Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 759 Competition Of Three

No matter how Barnaby kept his voice hushed, Christina managed to hear his every word.

Remaining calm, Winston smiled and took a huge step toward Barnaby. “You’ve done your fair share of grumbling behind the backs of those who feed you, Barnaby. Why don’t you reveal all the things you used to do back then? We can go down together. I’m just a nobody, though. I’m nothing compared to prestigious folk like you?

Seeing the elderly man quiver with rage. Winston continued smugly, “Nigel is a lost cause. Wouldn’t it have been great if you chose me as your right-hand man instead of him? Too bad it’s all in the past. I have my own establishment now, and I don’t need anything from you.”

Barnaby gritted his teeth. “I can crush your little company with just my finger!”

An insidious look flashed in Winston’s eyes. “Yeah. That’s why you’ve been secretly plotting against me ever since Nigel and I fell out and he went to jail. You convinced David to divide our assets and gave him all sorts of other ideas. Well, you got what you wanted. I nearly died by my own cousin’s hands, and most of the company’s shares and funds belong to him.”

“That’s what you get for being too greedy,” Barnaby taunted mercilessly.

Winston lit a cigarette, took a puff, and blew out a cloud of smoke. Then, he smirked.

“That’s why I don’t intend to leave things the way they are anymore. I’m a sore loser who can’t handle seeing others doing better than me, and I have no qualms about getting even with you. I’m going to come clean to the Gibson family and appeal for leniency.”

His last few words hit Barnaby like a bomb, shattering the latter’s composure.

“You’ve gone mad, Winston!”

The younger man smirked. “What else can I do when I have nothing left?”

Barnaby glanced toward Christina warily before gripping Winston’s wrist. “Please remember where we are now. This isn’t a place for you to do whatever as you wish. Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Winston chuckled. “A hundred million. Nothing more, nothing less. I’ll do whatever you ask as long as you agree.”

A hundred million was the exact amount David had robbed of him.
