Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Take Charge Again 

Yerek’s words jolted Nigel out of his dejection. The latter was instantly riled up, and his eyes sparkled with 

motivation. 

For the first time, Nigel praised Yerek generously, “Hahaha! You’re truly my son!” 

Yerek returned the joyful man’s smile, but his smile never reached his eyes. 

In the past, Yerek yearned for fatherly love, which motivated him to always do as Nigel asked. Now that he was older, he had thoughts and ideas of his own, no longer needing his father’s approval. 

Nigel was an awfully selfish person. All he cared for was power, a trait that Yerek had inherited. 

Now that Christina had reunited with the Gibson family, Yerek was aware that his days in the Gibson residence would be akin to treading on thin ice. 

The fact that Yerek was Nigel’s illegitimate child would be exposed eventually, hence he began to seek a way out for himself. His original plan was to replace Nigel once he got the latter’s shares. 

Halfway through the operation, Christina and the division of assets happened without warning, ruining Yerek’s plan. 

When both Yerek’s and his father’s identities were revealed, they became the most despised people in the family. 

Even so, Yerek was unwilling to admit defeat. He wanted to prove to everyone who looked down on him that he could be successful even after he was kicked out of the Gibson family. 

“Sheridan and I have quite a good personal relationship. He once checked on me through a text when your identity was exposed. I think Sheridan still sees me as his friend, so I’ll continue to build my relationship with him. After all, he’s the heir of the Stone family. It’ll make it easier for us to return to the Stone family if we have his help,” Yerek stated confidently. 

However, Nigel frowned, still unconvinced. “Are you absolutely certain that Sheridan isn’t just being friendly with you to manipulate you? How can you be sure that he actually cares for you?” 

Yerek uttered with confidence, “I was the one who sold him Gibson Corporation’s shares at a low price. That puts him in the same boat as us. Christina will definitely kick Sheridan out of Gibson Corporation if she finds out about my relationship with him.” 

Nigel, uncertain how close the two were, eventually decided to place his hope in Yerek after careful consideration and deliberation. 

“We’ll definitely be able to turn the tide as long as we work together in the future. Don’t let me down, Yerek.” 

“I’ll do my best.” 

Now that a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, Nigel ordered more alcohol and invited Yerek to join him in the private room for a night of fun and enjoyment. 

Meanwhile, Christina strode into Gibson Corporation, accompanied by Sebastian and Lyle. 

Again 

The news about the reshuffling of personnel had spread throughout the company early that morning, and Christina’s presence at the company served as confirmation of the news. 

Following the operational crisis at Gibson Corporation, a significant number of employees chose to resign. Those who remained were primarily the upper management who helped Timothy rebuild the business. 

Regardless of whether Nigel or Christina held the position of authority, the employees would only listen to Timothy’s orders. That was why Nigel failed to kick Timothy out of the company, despite being in control for many years. 

Now that Gibson Corporation was in dire straits, Timothy insisted on having Christina take over the company, even if it meant falling out with his family. That alone was sufficient to prove how greatly he valued and trusted her abilities. 

Hence, the current senior executives held little concern about who would become the heir of Gibson Corporation. Their primary focus was finding someone capable of revitalizing the company and steering it toward success once again. 

That was why the head of the finance department immediately mobilized his team to gather the necessary financial accounts and documents when the CEO requested them. 

Christina also summoned the head of the HR department into the office and conveyed her instructions, “Today, there will be internal reorganization within the company. Temporarily dismiss all employees for the remainder of the day. They can resume their regular work tomorrow. Those who wish to resign should notify the HR department by the end of today, while those who wish to stay will be considered for promotions and salary increases. That will be all for now. You may proceed with your task.” 

The head of the HR department murmured in acknowledgment before leaving. 

Since Christina did not trust the others to deal with the accounts, she got help from Sebastian and Lyle. 

Just like that, the trio spent the entire afternoon going through the accounts. It was a fate worse than death for Lyle. He would rather undergo training in the rainforest rather than examine a stack of boring 

accounts. 

Sebastian, too, was beginning to feel dizzy from the assignment. No matter how fast they perused the documents, they only managed to go through half of it. The remaining documents would take at least two days to finish. 

Fortunately for the two men, their misery ended with Nathaniel’s arrival. 

When Nathaniel entered the office, all he saw was a pile of documents scattered on the ground and the top of Christina’s head behind them. 

He casually picked up a booklet and leafed through it. “I own a strong accounting firm under my name. and they’re professional in their job. Why don’t we let them take care of this instead? That way, it’ll be done faster.” 

Christina hugged his waist and grumbled, “Why didn’t you tell me this sooner? The sight of these accounts is making me sick.” 

“You didn’t tell me you were coming to Gibson Corporation to check their accounts, either,” Nathaniel remarked. 

To avoid gossip, he would never intervene in Gibson Corporation’s internal affairs. However, it was another matter altogether if it was Christina who asked for his help. 

Sebastian smacked his head hard when he heard Nathaniel’s offer, drawing an odd gaze from Lyle. 

Of course, Sebastian could not care less about his co-worker’s gaze. The idea of not having to read the boring accounts filled him with joy. 

How could I have forgotten about the accounting firm?
