A Crazy Night Novel

Lyle didn’t understand what Christina meant, so he asked, “Do you mean you want me to create rumors to cause Barnaby
trouble and let him expose the truth by himself?”
With a sinister expression, Christina declared, “No. My goal is the Stone family. Sheridan attempted to take Mr. Hadley’s life, so
I’ll destroy what they care about the most in return.” One commonality between Barnaby and Sheridan is that they’ll do anything
to make the Stone family a business empire. It was only after thoroughly analyzing the cruel truth from fifteen years ago that I
realize I’ve overlooked the most essential part from the very beginning. The Hadley family’s foundation is located in
Jadeborough, and Hallsbay was only one of the locations where Charlie developed his business. Meanwhile, the Gibson family’s
greatest competitor in Hallsbay isn’t solely the Hadley family. There’s also the Stone family, which is an equal match with the
Gibson family. If we can turn the Gibson family and the Stone family against each other, the Hadley family will be the ultimate
winner. As such, I began investigating the Stone family’s development fifteen years ago. I discovered that after my parent’s
accident, Nigel took over Gibson Corporation and handed that project over to someone else. On the surface, it would appear
Winston got lucky, but in reality, Barnaby was the one who took over that mess. It was because of that project the Stone family
acquired a hefty profit. After that, they began expanding into other industries, which eventually led to their glorious state.
When her train of thought ended there, Christina felt remorseful. If I had been more meticulous, perhaps I would’ve saved myself
a lot of trouble.
“I know what I should do now,” Lyle said. “Mrs. Lazuli’s funeral has been prepared, and Mr. Gibson has received the news. He
mentioned he’ll let you decide the date.”
Upon considering her next move, Christina informed, “Tomorrow, then. Mrs. Lazuli is Nigel’s mother. He shouldn’t be kept in the
dark about it. Relay what Yerek told the police to him. As for what he’ll think, that’s his matter to deal with.” If Nigel’s smart, he’ll
guess why and how Mrs. Lazuli passed away. It’ll be interesting to see Nigel and Yerek, father and son, turn against each other.
Christina added solemnly, “One more thing. I want you to locate Emilia’s whereabouts as soon as possible and regain the
evidence she stole from Winston. Those are important to me.”
“One way to accomplish that in the shortest amount of time is to start with Yerek. They’re working together, after all. If she’s on
the run, I bet she’s still in contact with Yerek,” suggested Lyle.
“I don’t care if Emilia’s dead or alive as long as the evidence is brought to me,” she commanded frigidly. Emilia’s purpose for
taking those evidence is obvious, which is to threaten me with them at the right time. I’m not afraid of that, but I’m worried that

the most useful evidence will be destroyed. If that happens, the efforts I’ve invested into this affair will be for naught. They’ve
been living too carefreely for too many years. It’s time for them to face the consequences of their wrongdoings!
After Lyle left, Christina returned to the bedroom to look after Nathaniel.
When she did, she saw Nathaniel sitting up, reaching for the glass of water on the bedside table. Hurriedly. she dashed toward
him and lent him a hand.
“You should’ve asked for help if you want to drink water What if you fall off the bed?” said Christina, worried.
With a hoarse voice, Nathaniel replied. “I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury. Besides, the fewer people who know about my wound,
the better
Sitting on the side of the bed, Christina spoke tearfully You almost lost your life! How could you say it’s a minor injury? Do you
know how worried I was about you?”
Nathaniel couldn’t be bothered to drink the water when he saw Christina’s tears. Panicking, he consoled her, “Don’t cry. Your
mood will affect the baby.”
Christina glared at him. “Then why did you make me worry?”
Nathaniel said earnestly, “I predicted something would happen today, but I didn’t expect they would be so bold as to attempt to
murder me.”
“Is that business really that important?” asked Christina softly.
He hugged her and replied. “I promise this will be the last time. I’m no longer alone now. I have a wife, children, and my very own
family. You and the kids are my most precious treasures.”
In reality, he didn’t need the money. His real aim was to teach Sheridan a lesson.
Sheridan was planning to rely on that firearm deal to rise again, which was something Nathaniel would not allow.
Nathaniel didn’t want Christina to be embroiled in that matter, so he had been hiding the truth from her.
Instead of beating around the bush, Christina cut to the chase. “Sheridan’s behind this. What are you planning to do? I’ve
already asked Lyle to spread the word about Barnaby’s involvement in my parent’s accident. Tomorrow is Mrs. Lazuli’s funeral,
so the members of the Stone family will definitely be there. I won’t let them leave without a hitch. If Barnaby doesn’t attend the

funeral, his reputation will be questioned, and the Stone family may suffer as well. Hence, there’s no doubt he’ll come when his
family’s already in hot water. Moreover, I insisted on having the funeral held tomorrow, not because I’m worried things would
worsen if it’s dragged out, but because tomorrow is Nigel’s final hearing.
Furrowing his brows, Nathaniel asked. “You’re going to deal with Barnaby?”
Christina sneered, “Oh, it won’t be me.”
Then, she whispered something to him, prompting him to smile affectionately. “I won’t stop you, but you must ensure your safety.
Bring Lyle with you tomorrow. I’ll arrange for a few skilled bodyguards to accompany you as well. You aren’t allowed to object to
this.”
She nodded. “I promise.”
The next morning, it was raining cats and dogs.
Despite that Azure’s funeral proceeded as planned
After Christina spread the word about Azure’s death to Halladay, the Gibson branch families rushed over to attend the funeral
The cries of the Gibson family’s relatives could be heard during the wake, Ironically, none of Azure’s affluent friends annded the
funeral. After all, she was as rich anymore after the decision of the Gibson family’s assets
Serrated by all the crying. Christina stood at the entrance to get some fresh air
Moments later. Timahy speached her in wheekha “Who walling for Christina?” There’s s
“He was the first to ditch my mother after what happened to her. There’s no way he’ll come,” said Timothy, snickering. Just
because Timothy lived in relative seclusion didn’t mean he wasn’t aware of the happenings in the outside world.
At that moment, a black car arrived at the entrance. Barnaby descended from the vehicle, grabbed a black umbrella from the
driver, and trudged toward the two,
The edges of Christina’s lips curved upward mockingly. “Look. It’s Barnaby.”
