Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 569 Karma

Anthca’s vengeful nature was known to all in the entertainment industry.

Even though Elizabeth had someone powerful to back her up as well, it was still not enough in comparison with the

Campbell family.

Elizabeth knew well that Anthea had crossed Christina under her instigation–that was the reason Anthea was

blacklisted by Nathaniel…

If news of that were to be exposed, the people supporting Elizabeth would surely give up on her to curb the

impending damage they would suffer.

Anthea had the Campbell family to back her up, so she had a chance to get back on her feet, but it was not the

same for Elizabeth. She was able to enjoy her current status and glory because she had been capable and cunning

enough to attain them.

The entertainment industry was never short of beautiful and capable artists. If one wanted to continue building

their career in that industry, they would need people to back them up.

As Elizabeth held onto her swollen cheek, she hid the iciness in her eyes. By the time she lifted her head to look at

Anthea, she had a pitiful look on her face.

“Anthea, I’ve always thought of you as a good friend, so how can I possibly laugh at you and steal your

opportunities?” Elizabeth bit down on her pale lower lip. “I didn’t try to hide Christina and Nathaniel’s relationship

from you. I thought you already knew about it. Moreover, I heard that what Nathaniel and Christina have is an

unhappy contractual marriage and that they’ve been arguing over divorce recently.”

If Anthea had not been blacklisted, she would have no doubts about Elizabeth’s words.

However, reality had taught Anthea a terrible lesson.

She was fooled because of her dumb belief in her friendship with Elizabeth. In the end, she was punished for her

stupidity while Elizabeth, the mastermind, continued to bathe in glory.

Anthea, who was a proud soul, would never let Elizabeth go with the matter. As far as she was concerned, the latter

was born with a lower status than her.

Anthea mocked, “You seemed obsessed with Christina, Are you telling me these because you’re still trying to use

me to take revenge on Christina for you?”

The look in her eyes was a vicious one as she grabbed Elizabeth by her jaw with her right hand, almost- crushing it.

“You have so many blackmail–worthy materials about them, so why don’t you just expose them through the

media?” Anthea snarled. “It’s not that you don’t want to do it, but you’re afraid. You’re scared that Christina will find

out that you’re behind this and ruin your career. That’s why you’re looking for a scapegoat, and I’m the scapegoat

you’ve found!”

Elizabeth held her breath as a wave of shock crashed into her.

When did the naive Anthea become so smart? I can’t admit to that or Anthea will never let me off the hook.

Thus, Elizabeth quickly recomposed herself and pretended to play the fool. As she held Anthea’s hand that had

gripped her jaw, she said in a hoarse voice, “Anthea, did Christina tell you something? Don’t believe her words.

She’s trying to sow discord between us! She’s trying to provoke you so that you’ll break

1/2

off the contract and compensate her studio the huge penalty fee. The company has only temporarily put your work

on hold, but you can rise again with your fame. I have some connections, and I can introduce work to you. Once

this blows over, you can still take on roles in movies and endorsement offers.”

Anthea was disgusted by Elizabeth’s pretentiousness. She let go and Elizabeth fell to the ground like a sack of

potatoes.

“I don’t need a model who sells her body and looks to climb up the social ladder to help me out. I have my family,”

Anthea uttered in disdain. “Just you wait, Elizabeth. I won’t let you off this easily.” D

With that, she spun on her heel and left.

Elizabeth climbed to her feet. When she turned to look in the mirror, she saw how much of a mess she looked. The

red handprint was a sign of the humiliation she suffered, and she trembled in anger after seeing it.

Right then, a soft sound came from the walk–in closet at the side.

Elizabeth whipped her head over and glared at the spot.

The makeup assistant fell onto the pile of clothes, her face as pale as a sheet of paper. She stammered, “I didn’t

mean to eavesdrop, Ms. Bennett! I left something here. I… I heard nothing! I’m leaving now!”

The assistant looked miserable as remorse flooded her mind.

If she had known that she was going to hear such shocking secrets, she would have snuck out of the room when

Elizabeth started fighting with Anthea.

Elizabeth did not stop the assistant as the latter scurried off, but she glared at her retreating figure the entire time.

You bl*ody b*tch! I am going to make you pay for eavesdropping!

Meanwhile, Christina slept through that night.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a handsome face.

Nathaniel had returned to Scenic Garden Manor and had come to her side to watch her.

“You’re back.” Christina habitually moved closer to Nathaniel, the suit jacket draped on her sliding down. to her

waist. “You’re home much earlier than usual.”

Nathaniel placed his arms under her armpit and lifted her to a sitting position on his lap. As he positioned a hand by

her waist to prevent her from falling, he said, “I was done with work, so I wanted to come home as quickly as I can

to keep you company.”

The tint of displeasure in his eyes was palpable. “Christina, have you forgotten that I told you not to sleep in the

living room?”

Christina had been tired and sleepy at that time, and the couch was spacious and comfortable. She was used to

sleeping on it, so why would she move?

“I wanted to see you the second you got home.”

Nathaniel froze, and the irritation in his eyes dissipated. As he pulled her into his arms, he said the sweetest words

in the calmest tone, “If you want to sleep in the living room next time, you need to wear

2/3

more layers to keep yourself warm.”

Christina beamed and replied, “Okay.”

That was the end of that.

Feeling a little hungry. Christina got off Nathaniel, but she accidentally pressed the remote on the couch, and the

television switched on. In the next second, the voice of the news anchor reporting the blacklisting of Anthea

sounded out in the quiet living room.

Worried that she would fall, Nathaniel quickly held her back and said, “What are you trying to do?”

Christina touched the tip of her nose sheepishly and answered, “I’m hungry. I was thinking of getting something to

eat from the kitchen.”

Putting her aside, Nathaniel said, “I’ll get it for you. Don’t move around so much. You nearly fell earlier.”

At that, Christina sheepishly chuckled before waiting for Nathaniel to return with food.

Soon, he came back with some snacks and a glass of fresh juice. “Eat up. Have some desserts to stave off the

hunger.”

As Christina dug in, she stared at Anthea on the screen.

Anthea was getting surrounded by reporters, and in the end, she dashed into the minivan in haste with her

manager and assistant escorting her.

Despite that, Anthea could not leave. Fans came from all directions to swarm the minivan. As they smacked the

vehicle windows, they cursed and insulted her.

Fans of the two female celebrities were cursing at each other. It was a chaotic scene.

The ones who started the fight were Elizabeth’s fans, and they were using everything they had in hand to hit the

vehicle.

Christina was baffled and curious. “Aren’t Anthea and Elizabeth close? Why are their fans fighting?”
