Chapter 262

When Christina opened her eyes and took in her surroundings, she felt a wave of confusion.

She was in a warehouse, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything clearly.

Just then, she heard voices outside.

Christina stayed still, not making any sudden moves, as she was tied up.

"Are you sure about this?"

"I don't have a choice. You know our situation."

"Bro, we gotta do this. If we don't, the consequences will be unimaginable, and we're out of options."

"Yeah, maybe before we could ignore it."

"But now, things are different."

Parker and Grace hadn't thought much about it initially. They didn't expect Christina to actually investigate that matter.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We'll deal with the rest later."

Parker hung up the phone, opened the door, and walked in. Seeing Christina tied to a chair, he sneered.

Christina was surprised to see Parker.

"I didn't expect it to be you."

"I thought we didn't have such deep grudges. This seems unnecessary."

Parker was furious.

"Why do you think we don't have grudges? Even if we ignore the past, haven't you hurt me enough now?"

"And what are you trying to investigate?"

Christina caught the questions in Parker's words and smiled.

"What I'm investigating isn't hard to figure out, is it?"

"I told you before, I just want to find out the truth about my mom's death."

"But it seems you don't want me to. Regardless, you have no way out now, and things are different from before."

Parker sneered.

"Who says I have no way out?"

"As long as you don't make it back alive, none of this matters."

Christina was taken aback.

She didn't expect Parker to think this way.

"I just believe that people should face the consequences of their actions. If Mira did something wrong, she should be punished, not like this."

Parker dismissed her words and kicked her over.

"Who are you to talk about my mom like that?"

"And who says people must pay for their mistakes? I don't remember that being a rule, so stop talking nonsense."

Christina was shocked. She knew Parker's thinking was twisted, but not to this extent.

"I'm just trying to warn you not to go down the wrong path. If you insist, I can't predict what will happen next."

Parker ignored her.

"I think you forgot what I just said. No matter what, things are already like this, and the rest should be simple."

His expression was calm, and Christina sighed.

"Alright, let me go, and we can discuss this."

Christina saw the stubbornness in Parker's eyes.

She felt that if they didn't clear things up now, things would get complicated.

Parker sneered.

"You think I'm an idiot?"

"Let you go? Just like that?"

"I want to know how you found out about this."

Christina was about to retort, but Parker interrupted.

"Never mind, I don't care how you found out. I just want to shut you up."

Seeing Parker's crazed look, Christina instinctively tried to move back.

But tied to the chair, she couldn't move an inch.

"Don't bother running. There's no one else here but me."

"I thought there was no need to do anything to you, given our awkward relationship."

"But you did something you shouldn't have, and you need to pay the price, even if you don't realize it."

Christina smiled.

"If you say so, there's nothing I can do."

"I just want to tell you, some things come with a price. What your mom did and what you did can't be lumped together."

Christina knew that anything she said would anger him.

So she didn't bother holding back.

"Do you think your mom shouldn't be hurt, but my mom can?"

"My mom could have lived longer, but now she's gone because of you."

"Don't you have any responsibility?"

Although Christina didn't understand or agree with what her mother did, Elisa was still her mother.

No matter how much she resented her, she couldn't hold a grudge forever.

And Elisa could have lived longer if not for these people.

"I don't know what you're talking about. My mom is innocent, and you won't get anything out of me."

"Even if you know, so what?"

"Christina, I was willing to let you go. I thought we didn't need to be enemies."

"But now, if you don't want to live, don't blame me. Right?"

Parker finished, looking stubborn.

Christina had a bad feeling.

Although she was prepared, things seemed off.

"What are you going to do to me?" Christina instinctively tried to move back but couldn't.

"Nothing, just making sure you never come back. Your mom is dead anyway."

"If you care so much about her death, why not join her?"

Christina wanted to speak, but her mouth was gagged, and her eyes were blindfolded.

Tied to the chair, she couldn't move, no matter how hard she tried.

"Stop struggling."

"No matter how much you struggle, you won't get free. I've made sure of that."

"You want to leave here, but I'm afraid I can't let you."

"Where do you think this boat will go? And what will happen when it gets there?"

Parker's expression was slightly crazed.

Just hearing his tone made Christina frown deeply.

"Fine, since you're about to die, I'll give you a chance to speak."
