A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 714 An Unfair Agreement

Christina didn’t immediately agree to Nigel’s conditions. “I need time to verify whether what you’re saying is true. Before that, I expect you to behave yourself and stay in your lane. It’s a condition that must be met for us to successfully collaborate.”

It was obviously an unfair agreement, but Nigel was not in a position to refuse.

Nigel had already lived through almost two–thirds of his life. As a deeply traditional person, he didn’t have extravagant expectations for the time that remained. His only wish was to have someone dear to him by his side in his old age and provide him with support until his final days.

Now that Anya was gone, Yerek became the only person Nigel could truly depend on.

Nigel looked back on the days of boundless glory when he had control over the Gibson family and compared it to his current situation. His overwhelming emotion wasn’t one of regret but rather a deep- seated self–directed anger for not being ruthless enough.

Because of his momentary lapse in judgment, he had inadvertently provided his long–suffering prey with an opportunity to turn the tide.

“I’m already a prisoner with my life and death in your hands. There’s nothing I can do,” said Nigel with a bitter smile, his face marked by a growing look of defeat and weariness.

No matter how dire Nigel’s circumstances were, they failed to elicit even a hint of compassion from Christina as the death of her mother and the tormenting years her father had endured in a wheelchair only served to fuel her hatred toward Nigel.

All of a sudden, a sinister idea blossomed in Christina’s heart.

“In consideration of your somewhat sincere intentions, Nigel, I’ll share a little tidbit of information with you.” Christina’s lips curled into a menacing smirk. “Do you remember Emilia? Anya’s death may have. something to do with her. Yerek and Emilia share a close relationship behind the scenes. Who knows. perhaps Yerek could have had some involvement in the incident.”

With that, Christina whirled around and left without sparing another backward glance.

“What do you mean by that, Christina? Come back here and make things clear!”

A scream of rage tore from Nigel’s throat, echoing behind her, followed by the sound of something heavy crashing to the floor.

Nigel’s own flesh and blood had conspired to harm his half–sister. The source of this tragedy stemmed from Nigel’s insatiable greed. Undoubtedly, he deserved to bear the weight of this agonizing guilt.
