Hearing that Christina was willing to offer her help, Macy nodded vehemently without thinking much.
“Tell me what you need. I’m willing to do anything within my capabilities. Just remember, you must keep
your promise to help me repay my debts!”
“Don’t worry. It won’t be too difficult, Christina reassured Macy, casting her a meaningful glance. “I don’t
expect you to put yourself in danger. All I need is for you to answer a few questions truthfully, and I’ll
find a solution to your problem.”
A sense of foreboding rose in Macy’s heart when she heard Christina’s reply. She realized that she
might have agreed too hastily to Christina’s offer and now felt a tinge of regret. What if….
Before she could figure something out, Christina saw through her reservations and declared, “Of
course, you do have the option to back out now.”
Chuckling icily, she continued, “However, I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to return to Gibson
Corporation and negotiate with me later. As it stands, your debtors frequently come here looking for
you.”
Christina had made that last bit up to scare Macy. Even if Macy were to go back on her word, Christina
had other ways to make her change her decision.
Macy was terrified of the loan sharks. She couldn’t bear to live another day trembling in fear of the loan
sharks.
I can handle it. I’ll give vague answers and buy myself enough time. By the time Christina figures out
the truth. I’ll have found a way to repay my debts and escape this nightmare.
Assuming she had come up with a great plan, Macy declared, “Let’s sign an agreement so none of us
will back out of our deal.”
Christina’s lips curled as she turned to Sebastian. “Mr. Taggart, please prepare an agreement for us.”
“Yes.” Sebastian gave Macy a look before leaving the office.
For the next ten minutes, Macy sat restlessly in her seat, unable to shake off her mixed emotions of
dejection and fury. She couldn’t help but steal glances at Christina, who was fully engrossed in her
work.
If it weren’t for Christina, my family wouldn’t be in dire states, Christina’s position should’ve belonged to
Anya! She’s nothing but a b*tch!
Her gaze turned increasingly menacing.
Perhaps Macy’s gaze was too intense, for Christina eventually raised her head and locked eyes with
her, flashing a teasing smile. Macy quickly averted her gaze, feeling utterly helpless at that moment.
After signing the last file, Christina idly played with the pen in her hand. “There’s no need to put on an
act, Macy. I can see the thoughts running through your mind. You must be cursing me right now for
disrupting your once peaceful and luxurious life and for taking away Anya’s rightful position,” she
remarked.
Macy’s jaw dropped wide open in disbelief.
Christina continued, “So what? You took that from me, so why can’t I take it back from you? ‘An eye for
an eye. You were the one who taught me that.”
Right after her words fell, Sebastian returned to the office with the agreement. Macy’s eyes lit up at the
sight of the agreement as she swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue.
Sebastian gave a copy each to Christina and Macy. “Mrs. Gibson, here you go.”
Macy had just flipped the first page open. Before she could even finish reading the first term, her phone
buzzed in her pocket.
An instant wave of anxiety washed over her, causing her body to tense up involuntarily.
Gripping the agreement, she urged, “I won’t read it. Hurry, let’s sign this. If I find out that you lied to me,
I promise I’ll make your life a living hell.”
Despite her predicament, Macy remained stubborn until the end.
Christina flashed a mocking smile and signed the agreement.
After watching Christina sign her name, Macy quickly grabbed a pen and signed her name on the
document, afraid that Christina might backtrack on her word at any moment.
“What questions do you have for me?” Macy gazed at Christina nervously.
“First question. How much inside news do you know about the accident involving my parents?”
Macy’s expression changed abruptly as she stammered, “I-I don’t know anything!”
Clearly, she was hiding something. Christina’s gaze turned sharp as she declared icily, “The first term
of the agreement states that if you refuse to answer my question without a valid reason, I have the right
to end the agreement.
Macy nearly jumped up in anger. “Christina, you tricked me!”
“I gave you the option to back out, but you willingly entered into this deal with me. You signed the
agreement without even bothering to read through it. Remember, it was your choice.”
Macy quickly flipped through the agreement, her heart sinking further the more she read.
None of the terms were in her favor.
Even so, Macy would rather submit to Christina than get tortured by her debtors.
Christina would spare her life, but her debtors wouldn’t hesitate to end her life.
Macy realized the futility of keeping Nigel’s secrets. He had selfishly abandoned both her and Anya in
his pursuit to benefit from the Stone family’s influence.
His cruelty and disregard made her question the need to risk her own life to protect his secret.
Christina shot Sebastian a look, and he promptly retrieved a check for one hundred thousand, pinning it
on the desk.
She made her offer clear. “I’ll reward you with one hundred thousand for each question you answer
truthfully. How does that sound?”
Macy gazed at the check greedily and instantly made up her mind.
“I don’t have much knowledge. Nigel is a paranoid, self-centered, and controlling person, so he rarely
confides in me. However, a few weeks before your parents’ accident, I happened to wake up in the
middle of the night to get some water and overheard him speaking on the phone. He mentioned
something about having a significant sum of money to spend once certain things were taken care of.
People used to mock Nigel behind his back, comparing him unfavorably to Timothy, who was superior
to Nigel in every way. They would say that Nigel was nothing but a useless person who relied on his
elder brother for everything. Nigel wanted to change that perception and would often seek out business
partners to venture into various industries.”
Macy paused deliberately, her gaze locked on, the check.
Sebastian gave the check to her and pulled out another check worth two hundred grand.
Macy gulped as her gaze turned as wide as saucers.
“What kind of businesses did he get involved in?” Christina asked.
“A lot, but most of them were illegal. Nigel experienced significant financial losses, far exceeding his
earnings. Unluckily for him, in that particular year, he invested in a firearms business overseas that
ended up offending a powerful local figure. This sudden clash led to their business becoming a target
of the local government. Nigel needed a substantial sum of money to bribe the influential individual.
Consequently. he resorted to embezzling funds from Gibson Corporation to resolve the predicament.
However, it wasn’t long before Timothy discovered the missing money. Nigel feared that Timothy would
uncover his involvement in the crime while the demands of the local figure grew increasingly insatiable.
His thoughts were consumed by finding ways to amass wealth each day.”
Christina’s gaze turned dark. “Nigel wants to gain control of the Gibson family to cover up his crime.
Am I right?”
