I Am An Investor
Christina didn’t suffer any serious injuries, and her mental state recovered as well.
Nonetheless, Nathaniel still requested that she rest at home for two days before returning to work.
In order to accompany her, he had arranged all his company affairs to be taken care of at home.
As a stream of yellow light illuminated the study, Christina could be seen sitting next to Nathaniel,
taking up one–third of his desk.
Holding a tablet in her hand, she browsed through the news website, occasionally taking notes of
useful information she came across.
Just then, a light knock sounded on the door, and Madison walked in, holding some files. “These
documents contain the key points for the next meeting. I have organized them all.”
It was evident she was as competent as Sebastian in terms of efficiency. Coupled with the fact that she
had more experience, she was able to produce more thorough work.
As Nathaniel skimmed through the files, he simply gave a slight hum in responsé.
Madison’s gaze finally fell on Christina, and she noticed that the young woman was propping her chin
with both hands. Leaning slightly forward, the pendant on her neck had slipped out and was dangling in
the air.
With the help of the light, Madison could recognize that the pendant belonged to Nathaniel.
Even though she had only seen it a few times, she had heard that it was a pendant that Julia had
obtained from a temple to protect Nathaniel’s safety.
Nathaniel has always cherished the pendant, so why is Christina wearing it? Those people really are a
bunch of idiots. I can’t believe they can’t even handle a woman.
Tamping down the jealousy that was surging within her, Madison asked in concern, “Mrs. Hadley, I
heard you were in danger. Did you get hurt?”
Christina turned around, and with a distant look in her eyes, she replied softly, “I’m fine. Thanks for your
concern.”
“I’m glad to hear that.” Madison squeezed out a smile.
Although she had put on her most dazzling smile, Christina thought that it looked insincere.
Why is she suddenly asking about this?
Still propping up her chin, Christina’s gaze flashed with curiosity as she said, “You know, I think I heard
the kidnappers saying that there were two people who instructed them to do this, and they also said
that their backer is very influential.”
She narrowed her eyes and continued, “Ms. Taggart, you’re knowledgeable and a person of high
status, aren’t you? Would you know who would have the ability to order those kidnappers to abduct
me?”
Guilt swirled within Madison when she heard that. She didn’t expect the young woman, who looked to
be of average intelligence, to come up with so many thoughts.
Those incompetent fools… I can’t believe they let so much slip.
As various thoughts and emotions flooded her mind, she forced herself to keep her calm and replied,
“There are a lot of powerful and influential people in Jadeborough, so I can’t think of anyone who would
fit that description. Perhaps it’s someone who has a connection with Hadley Corporation. Or maybe
they just said that in the heat of the moment. In any case, I heard the people who did it have already
been severely punished. Besides, everyone in Jadeborough has heard about this incident, so I doubt
anyone will dare to harm you again in the future, Mrs. Hadley.”
Trying to stop Christina from delving into the matter further, she added, “Mrs. Hadley, you don’t have to
worry about your safety, and I think it’s better for you to stop dwelling on it.”
Stop dwelling on it?
Christina raised her brow, surprised that Madison could say something like that.
The outcome would have been different if I hadn’t been quick–witted at the time.

Christina had been deliberately probing Madison from the beginning, and the way the latter kept
shifting the focus of the conversation had undoubtedly raised her suspicion.
However, since she had no substantial evidence, and she didn’t want to tip Madison off yet, she could
only smile and say, “You’re right. Thank you for your input on this, Ms. Taggart.”
Relieved to see that Christina believed her words, Madison uttered, “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll
head back to the company first.”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Nathaniel gave a sidelong glance to the young woman beside him. “Are you really going to let the
matter go?”
He was aware that those people were intending to kill her.
Christina got to her feet, her doc–like eyes shining with a hint of slyness. “Of course not. I want
revenge, but I’m going to need your help.”
Nathaniel smirked and rubbed her head in response. In a tone thick with adoration, he said, “I’ll help
you in any way I can.”
Sitting in the dressing room doing her makeup, Emilia was cursing under her breath as she stared at
some heavily photoshopped pictures on her phone.
A single glance was enough to tell her that those pictures were spliced with Christina’s head.
Those b*stards lied to me! Not only did they take my money, but they didn’t even deliver what they
promised!
Just then, her phone rang.
-The moment she answered the call, she was greeted with angry cursing on the other end, “Didn’t you
say
you know people who could handle this matter properly? Well, those people you found were all beaten
up by Nathaniel’s men!”
Emilia exclaimed, “What? Are you saying that Christina was rescued?” Now it makes sense why those
thugs haven’t been replying to my messages since yesterday. And here I thought they simply took the
money and ran.
“With how stupid you are, I don’t think we should work together anymore. You’d better keep your mouth
shut. If you leak any information about me, I won’t let you off the hook.”
With that, the caller ended the call.
Infuriated, Emilia felt like she should not be the only person to blame for how things turned out. After
all, she was upset that the plan had failed as well.
She angrily deleted the number.
A moment later, her assistant knocked on the door before saying, “Emilia, it’s time for your audition.”
Emilia had received an invitation from the production team and came to audition for the role after
signing the contract. She thought that it was the perfect opportunity for her to rise to fame again.
Putting away her phone, she got up and left.
When she arrived at the audition room, she could see two directors sitting in the front. An assistant
handed her the script and said, “You can start in one minute.”
After taking a quick glance at the script, Emilia was stunned.
I have to play the role of a villainous second female lead who instructed some bad guys to kidnap the
female lead?
Without giving her much time to think, a minute soon passed.
The director called for her to start, leaving her with no choice but to cooperate and play the role as
written in the script.
As Emilia got into character, a vicious look soon spread across her face. “I want you guys to grab that
brat and teach her a lesson using the most brutal means. Don’t worry. She’s a nobody. Once the job’s
done, I’ll pay the remaining amount to you. Oh, make sure to tear her clothes and take pictures for me
as well!”
The fierce expression on her face was so intimidating that even the crew members present felt
frightened.
When Emilia was done saying her piece, a slender figure walked in through the door.
Clapping her hands, Christina commented with a tone full of mockery, “That is some stellar acting for a
performance that’s less than two minutes.”
“What are you doing here? Get out!” Emilia’s expression darkened, her face twisting with rage.
What the hell is Christina doing here? Did she overhear the words I said when I was reenacting the
phone call with the kidnappers?
Christina’s eyes were cold, and her delicate face was giving off a chilling aura as if she could see
through Emilia’s act.
“Director, I think Emilia did a great job for this role, so let’s give it to her,” she said.
Emilia’s expression turned grim when she heard that, and she growled, “Who the hell do are to be
ordering people around here? You need to leave immediately.”

The director stood up and explained, “Ms. Christina is an investor in this show and has the right to
decide who will play which role.”
“What? You’re an investor?” Emilia felt a chill run down her spine.
She then glared at Christina and snorted. “So what if you’re rich? I’m not going to act in this show
anymore!”
Christina sneered, “Didn’t you already sign the contract beforehand? It’s just that the role you are going
to play has not been determined yet. Well, now that it’s been decided, you’re going to have to pay for
breach of contract if you refuse to play the role.”
