Chapter 621 Merciless


    Suddenly, Yerek remembered something. I didn’t even ask to borrow that amount of money from


    Sheridan! He offered it to me willingly and said I could use the money to get myself out of trouble. He


    even told me there was no rush to pay him back.


    Ever since Yerek and Nigel got kicked out of the Gibson family, theirpany had run into all kinds of


    trouble. Although they had already sold off their assets, they were still struggling financially.

    That was why Yerek was willing to humble himself and ask Sheridan for help.


    “Didn’t you tell me there was no rush to pay you back? Why are you going back on your word?” Yerek


    was annoyed.


    With a cunning look in his eyes, Sheridan answered, “I told you that, but that doesn’t mean you can


    dy the repayment for however long you want. Mr. Gibson, nothinges for free in this world. You


    shouldn’t take advantage of my kindness.”


    “I didn’t expect you to act this way.” Yerek sighed. He tricked me! No one has ever done this to me.


    Livid and embarrassed, Yerek fumed, “You tricked me, Sheridan!”


    “Nigel and you are both illegitimate children. You guys were worthless since the beginning. Why should


    I waste my time and effort on insignificant people like you?” Sheridan chuckled.


    Sheridan was definitely ying Yerek for a fool.


    Since Barnaby hadn’t officially weed Nigel and Yerek into the Stone family, the father, and son


    were indeed illegitimate children.


    Back then, Yerek wouldn’t think twice before buying a car worth a few million. However, he hadnded


    in hot water at this moment, and he didn’t even have a few hundred thousand to spare, let alone a few


    million.


    “You’re into Christina, aren’t you?” Yerek asked tentatively. “I can help you get her.”


    Sheridan’s gaze darkened, and he asked in an intimidating tone, “Who told you that I was into her?”


    “We’re both men. Your eyes were filled with desires whenever you saw Christina. Why don’t we work


    together?” Yerek asked.


    “Do you think my love life is worth a measly few million?” Sheridan sneered. I’m a businessman not a


    phnthropist. Does he really think he can get rid of me with a mere few million? That’s naive of him.


    “What do you want me to do, then?” Yerek gritted his teeth.


    Sheridan pondered for a while and suddenly said, “I sold Gibson Corporation’s shares to Christina for


    twenty million.”


    Yerek looked at Sheridan in shock.


    Sheridan was satisfied with Yerek’s reaction because he had ended Yerek’s dreams mercilessly.


    “I don’t need help to get what I want, Yerek. You can’t even take care of yourself now. Why should I


    work with a piece of trash?” Sheridan mocked.


    “Sheridan, you’re crossing the line!”


    “Get your facts straight. You owe me money now, so you’re supposed to pay me back. I want you to


    pay me back with interest in three days’ time. Otherwise, you’ll face the consequences.”


    Yerek had nothing to say in response because he had an obligation to pay back the money. Sheridan


    can easily tell the mediapanies about this, and my reputation will be ruined! I’m in no position to


    bargain with him. However, he was too proud to submit to Sheridan.


    “Just you wait, Sheridan!” Yerck stormed out after saying that.


    Sheridan’s expression turned gloomy at once, and he called someone on the phone. In a cold tone, he


    said, “Tell everyone to attend the family dinner tonight. I have something to announce.”


    Meanwhile, Yerek refused to swallow his anger. Sheridan sent me a text yesterday, asking me how I


    was doing Why did he suddenly turn his back on me today?


    With that in mind, Yerek narrowed his eyes. Could this be Christina’s doing? I must meet up with


    Christina no matter what.


    Yerek drove to Gibson Corporation after that.


    Coincidentally, Christina had just sent those ountants off, and she was about to walk back into the


    building. Right then, she saw Yerek arriving in his car from the corner of her eyes.


    Yerek opened the car door and exited his car. He cared about his reputation, so he had no choice but


    to suppress his anger when he said, “Christina, we need to talk.”


    Knowing that Yerek was most probably up to no good, Sebastian shot Lyle a look, signaling Lyle to


    chase Yerek away. However, Christina stopped Lyle from doing so.


    In a t tone, Christina said, “If you’re here to return something, fine. If you’re not, I’m sorry. I don’t think


    we have anything to talk about.”


    It was almost time for a lunch break, so the entrance of thepany was getting packed. The


    passersby were all looking at Yerek curiously. There have been plenty of scandals involving the Gibson


    family recently. In fact, Yerek who is also an illegitimate child is receiving even more attention than Ms.


    Steele.


    Yerek didn’t want to cause a scene, so he uttered softly, “I came here because of that.”


    Christina stared at him intently before saying, “Let’s talk in the coffeehouse opposite the road.”


    For some reason, Yerek breathed a sigh of relief when he heard those words. Nevertheless, when he


    noticed that Sebastian and Lyle were tagging along, he frowned and asked, “Why are they tagging


    along? I won’ty a finger on you in public.”


    “They won’t intervene in our conversation. If you mind, perhaps you should also bring some people


    along. It’s not like I’m going to ambush you in public,” Christina replied coldly.


    With that, Christina crossed the road. Yerek was angry, but he knew he couldn’t make her change her


    mind. After all, he was in no position to take control of the situation.


    Christina picked a table in the corner, and Sebastian and Lyle sat a few tables away. From an angle,


    they could clearly see what was going on at the table Christina and Yerek were sitting at. Besides, they


    could also intercede in time if needed.


    Christina didn’t want to waste her time on Yerek, so she asked, “So? Where are the shares?”


    “I’m willing to return everything to you, but I want to bepensated,” Yerek uttered firmly. “I’m not


    asking for much. It’s just thirty million.”


    Thirty million? Yerek has some balls, doesn’t he? Christina sneered, “Are you threatening me?”


    “Well, my dad and I worked hard over the years to build Gibson Corporation. Although it didn’t do well


    in theter stages, we couldn’t be held responsible entirely. Instead, I think we had strengthened


    Gibson Corporation quite tremendously. If you were kicked out, you would also ask for something in


    return, no?” In order to increase his bargaining power, Yerek exaggerated the contributions he and


    Nigel had given to the Gibson family. “Thirty million is the lowest I can go. You have the Hadley family


    backing you up. No matter how badly the Gibson family is doing financially, I’m sure you can afford my


    asking price.”
