Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 622 Weaknesses

Christina fixed Yerek with a burning gaze, a hint of a sneer on her lips. “Based on the current market conditions,

your shares aren’t worth thirty million. I don’t necessarily have to take them back, but I can tell you frankly that no

one will want Gibson Corporation’s shares except me.”

Nearly two-thirds of the Gibson Corporation’s board of directors had relinquished their shares and divested, and she

had acquired their shares from them at a low price. Although the rest had adopted a wait-and-see approach, they

were the type to be easily swayed. Hence, she did not have to worry too much about dealing with them.

However, Yerek held the most shares. Hence, she would not give up voluntarily unless there was absolutely no

other choice.

“Twenty million, then. You’ve just taken over the company, so I’m sure you don’t want to be caught in a scandal,”

said Yerek, forced to lower his demand. “Once I get the twenty million, I promise that neither my dad nor I will

cause trouble for you again.”

She rose to her feet and looked down at him frostily. “If it’s money that you want, you’ll have to talk to my lawyer.

Yerek, I don’t think you’ve considered the question properly. I don’t mind letting you ponder it carefully in a different

location.”

“You’ve no right to send us to prison!” xo.com fast update

“That’s your opinion, and it has nothing to do with me. It’s not like I didn’t give you a choice. You’re just too greedy.”

With that, she turned and left.

Yerek glared at her viciously, then kicked over the tables and chairs beside him. The loud crash sent the shop

assistant hurrying over to check on the situation.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “My apologies. I’ll pay the full compensation. Please give me a list of the items and

how much they’ll cost.

The shop assistant heaved a sigh of relief, then turned and went looking for the shop manager.

After leaving the café, Christina asked Sebastian in a low voice, “How are things between Nigel and Winston?”

“We’ve done as you instructed and leaked the news. Right after Nigel caught wind of it, he rushed to Jadeborough

to ask Winston for an explanation. They must’ve met up already, but we’ll need to wait for our people there to get

back to us on what exactly happened,” he answered.

“Hand over the evidence on Nigel’s financial crimes to the police. Pick some of the minor ones first to give them a

hint,” she instructed in a low voice.

“Understood.”

After entering the elevator, she suddenly thought of Anya and her so-called aunt. She chuckled coldly. “Oh, right.

Back then, Nigel conspired with outsiders to plot against my parents. His wife must know quite

a lot of inside information. Think of a way to make her come and beg me on her own accord.”

“Leave it to me, Mrs. Hadley, I know what to do.”

Christina nodded in satisfaction, then exited the elevator.

Meanwhile, Nigel had been waiting in his car for several hours outside the condominium where Winston had

suddenly purchased a unit. Not only has Winston been ignoring my calls and messages, but he has even blocked me

from contacting him. That’s a sure sign of guilt.

Suddenly, a BMW slowly drove past his car and pulled into a nearby parking space.

Then, Winston got out of the vehicle with his arm around a beautiful woman. The two were glued together at the

mouth, making out without a care about where they were.

How delightful. While I’m in dire straits in Hallsbay, he’s thriving in Jadeborough. Had I not taken him under my wing

back then, he might not be where he is today! Nigel’s face was as black as thunder as he opened the car door and

climbed out. Grabbing a golf club from the backseat, he brandished it while rushing toward Winston and slammed it

onto the back of the latter’s head.

“Ahhhh!” Blood splattered all over the woman’s face. She looked utterly terrified, her knees went weak, and she

slumped onto the floor in a limp heap.

As for Winston, he had collapsed onto the snow. Glaring straight at his assailant while holding one hand up to the

gash on the back of his head, he yelled furiously, “Nigel Gibson, are you trying to kill me?”

Nigel swung the golf club at Winston, continuing to beat up the latter while he was down. “I thought of you as a

brother, yet you stabbed me in the back! There I was, wondering why Timothy was suddenly investigating my

identity. It turns out it was because of you! Now, I’ve lost my right to the Gibson family inheritance. On top of that,

you sold Raveworks Enterprise’s assets to your company and gobbled up my share of the money. Be thankful that

you’re still of use to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from killing you!”

His eyes were bloodshot, looking determined to seek vengeance. Not only did he show no sign of slowing his

movements, he now radiated a murderous aura.

Scared out of her wits, the woman scrambled to her feet and fled, leaving Winston behind.

Nigel smirked and said, “Will you look at that? Even the woman you love the most has abandoned you, so do

you think David will be loyal and risk his life for you? Just like that woman, he’s afraid of death.”

“I’ve never met Timothy. The news leak that you’re not a Gibson wasn’t my doing. If you’re looking to vent your

anger on someone, you’ve got the wrong person!” Winston protested, staring warily at the golf club in Nigel’s

grasp.

Nigel despised it when others mentioned the Gibson family bloodline. He kicked Winston in the chest and snarled,

“Shut up! I’m telling you, even if I’m no longer a part of the Gibson family, I haven’t fallen so low that others can

manipulate me. If I can head that family for over twenty years, I can carve out a place for myself in the Stone

family. As for that company you and David co-founded, I can crush it with just one finger.”

Staring at him in shock, Winston responded in disbelief, “The Stone family welcoming back an illegitimate child?

Impossible!”

Nigel bent down and patted Winston’s blood-stained face. His tone was threatening as he said, “You only have two

choices before you. The first is to return to me whatever you took from Raveworks Enterprise. The second is to wait

for me to exact my revenge and live a life of poverty burdened with massive debts.

“That money… I’ve already invested that money into a project. I won’t be able to come up with the money in such a

short period. Give me a little more time. I’ll definitely return it to you,” Winston replied, gritting his teeth against the

throbbing pain in his head.

“No way. I want to see the money by tomorrow at the latest,” Nigel said firmly.

The wheels spun in Winston’s head. “The project I invested a large sum into is actually a real estate development

project in collaboration with the Hadley family. They’ve pitched in five billion. Just think of it as an investment. Once

I receive the returns, I’ll pay you back your money with interest!”

In his attempt to convince Nigel, Winston deliberately disclosed everything and even brought up past. events to test

Nigel’s principles. “Isn’t it because of Nathaniel that you’re in this state? We tricked the Hadley family all those

years ago, and we can do it again.”

“Are you so obsessed with money that you’ve lost your mind? Timothy and Nathaniel have been investigating what

happened back then. What’s more, Timothy has already begun to suspect me. Do you think Nathaniel is as gullible

as his father?”

Well, that would be better than letting my life fall into Nigel’s hands.

A sinister thought popped into Winston’s mind, and his eyes glinted with a crazed look. “No matter how capable

Nathaniel is, he’ll still have his weaknesses.”
