Chapter 296
Logan said nothing.
Sanya’s words immediately left him speechless.
‘How could this girl say such vicious words with an angelic face, as if she were talking about the weather?’ he thought. ‘So, one really can’t judge a book by its cover. Was Chris also fooled by her appearance back then?”
Logan then asked, “Why are you telling me your motive? Now that you have, there’s no way I’d cooperate with you.”
Sanya tilted her head when she heard this. She blinked and smiled radiantly as she said, “Mr. Leith, you’re a piece of work. You were clearly the one who asked me why I came to see you. I was very cooperative and told you my motive.
“How come you are turning it around and asking me why I told you my motive? As expected of someone who engages in politics. Very few people in politics are truly not morally corrupt. I’m indeed very naive. I’m totally outplayed by you guys. I can’t outdo you all.”
Logan was left speechless.
After Sanya went on like this, he fell silent again.
‘Her words were firing out like bullets,‘ he thought. ‘Is her mouth armed with a machine gun? How come she can talk so well?
I’ve always heard that war machines are humanoid weapons that kill lots of people, their methods cruel and heartless, but I’ve never heard of one who can talk so well. It feels like if a few war machines just kept blabbering around people, they could talk them to death.
‘People can’t outdo them in fighting and talking.’
Logan was really troubled,
Looking at the girl lying leisurely on the bed as if this was her home, he asked again, “What will it take for you to leave?”
The corners of Sanya’s eyes curved as she said with a smile, “Haven’t I told you already? I want you to work with me to take down your father.”
“Is it possible for a son to plot against his own father?”
“There’s nothing impossible in this world. Besides, I love doing thrilling things, turning the impossible into possible.”
Sanya sat up from Logan’s bed again and crossed her smooth legs. She then said with a smile, “Mr. Leith, why don’t we make a bet?”
“What are we betting on?”
“I bet you’ll eventually get rid of your father for my sake.”
Sanya was full of confidence, carrying herself with the air of someone who was sure of victory. It was as if there was nothing she could not do.
However, Logan knew himself very well. There was no way he would go against his biological father for this girl, even though their father–son relationship had already been severed.
“You can’t win,” Logan said indifferently and with certainty.
“Don’t speak so confidently,” Sanya said dismissively. Then, she continued, “How about this? Since it’s a bet, there has to be something at stake to make it interesting. How about three months?

“If you don’t turn against your damn old man and get rid of him for my sake in three months, I’ll disappear from your life forever and never bother you again.”
Logan responded by asking in return, “Why should I bet on this with you?”
“Of course, it’s because you can’t say no.”
Sanya had a confident and bold look in her eyes, her beautiful lips curling up provocatively as she asked, “If I want to pester you, do you think you can escape?”
Logan was at a loss for words.
Others couldn’t say for sure.
But when it came to these war machines, it seemed that he really didn’t have the ability to resist.
Although he could take drastic measures, using harassment as an excuse to have the higher–ups forcibly take Sanya away, he knew that the overall leader of this group of war machines was Clifford.
Because of his infatuation with a war machine, Clifford became the talk of the town within his circle. As long as he firmly sided with war machines, even if Sanya was taken away, nothing would happen to her.
Logan also believed that if she was taken away once and returned later, she would only pester him even more obsessively.
He was an extremely rational person, so he would not do meaningless things.
After weighing the pros and cons, he compromised. “Alright, I’ll take this bet with you.”
‘Three months, he thought. ‘I just need to endure these three months, and things will then be fine.
“So the bet is set?” Sanya asked with a smile.
“Yes.”
Logan’s cold
gaze
then swept across Sanya, and he said, “You can go back now, right?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Sanya flopped onto the black–and–gold bed again and said, “Why should I go back? You already agreed to the bet. Doesn’t that mean you implicitly accept that I’ll be pestering you for these three months? I’m sleeping here tonight.”
As she spoke, she lay on the bed and glanced at Logan, who was standing motionless. Using the hand still restrained by the handcuffs to beckon him with a finger, she said with a smile, “Mr. Leith, why are you still standing there?
“Don’t you have to work tomorrow? There’s nowhere else to sleep at home. Come over here and sleep.”
Logan was left speechless.
He pursed his thin lips slightly, remaining stiff and unmoving.
Sanya said with a smile again, “Could it be that you’re afraid that I’ll trick you into a compromising position and extort money? I’ve considered it, but don’t be afraid. I’ve given up on that plan.
“After all, you’re a gentleman. It’s really difficult to deal with you without a solid relationship. But if it’s about using force…”
At this point, Sanya fell silent for a moment.
Her gaze suddenly swept across Logan’s entire body, her eyes gleaming with a wolf–like green luster, sending a chill down one’s spine and making the hairs stand on end.

Even Logan felt a little uneasy this time.
After all, if this girl really wanted to use force, he would definitely not be able to resist.
But in the next moment, Sanya laughed again and said, “Mr. Lei, how come your face is so pale? Are you afraid that I’ll really sleep with you?”
Logan said nothing.
“I did think about it earlier, but I then figured that with you being so upright and unyielding, you’d rather die than be dishonored if I were to use force,” Sanya said. “Wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss then? Before taking revenge, I would suffer a setback first. That’s totally not worth it, right?”
Logan remained silent.
“Come over and sleep,” Sanya continued. “I won’t touch you. I swear on your father’s life!”

Logan fell silent again, thinking, ‘You want to make my father and I turn against each other. Does my father’s life have any value as a guarantee?‘
“Still not coming over, huh?” Sanya said. “If you’re still not coming over, I’m really going to use force.”
She was all smiles but full of dominance. Raising her eyebrows, she added, “You know you’re no match for me, right?”
Logan did not respond.
As he stared intently at the smiling girl in front of him who looked kind but was extremely violent, he began to feel an intense inner conflict. It was definitely a torture for someone with a strong sense of morality to share a bed with a girl he had only seen a few times.
Even worse, this sharing of a bed was forced upon him by a woman. As a man, he had no right to resist and could only compromise and obey. This made him inexplicably think of the current plight of women.
He reckoned that most women must be in such despair and torment when facing a man with absolute power, even feeling that any attempt to resist would be futile.
He thought, ‘It is clear that enacting more protective laws for women is urgent…
His thoughts unconsciously started to drift away again…
“What are you doing?” Sanya said. “Still dilly–dallying, huh? Do you really want me to bring you here myself?”
Noticing that Logan was still dawdling, her patience was a little exhausted.
There was no response from Logan.
He then snapped out of his thoughts.
Looking at Sanya, who was overwhelmingly intimidating and villainous at this moment, he eventually chose to compromise. He let out a long sigh, then stepped forward with his long legs and walked with a posture of facing death calmly. Then, he lay down beside
“as if he had accepted his fate…
