Chapter 605 A Backup n
Meanwhile, Christina left a message for Bailey. Subsequently, she started replying to the text from the
studio.
Rayne’s excitement was palpable, and her message read: We’ve received Anthea’s penalty for the
breach of contract, and the studio now has an extra half a year’s profit. When are you nning to make
time toe over to the studio so show your face? We all miss you, and the newly-recruited
employees would also like to meet their employer.
Christina stroked her baby bump, her fingers flying across the keypad as she replied: I’m making a trip
to Hallsbay tomorrow. We’ll make ns when Ie back. You guys would have to bear the brunt of
the work again these days. As for the penalty, use it to give bonuses to the employees. You make the
call about the specific amount.
Rayne texted back: If they were to learn about this, they’d likely jump for joy. Just focus on dealing with
your personal matters. I’ll keep an eye on things at the studio on your behalf. That aside, they can all
work independently. Everything will be fine with the studio.
Christina: Thank you.
No sooner had she sent that message than a warm body stered against her back and hugged her
from behind.
Noting the ID on the phone, Nathaniel asked, “Did something happen to the studio?”
“No. Rayne was merely reporting the studio’s current situation to me regrly. Did you find new leads
regarding Winston when you attended the cocktail party this afternoon?” Christina queried.
“These few days Nigel has been in jail gave him room to breathe. He has already secretly investigated
Nigel and obtained some dirt and incriminating evidence on the man. Perhaps he wants to use that to
threaten Nigel into giving up the idea of selling off Raveworks Enterprise. But he has a backup n.
Once Nigel stubbornly refuses to budge, he’ll cash out all the shares and stocks in his possession
before injecting the money into his newly establishedpany.”
Realization dawned upon Christina that there was an irreconcble conflict between Winston and Nigel.
Thus, if someone with ulterior motives were to pit them against each other, they would rip off all pretens
of civility.
“When will Nigel be released by the police?” Christina asked further.
“That’ll depend on how long your father wants him to stay in jail,” Nathaniel answered meaningfully.
Christina was startled for a moment. “You mean, my father is already aware of the heinous deeds Nigel
committed ndestinely?”
“He has started arranging for his trusted aide to investigate the ident five years ago. On top of that,
he secretly had someone draw a paternity test between Yerck and Nigel. Hence, I reckon he must have
learned part of the truth,” Nathaniel borated.
He knew all about Timothy sending someone over to seek Christina out to have her sign an asset
transfe agreement.
“I heard from Raymond that you’re going to Hallsbay tomorrow?” He proceeded to change the subject t
his matter of concern surreptitiously.
“My mother’s grave is going to be relocated. As such, I want to go visit her.” Getting out of bed,
Christina took a dry towel from the bathroom and toweled the man’s hair while standing behind him.
She then added, “Starting tomorrow, the Gibson family’s state of affairs is going to change beyond
recognition. 1 don’t want my father to face those people alone.”
After all, she harbored no hatred toward Timothy, merely loathing his obstinacy asionally.
The injustice she faced from the Gibson family was nothingpared to him having been deceived by
his own family for twenty years.
Once news of the Gibson family’s imminent division of family assets came to light, Nigel’s family would
never let Christina and Timothy off the hook as they had encroached on Nigel’s interests.
“I’ll go with you,” Nathaniel offered.
“The Gibsons dislike you, so your appearance will only infuriate them more. Nathaniel, I know you’re
worried about me, but I’ll have to face those troubles alone sooner orter. Let me handle things alone,
okay?” Christina stated solemnly.
Nathaniel’s brows knitted together in chagrin. “It’s precisely because the problems you’re going to face
are too dangerous that I can’t let you resolve things alone.
Christina kissed him on the forehead. “Winston has been ingratiating himself to you frequently, so he
probably has something big nned. The Gibson family’s upheaval is a golden opportunity for him to
fight back. How about this? You stay in Jadeborough to hold the fort, whereas I bring Sebastian with
me to Hallsbay.”
With Sebastian present, seventy percent of the problems could be resolved. After careful consideration,
Nathaniel agreed to that suggestion in the end.
“I’ll arrange for another person to go with you. His capabilities are on par with Sebastian’s. He was part
of a mercenary team abroad, and you’ve met him before.
Since the danger of the trip to Hallsbay was an unknown factor, Christina readily epted all the
arrangements made by Nathaniel.
The following morning. Sebastian came to Scenic Garden Manor with the bodyguard Nathaniel
specially arranged for Christina.
The bodyguard was none other than the man Christina ordered to drag Ze out of the sports car
yesterday.
He was known as Lyle, a mixed descent of Chanaca, Remdik, and Granatano. The muscr physique
beneath his suit carried immense power, and his rugged countenance exuded a sharp aura, striking
terror into others.
He was a head taller than Sebastian and was even more well-built than Nathaniel. The arrangement of
him being Christina’s bodyguard provided a sense of security.
Christina was very much satisfied with him as her bodyguard. Her smile turned even sweeter. She
leaned close to Nathaniel’s ear and whispered. “Thank you, Darling,”
Grabbing her wrist, Nathaniel pulled her onto hisp and wrapped an arm around her waist. “I prefer
those who put their thanks into action.”
At that turn of events, Sebastian and Lyle tactfully exited the living room, leaving space for the couple
to spend time alone.
“I’ve got to go to the airportter. Don’t take things too far-”
Christina’s voice abruptly cut off as Nathaniel captured her lips domineeringly.
Half an hourter, Christina was carried into the car by the man, her entire body limp.
Inwardly, she swore to never again tease him in the morning. Otherwise, she would be the one to suffer
and end up drained.
Nathaniel sat in the back seat happily and massaged Christina’s fingers.
Throughout the drive to the airport, he had her sofortable that she almost fell asleep.

“Give me a call as soon as you arrive in Hallsbay. Keep your phone on you at all times. You can’t turn it
or ignore my messages. Or else, I’ll worry. When I’m anxious, I tend to act impulsively,” Nathaniel
instructed gently while straightening her scarf.
Christina hastily nodded. “Yeah, okay, I got it. I’m about to bete for boarding. I’ll be leaving first. Hurr
up and go back to the office to work as well.”
Gathering her into his arms, Nathaniel dropped a kiss on her forehead. Then, he dropped his hold on h
reluctantly. “Go ahead. I’ll leave after seeing you through the boarding gate.”
Christina waved at him before stepping through the boarding gate behind Sebastian.
After getting onto the ne, she slept all the way to Hallsbay.
