Let Me Stay The Night

Anya maintained a confident expression, her gaze teasing as she locked eyes with Yerek. Her voice carried a hint of ambiguity as she spoke. “Now, it all depends on your performance. Your skillful seduction of Xylie with just a handkerchief was impressive. She was once Winston’s mistress, but due to her past conflicts with Christina, she was discarded by him. If we can fully exploit her resentment toward Christina, Xylie could become a valuable weapon in our hands.”

Yerek’s expression turned into one of anger as he confronted her sternly, “You were following me?”

Yerek had actually stumbled upon the scene where Winston abandoned Xylic. However, it was purely coincidental and not a result of any intentional actions on his part.

He happened to be hiding nearby and overheard their conversation, so he instantly formed a plan to use Xylie to seek revenge against Christina.

Much to his surprise, Anya had actually seen through his plan.

The woman toyed with her ring and flashed him an innocent smile. “Yerek, I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop. I just happened to be passing by and coincidentally had the same idea as you. We’re siblings, so it’s not strange to be on the same wavelength.”

On the same wavelength? Bullsh*t!

Yerek seethed with anger, but considering the bigger picture and maintaining his facade as the older brother, he chose to forgive Anya for her plot against him.

“It’s not appropriate for you to be seen by Nathaniel and Christina. Find a place to hide before the cruise ship docks. Once it does, you must disembark as soon as possible to avoid getting caught by Nathaniel’s men,” he instructed firmly.

“Well, for the remaining matters, it’s up to you, Yerek,” Anya calmly stated, acknowledging their respective roles. Acting obediently, she turned around to search for a hiding place, while Yerek prepared to manipulate Xylie for his own benefit.

Christina, accompanying Nathaniel, had been successful in securing several major projects at the international business conference. As the conference neared its end, she unexpectedly stumbled upon Bailey and Julian engaged in an argument in the lobby of the conference hall.

The two individuals found themselves embroiled in a heated dispute, cornered in a secluded area of the lobby. Bailey, determined to break free, struggled against Julian’s tight grip, their conflict intensifying. As her face flushed a scarlet hue, Bailey delivered a resounding slap across Julian’s face. Julian, his eyes filled with an intensity that could cut through steel, stared back at her, the air heavy with tension.
