Let Me Stay The Night

Since Yerek personally chose Anya to be on his team, no matter how frustrated or regretful he was, he could not slap her to death out of annoyance,

“Can’t you see that Victoria was deliberately trying to pick a fight? Haven’t you noticed?” Yerek wished he could knock on Anya’s head to see what was going on inside. “Christina was right there watching. It was clearly her idea.”

Anya was surprised to learn that Christina was present.

She was too engrossed in arguing with Victoria that she had not noticed Christina’s presence. “What does Christina want?“,

“If I’m not mistaken, Christina is starting to doubt your identity. She’s testing you,” Yerek deduced in a serious tone.

With a blaming glare, he reproached Anya. “Since you became Vera Ludwig, your actions have been too conspicuous. The speculation surrounding the delayed inheritance is also not in your favor.”

Anya sat on the couch, filled with frustration, and knitted her brows. “The problem is there’s too little information left by Vera. I can’t fully replicate her demeanor. And to make matters worse, that sly old man neyer intended to distribute his inheritance among other family members. That’s why he deliberately set up that d*mn biometric fingerprint lock. Vera Ludwig has been dead for over three years, and her body has long since decomposed into a pile of bones. Where am I supposed to find her fingerprints to open the safety deposit box? Even if her body was still intact, I couldn’t bring myself to desecrate a grave.”

Anya’s face filled with disgust and resistance when he mentioned Vera’s name.

Even the astute Yerek could not come up with a solution at that moment.

Anya’s mind was consumed with thoughts of reclaiming her reputation and teaching Christina and Victoria a lesson after they had humiliated her in front of so many influential figures and socialites.

“The international conference is about to start in an hour. I’ll take a shower and change into clean clothes. Send me the list of projects that Nathaniel wants to discuss so that I can do some preparation in advance.” The constant odor of food emanating from her body made Anya feel nauseous. To make matters worse, Victoria actually splashed her with peach–flavored soda.

She opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a pack of antihistamines, swallowing two tablets. Then she turned and walked into the bathroom.

Yerek acting as her mastermind, Anya could simply follow his instructions without having to exert
