The entire car was engulfed in flames after the explosion.
“Clean up the mess, Sebastian.” Fearing that this incident would affect Christina’s baby, Nathaniel
carried her into his car after giving the order.
A faint smile formed on Emilia’s lips as she stared at the flames in the distance. She then rolled the car
window down and tossed the black controller out.
Now that I have gotten rid of Anya, my next target is Christina! I will make her suffer a thousand times
more!
With that in mind, Emilia drove off feeling amazing.
As though Sebastian had heard something, he turned around and glanced at the end of the road. He
had a little furrow between his eyebrows when he saw a black car disappear from sight.
“Go check and see if there are any surveillance cameras nearby,” he said while motioning at a
bodyguard.
“On it!” the bodyguard replied and ran off to carry out his duty.
Nathaniel kept Christina company while she got an examination at the hospital before they returned to
Scenic Garden Manor. She had planned on taking a short nap in the afternoon, but the shock from
earlier -had left her so exhausted that she slept till the evening.
While heading downstairs for dinner, Christina saw that Lyle was nowhere to be found. “Where’s Lyle?”
she asked.
The look in Nathaniel’s eyes turned slightly cold. “He was not able to protect you, so I have sent him
back to the camp for more training. I will get you another bodyguard.”
Nathaniel had actually wanted to replace Lyle, but he couldn’t really find another bodyguard as capable
as Lyle.
“It’s not his fault. Everything happened way too quickly. None of us thought Anya would be bold enough
to kidnap me in broad daylight. I told him to go buy me some pastries, and I let my guard down while
waiting. That’s how Anya managed to get me,” Christina explained.
“He did not follow protocol, so he needs to be punished accordingly,” Nathaniel said coldly while
placing a chunk of fish on her plate.
Christina put her cutlery down and stood up. “I have gotten used to Lyle’s protection, and I don’t want to
waste any more time and energy adapting to a new guy. I’m done eating.”
She then turned around and went upstairs.
Nathaniel could tell that she was clearly throwing a tantrum. Not wanting to upset her any further, he
gave Sebastian a call and said, “Have Lyle transferred back here. Also, pair some of the more agile
and sharp- -witted men with him. I want them protecting Christina in secret.”
Sebastian was not surprised when he heard Nathaniel’s order. “Understood.”
Nathaniel took a sip of red wine and made his way into the courtyard. “How is the investigation going?
Did you manage to find anything?”
“Anya’s car had been tampered with. They rewrote her car’s programming so they could control it from
a
distance. I suspect that the person who did it was nearby at the time. Unfortunately, there were no
surveillance cameras near the abandoned school, so we were unable to identify that person.”
“Emilia is Anya’s accomplice. Go find out where she has been today,” Nathaniel ordered icily.
Now that Anya is dead, we won’t be able to prove that Emilia was her accomplice based on Christina’s
testimony alone.
With that in mind, Nathaniel added, “Sebastian, I want you to go meet Emilia in person. I don’t trust
anyone else with this task. Even if you can’t find proof of Emilia’s involvement in this kidnapping, you
need to collect evidence of her other crimes. Emilia needs to go.”
Emilia is a really dangerous person. She pretended to be working with Anya, only to kill her when she
no longer needed her. It’s clear that she has a much more sinister plan in mind. If a little bit of overkill is
necessary to ensure Christina’s safety, then so be it.
Sebastian tailed Emilia later that night and arrived at a fancy bar.
Instead of heading straight to the bar after parking her car, Emilia walked up to Sebastian’s car and
knocked on the window.
Sebastian calmly rolled his window down and asked, “Oh, hello there, Ms. Steele. Is there something I
can help you with?”
Emilia rested one hand on his car window and asked with a coquettish smile, “You’ve been following
me since the afternoon, Mr. Taggart. Why don’t you come have a drink with me? I’ll tell you everything
you want to know.”
I know I’m not the best at tailing people, but Emilia shouldn’t have spotted me so easily. How did she
know I was tailing her?
With that in mind, Sebastian replied calmly, “I’m afraid you may have gotten the wrong idea, Ms.
Steele. I wasn’t following you or anything. I am simply waiting for someone.”
Emilia flashed Sebastian a faint smile, reaching out to grab him by the chin. She was about to say
something when someone shouted angrily behind her, “What the f*ck are you two doing?”
Victoria’s eyes were burning with anger as she stormed up to Sebastian’s car. Before Emilia even
realized what was going on, Victoria grabbed her by the hair and smacked her on the head with her
handbag.
“How dare you lay your filthy claws on my man, Emilia? I’ll chop them off tonight!” Victoria yelled
furiously.
Words like “modest” and “gentle” did not even come close to describing Victoria at the moment.
Victoria hated Emilia for hurting Christina, but she hadn’t been able to do anything about it. Now that
she had caught Emilia seducing Sebastian, she was determined to teach her a lesson.
Emilia had not expected Victoria to show up all of a sudden.
The fact that the daughter of the Lesley family would take an interest in a lowly personal assistant is
enough to cause a scandal. Victoria is Christina’s junior and best friend, so destroying her reputation is
equal to getting my revenge on Christina!
Before Emilia could even come up with a plan, however, Victoria had tackled her to the ground and
climbed on top of her.
Victoria then took her high heel off and attempted to hit Emilia in the face with it, but Sebastian quickly
stopped her.
He pulled her to her feet and hugged her tightly as he said, “Calm down, Victoria. We’re in public right
now, remember? Look, this really is a misunderstanding. I’ll explain everything to you when we get
back, okay?”
Victoria’s tears were still flowing as she glared at Sebastian with reddened eyes. “Have you gotten tired
of me, Sebastian? Is that why you didn’t push her away when she touched you? How is she any better
than me? I’m prettier, wealthier, and I love you more than anything!”
Although Emilia was the one who got hit, Victoria acted as though she was the victim instead.
“I like you a lot, Sebastian! You can’t break up with me even if you have gotten tired of me, okay? I
know I have a bad temper, but I can change!” Victoria said softly, like a child that was afraid of being
scolded by her parents.
Sebastian hugged her and whispered, “I’m working, not flirting with other girls. Stop crying, okay?”
