Let Me Stay The Night

The soundproofing in the study was excellent, making it difficult for Christina to hear clearly. Seeing no one around, she discreetly opened the study door just a crack.

“I had people investigate the accident from back then. Although Nigel neatly tied up all loose ends, there are still many suspicious leads upon closer inspection. After I established myself and relied on the connections my father had built, I developed Gibson Corporation. At that time, Nigel repeatedly expressed his desire to join my company in order to gain some work experience.“

Timothy’s voice continued, “Christina’s mother had always been gentle, but she was particularly firm on this matter. She didn’t agree to let Nigel work at Gibson Corporation. Later, my mother had some complaints about her because of this, and Nigel’s family also didn’t like her. The only time Nigel and his wife were good to Christina’s mother was two days before the accident.”

Regret and anger welled up in Timothy’s eyes, and the veins on his forehead bulged as if he was trying to suppress some emotions.

“It wasn’t until recently that I realized why they changed their attitudes so quickly. They knew deep down that something would happen to me and Christina’s mother. Nigel, as my younger brother, could then rightfully take over the entire Gibson Corporation. However, he miscalculated as I didn’t die-I became disabled instead! If it weren’t for Christina… I might have become a disabled and worthless person for the rest of my life.”

Then, Timothy turned to Nathaniel. Im not telling you all this today to gain your sympathy or help. When Christina takes over Gibson Corporation, her situation will become very dangerous. I hope to obtain a promise from you. Nathaniel, you must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will never abandon Christina or harm her in any way!”

Timothy’s voice carried a hint of ruthlessness, and Nathaniel sensed that if he couldn’t give a clear answer, Timothy wouldn’t let him leave Rose Gardens safely.

When it came to Christina, Nathaniel never held back his true feelings in front of others.

“Mr. Gibson, rest assured that Christina is the only love of my life. She is more important to me than my own life. Even you cannot harm her in the slightest. In fact, the entire Hadley family will back her up.”

Finally, Timothy’s face cleared up. “I do trust your character. Christina doesn’t have much experience in taking over the company, so please guide her whenever you have the time.”

Nathaniel smiled slightly. “She is smarter than you imagine.”

“Good, then I can rest assured.” Timothy chuckled. His gaze swept past Nathaniel to the person hiding behind the door. “Come in. Don’t eavesdrop outside.”
