Chapter 582 I Am Not A Mistress
The advice Nathaniel offered wasn’t to encourage Christina to confront Winston directly. He simply
wanted to let her know he would do whatever it took to fulfill her desires. L
Even if he had to pay a dear price, he would safeguard her.
Having spent a long time with Nathaniel, Christina had reached a level of tacit understanding with him
and was willing to ept his intention.
“I know what to do.” A hint of haughtiness shed across her eyes as she blinked. “If I acquire
important clues from Winston about the past, fail to control myself, and end up crippling him, you have
to protect me.”
Nathaniel scratched her palm lightly with his fingers. “Do as you please. Winston won’t dare to cause
you any harm.”
“Where’s the lounge? Let’s hurry over.” Christina could hardly suppress her excitement to stir up
trouble, yearning to meet the well-known figure. Winston, in person.
Nathaniel held Christina in a protective stance while leading her toward the lounge.
When the two were passing through a garden, they heard amotion resonating across the night
sky.
Christina didn’t want to meddle in others’ affairs, but one of the voices sounded too familiar.
She stopped in her tracks and turned toward the source of the noise.
Nathaniel frowned. “Christina, do you want to go over and watch what’s happening?”
Now that Christina was pregnant, Nathaniel wasn’t fond of her mingling in crowded and chaotic ces.
After all, if there was any pushing or uproar, she might easily get hurt by ident.
The high-end banquet venue was filled with members from prestigious families and celebrities.
Arguments weremonly seen during such asions as those elites of the society fought to be in
the limelight. Bullying others on the spot had be a norm for them to satisfy their desire for victory.
Christina uttered, “I think I just heard Bailey’s voice. I have to go over and take a look.”
She quickly slipped out of Nathaniel’s arms and hastened toward the center of the ruckus.
Nathaniel trailed behind her expressionlessly.
When Christina arrived, the area around the pool was already crowded with onlookers.
Two beautiful women were brawling, one of them straddling the other. The woman on top pulled the
hair of the woman beneath her and repeatedly pped thetter while incessantly hurling insults.
“Julian is my fiancé, and everyone knows about this. Aren’t you a daredevil for having the guts to
seduce my man under -my watch? You even climbed into bed with him. I’ve arranged for someone to
follow you for some time now. You could’ve done anything else, yet you chose to be a despisable
mistress. Since you’re so adept at seducing men, I suppose you must’ve slept with countless of them
all the time. The Cook family has done a poor job raising their daughter. I’ll y you today and help your
parents teach you a lesson about dignity. and self-respect, you shameless woman!”
Christina pushed her way through the crowd, and the sight before her made her gasp.
The person being bullied and pinned down was Bailey,
Bailey’s makeup was ruined, and there was even a scratch on her face, smearing her countenance
with blood.
Even worse. Bailey’s dress was drenched in alcohol and torn to shreds, leaving her body barely
covered.
Nheless, the woman hitting Bailey was unrelenting Her ferocious demeanor appeared no different
from a crazy woman. The onlookers were all enjoying the spectacle, and none stepped forward to
break up the fight.
“Ill kill you?” That woman strangled Bailey with all her might using both her hands.
Bailey’s face was turning purple. She was absolutely no match for her opponent. “Let… go of me.
Help!”

Christina was enraged. She picked up a bottle of wine on the table and flung it at the woman’s back.
“Christina!”
Following Nathaniel’s growl, the wine bottle smashed against the woman’s back, scattering ss
shards and sshing wine over the three women.
That woman turned around and nced at Christina in bewilderment before her body went limp, and
she tumbled off Bailey. The striking red liquid flowed on the greenwn, forming a spine-chilling sight
as others failed to discern whether it was blood or wine.
“Ahh! It’s murder! Someone hurry up and call security!” someone in the crowd suddenly screamed,
causing the scene to erupt into chaos.
Nathaniel took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Christina, cradling her in his arms. He kissed
her forehead and continuously reassured her in a gentle voice. “Don’t be scared. It’s all right. She’s not
dead. Don’t look.”
Christina’s face was pale. Her body and hands trembled greatly. A surreal sense washed over her as
her mind buzzed and her brain throbbed painfully.
While listening to his soothing constion, she felt a warm andrge palm covering her eyes.
“Be good. Don’t look. You’ll have nightmares.”
Christina sobbed and buried her face in Nathaniel’s chest.
Bailey inhaled sharply and gazed at Ze Langford, who was lying in a pool of blood, in stupefaction.
She mbered a few steps sideways.
Immediately afterward, Julian’s towering figure appeared in Bailey’s line of sight.
Taking in that horrifying scene before him, he riveted his astonished gaze on Bailey.
The pent-up grievances within Bailey’s chest instantly copsed. Bailey looked at Julian with an
anticipatory look. “Jul”
However, the rest of her words got stuck in her throat when she noticed his subsequent actions.
Julian strode past Bailey, carried Ze in his arms, and growled at the security guards behind him.
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call an ambnce!”
Then, he swiftly walked away with Ze in his embrace without uttering a single word to Bailey the
whole time.
Bailey’s expectations and fear intertwined, forming an imprable and suffocating that ensnared
her.
Heart-wrenching pain erupted in her chest, and the agony was so intense that she almost suffered an
emotional breakdown.
Bailey sat in her spot, staring nkly ahead and allowing others to direct mocking and disdainful
nces at her. She didn’t retort even as the onlookers besmirched her reputation and berated her.
Julian’s appearance quickly pulled Christina back to her senses.
“Bailey, let’s leave this ce for now.” Christina crouched down beside Bailey, took off the suit jacket on
her, and draped it over thetter. “Let’s go.”
Bailey grasped Christina forcefully, her grip so strong that it left red marks on Christina’s fair skin.
Nathaniel received two nkets from a server and handed them to Christina. “There are a lot of
reporters outside. We should leave from the side door.”
Christina shot him a grateful look and took the nkets from him. She wrapped one of the nkets,
around Bailey’s body and draped the other over her head, concealing Bailey’s face.
Nathaniel had alerted Sebastian in advance to bring the car to the side door.
The trio sessfully navigated through the deserted path and got into the ck Maybach parked at the
side door.
Nathaniel looked at Christina. “You take her to the hospital. I’ll stay here to handle the aftermath. If you
need anything, let Sebastian know. I’ll join you shortly”
He leaned over the car window and kissed Christina’s forehead before indifferently instructing
Sebastian to roll up the car window.
After that, the ck Maybach slowly moved out of the manor.
Christina had seen Bailey in her prime, and she had also seen thetter heartbroken and despondent.
However, she had never seen Bailey in such a miserable and helpless state before.
Bailey held Christina’s wrist tightly as if grasping herst lifeline. “Christina, you must believe me. I’m
not a mistress. I never intended to steal another person’s husband!”
