Not only did Yara plan to take revenge on those who had bullied her, but she also intended to turn the tables and negotiate with Andrew. When the time came, if Andrew dared to disobey, she would not hesitate to betray him without remorse.
"Fine, Mr. Lloyd, you win. Name your terms. What would it take for you to keep helping me?" Yara sighed weakly, her voice filled with frustration.
Andrew continued to shake his head. "There's nothing about you that I want or desire. So, I have no conditions to offer, and I don't want to help you."
Yara snapped angrily, "Mr. Lloyd, are you even a man?"
Andrew gave her a puzzled look. "What does that have to do with whether I'm a man or not?"
Yara's face suddenly turned red as she bit her lip. "Mr. Lloyd, what do you think of my looks?"
Andrew examined her and nodded. "You're definitely top-tier, comparable even to my little servant girl."
The flush on Yara's face deepened as she struggled to voice her next offer. "Then, Mr. Lloyd, I'm willing to… be with you. Would you like that?"
Andrew frowned. "Are you trying to seduce me?"
Yara deliberately pushed out her chest, making the deep cleavage clearly visible. She crossed her long, pale legs, displaying them enticingly. "Call it seduction or whatever you want. If I spend one night with you, Mr. Lloyd, would you be willing to continue helping me?"
After making sure the woman was serious, Andrew felt a headache coming on. "Ms. Wright, do I really look that desperate?"
Yara snorted coldly. "There's no such thing as a man who isn't desperate. I understand that someone like you—young, accomplished, wealthy, and exceptionally skilled—doesn't lack female company, but I'm different. I'm from the Wright family, and just the aura of being a daughter from one of the Five Apex Families makes countless men want to get me into bed."
As she finished speaking, a tear slid down her cheek. Yara did not wipe it away but instead looked at Andrew through her tear-filled eyes.
That helpless gaze made Andrew feel deeply uncomfortable. "Alright, I can help you seize the position as head of the Wright family. But you know I'm not some bleeding heart who gets swayed by a woman's tears. Do you understand?"
Yara pressed her lips together, crying with joy. "I understand! Thank you, Mr. Lloyd. Now, let me take care of you."
Her delicate hands with light purple nail polish, which looked quite attractive, reached toward Andrew's pants.
Andrew asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Yara lowered her head shyly. "Don't move, Mr. Lloyd. I'll unzip your pants and use my mouth first. Don't worry, I'll be very careful and make sure you're satisfied!"
