Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 677 Old Wounds

Nathaniel did consume the drugged glass of wine. He was severely intoxicated when Yerek had him brought to Anya’s room.

Even so, Anya did not approach him as they planned.

In fact, she was forcibly reminded of the time when Madison schemed against Nathaniel and how similar her predicament was compared to Madison’s.

A strange fear suddenly gripped Anya.

If he finds out who I really am, I may end up even worse than Madison.

At that thought, Anya turned pale.,

Yerek sneered at her fearful expression. “The plan is just beginning, and you’re already chickening out?”

Anya hated more than anything being looked down upon. She cast a sideways glare at him. “If you are as good as you claim, how did Gibson Corporation end up in Christina’s hands?”

Mercilessly, she struck him where it hurt the most.

Anya never acknowledged Yerek’s abilities, so when she found out that he was Nigel’s illegitimate son and that Nigel wanted to hand Gibson Corporation over to him, she grew to hate her brother who had taken everything from her.

We are now in the same boat. How dare he look down on me?

Not content with inwardly ridiculing him, she even needled him on his sore spot.

“Let’s call off our partnership if you feel that I’m not good enough for you.” After the incident, Yerek lost faith in Anya becoming the lethal weapon in his hands the way he thought she would be. He was not going to sit around and wait.
