Chapter 632 Trouble
A cold look swirled in Nathaniel’s eyes as he queried, “Do you need my help?”
He had little interest in the intricacies of it all, but he harbored no leniency for those who dared to harm
his people.
Out of consideration for Christina, he refrained from taking any action against the Gibson family. He
honored her decision and wish to handle matters with the Gibsons personally, but with the stiption
that her safety remainedpletely protected.
Christina firmly declined without hesitation, stating, “Anya still serves a purpose for us, being Warren
Yackley’s mistress, who has a close rtionship with Winston. He, too, was entangled in the events of
the past.”
Nathaniel quickly discerned her intentions and remarked, “You intend to manipte Warren through
Anya, don’t you? Share your n with me.”
At that moment, she recounted the incident, describing how she strategically timed the revtion of
Anya and Warren’s affair to coincide with their stay in a hotel room, allowing Warren’s wife to see
through his deceit.
Warren owed his current status to his marriage to a wealthy family. While he indulged in avish and
promiscuous lifestyle outside, he was a submissive and non-assertive man at home.
Warren’s wife was a proper and dignified socialite, proud and arrogant due to her privileged upbringing.
After marrying Warren, she became increasingly dominant in nature, and her demands of him became
more and more unreasonable.
Even so, Warren never expressed any discontent. He gained a reputation as a henpecked husband,
going to great lengths to fulfill his wife’s almost perverse desires.
Indeed, Warren’s wife waspletely fooled by his deception, enabling him to assume control over the
family’s business and assets. Those who depended on Warren for their own interests kept his
extramarital affairs a secret, as it served their own agendas and ambitions.
It wasn’t until Christina exposed the intimate video of Anya and Warren to Warren’s wife that she
realized the extent of her husband’s deception.
Anya’s provocation of Warren’s wife was akin to challenging a tigress. If she weren’t taught a harsh
lesson this time, it would be a blow to thetter’s dignity and reputation.
“Warren has been ustomed to a life of wealth and luxury for most of his life. However, his wife will
definitely not tolerate this humiliation. Divorce would be the worst oue for them, something he
would never agree to. In the end, the one getting the short end of the stick is Anya,” said Christina.
Here, she paused before continuing, “Her affair with Warren has already be public knowledge,
and he once promised to marry her. I know Anya’s personality well. If her demands are not met, she
will not give up easily. I’m just waiting for her and Warren to have a falling out. When that happens, his
secret will be leverage in Anya’s hands. After some time, I’ll employ some tactics to get her to
come and strike up a negotiation with me.””
Christina had already meticulously nned the entire scheme. She was simply waiting for the right
moment-a moment when Anya and Warren would have a falling out.
“After you had Sebastian ry the message to me, I sent someone to investigate the rtionship
between Warren and Winston,” Nathaniel said. “Winston once saved Warren’s life, and Warren, being
somewhat superstitious, believed that Winston was his lucky star and recognized him as his godson.
Once David Labarge established a newpany, Warren privately introduced projects from his inws
company to David. Hence, Warren is the third investor of the Labarge cousins’pany.”
Her curiosity piqued, Christina questioned, “What’s the name of Winston’s newpany?”
She had never personally interacted with Winston, and her perception of him was based on Nathaniel’s
descriptions. Even Nathaniel regards Winston as a shrewd and cunning individual, so surely he’s not
going to be easy to deal with. Nevertheless, it’s better for me to gather more information about the man
so that I wouldn’t be caught off guard if I were to encounter him in the future.
“Apex Technologies,” replied Nathaniel. “Winston was worried that Nigel may pose obstacles for him in
the construction materials industry, so on the surface, he made it seem like he abandoned his old
business and ventured into online business. However, in reality, he had Warren negotiate the
construction materials supply business. Warren had his father-inw backing him, so there was no
shortage of orders. If Nigel coborated with Winston, he would be at the mercy of thetter.”

A sudden realization dawned upon Christina as a gleam shed across her eyes. “If Nigel finds out that
Winston had been manipting him all along, what do you think he’d do for revenge?”
“Last time, when the rumors you spread reached Nigel’s ears, he rushed over to Jadeborough and
gave Winston a good beating. He threatened Winston to return all of the embezzled money, or else he
wouldn’t mind dragging Winston down with him.”
Christina’s interest was piqued. “Do you think Winston willply?” she asked.
“He won’t.” Nathaniel was certain about that much. “Nigel’s status has changed drastically. The Stone
family is no longer under Barnaby’s control. With Sheridan in power, Nigel can only be considered an
illegitimate son of the Stone family. ording to the family rules, an illegitimate son cannot inherit the
family’s assets.”
Hearing this, the woman felt much more at ease.
Nigel was in a precarious position. Having lost his power in the Gibson family and failed to gain
recognition from the Stone family, he was not a match for the Gibson family at all.
Money yed a crucial role in society, and without it, one could face significant challenges. The threat
posed by Nigel to the Gibson family had significantly diminished due to his financial limitations.
Nevertheless, Christina still insisted on her initial n of bringing Timothy and Gibson Corporation to
Jadeborough.
With a smile on her face, she cheerily lifted the lukewarm hangover remedy and brought it to
Nathaniel’s lips. “You’ve worked hard. If it weren’t for you investigating Winston and the others on my
behalf, I would’ve taken many detours with my n. The remedy will get cold if you don’t drink it soon.
Go ahead and take a sip.”
After finishing everyst drop of the hangover remedy, the man bent down and scooped her up in his
arms, taking long strides toward the second floor.
“It’s still early. You should go rest a little longer,” he said.
Christina lifted her head and nced at the view outside, noticing a faint glimmer of dawn on the
horizon.
It’s almost dawn. We’ve been chatting in the kitchen for that long?

Christina woke up naturally after a restful sleep, finding that Nathaniel had already left for work. He had
thoughtfully instructed the kitchen to prepare a nutritious meal for her and instructed Raymond to
ensure that Christina finished the entire meal. He even requested a video of her eating to be sent to
him for review.
After finishing her meal, Christina sat back in a cozy wicker chair in the courtyard, basking in the
sunlight with her pleasantly rounded belly.
As the warm sunlight enveloped her body, she began to drift off to sleep.
“Mrs. Hadley, are you asleep?” Raymond appeared quietly behind Christina, asking in a tentative tone.
“What is it, Mr. Patel?” She opened her eyes, sat up, then turned around to look at the man behind her.
“Your friend, Ms. Maguire, is here. She has an urgent matter to discuss with you in person.”
Recently, Nathaniel had implemented several strict rules at Scenic Garden Manor, requiring all visitors
to obtain his approval before gaining entrance. The purpose of these rules was to ensure that Christina
could rest assured and focus on her pregnancy without worry.
Raymond had received Nathaniel’s permission before conveying the message to Christina, and the
process took some time.
“Let her in.” Right after the words left Christina’s mouth, Rayne invited herself in, unable to wait any
longer.
Raymond did not say anything and served the two women some tidbits before leaving them alone.
Having not seen each other for more than half a month, Christina and Rayne were surprised to feel a
sense of familiarity that had been absent for a long time.
“Rayne, you look like you’ve gotten skinnier, and yourplexion doesn’t look good either. Have you
fallen ill?” Christina asked, her toneced with concern.
Rayne quickly approached her and went straight to the point. “The studio is in major trouble again, and
this time it’s not due to any mistakes made by our employees, but rather trouble that has sought us
out.”
