Let Me Stay The Night

Nathaniel knitted his brows. “Some of the assets overseas Yerek inherited from Nigel are nothing more than shell companies. It seems that both Yerek and we were deceived by Nigel,”

“What? Why would Nigel do that?” Christina exclaimed. Nigel’s locked up in prison, and yet he went through all this trouble to set up this scheme? How on earth did he pull it off while being stuck behind bars?

“Nigel’s ultimate goal is to become the head of Gibson Corporation, but he lacks the capability to achieve it. However, it’s a different story for Yerek, who is now a free man. The fact that Yerek managed to find a reliable person he could count on in just a little over a month indicates that he must have had someone guide him behind the scenes.”

Christina went deep in thought. Who could that be? Anya is dead, and Mrs. Lazuli doesn’t seem capable of orchestrating such a plan. Even Emilia has vanished without a trace. At this point, the only person Yerek could count on is Barnaby,

“Could Barnaby be the person who offered Yerek guidance?” Christina made a wild guess.

“Sheridan still holds sway in the Stone family, so Barnaby wouldn’t dare to make any reckless moves. With Sheridan’s absolute power in the family, no one in their right mind would dare to challenge him.”

As the primary suspect was eliminated, Christina found herself trapped once again in a deadlock of thoughts.

She could not afford to sit idly by. After much hesitation, she said earnestly, “I want to meet Nigel.”

Since she could not find any clues from Yerek, she thought it best to shift her focus to Nigel instead.

Nathaniel knew nothing would hold Christina back. “Tell me when you’d like to meet him. I’ll get someone to make the necessary arrangements.

“Let’s schedule it for tomorrow morning. Let’s get it done and over with.”

remained composed and continued, “Among the assets you secretly moved overseas over the years, there’s a portion that rightfully belongs to my father. You might have thought that by changing ownership, I would be left powerless. But let me assure you that’s not the case. As for Yerek, his situation isn’t looking too promising either. I believe there are forces at work that will deal with him without my interference. Yerek’s fate will be far more devastating than Anya’s.
