“We need to get back all the Hayes Corporation’s shares that we have lost.”
The housekeeper was astonished. “But… do you think that’s still possible, Mrs. Tsurka?”
“Of course it is. I’ll get anything I set my mind on. There’s nothing I cannot get.” A sinister smile played on Yancy’s lips as she concocted a plan in her heart.
The housekeeper thought for a bit and nodded.
It was true that Yancy always got her hands on whatever she wanted, but she was facing an unformidable enemy this time.
Although the housekeeper knew full well what Yancy was capable of, the recent encounter with Sebastian really unnerved her.
She doubted if Yancy would succeed in getting back what was due to Solomon.
Despite her hesitation, the housekeeper did not express her thoughts. After all, Yancy did get Solomon out unscathed this time.
Meanwhile, Akiko had been waiting on the other side all this while.
It was not until Yancy finished talking to the housekeeper and came in that someone summoned her to go over.
“Come in, Akiko.”
She hurried in with the tray in her hands.
“Mrs. Tsurka.”
Yancy sat down on the sofa as she slowly picked up the teacup to take a sip. She glanced at Akiko and put the cup back down. “How are you? Are you still sad because of what happened to your siblings?”
Akiko dropped to her knees, shaking her head.
“No, Mrs. Tsurka. I’m not.”
“You’re not? It’s normal to feel sad after losing your loved ones. To be honest, I’m really sorry for their loss. Both of them had served me for a long time. I know they died because of me, and I can assure you that I’m no less exasperated than you are.”
Yancy knew just what she needed to say to play with the young girl’s emotions.
True enough, Akiko was touched to hear her words.
“Thank you, Mrs. Tsurka.”
“You have nothing to thank me for. On the contrary, I owe everything to you. I will see to it that their deaths are avenged, but I will need your help to do that.”
“I’ll do anything for you, Mrs. Tsurka.”
The innocent girl was all ready to pledge service to Yancy.
Yancy was satisfied with her answer.
She asked the housekeeper to bring over a new ID she had prepared for Akiko.
“You will infiltrate the Hayes with this new identity.”
“You want me to be a spy?” Akiko’s eyes widened in fear. She was still an inexperienced girl in all regards.
A flicker of detest shone in Yancy’s eyes.
