Chapter 473 Like Stars In The Sky
Anya’s gaze darkened at once. She’s really good at pretending. She disyed a tough attitude in front
of me, but when she was with Sheridan, she began flirting with him. Sheridan must be blind to like a
woman like Christina.
Just then, a luxury car stopped in front of Anya, and she got in and left.
“Why the long face?” The woman in the driver’s seat was dressed like a trendy girl, wearing a short
blouse and skirt. She had an expensive diamond ne on her and exuded the elegance of a
wealthy heiress.
“Do you know Sheridan, the eldest son of the Stone family? He’s already in his thirties. Why isn’t he
married yet?” Anya asked curiously.
The woman’s eyes lit up, and she eximed excitedly. “Of course I know him! I heard he studied.
ounting overseas and returned to take over the family business in recent years. He’s still single. Are
you friends with him? Introduce me to him.”
“What? Sheridan studied ounting?” Upon hearing that, Anya almost jumped up from her seat.
“Yes, he has a double degree and holds a globally recognized ounting certification. He also owns a
highly reputable ounting firm in Hallsbay. Our family’s ounts are handled by them. Let’s not talk
about that. Are you going to introduce him to me?”
A dark glint shed past Anya’s eyes. Sheridan is an ountant, so Christina’s intention in getting
close to him might not be to seek higher social status but to investigate ounts.
Everything suddenly made sense.
Anya felt that Christina was indeed cunning for secretly plotting against her.
However, she would never give Christina a chance.
Meanwhile, Christina and Sheridan arrived at the restaurant. As soon as they took their seats, the
waiter served their dishes.
“But we haven’t ced an order yet,” Christina said in a puzzled tone.
Sheridan responded, “I ced the order in advance. Take a look at the dishes. If there’s anything that
doesn’t suit your taste, we can add more dishes.”
Christina nced at the food. They were all her favorites. “You really know what to order. I eat all of
these.”
“Of course. I did my homework in advance.” Sheridan chuckled gracefully, disying a refined and
gentle demeanor.
The two of them dined together. As they got engrossed in conversation, they also opened a bottle of
red wine.
After having dinner, they both headed back to the financepany. Fortunately, with several
individual’s lending their assistance, it was likely that the data would be avable within a week.
The moments of the two of them entering and leaving the restaurant, and entering thepany
together while chatting andughing were all captured by a private detective hidden in the shadows.
Those photos were sent to Nathaniel through the Inte.
He stared at the photos on the screen and saw the smile on Christina’s face. It had been a long time
since she had smiled at him so gently.
That made him very angry.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
I have only just left, and she’s already getting close to another man behind my back?
Nathaniel’s brow furrowed, and his face turned grim. He clenched his fist and mmed the table.
The people in the office werepletely shocked by that.
The director of the marketing department, who was giving a presentation, was especially frightened
and had no idea where he had stopped.
A few of them stared at Nathaniel in a daze. A whileter, the director of the marketing department
asked cautiously. “Mr. Hadley, are you not satisfied with my report?”
The director of the marketing department felt that his job was at stake, and the expressions of the other
directors weren’t any more positive. Despite the exceptional performance of the marketing department,
Nathaniel’s dissatisfaction made them tremble as they looked at the reports in their hands,
Sebastian’s eyes also widened in surprise. These reports have all met the target. It shouldn’t be a
matter of performance that’s making Mr. Hadley angry.
He cast a quick nce at theputer. The next moment, his pupils abruptly constricted. Mrs. Hadley
is smiling and flirting with another man. No wonder Mr. Hadley’s angry.
Nathaniel remainedposed as hezily lifted his icy gaze and instructed, “Go on.”
Only then did the director continue the presentation, and the tense atmosphere began to ease slightly.
Meanwhile, in Hallsbay, it waste at night.
As Christina waited in the office, Sheridan walked in with some pastries. The ountant is still sorting
out the data. We’ll have the datater in the evening
“No worries. They’ve been workingte. When it’s time to settle up, feel free to charge me,” Christina
said as she picked up her cup of tea and took a sip.
“Don’t worry. I’ll give you a special discount.” Sheridan chuckled gracefully. “By the way, there’s an art
exhibition tomorrow evening. Shall we go together?”
It was a renowned art exhibition, and tickets were hard toe by. Christina felt that she had found
kindred spirit. She smiled and asked, “Do you also enjoy visiting art exhibitions?”
“I do. To be frank, when Ie across a painting I like, I can spend a long time just gazing at it.”
Sheridan’s eyes were filled with tenderness, like stars in the sky.
Just as Christina was about to respond, her phone rang.
The moment Christina saw the caller ID, her expression grew solemn. “Lucas, Cam?
“Mommy, Cam has a fever, and she’s been crying Mommy, where are you? Can youe back and
apany Cam?”
Christina’s heart seemed to have stopped beating, and her expression froze. She became anxious.
“Don’t be scared. Cam. I’ll be home soon.”
After ending the call, she swiftly kept her things and got up to leave.
Sheridan caught up with her and asked worriedly. “Christina, what happened?”
“I need to go back to Scenic Garden Manor. I’m sorry, but we can discuss the ountster,” Christina
said as she continued to walk out of the room.
Seeing how worried she looked, Sheridan couldn’t leave her alone. “It’s toote for you to book a ticket.
now. Let me send you there.”
“But…” Christina was taken aback. She felt hesitant to ept his offer, feeling it was too much trouble
for him.
This time, it was Sheridan who took the initiative to hold her hand and walked toward the elevator.
“What are you waiting for? It’s an urgent matter, isn’t it?”
“But what about the ounts?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I have reliable professionals handling the ounts, and they are
well aware of the need for confidentiality.” While speaking. Sheridan took her hand and led her into the
elevator.
When they got back to Scenic Garden Manor from Hallsbay, it was already past midnight.
Sheridan parked his car at the front gate. A hint of fatigue appeared on his handsome face, but he
didn’t mind. He helped Christina unfasten her seatbelt.
“Hurry and go back,” he said.
Christina was stunned. She felt a twinge of guilt from his kindness. “Thank you for giving me a ride.
How about I book a hotel for you to rest?”
He had driven her over hundreds of kilometers without a word ofint. Leaving him like this made
her feel a bit guilty.
Sheridan could tell what she was thinking. He thoughtfully helped her open the car door. “Don’t you
have something urgent to handle? I’m a grown man. I can take care of such matters. Hurry up and go
inside.”
“Okay. Let’s stay in touch if anythinges up.”
Christina got out of the car. Her slender and graceful figure soon disappeared into the house.
Meanwhile, in the study, Nathaniel was dressed in loose pajamas. His gaze was cold and intense as he
stared at the car outside. Suddenly, there was a sharp sound as he shattered the ss in his hand.
The cold whisky dripped from his palm, and the air was instantly filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
