Let Me Stay The Night

The car narrowly brushed by him before ramming into the stone barrier with a loud crash, the front becoming severely dented. The windscreen also shattered, causing glass shards to scatter all over the ground.

The crowd slowly returned to their senses after witnessing the accident. Then, some passersby went up to the car upon noticing that no one had alighted even after a long while.

Nathaniel scanned their surroundings. Not noticing anything that might lead to a clue, he walked toward Gibson Corporation while still guarding Christina.

Anya emerged from a corner, glaring at Christina from behind with gritted teeth.

“I won’t let you off, Christina!”
