Chapter570Sabotage
Christina’s voice was soft, and if Nathaniel did not pay attention to her, he would not have heard what
she had said.
That was because she was not expecting anyone to give her an answer. However, Nathaniel, who
never paid attention to the gossip of the show business, abruptly said, “Anthea’s opportunities were
passed onto Elizabeth after her cklisting.”
The fame of an artiste in the entertainment industry was not merely judged based on their reputation
and influence, but also by the number of opportunities they had.
While it was nothing unusual to see someone intercept another person’s opportunity, it was a matter
that concerned the artiste’s reputation.
Most would choose to endure it in silence, but Anthea was a proud woman. Thus, she started going
after Elizabeth in public.
Anthea had spent quite an amount of money to dig up Elizabeth’s dark past to expose it.
Simrly, Elizabeth’s team could not take it in silence either, so they began retaliating.
That was how the personal fight between the two celebrities ended up transforming into a fight between
their fans as well.
The chaos on the inte spread offline, and soon, it became the news that Christina saw–Anthea
surrounded by Elizabeth’s fans and being cursed at. At the same time, Elizabeth’s film site was
constantly getting sabotaged by Anthea’s fans, so the film crew had no choice but to pause work.
Everything had urred in the matter of hours.
Christina returned to Nathaniel’sp and brought a piece of fruit to him.
Nathaniel, who was staring at his document on hisptop, opened his mouth to eat it without averting
his gaze.
“Nathaniel, you were the one who ordered the cklisting of Anthea, weren’t you?”
Things had gone south for Anthea right after Christina met her on Hadley Corporation’s turf, so
Christina would have to be a fool to think that Nathaniel was not involved.
In an icy tone, Nathaniel said, “She shouldn’t have crossed you.”
A smile grew on Christina’s lips, and she put down the te of fruit before lunging at him. As she
nuzzled her head against the crook of his neck like an excited kitten, she remarked, “It feels so good to
be under someone’s protection.”
Nathaniel curled his lips and reached out to pinch her neck. Reaching past her waist to get to his
laptop, he then said, “It’ll take some time before dinner is done. Do you want to sleep for a while
longer?”
Christina breathed in the faint pine scent on Nathaniel and mumbled, “I’m not sleepy. Elizabeth ordered
a dress from my studio under Anthea’s name, but I’ve made it known to Anthea that I’ve rejected the
order and told her that she broke the contract first. But now that Anthea’s in hot water, I won’t be able to
get my penalty fee, right?”
Anthea had too much work and engagements at hand, so Christina’s studio was not the onlypany
she had topensate.
What a little money–grubber. You are always thinking about money.
Nathaniel’s expression softened into a doting look. “No. The Campbell family values their dignity. Even
if Anthea can’t pay the penalty fee, the Campbell family will still resolve this issue for her. The
Campbells can ignore the requests of the others, but they won’t dare to miss yourpensation.”
Even though Christina’s studio was just a young bud, anyone who did a quick investigation into her
studio would easily find out about Christina’s connection to Nathaniel.
The Campbell family would not cross Nathaniel just to save a meager amount of money.
While Anthea could give up on her career in the entertainment industry easily, the Campbell family
could not just pull out of the corporate world.
Nathaniel’s reply put Christina at ease about herst worry. While she leaned into his arms, she closed
her eyes and muttered, “I’ll heed your words. If Anthea really does try to skip thepensation, I’ll
come after you.”
As she spoke, she jabbed her finger on Nathaniel’s chest.
Nathaniel grabbed her hand and smiled even wider. “Okay. If she doesn’tpensate you, I’ll do it.”
Then, he held the back of her head and leaned closer to her.
“I’ll give myself to you aspensation.“D
He sealed her lips and the words Christina wanted to say.
That night, not only did she receive Nathaniel’s immense pensation,” but she was nearly
exhausted by his long pensation process“. D
It seemed like it was her loss in the end. D
The next morning, Christina went down the stairs with a hand on her back with much difficulty. As
Nathaniel was worried that she would tumble down, he bent over to carry her.
She let out a shriek before grumpily ring at him. “Let me down!”
“I’ll let you down in a while,” Nathaniel said with a small smile. Ignoring her embarrassed and frustrated
gaze, he brought her to the dining table. “I can also provide you with feeding service.”
Christina’s face turned bright red, and she shoved him away. “My back’s so sore, It’s not as if I’ve
broken my hand. You were the one who did… Just stay away from me. I don’t want to see you today.”
The thought of the passionate night before nearly intensified the burning sensation on Christina’s face
until it set her face on fire.
If not for the doctor’s orders, Nathaniel would not have held himself back.
Nathaniel rejected, “No way. No matter where you hide, I’ll find you.”

He then pulled the chair beside her and sat down on it. Once he took her te, he started peeling the
egg.
Meanwhile, Christina was telling herself that she had to set a rule for Nathaniel, or she would never
leave the house ever again at this rate.
After that, she lowered her head and ate her breakfast, ignoring Nathaniel.
Nathaniel was not a chatty person, but he did not mind coaxing her. “I’m going to meet Winston today
to talk about the coboration. I’ll pick you up from the studio at noon and tell you the details then.”
Christina froze in the middle of her action and frowned. “You know that something’s up with Winston, so
why do you still want to take the risk and work with him?”
Sure enough, Christina’s attention was diverted by the new topic.
As Nathaniel held the egg to her mouth, he said, “Eat first. Then, I’ll tell you.”
Christina finished the egg unwillingly. When she saw Nathaniel slowly cleaning his fingers with the
napkin, she impatiently urged, “Hurry up and tell me, Nathaniel.”
Nathaniel uttered, “It’s a long–term n to catch the big fish. If there isn’t a bait that’s good enough to
lure Winston. I won’t be able to find out the person behind this. The rtionship between the Hadley
family and the Gibson family is worsening. If the Hadley family continues working with Winston, the
mastermind will be wary. Winston is greedy. He won’t be able to give up on the lucrative profits that the
Hadley family can give him, so he might let history repeat itself.”
What Christina did not know was that Nathaniel had already gained control over Winston. If not for
Nathaniel’s fear of rming the mastermind, he would have destroyed everything Winston had
immediately.
Winston only had the opportunity to work with the Hadley family because he was still useful to
Nathaniel.
“I only used a small real estate project to test Winston out. It won’t affect the project’s future
development. Those trivial losses won’t matter that much,” Nathaniel added. “You don’t need to worry
about this. No matter how witty Winston is, he’s no match for me.”
Christina knew how capable and crafty Nathaniel was, but she was still afraid that someone would
sneak up on him from the shadows.
Nheless, not even Christina was capable of changing Nathaniel’s mind.
“Nathaniel, I don’t want you to take risks because of me.
