Chapter 418 Something More Important

When Christina woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the bedroom of Scenic Garden Manor

Feeling much better after a good night’s sleep, she changed into a new set of clothes and went out.

When Christina woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the bedroom of Scenic Garden Manor.

Feeling much better after a good night’s sleep, she changed into a new set of clothes and went out.

Meanwhile, a well-dressed young lady was trying out clothes at the store in the shopping mall. After finding out the

size that fitted her, she said to the salesperson. “I’m buying everything I tried just now.”

The salesperson said with an apologetic look. “All of our ready stock was sold out yesterday. The clothes here are

only for fitting.”

The young lady became displeased. “So I can’t buy anything?”

“Of course not. We accept reservations. You can pay a deposit and pick them up in three days,” explained the

salesperson.

Everyone thought that the store would be closed down today since there was no more ready stock last night.

Luckily. Ms. Steele came up with this idea to save us the embarrassment of having an empty store.

The young lady was satisfied with the clothes she tried on earlier, so she thought about it for a while and agreed.

“You should’ve stocked up if your business is good.”

“We will report this issue to our superiors.”

The young lady left after paying the deposit and leaving her information.

The salesperson looked at the large number of orders and mumbled with mixed feelings, “Fortunately, we didn’t

clear all the stock. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have received so many orders if customers couldn’t try on the clothes.”

The first thing Christina did every day after she left home was go to the factory to check on the progress. She could

only be at ease after making sure that there was no problem with the quality of the clothes.

After leaving the factory, she had a more important thing to do, which was to find Yerek

Ten minutes later, she got out of the car that had stopped outside the branch office of Gibson Corporation. Taking

the elevator, she headed straight to the floor where the CEO’s office was located.

While she was thinking about whether to call ahead first, she heard a man’s voice coming from the conference

room beside her.

“Mr. Gibson, this matter has been exposed, so you have to help me. Mr. Hadley has acquired the factory. They’ll

certainly take legal action against me next!”

The man’s hoarse voice sounded familiar to Christina.

She cautiously approached the conference room and saw through the crack of the door that the man. inside was

the clothing factory manager.

The person talking to him was none other than Yerek.

Could it be that I was set up from the very beginning?

“I’ve asked my assistant to make the necessary arrangements. You should lie low for now and only come back after

things calm down,” replied Yerek with a frown.

Something More Important

“Okay,” the factory manager responded helplessly.

When he turned around to open the door, he bumped into Christina.

“You-Ms. Steele?” Horror was written all over the man’s face.

With a cold smile, Christina said, “I’ve had a hard time finding you. Don’t leave in such a hurry. The police are

already downstairs.”

She had called the police immediately after hearing his voice.

Her words caused a change in the factory manager’s expression. “I have nothing to do with this matter!”

Christina’s eyes turned cold. “Explain that to the police.”

The factory manager’s eyes widened in shock. He promptly made a run for it using the fire escape.

Christina ignored him as he was merely a pawn. Instead, she walked straight into the office. “Yerek, what’s the point

of doing this?”

“All the money for the deposit and fabric you paid to the factory manager ended up in my pocket. I didn’t need to

spend a penny in this investment, and I even got dividends.”

A wicked smile appeared on Yerek’s face.

From the very beginning, he was certain that Nathaniel would step in, so it had all gone according to his plan.

Clenching her fists, Christina only realized then that Yerek’s target was Nathaniel and not her.

He used me!

“I’m going to call the police to get you arrested!” Christina said through gritted teeth..

Yerek snorted. “Go ahead, if you can find evidence.”

Christina’s heart sank.

He had it all planned out, so there’s no way that he would leave evidence behind.

As the tension reached a peak, the door of the office was pushed open.

It was Yerek’s assistant, who said, “Mr. Gibson, you have a meeting to attend.”

“I’m getting back to work. You can stay and sit for a while if you want.” With that, Yerek left the office with brisk

steps.

Christina was filled with indignance, but she could not find any evidence now.

At that moment, she was feeling utterly deflated, like a balloon without air.

How am I going to tell Nathaniel about this?

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that by the time she came to her senses, she found herself back in her office.

After sitting in the chair for a while, she decided to go to Nathaniel to explain everything clearly.

She recomposed herself and went upstairs, Coincidentally, she ran into Nathaniel, who had just left the conference

room after a meeting.

“Nathaniel, there’s something I need to-”

“I’ve got something important to tell you.”

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Christina looked up at him. “You go first.”

“I’m going to take you to meet someone.” Nathaniel held Christina’s hand and left after handing over the

documents in his hand to Sebastian.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a premier private hospital.

“Why did you bring me here?” Christina asked, baffled.

Turning off the car engine, Nathaniel looked at her. “I transferred your mom to this hospital after you left. After so

many years of treatment, the doctor called me today and said that she has woken up.”

“Really?” Christina felt a lump in her throat.

She had looked for her mother when she returned. The hospital told her that Sharon had been transferred. to a

branch hospital for treatment. It turned out that Nathaniel had secretly transferred her there.

The two got out of the car and walked to the hospital.

Holding Christina’s hand tightly, Nathaniel said gently, “I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t want you to worry. I

only let you know now because she’s regained consciousness.”

Christina nodded and held his hand tight as a layer of cold sweat formed in her palm.

When they reached the ward, Nathaniel let go of her hand.

“Go on in. She probably misses you too,” said Nathaniel in a soft voice.

“Okay.”

Christina pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. The smell of disinfectant in the air was off- putting, and

there were various instruments around the bed that she did not know the names of

There was a skinny figure lying on the hospital bed. The sight of Sharon’s haggard and pale face made Christina’s

heart ache. “Mom.”

When she spoke, she realized that her voice was hoarse.

“Christina.” Sharon’s voice was feeble.

Christina hurried toward Sharon and held her hand. The coldness from the latter’s hand gave her mixed feelings,

making her feel horrible.

The two chatted for a long time, with Christina doing most of the talking.

After the nurse brought dinner, Christina fed Sharon her food. When the visiting hours were almost over, the

former asked, “Mom, do you know a man named Yerek Gibson?”

Sharon, who looked calm at first, suddenly widened her eyes and asked instead, “Do you know him?”

“I looked into it. He was the one who ordered people to set fire to our house, but I have no evidence. Now he

deliberately showed up in front of me and even set me up. I don’t know what exactly he’s up to.”

While speaking, Christina carefully observed Sharon’s expression.

Looking uneasy, Sharon furrowed her brows deeply. After a long silence, she asked, “Where’s the necklace? Are

you wearing the necklace I gave you?”
