A Crazy Night Novel

At those words, Christina’s sharp eyes flicked toward Yerek.

Satisfied to have guessed Christina’s innermost desire, he clung desperately to his bargaining chip.

“I’ll hand the evidence to you after you get my father out and ensure his safety. As a show of good faith, I will first return the shares to you.”

“What a wonderful son you are,” Christina jeered. “You would rather betray your adopted father, who has cared for you for over twenty years, to protect your birth father. Like father, like son, indeed.”

Yerek scowled. He did not feel guilt toward Timothy at all; the latter’s heartlessness had completely eradicated any love he had for his adoptive father.

It’s human nature to strive for progress. Onward and upward.

Having had enough of poverty, he had no desire to go back and so was determined to change his circumstances, thus saw no wrong in the underhanded tactics he employed to attain his goal.

Christina and Timothy are to blame for pushing me to the edge!

At that thought, he regained the courage to stand up to Christina. “Your tactics are not much more ethical than mine, Christina. We are the same, you and I. Just as greedy and ruthless.”

“You overestimate yourself,” Christina said coldly. “I’m not like you. I will never carry out such vile plots against my family.”

Yerek turned pale with fury. He lost the patience to negotiate. “Do we have a deal or not, Christina?”

Christina studied him for a moment, then turned to Lyle. “Take the shares transfer agreement. I’m late for a meeting. Take care of the rest.”

“Understood, Mrs. Hadley.” Lyle took the agreement from Yerek’s hands and handed it to Christina before shoving him away from the car. “If you want your father to emerge in one piece,” he warned, “you’d better not be heckling Mrs. Hadley.”

Before Yerek managed to state all his demands, he was forced to watch Sebastian drive off.
