She was suddenly reminded of her promise to Nathaniel and did not take a step forward. She quickly averted her gaze after meeting eyes with Francis’ darkened ones.

“No, thanks. You should leave.” With that, she strode off.

At that moment, the rain got heavier, so Francis could only make out Christina’s blurry figure as she walked away.

His eyes darkened as he stared at her retreating figure and felt a tinge of jealousy. What a stubborn

teoman.

It was raining cats and dogs, and barely any cars were on the road. The scene looked depressing coupled with Christina’s lonely figure.

Other cars did not even notice her as they drove past her.

Christina felt as though she had been submerged in ice-cold water. All of a sudden, she felt a strong tug on her arm. She jumped in shock and turned to look at the person grabbing her.

It turned out that Francis had run out of his car.

He stood tall before her as he said, “Get in the car with me.”

“Are you crazy? I told you I won’t get on! Hurry up and leave!” Christina scoffed in annoyance and tried to struggle out of his tight grip.

Francis’ hold on her was firm as he forcefully dragged her toward the car. “Christina, if you keep on struggling. I’ll pick you up and carry you into the car. I’m sure you know what I’m capable of.”

His warning proved effective as Christina sighed and stopped her struggle.

The two of them got onto the car. Francis took out a dry towel from a compartment and placed it on her head. “Wipe yourself dry.”

Christina looked like a drenched kitten. Her hair was lat and matted to her face, and her eyelashes had tiny beads of rain resting on them. Her nose was tinted red from the cold, and she looked as pale as a ghost.

She looked pitiful yet attractive. With one glance, no one would have the heart to hurt her.

Francis took out another towel to wipe his hair. The driver blasted the heater, allowing warm air to flow throughout the car.

Christina sneezed a few times, which seemed like the symptoms of one catching a cold.

She used the towel to cover herself, her face reddening in embarrassment. Her clothes were wet and clung to her body. She could imagine how indecent she looked at the moment.

Francis took out some clothes from a different compartment and picked a thick coat to place on her shoulders. “Keep yourself warm. You’ll be having a hard time if you fall sick.”

Christina bit her lip and kept silent as she tugged the coat tighter around herself. “I’ll return it to you after cleaning it.”

“No need. Nathaniel will get angry if he finds out about this.” Francis scoffed. The place Nathaniel had

hit him a few days ago was still sore.

Christina felt her heart skip a beat, but she did not reply.

She felt like everything was a mess, unable to wrap her head around the plagiarism issue.

“Did you get into trouble? Is it something I can help you with?” Francis asked in concern. He knew Christina was not that dumb to walk around in the rain without an umbrella.

“No. Thank you for the kind offer.” Christina looked out the window at the roads and noticed that Radiant Corporation was a turn away. “You can drop the off here.”

Francis noticed that she was unwilling to tell him anything. Hence, he did not pursue it further and asked the driver to stop the car.

Before she got off the car, he reminded her, “Remember to drink something hot to warm yourself.”

It was hard for Christina to rebuke him seeing that he was concerned. She hummed a reply and hurried down the car.

Christina got drenched again when she returned to the office.

She borrowed some cash from Gina and changed into a new set of clothes before taking a taxi back to Scenic Garden Manor.

She placed the coat she borrowed from Francis into the washer before retreating to her room and sinking deep into her thoughts. She was exhausted from trying to find a solution. Feeling drowsiness take over her, she eventually drifted off to sleep.

That night, Nathaniel was reading through some documents in the office when he received a call from Gina.

Although Gina believed Christina did not copy someone else’s work, the current situation was not in Christina’s favor. Hence, Gina felt the need to explain everything to Nathaniel.

They talked for quite some time before ending the call. Nathaniel’s expression turned grim.

He checked his phone to see if Christina had sent him any messages, but there were none.

He immediately asked Sebastian to investigate the matter. Half an hour later, he was notified about the incident with Christina at Eugene’s studio earlier in the day.

“Make an appointment with Eugene Zeller. I want to meet with him.”

“Yes, Mr. Hadley.”

Sebastian turned and left Nathaniel’s office. He brought several bodyguards from the company with him and went to Eugene’s studio.

At that moment, Eugene was oblivious that he had stepped on someone’s toes. Hence, he was elated when he heard that the CEO of Hadley Corporation wanted to meet him.

Could it be that Mr. Hadley knows of my talent and wants me to customize a suit for him? If that’s the case, then I’d have struck gold! After all, everyone knows that any suit of Mr. Hadley’s is worth millions!

He dared not even imagine how much profit he would earn just by accepting a customization order from Nathaniel.

When they arrived at the office, Sebastian shot a look at Eugene before pushing him into Nathaniel’s office. The cold air from the air conditioning intensified the domineering aura that Nathaniel exuded.

All the happy imaginations that Eugene had immediately disappeared from his mind. One look at Nathaniel, and he knew that the latter did not call him to the office to customize a suit. It looked more like Nathaniel had got him there for a confrontation,

“Mr. Hadley, may I know… what I can help you with?
