A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 He Is Your Only Son

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.”

Christina had thought she could avoid any contact with Nigel as long as she chose to ignore any updates or information about him.

However, that was all wishful thinking on her part.

The next morning. Lyle accompanied Christina to the prison to pay Nigel a visit.

In just a short span of half a month, the experience of imprisonment had eroded Nigel’s once proud demeanor and determination. His jet–black hair had turned silver, and his face bore the weight of weariness and hardships. His once–sharp eyes were robbed of their vitality, leaving them dull and lifeless.

Nigel’s eyes darted stiffly from side to side, devoid of expression. He lifted his gaze to see the striking Christina seated before him. The malicious smile that tugged at the corners of his lips could send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Separated by a thick pane of glass, Christina remained unfazed.

“Nigel, it’s been a while. It appears that prison life hasn’t been too kind to you,” Christina said with a subtle grin. “On the bright side, you should be grateful that your charges are limited to financial crimes. Anyway, I’ll work doubly hard to make sure your stay behind bars is prolonged.”

Nigel’s facial muscles twitched, and his gaze turned dark and cold. “Christina, did you come here today

just to rub it in my face?”
