Chapter 2081
This man was as vicious and ambitious as he was.
Manuel spoke. “I would do anything to help Florence.”
Donald slowly drank his wine. “You would do anything to help her but not yourself. Do you not want power?”
Manuel paused. Donald put down his glass, and his eyes were sharp like a hawk‘s, as if they were piercing through him. “Men will get any woman they want when they have power, including the one you love.”
Manuel lowered his gaze because he was moved.
Donald poured more wine for him. “You know that I‘m here with someone‘s help, and you‘re the only person I can trust. I see you as my brother now, so if you want power, I‘ll help you get
it.”
Manuel‘s fingers curled up because this got him thinking. Power was more attractive to men than money, especially for Manuel, who had always just been in The Serpents as a member. He had too many limitations.
He couldn‘t give Florence what she wanted, nor could he win her heart.
He wasn‘t a looker, so he could only help her in the background, but to Florence, all that he had done was what a member of the gang was supposed to do.
If she was his leader, he would just be a loyal dog of hers.
Thus, what Donald suggested hit him hard, and it was a very tempting bait.
