Let Me Stay The Night

The fact that Nathaniel had been called the Grim Reaper wasn’t without any basis.

Anyone he targeted would never be able to escape his grasp.

“I’m not sad, Nathaniel. I just feel that it’s a shame.” Christina stared at him. “I had assumed that my plan was perfect. Given how evil Anya is, I can’t believe that there’s someone out there willing to protect her still.”

Anya was no longer the glamorous daughter of the Gibson family. In fact, she had nothing left and was reduced to living in poverty and disgrace.

Consequently, Christina couldn’t, for the life of her, figure out what the mysterious person saw in Anya.

“The truth will definitely be revealed one day. Everything will make sense once we find out who her mysterious benefactor is.” Nathaniel tried to come up with a solution for the dilemma she was in, “You can monitor those who interacted with Anya before. There’s a good chance that one of them is her protector.”

A person popped into Christina’s mind immediately. “Could Vladimir have interfered behind the scenes?”

Nathaniel rejected the idea, “It can’t be him, as my men are monitoring the Specker family. Vladimir knows very well what’s at stake and values the reputation of the Specker family more than his own life. On top of that, he’s a man of virtue. Since he declared that he would stay out of the Gibson family’s conflicts, he would definitely not cross the line.”

The only other suspect Christina could think of was Yerek.

Hence, she asked hesitantly, “Can it be Yerek?”

After giving the matter some thought, Nathaniel gave an ambiguous reply. “Anything can be possible.”

Before Christina had the chance to question further, Nathaniel elaborated, “Yerek has been desperately looking for investors recently, but the results were dismal. He plans to sell the company Nigel left him to raise cash. Therefore, he has met with some foreign investors at an overseas conference and is seemingly close to them. Perhaps he is preparing to start a company with them overseas.”
