A Crazy Night

Chapter 498 Make A Move

Christina, who was locked up in the room, had collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

In her daze, she thought she heard the children’s voices, so she opened the window to see two tiny figures running in the corridor.

Christina was startled, and she hastily shouted at the two tiny people, “Lucas, Camila, I’m here!”

Upon hearing their mother’s voice, the children excitedly waved their hands at her. “Mommy, we’ve come for you!”

Immediately, the children rushed toward Christina’s room.

Just as they did that. Anya and the housekeepers ran after them.

Christina could no longer remain calm by then, for she knew that if the children were taken away, she would not be able to find them again.

After surveying the room, she soon found a chair. Without hesitation, she picked it up and swung it at the lock on the door. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

With a resounding clang, the lock was evidently loosened. Christina swung the chair at it once more before it finally gave way and fell off.

Christina narrowed her eyes and tossed the chair away. With a rough kick on the lock, the door unlocked.

Right as she opened the door, the children lunged over and threw themselves into her arms, bawling. “Mommy, I’m so scared! She’s a bad person! Slic locked us both up!”

Camila was sniffling and crying as she spoke, tears filling her eyes.

As Christina held them tightly, she softly consoled, “Don’t be scared, Camila. I’ll take you two away from this place.”

The trio hugged each other tightly. Just as they were about to leave, Anya and the housekeepers rushed upstairs. A few of the housekeepers were even standing at the staircase, blocking their way.

A wicked grin spread across Anya’s face when her gaze fell upon the three frantic figures. “Grandma said. you have to stay here until the plan is completed.”

Her expression turned sinister and smug. She regarded them with a gaze akin to a butcher eyeing helpless sheep as if she held the power to do anything to them.

Christina took several steps back with the children in her arms. Gently guiding them into an empty room, she reassured them, “Be good. Once I’m done settling this, I’ll take you two away from this place.”

Lucas and Camila could only helplessly look at their mother before nodding slowly. “Be careful, Mommy.”

“All right. Don’t come out, okay? I’ll be done with this soon.” While saying that, Christina closed the door

behind her.

Her gaze locked onto Anya’s arrogant expression, and with determination in her voice, she demanded,

“Step aside on your accord. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy”

lemess flickered in Christina’s eyes as her delicate lace tensed up.

Nevertheless, Anya did not heed the woman’s warning and instead let out a mocking Laugh “And let you go? Dream on! You’d better get back in that mom obediently. Perhaps Grandma might show you three a sliver of mercy once this is over and allow you

room

The only thought consuming Christina’s mind was the desperate need to escape with her children from that place. “This has nothing to do with us, yet you’re using me and my children as your bargaining chips. You’ve truly let me down.”

Christina had the Gibsons’ best interest at heart, only to be used as a mere instrument for their revenge If that was how things were going to be, they would no longer hold any significance in her life.

A solemn determination shone in Christina’s eyes as she spoke with a firm tone. “Consider this your final chance, Anya.”

“I don’t care for your chances.” Anya responded defiantly. With her gaining the upper hand, she had no intention of allowing Christina to escape.

Furrowing her brows, she then turned to instruct the housekeepers, “Take her back into the room. If she puts up a fight, don’t hesitate to use physical force. I’ll take full responsibility for any injuries and report the incident to Grandma.”

What a cruel woman. I can’t believe she’s even going to hurt me!

Christina narrowed her eyes, then tightened her fists in anger. Winning against the numerous people in front of her would prove to be a challenge with her current strength.

Determined, Christina knew that she had to make every punch count. She had to take down the housekeepers with a single punch, for it was her only path to victory in this confrontation.

Right then, one of the housekeepers approached Christina with hostility in her eyes. It was evident that the housekeeper did not regard Christina as the eldest daughter of the Gibson family.

Just as the female housekeeper reached out to grab Christina’s shirt, Christina seized the opportunity to grab the woman’s outstretched wrist. In a swift and decisive move, she pushed her opponent forward and used the momentum to land a powerful punch.

Overwhelmed by the impact, the woman let out an anguished cry before falling to the ground.

Another housekeeper took a few hurried steps forward in an attempt to aid her fallen colleague. However, she had taken no more than a couple of steps when Christina swiftly stepped on her knee. With a loud thump, she collapsed to the ground, now kneeling before Christina.

A wave of fear washed over the remaining housekeepers as they witnessed the scene unfolding before their eyes. They had all underestimated her, assuming she was a small and delicate woman who posed no threat to the group of them.

However, now it seemed like they had made the wrong assumptions.

When Anya noticed how nervous and hesitant the housekeepers were, she grew alarmed, her voice trembling with a mix of panic and frustration as she urged, “Why are you just standing there? Move!

Attack her together! Why are you all so afraid of one woman when there are so many of you?”

Left without a choice, the other housekeepers were forced to dash over, and sure enough, Christina could not fend off all of them by herself.

In no time, a few of the women had restrained her arms and legs, rendering Christina unable to budge.

At that, Anya could not resist cackling in delight, her laughter echoing throughout the room. “You can’t escape, Christina. Say, what do you think about this idea? We’ll use you as leverage to force Nathaniel into giving our family more shares. I’m sure he’ll comply willingly. After all, those shares probably mean nothing to him since he was willing to put his life on the line to look for you in the mountains.”

Christina was heaving, and her lashes were quivering from rage.

How dare they control me and use me as a bargaining chip to threaten Nathaniel! The humiliation was making her spiral into an emotional breakdown.

In the next second, Christina whipped her head to the side and sank her teeth fiercely into one of the hands that were holding her down.

The owner of the hand-one of the housekeepers-was not expecting the attack. In her pain, she let go of Christina, who then took the opportunity to punch another housekeeper.

The ladies had never encountered a scene like this before. Christina was like a demon who had emerged from the fiery depths of hell, spreading misfortune to anyone who dared to approach her.

Once Christina broke free of her restraints, she advanced toward Anya, looking as if she intended to tear the woman apart from limb to limb.

Anya was forced to step back. She attempted to use one of the housekeepers behind her as a shield to impede Christina’s progress, but Christina effortlessly shoved the other woman aside.

With no one left standing between them, Christina grabbed Anya’s collar and rammed her toward the wall.

Bang! came the loud sound that reverberated in the building.

A sharp, scaring pain reverberated through Anya’s head, causing her to lose all sense of direction in an

instant.

“Ow! It hurts! Let go of me!”

Christina’s eyes flickered with rage, but Anya was not one to go down so easily. The two women engaged in a fierce battle, tugging at each other’s hair and shirts until the sound of someone tumbling down the stairs captured everyone’s attention.
