Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 191

When Christina realized that things were going south, she quickly walked over and said, “Why don’t we discuss this backstage about whether or not this dress can be duplicated.”

The point of the dresses was their uniqueness. If a duplicate dress were to appear, the prices of the other dresses would be affected.

Shelley’s usually smart, but why is she making a foolish mistake like this?

It was only then Shelley realized she had said the wrong thing-

However, when the two wealthy women saw the troubled look on Shelley’s face, they abruptly stopped their argument.

In fact, they started backing down and being polite to each other.

The argument ended as abruptly as it started.

Christina’s role as a designer had allowed her to see all kinds of people, and wealthy women like those two were the hardest to convince.

Yet, it seemed like they had changed their attitude because they did not want to put Shelley in a tight spot.

Hence, Christina wondered, Who really is Shelley?

Despite the minor unpleasant interlude, the show still ended smoothly.

By the time everything ended, it was already past midnight.

Right as Christina stepped out of the office, she spotted Nathaniel’s car.

After her kidnapping ordeal, Nathaniel always picked her up. Even if he was not free, he would send a bodyguard he trusted to fetch her.

“Ms. Steele, I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. I know I nearly caused major trouble. Please don’t be mad.” Shelley apologetically said.

Christina patted her shoulders, not intending to berate her since she was a rookie who had yet to grasp all the rules of the workplace.

“It’s okay, but you should pay more attention to details like this in the future. Time to head home.”

With that said, Christina walked toward the Maybach.

In the car, just as Nathaniel put down a file, Christina handed him another.

“Send this to Gideon on behalf of Hadley Corporation and get the money back from him.”

Christina had been contemplating the matter the entire day, and she felt that this was the best way to deal with the issue.

It was a hefty sum, and regardless of who would have to bear the cost–her or Nathaniel–she would be livid.

She had already done plenty for the Steele family; she was not going to let Gideon keep scamming her.

What she was worried most was that Gideon would come after them even more frequently if he got his way this time.

Nathaniel glanced at the document before turning to look at Christina’s serious expression.

He knew that she was not going to change her mind, so he agreed to it by passing the document to Sebastian and saying. “Deal with this.”

The next morning, someone woke Gideon, who was hugging a woman in his arms in a hotel suite.

“Mr. Steele, you’ve spent three million here last night. This is the bill,” the manager calmly stated.

The day before, when Gideon received a sum of money from Hadley Corporation, he immediately paid. off his debt before spending a large sum on entertainment.

After a quiet curse, he took out his card and said, “That’s nothing. Swipe this.”

The manager gingerly took it before swiping it with his card terminal. However, the screen told him that there was not enough credit on the card.

As cold sweat coated his forehead, he said, “Apologies, Mr. Steele, but this card has been declined.”

At the same time, he thought, Please don’t tell me I’ve bumped into a fraud. My bonus for this month is at stake!

“Nonsense. My son–in–law transferred money into this account, so how can this card be declined? Your machine must be malfunctioning!”

The manager did not dare to cross him, so he changed to a different card terminal.

However, the results were the same no matter which card terminal he used.

In the end, Gideon was beaten up for his inability to pay the bill. The owner of the hotel only released him after forcing him to write an IOU.

If Gideon could not clear his debt in three days, they were going to go to his company to demand payment instead.

Christina, that d*mn girl! Not only is she not helping me, but she’s even sabotaging my plans!
