Let Me Stay The Night

Christina’s heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. She had thought about reuniting with her family, but that didn’t mean she planned on leaving this city to move to Hallsbay.

If I leave, the kids will have to come with me. What about Nathaniel? Will Nathaniel agree to us moving to another city?

She snapped back to reality, realizing she had subconsciously dug her nails into her palms. “I need to take some time to think this through.”

Deciding to relocate to another city on such short notice was a decision that she was unable to make now.

Timothy nodded, acknowledging and respecting her decision. “I understand. Take your time to think it through. However, your grandma and I genuinely want to live with you. As for the shares, I’ve made a decision to transfer half of my shares to you. It’s time for you to learn how to manage Gibson Corporation.”

Christina towered her gaze wordlessly. Yerek mentioned that Dad had always desired to reclaim his position at Gibson Corporation. Accepting his shares isn’t that simple a matter. Personally, I’m not particularly interested in managing the family business.

At the same time, Anya stood outside the door and listened attentively, catching every word of their Conversation.

With Grandma and Uncle Timothy’s shares combined, even without the shares her mother left her, Christina will become the largest shareholder of Gibson Corporation. That means she’ll have control over the company. But she’s just a designer and doesn’t know how to run a company. I’ve worked hard for the company, and I can’t let her have power over me!

With that thought in mind, she dug her nails deep into her palms.

Without hesitation, Anya made her way downstairs and drove to a nearby bar.

It was a popular spot in the city, located on a bustling street next to a luxurious condominium. The vibrant nightlife in the area added to the lively atmosphere.

Anya strode into the bar and scanned her surroundings. Soon, she found the person she came here for.

She went straight to the table. “Ms. Taggart, are you drinking out of frustration as you couldn’t win the heart of your beloved man?”

Madison glanced at the newcomer, a young lady in her twenties clad in a suit. “Who are you? I don’t think I know you.”

“Who I am isn’t important. What’s more important is that we have a common enemy, Christina Steele!” Anya managed between gritted teeth.
