together for so long. Why don’t you trust me?”
hen, Christina hung up and sat helplessly on the couch in a daze, waiting for him to call back.
The housekeepers delivered meals to her door on time for two consecutive days, but Christina ate very
little.
Nathaniel had rejected all her phone calls no matter how many times she called him.
On the third day, she could not take it anymore and started smashing everything in the room that she
could get her hands on.
