Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748 Irreplaceable

That night, Nathaniel worked to sabotage the Stone family's investment ventures relentlessly.

When Sheridan woke up the next day, he could never have imagined that the Stone family was on the verge of being completely pushed out of the business circle.

What fueled Sheridan's anger further was Nathaniel's audacious attempts to undermine the Stone family, paying no heed to public opinion.

Sheridan knew Nathaniel had run out of patience. What Nathaniel said no longer served as a warning; he was ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Nathaniel had dominated the business realm at a young age, and he remained undefeated against seasoned veterans and ambitious newcomers.

While Sheridan embraced new challenges, he could not shake off the lingering uncertainty of facing Nathaniel head-on. The odds of his success remained uncertain.

Sheridan swiftly convened a board meeting to devise a strategic plan, while his desire to engage in discussion with Nathaniel grew stronger with each passing moment.

Unfortunately, Nathaniel declined his request and flatly refused Sheridan's attempts to reconcile, citing a busy schedule as the reason.

In his office, Sheridan's gaze remained fixed on the plummeting share price. Despite his best efforts to regain his composure, the graph displayed on the screen caused his heart to ache with a sense of anguish.

As the stock prices continued to plummet at an alarming rate, Sheridan's anxiousness grew, knowing that if this trend persisted, the Stone Group would be forced to declare bankruptcy the next day.

Sheridan's hatred of Azure and Nigel had reached an unprecedented peak. The Stone family found themselves entangled in this situation solely because of the mother and son's actions.

Unable to reach Nathaniel, Sheridan shifted his focus to Christina. He decided to give her a call.

Meanwhile, Christina was attending a fashion show rehearsal. Upon seeing Sheridan's number on the screen, she quickly switched her phone to silent mode and casually dropped it into her bag.

The observant Victoria noticed the numbers appearing on Christina's phone and raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want to ignore Mr. Stone's call? This is the perfect opportunity to state your demands.”

Christina was unbothered. “He should reach out to Mr. Hadley directly, not me. I don't want to involve myself in their business disputes.”

The Stone family was already trending on social media early in the morning. Even though Christina was not fond of keeping up with the news, the people around her could not stop discussing the Stone family's plight in front of her. Thus, it was hard for her to remain oblivious to it.

“What a ruthless man Mr. Hadley is. When he decides to make a move, he aims for the kill without hesitation. I bet Old Mr. Stone must have regretted his action for going against the Hadleys.” Victoria sighed, relishing in their misfortune. “Hey, wanna bet?”

Christina glanced at her from the corners of her eyes. “What kind of bet?”

“Let's see how long the Stone family can hold on. The loser will serve as the other person's servant for a month.” Victoria's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as her mind raced with cunning plans.

Christina turned around, intentionally protruding her noticeably curved abdomen. “You want a pregnant woman to be your servant to serve you tea the whole day?”

Victoria froze for a moment while staring at her belly. Even if Christina agreed to the bet, he knew Nathaniel would never let her off. If he were to discover that I made Christina my servant, he would not hesitate to offer me a goblet of deadly poison instead of a steaming cup of tea!
