Let Me Stay The Night

Azure was well aware of the predicament the Gibson family was in and thought Yerek did a good job of managing to amass five million. At any rate, it was a better effort than those in their family who only sat back and watched the drama unfold.

Out of love and concern, she asked, “How did you manage to put together that much money. Yerek?”

“I sold a condominium and a car under my name,” Yerek responded calmly. “A friend gave me a good price for them.”

Azure was astonished. “How could you do that? That’s the only property under your name! And a coming- of-age gift from your father, no less.”

Yerck brushed it off. “Those are all material things. Anya is my sister. I can’t sit back and watch something happen to her.”

Yerek’s lips curled into a smirk. Aware of what Azure liked to hear, he chose his following words carefully.

Christina may have her own reasons. I think you should sit down and talk to her about it. She’s not unreasonable, you know.”

“Hmph! Don’t try to defend her. She no longer gives a d’mn about the Gibson family. Worse still, she’s trying to turn us against one another.”

Earlier, Azure was even considering calling Christina and demanding payment but at Yerek’s provocation, she decided against it.

“I’ll come up with something else, Grandma. We can talk about everything else later.”

“All right. I’ll await your good news.””

After hanging up, Azure flung her phone onto the couch. Then, she exited her room and knocked on the door adjacent to hers.
