Chapter 492 Things Are Getting Interesting
Anya paused in her tracks, her face as black as thunder. “How dare you little bastards tell on me!”
She would have taught the two kids a lesson if Azure weren’t present.
Lucas and Camila squirmed into Azure’s arms and sobbed piteously, “Great-Granny, save us!”
Azure protected the two young kids and chastised, “Anya, you shouldn’t be so hard on them. They’re just kids. You’re so much older than them.”
“Grandma!” Anya was so apoplectic that she could almost feel steam coming out of her ears.
Her room was in such a terrible mess that it had practically become a huge garbage dump.
“Grandma, Christina was the one who told them to mess up my room. How could you still take their side?”
Seeing red, she felt like she was on the verge of a cardiac arrest.
Lucas made a face at her and harrumphed, “We wouldn’t have messed up your room if you purposely tripped my mommy. You’re the bad guy here. I was merely avenging her.”
hadn’t
“Great-Granny, she intentionally tripped Mommy and almost caused me to fall too. She’s evil, so you to chase her out!” Camila complained with a pout.
have
Azure frowned upon hearing that. “Anya, you’ve gone overboard. How could you hurt others for fun?” Anya’s face turned pale as she was rendered speechless from fury. In an instant, she went from being the victim to being the perpetrator.
Azure sighed lightly and carried both children downstairs. “Don’t be afraid. Great-Granny is here. I will protect you. I prepared some delicious desserts for you. Let’s have some, shall we?”
Lucas and Camila nodded cheerfully with their hands wrapped around Azure’s neck. “Sure! Let’s go and finish all the snacks! We won’t be leaving any for that nasty woman.”
Anya glared at the two rascals and gritted her teeth.
I shall see how long that arrogance can last.
Christina brought her two children back to the hotel after dinner.
Nathaniel had been working alone in the hotel for the entire day.
Lucas and Camila were deadbeat after such a long day and fell asleep promptly after Christina gave them a bath.
Christina emerged from the bathroom with her waist-long dark hair hanging loose. Her fair skin, which was scrubbed clean under the warm shower, glowed with a pearlescent sheen under the hotel’s light.
“Are you not done yet?” She approached Nathaniel after drying her hair.
Nathaniel put down his pen and pulled her into his arms. “Just in time.”
“Did you take good care of the flash drive I pa*sed to you?” Christina voiced her concern.

Nathaniel inclined his head. “Of course. Do you need it now?”
Christina shook her head. The flash drive will be safer with him compared to me.
“This is a good chance for us to gain leverage over Anya. Once we expose all of her crimes tomorrow, I’ll have had my revenge!” she uttered seriously.
“I can’t wait to see everything unfold tomorrow.”
The following day, the morning sunlight crept into the room through the curtains.
Christina got ready to head to the company after having breakfast with her two children.
She entrusted the kids to her reliable bodyguard before leaving. “You may send them to my grandmother’s house. I’ve already informed her of your arrival, so she’ll be waiting by the gate.”
Lucas and Camila lifted their heads and looked at their mother, asking curiously, “Mommy, aren’t you coming with us?”
“I have some important matters to deal with. I’ll pick both of you up once I’m done.” Christina ruffled their hair affectionately.
She took the flash drive from Nathaniel after the children departed with the bodyguard.
“Are you sure you don’t need me to go with you?” Nathaniel was rather worried.
“Yes. I’ll be fine with your most trusted bodyguards by my side. Don’t worry.” Christina straightened his tie. Her eyes shone with determination and gentleness.
Nathaniel wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead. “Get this over with quickly so we can have lunch together. It’ll be just the two of us without the kids. I want to spend some quality time with you.”
Sensing the warmth from Nathaniel’s lips on her forehead, Christina smiled blissfully. “Okay.”
She then turned toward the elevator with several bodyguards following behind her.
One of them sat in the pa*senger seat of her car while the others got into two other cars.
The journey to Gibson Corporation was rather smooth and peaceful.
Christina observed how nervous and vigilant the bodyguards were and wondered whether Nathaniel had overreacted by insisting on having so many bodyguards escort her.
The car came to a stop at the traffic light.
Gibson Corporation was only one street away.
Suddenly, a sedan abruptly drove toward them against the flow of traffic. Subsequently, several motorcyclists emerged out of the blue and surrounded Christina’s car.
The bodyguards tensed up and began communicating through their walkie-talkies.
“Be on alert. There’s imminent danger. Protect Mrs. Hadley.”

Christina subconsciously gripped her seatbelt tightly and felt her heart rate increase significantly.
Just then, one of the motorcyclists used a metal chain to smash the car window.
Hairline cracks formed on the window following an car-splitting bang.
Sensing danger, Christina yelped in terror. “Get us out of here! Drive!”
The driver ignored the red lights and stepped hard on the accelerator, causing the car to jerk forward at top speed.
The motorcyclists were hot on their trails. The bodyguards in the other two cars attempted to throw them off by stopping their cars horizontally in the middle of the street, blocking their way.
Several of the motorcyclists got down and began brawling with the bodyguards.
Only then did it occur to Christina how dire the situation was.
Anya is out of her mind. I can’t believe she went to such extreme lengths just to stop me.
Their car lost control without forewarning and began swerving on the road.
“What’s going on?” asked the bodyguard urgently.
“The ground is too slippery. I’ve lost control of the car,” Cold sweat dotted the driver’s forehead as he grappled with the steering wheel.
Christina felt dizzy as the car skidded around uncontrollably.
Under the scorching sun, the black Maybach collided head-on with a stone pillar in front of it.
The loud noise from the crash attracted the attention of pa*sers-by, who observed as roiling steam rose from the damaged car.
Some onlookers immediately called for the ambulance and the police.
None of them stepped forward to offer a*sistance as they had no clue what had transpired.
Meanwhile, in the car, Christina’s head was spinning as she felt blood trickle down the side of her face. Her whole head hurt so badly that she couldn’t tell how many injuries she sustained.
She unfastened her seatbelt after taking some time to recover.
The bodyguard exited the car first and opened the door to help her out.
“Are you all right, Mrs. Hadley?”
“I’m fine. What time is it? We have to get to the company.”
Christina was dizzy and disoriented. All she could think about was getting to Gibson Corporation.
However, her feet gave way after she barely took a few steps forward.
In the meantime, Anya was on the phone at Gibson Corporation.
iled the road just as you instructed, causing Christina’s car to flip over. Although she
managed to get out of the car, she blacked out shortly after that. Her current condition remains unknown.”
