Chapter 590 Revealing The Truth
Christina was flabbergasted.
It made more sense for one to attempt to conceal their misdeeds instead of exposing them for all the
world to see.
Nathaniel must have sensed her confusion as he continued, “Nigel possesses shares within
Raveworks Enterprise and is its largest stakeholder. Now that Gibson Corporation has fallen into a
financial crisis, he embezzled a sizable amount of Raveworks Enterprise’s funds to salvage the
situation. He even contacted buyers interested in Raveworks Enterprise behind Winston’s back.”
Winston built Raveworks Enterprise five years ago when it was still a small factory from the ground up
to the powerhouse it was today. Five years later, Nigel now had authority over Gibson Corporation.
After becoming its stakeholder under the guise of collaboration, he began eroding Winston’s efforts and
even tricked him into signing a contract to give up his position in the company.
The damage Nigel wrecked in Gibson Corporation began showing itself during the company’s decline.
It wasn’t until late that Winston discovered the company’s accounts did not tally. He realized then that
Nigel had been planning to sell off Raveworks Enterprise after assigning someone to shadow him.
Winston pulled an all-nighter to investigate the company’s accounts. Finally, it dawned upon him that
he’d been set up since Nigel approached him to collaborate for the first time.
I will drag him down to hell with me!
Winston initiated contact with Nathaniel to feel him out cautiously and picked the time when Nigel hit
rock bottom to expose part of his crimes.
Nathaniel went along with the situation and created opportunities for Winston to get close to him.
“Winston plans on using someone else to do his dirty work, then claim the credit for himself?” Christina
was amused.
“It’s more like he and Nigel are adamant about destroying one another. After all, they are in the same
boat. If one sinks, the other will surely follow. Anya’s kidnapping is a complicated matter. Don’t involve
yourself in it no matter what the Gibson family members say, understood?”
Christina made a sound of agreement and asked curiously, “Nathaniel, does Anya’s kidnapping have
anything to do with you?”
Nathaniel chuckled. “Do you think I’d engage in such meaningless activities?”
Christina was instantly silenced. She apologized sincerely. “I’m sorry.”
“I’m not mad at all,” Nathaniel gently assured her. “When will you be heading to the hospital? I’ll ask
Sebastian to drive you there. I don’t trust others to take good care of you.”
Christina raised her head to check the time. She had almost forgotten about her plans to visit the
hospital. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’ll let Raymond arrange a driver to drop me off. Sebastian’s your assistant. It wouldn’t do for him to
leave your side with how much work you need to get done. Besides, it must be tiring for him to travel
back and forth. Victoria would not let this slide if she knew of this.”
“All right, then. Send me a text message once you’ve arrived at the hospital.”
“Okay,”
Raymond was carrying two thermal flasks into the living room when Christina hung up the call. “Mrs.
Hadley, are you going to the hospital now? Your soup is ready.”
Christina nodded. “Please ask the driver to get ready.”
Raymond departed with the two thermal flasks. “Just a moment.”
Christina entered Bailey’s ward with two thermal flasks half an hour later.
Since no one was inside, she opened the door to the adjacent ward and saw Bailey and Sharon
engaged in a lively conversation.
“Christina, you’re here.” Sharon’s eyes lit up at the sight of Christina. “Come on over here and let me
have a good look at you. You seemed to have lost a lot of weight.”
Christina brought the thermal flasks and placed them on the side table beside the bed. Sharon gripped
her hands and rubbed them before eyeing the slight bump in her belly. “I was right.”
Christina had no idea how to respond to Sharon. “Contrary to your observation, Ive gained weight
instead. Take good care of yourself. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Bailey scooted over and said, “Ms. Zapler, I swear upon my good name that Mr. Hadley is spoiling her.
They’re pretty much inseparable. He would have carried her in his pocket if he could. That is how
protective he is,”
Christina cast Bailey a glance. Her relaxed stance made it seem as if last night was a dream, and in
reality, the vivacious version of her was the one she was most familiar with.
Bailey lifted the thermal flask to her nose and sniffed its contents. “Christina, what did you bring for Ms.
Zapler and me? It smells great.”
“It’s a nutritious soup prepared by my chef. Drink it while it’s still hot.” Christina reached for the second
flask and was about to open it when Sharon interrupted her.
“You shouldn’t overexert yourself now that you’re pregnant. Here, sit down and rest. I’ll do it myself.”
Sharon took the flask from Christina and scooped out some soup for her. “You should have some as
well.”
Christina shook her head. “I’ve already eaten at home. Besides, I had this soup prepared specially for
both of you. I can’t simply drink this.”
Bailey’s eyes gleamed with hunger as she was drawn to the aroma of the soup. “Ms. Zapler, can I try if
Christina won’t have it?”
“Go ahead. I can’t finish it myself.” Sharon handed the thermal flask to Bailey.
Bailey took hold of it and poured the soup into a bowl. She then curled up on the couch in the corner as
she happily slurp up her meal.
Sharon only took several sips as she did not have much of an appetite.
“I heard that Emilia was arrested by the police. Has she been released now?” Sharon had just regained
consciousness and learned about recent happenings from Bailey.
“She has.” Christina gazed at Sharon with a complicated look on her face. “But Miranda died in the
fire.”
Sharon’s jaw dropped as she struggled to find words. “Does her death have something to do with me?”
Christina saw through her at once and held her hands comfortingly. “Mom, her death has no relation to
you and is caused by something else. You need not feel an ounce of guilt for someone who intended to
harm you.”
Sharon asked urgently, “How did the fire happen?”
Christina answered vaguely, “I’m not so sure myself. The police are still investigating the matter.”
She had no plans of revealing the truth behind Miranda’s death to Sharon.
Sharon was an innocent person who ended up suffering because of Christina.
Sharon lowered her eyes. “She came to me that day to get money to bail Emilia and came across me
talking to Gideon. She began making a scene. I don’t think she meant to push me because she did
help me call an ambulance. Her circumstances must have forced her to take such drastic actions, so
she isn’t rotten
inside.
Sharon empathized with Miranda as she’d been in her shoes.
Christina was about to speak when she caught sight of a figure at the doorway from the corner of her
eye. She briefly comforted Sharon and came up with an excuse to leave the ward.
“What are you doing here?”
