Let Me Stay The Night

Given how greedy Yerek was, Christina wasn’t going to easily let him have his way.

“What Nigel has done is a crime and the mess he has created is just too big. He will be investigated soone or later, so don’t ask for the impossible, Yerek,” Christina said coldly.

Yerek snorted and responded in a nonchalant tone, “Obviously, I’m not doing all this for his sake. My request is simple. Get the Stone family to officially recognize my identity.”

Just the day before, negotiations between Christina and Barnaby had failed and they had parted on bad terms, and Sheridan’s stance toward Nigel and Yerek was firm. If even Barnaby couldn’t change his mind, Christina didn’t feel that she would stand a chance.

Yerek is clearly making life difficult for me.

Christina replied, “Change your request. This is a matter of the Stone family which an outsider like me has no right to interfere with. I’m afraid you overestimate my influence.”“”

To Yerek, results were all that mattered to him, and he couldn’t care less about the process. “You and Sheridan are close, and he seems to care a lot about you. If you can win over someone as ruthless as Nathaniel, I’m sure you can come up with something to have Sheridan eating out of your hand.”

Yerek’s words were like a huge slap on Christina’s face.

She took a deep breath. “Yerek, not all relationships between men and women are as sleazy as you think they are. If your goal is to upset me, I can unequivocally tell you that you have succeeded.”

Clenching her phone with hatred brimming within her, Christina raised her head to look at her father who was lying in the ICU.

“Barnaby came to see me yesterday and offered me a huge compensation with a single condition. He asked that I withdraw my lawsuit against Nigel.” A crafty glint flashed across Christina’s eyes. “If he were to learn that you used my father’s life to blackmail me, how do you think he’d react?”

Yerek fell into an abrupt silence. The howling wind echoed in his cars, sounding just like the roar of a beast.

The defensive move made by Christina was nothing but a gamble. She was betting that money and power were more important to Yerek than Nigel’s life.

Sensing that the time was right, Christina began to negotiate with Yerek calmly.
