A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 677

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.

If the first plan falls through, I can initialize the second.

However, Yerek was not planning on letting Anya in on it.

Naturally, Anya was unwilling to. She needed him for his financial support to afford the equipment necessary to maintain her façade.

We are halfway through the plan. Though we’ve had some hitches, we have at least achieved the desired effect.

Anya set aside her pride. “You know how reckless I am with words, Yerek. It wasn’t my intention to look down on you. Since the misunderstanding between Christina and Nathaniel did not manage to force his hand, we can act through her instead. It would be a waste after going through all that effort to attend this conference if we were to go our separate ways at this juncture.”

Yerek remained impassive. “If you want to be Mrs. Hadley, you’d better put aside your petty tricks and stick to the plan.”

Hmph. How dare he order me around like a slave?

Despite her inward grumbling, she maintained her meekness before him. “I got it, Yerek. Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say from here on out. Dad’s in jail, and Grandma is old and more senile than ever. The only person I have left is you. Please don’t cast me aside.”

Raising his brows, Yerek sneered, “Isn’t Grandma becoming increasingly frail what you want?”

Anya looked away. Yerek’s penetrating gaze made her deeply uneasy.

She gave a simpering laugh. “How could you think of me that way, Yerek? Grandma doted on me, and I love her. How could I harbor such wicked thoughts? I’m not a heartless woman like Christina.”

Yerek did not care much for Azure, and her fate meant nothing to him. He only brought her up to rattle Anya.

Yerek had a copy of the leverage Azure had over Anya. Furthermore, his copy was more complete and incriminating.
