Let Me Stay The Night

The suitcase contained all the incriminating evidence against Anya.

Anya stared at the stack of documents, her eyes blazing with a fiery intensity.

With an abundance of evidence securely in her possession, Christina exuded an air of unwavering patience. She knew Anya would not dare to defy her.

“I can easily take down all the dirt about you that’s been spreading online and give you a fresh start.” Christina enticingly offered to Anya.

Anya began to show signs of wavering.

Christina continued, “Your mother’s affiliation with the Specker family means I have to show respect to Vladimir. My ultimate goal remains the same–to gather evidence of Nigel’s involvement in the murder of my parents, make him confess, and ensure justice is served. Nigel and Yerek will never become part of the Stone family. Moreover, they abandoned you and your mother in times of crisis. Now that Nigel is facing consequences, why would you want to get entangled in that mess? If I were in your shoes, I would not only seize this rare opportunity to turn the tables but also liberate myself from Nigel’s negative influence. I would focus on building a brighter future for myself. Remember, revenge is best served cold, and it’s never too late to seek justice.”

That last remark was a wake–up call for Anya.

Indeed, as Nigel indulged in his wealth and power, his priorities revolved solely around authority and personal gain. When he eventually lost everything he held dear, he became apathetic toward his family.. He proved himself unworthy of the title of a father. Why should I sacrifice my future and engage in a struggle for the sake of so–called family honor when he was the one who let me down in the first place?

Anya carefully considered her options and began prioritizing her own benefits above all else. “I’ll take these pieces of evidence with me, and you’ll give me an additional twenty million and take care of the rumors and gossip online.”

A shrewd smile crossed Christina’s calm eyes as she responded, “No problem.”

However, the Labarge brothers didn’t fully trust the generous terms my father offered them. So, every time they had private meetings with my father, they secretly recorded videos as evidence to protect themselves in the future. Later on, a rift occurred between them, and Winston sold Raveworks Enterprise and started a new company in another city.
