Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 743 Falling Out

As soon as those words fell, a terrified Azure tugged on Barnaby’s sleeve with a pleading look in her “Don’t agree to it,” she begged.

“No!” Azure blurted as the crowd’s eyes fell on her. “Having your children apologize to me isn’t going to completely undo all the bad reputation I’m getting. Don’t you think you’re being very unfair by making such a request?”

At that instant, Barnaby wished he could shove something into Azure’s mouth to shut her up. “Hmph! Why would we fear being incriminated if we’ve done nothing wrong? There’s no point in Azure meddling with something so trivial. I believe the Hadleys still have some credibility.”

Azure had a pained expression on her face as she heard that. Barnaby had taken matters into his own hands out of fear that she would cause more trouble.

“The investigation will take some time. I have other matters to deal with, so I’ll be taking my leave now. Please have someone update me when the results are out, Mrs. Hadley,” the elderly man requested. “She’ll come with me since there hasn’t been any solid evidence yet.”

He was already respecting Christina and the Hadley family enough.

“If you’re taking her with you, I hope you’ll at least keep to your word,” Nathaniel remarked.

Barnaby scoffed. “Worry not, Mr. Hadley. You’ll get everything as promised.”

With that, the unpleasant interlude came to an end.

“It’s all my fault,” Charlie lamented, blaming himself. “They wouldn’t have come looking for trouble with you if I hadn’t spent so long outside on my phone. Thank goodness Lucas and Camila saw through Azure’s schemes beforehand. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened otherwise.”
