Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 673

Chapter 673 Up To No Good 

Nathaniel swiftly shielded Christina in response. 

The car narrowly brushed by him before ramming into the stone barrier with a loud crash, the front becoming severely dented. The windscreen also shattered, causing glass shards to scatter all over the ground. 

The crowd slowly returned to their senses after witnessing the accident. Then, some passersby went up to the car upon noticing that no one had alighted even after a long while. 

“There’s no one in here… Call the cops! That was terrifying. Who knows how many people this car could’ve killed if it crashed into a crowd? Whoever owns this car is way too negligent.” 

More spectators arrived at the scene, and every comment they made reached the ears of Christina and Nathaniel. 

The man’s gaze darkened as he looked down at Christina. “Are you okay?” 

The latter appeared pale and couldn’t stop quivering. “I’m fine. Let’s go.” 

Nathaniel scanned their surroundings. Not noticing anything that might lead to a clue, he walked toward Gibson Corporation while still guarding Christina. 

“We still didn’t get her? Just my luck!” 

Anya emerged from a corner, glaring at Christina from behind with gritted teeth. 

“I won’t let you off, Christina!” 

Unsatisfied, she put her cap back on and strode in Christina’s direction. 

Standing amid the crowd, she watched Christina and Nathaniel walk into the skyscraper and was about to continue following them. 

Suddenly, the woman felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. 

She hastily withdrew her fruit knife and swung it at her assailant, causing the latter to grab her by the neck and drag her into a desolate corner. 

“Don’t move. It’s me, Yerek,” the man explained immediately, with Anya’s knife right below his throat by 

now. 

“Let go of me first,” Anya demanded, still in shock. 

Yerek let her go and took a few steps back to give her some space. “What are you doing in Jadeborough?” 

“What about you? Why are you here?” Anya questioned in return. 

“I’m here to discuss business, Yerek responded with a frown. “I heard you caused a huge ruckus in Hallsbay. Nathaniel’s men have been looking for you. What did you do?” 

“Would you help if I told you?” Anya asked, exasperated. “If you’re not going to help, just stay out of my 

business.” 

Just as she turned to leave, Yerek held onto her. “That’s Christina’s territory. She’s moved Gibson Corporation to Jadeborough. You’re walking straight into a trap if you barge in like that.” 

“I don’t need you to pretend to care about me, Yerek. That just makes you look pretentious and disgusting.” Anya glared at him. “Whether I live or die has nothing to do with you. I’m not you anyway. I don’t fear death!” 

Anya was so filled with hatred that she had lost her ability to reason. 

Her words pierced into Yerek like a sharp blade, breaking the barrier holding back all his insidiousness and releasing the inner beast within him. 

“I wouldn’t have given a d”mn about you if it weren’t for my father’s company, Anya.” Just to win investors over, the man had attended so many social drinking events until he had to be hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding. He didn’t want all his efforts to go to waste because of Anya. 

“If your little antics end up affecting my plans, I’ll be the first one to come after you, let alone Nathaniel!” he warned, grabbing the woman by the chin. 

With that, he turned and left coldly, leaving a sulking Anya on her own. 

Everyone thinks I’m someone they can just pick on however they like. Why? What did I do to deserve this sort of 

treatment? 

Then, as though remembering something, she ran up to Yerek and stood in front of him. 

“You told me back then that Nathaniel would be attending the International Business Conference and that you’d help me gain his favor,” she began with a smile, her face pale but eyes laced with insanity. “If we work together and I can take Christina’s place as Mrs. Hadley, all of the Hadley family’s assets worth billions will be ours!” 

Yerek scoffed. “You crossed Nathaniel, and his men are looking for you as we speak. What makes you think you’d be able to win his heart? Why should I join you in a gamble where the odds of winning are practically zero?” 

“I can use a disguise. I know a friend who makes hyper-realistic masks, but it’s going to cost a lot,” Anya explained. “We may not come from the same mother, Yerek, but we’re still bound to each other no matter what. We either rise or fall together. If Nathaniel manages to get me, he definitely won’t let you off either.” 

Yerek had grown weary of fighting on his own by now. Anya wasn’t worth anything, but she had nothing but revenge against Christina on her mind. If I use this as leverage, she could serve as my sharpest blade. 

“Fine. We’ll work together, but you have to act according to my instructions. You can’t move without my permission. If you can’t follow this, then we’re done with each other.” 

“I accept your terms.” Anya was secretly elated. Once I win Nathaniel over, it’ll be a piece of cake getting rid of Yerek 

In the blink of an eye, both she and Yerek began making plans for their own benefit while thinking of ways to dispose of one another. 

Christina observed Gibson Corporation with Nathaniel’s accompaniment. It didn’t take her long to note
