“Hah. Since Mr. Dane has made it clear, we should be more honest as well. Yvette, tell him what happened.”
Lyna shook her head and she couldn’t help but smile when she saw Jaxon’s body go limp.
“Mr. Dane, it happened like this…”
Yvette started to confess to him about how she hurt Hannah and he couldn’t stop himself from sighing after listening. Am I supposed to help her deal with Fabian? What kind of joke is that?
“I don’t think I can help you after you’ve done something like this. Fabian’s such an influential and powerful man. A nobody like me challenging him is basically just a death trap. I think you should just forget about it,” he said menacingly.
So the reason she arranged for a woman to accompany me was just to take videos to threaten me.
“I don’t know if he’s actually powerful and influential. But I do know that if I hand this thing to your higher-ups, you’d probably be spending the rest of your life in prison.”
Yvette waved Lyna’s phone before Jaxon’s face and said while smiling.
“I…”
The man regretted his choices immensely. Why do I always have to fool around with women when I have nothing to do? Now I ended up falling into the hands of a woman.
“Of course, we don’t want you to be in such a dilemma. You just need to be a little sloppy with this matter and we’ll handle the rest.”
Lyna knew that it would be impossible to ask Jaxon to constantly go against Fabian so she intentionally loosened up her conditions a little.
As long as Jaxon does his part and is finally on board with our plan, I won’t have to worry that he wouldn’t obey me anymore.
If he doesn’t obey me, I’ll just let Fabian know about everything. Knowing his personality, I believe that Jaxon has nowhere to run to anymore.
“I-If Fabian knows that Yvette has been released, he will definitely come to me. Wouldn’t I-”
Jaxon didn’t know what he should do all of a sudden. One of them was someone who could cause his downfall with just a simple talk with his higher-ups, while the other was someone who had his indecent video clips. Both of them were people he couldn’t afford to offend.
“Hmph! You really want to go down that road, Jaxon? What you choose to do is up to you.”
Lyna stared at him and deliberately pretended to be angry as she spoke. Once she was done speaking, she turned her head the other way and stopped looking at Jaxon.
In truth, she was actually very anxious. The choice he was going to make would affect his freedom for the rest of his life. If I don’t agree, I will have to spend my life in jail.
Let’s do it then! It’s better to die later than to die now.
“Okay, I’ll do it. But you have to promise me that you will hand over the original video clip and copies of it to me after this is over. After this mess, we’ll consider both of us to be even and we’ll act like we are strangers. Otherwise, I won’t help you with anything even if you uploaded this video clip online.”
Lyna snapped her fingers and agreed without hesitating, “Alright. Deal.”
Fabian and the rest left after the joyous song ended. Both Helen and Jason were wasted and he called the driver over to send them home before he left with Hannah to their marital home.
Of course, they had just gotten married so how could he not enjoy their first night of marriage? Both of them only went to sleep after they did the deed.
The next day, the morning sun shone on Fabian’s face. Perhaps it was because he drank so much alcohol and even ‘exercised’ last night that he was still not awake at this hour. Meanwhile, Hannah was already done washing up and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Buzz… Buzz… Buzz… The vibration from the phone woke him up.
Fabian picked up the phone and answered it, somewhat angry that somebody was calling him early in the morning, “I’ll give you ten seconds to tell me why you’re calling me or you will face the consequences.”
A trembling voice could be heard on the other end, “Mr. Norton, you were the one who told me to call you at eight in the morning.”
“Huh?”
The former was confused. Why didn’t I know that I needed someone to call and wake me up?
