Crystal Foster stared intently into Martin Riley's eyes, speaking each word deliberately. After running into Hyland Riley and Stella, she realized that getting revenge on her own was nearly impossible. She needed an ally, and Martin was the perfect choice. With such a strong ally, she had to hold on tight.
Martin, on the other hand, was feeling increasingly irritated. Sylvia Byrne was as relentless as ever.
"No," he replied coldly, his expression darkening.
Crystal wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away. She quickly grabbed Martin's arm, holding on tightly despite his attempts to shake her off.
"You said I could ask for anything. All I want is for you to have a meal with me. That's not too much to ask, is it?"
Food is essential, and mealtime is the most relaxing time, perfect for negotiations. She needed to leave a good impression on Martin to make her future plans easier.
"Sylvia, you're pushing it!" Martin gritted his teeth.
