Let Me Stay The Night

At this moment, Emilia’s arrogant attitude that was directed at Melissa had completely dissipated. Her desperate desire to survive consumed her. She had to stay alive, and she was willing to pay any price necessary to do so.

“Anya, I didn’t mean to betray you,” Emilia pleaded, putting on a pitiful act. “It was Yerek who told me to do this!”

Emilia was well aware that Anya had not approached her first just to teach her a lesson.

It was clear that there was a power imbalance in Emilia and Yerek’s partnership, for Yerek never showed any respect for Emilia.

Emilia was an impatient person. Her choice to rely on Yerek when Anya was losing was driven by desperation. Surprisingly, their objectives aligned perfectly, as both harbored a deep hatred toward Christina.

It was that very animosity that forced two people who could not stand each other to form a partnership for the sake of achieving their objectives.

“Tell me, why did Yerek ask you to betray me?” Anya grabbed Emilia’s chin, forcing her to lift her head. “I won’t show you any mercy if you lie to me!”

Anya now resembled a demon from the depths of hell. She was no longer the short-sighted and power- hungry

heiress of the Gibson family she once was.

The brutal society and the harsh reality forcefully changed Anya into a completely different person. Now, her methods were far more ruthless and extreme than Timothy’s.

“Yerek feared that you will compete with him for the inheritance, so he set you up.” Emilia blurted out. fabricating a lie to save her own hide.

“What inheritance? Be specific!”

From what Anya knew, Nigel’s company was burdened with debt, and a significant portion of the remaining assets had been taken by Christina under various pretexts. Moreover, Barnaby did not even care about Yerek and Nigel, so there were no assets for Emilia and Yerek to contend for.
