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.

“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!”

and those companies continued thriving, having not been affected by the series of events,” Emilia admitted. “Most of the funds used to establish those companies were transferred from marital assets. Now, all of those companies have been transferred to Yerek’s name. From what I know, their market value is around fifty
