Let Me Stay The Night

Nigel was hesitant. Everyone knew that he was Barnaby’s illegitimate child, but Barnaby had yet to acknowledge him formally.

Until now, Nigel had only met Barnaby once behind everyone’s back.

Nigel was no naive young man. Barnaby might’ve promised to make it up to him, but he could sense the reservations held by his father.

Despite wielding the Stone family’s power to manipulate situations to his advantage, Nigel couldn’t shake off his underlying lack of confidence. While he could easily exert control over individuals like Winston, he recognized that his abilities would pale in comparison to someone as cunning and ruthless as Nathaniel

Curious, Nigel asked. “What is Nathaniel’s Achilles’ heel?”

He has taken the bait!

Winston’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he pushed himself up from the snowy ground, gradually edging closer to Nigel. “His wife and children! Nathaniel has a reputation for being fiercely protective of his children and family back in Jadeborough. If you can exploit that weakness of his and make him work for you, it would yield remarkable results with minimal effort.”

Winston thought Nigel would heed his advice, so he did not expect the latter to react conversely.

“You’re planning to scheme Nathaniel for his money and then backstab him, aren’t you? Do you think Nathaniel is a fool? Perhaps you’re already on his radar.” Nigel jeered. “Even if you have a death wish, don’t drag me into your mess. Remember, I expect the money in three days. If you fail to deliver, I’ll ensure you pay the consequences!”

After delivering the threat, Nigel gave Winston’s chest a forceful kick. Winston failed to dodge in time, and he tumbled headfirst into the snow.

Nigel quickly made his way to his car and drove off, leaving Winston fuming in the cold. As he watched Nigel’s car disappear into the distance, Winston clenched his fists and vowed, “Nigel, mark my words. 1 will seek revenge one day!”

On the way, Nigel received a call from Barnaby. He quickly hopped on a plane to head back to Hallsbay.
