My Fair Stunner novel (Faye and Colin)
Chapter 265 Negotiation

Chapter 265 Negotiation

Outsiders all thought Colin and Hank were brothers who were in a good relationship.

But they both knew clearly that they were pretending to love and respect each other.

If it weren't for Old Mr. Farrell, they would have long fallen out.

Hearing Colin greeting him in a friendly tone, Hank paused for a while and sneered, "Colin, Drop the act!"

Colin raised his eyebrows beside the window and said calmly, "I did not expect you to take the initiative to stop pretending."

Hank ignored his sarcasm, took a deep breath, and asked, "Where's Lance?"

Colin glanced sideways at Lance who was lying motionlessly on the ground and replied with a smirk, "He was knocked out. But I think he has regained consciousness. He is pretending to be unconscious now because he is a coward."

When Colin was speaking, Lance's eyelids trembled.

He hadn't expected Colin had found that he was awake, but even though his pretending had been seen through, he couldn't open his eyes immediately.

However, Andy was curious, so after hearing Colin's words, he stepped forward and kicked Lance twice.

Andy was good at fighting, and his kick was forceful, but Lance gritted his teeth to remain motionless.

Seeing this, Colin showed a half-smile and said, "Don't kill him."

Andy replied, "Yes, Mr. Farrell."

Then, Colin turned his head to look out through the window and continued talking to Hank, saying, "Hank, don't worry. I know you value him very much, so I won't kill him easily." Hank asked, "What's your condition? Name it!"

Colin replied, "Since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush either. Do you know anything about the accident of Faye's parents?"

Hearing this, Hank froze for a few seconds because he couldn't believe it, and then he asked in surprise, "You set up such a big trap just to help Faye investigate her parents' death?"

Colin didn't answer his question but said in a deep voice, "Hank, when I ask you a question, you just need to give me the answer."

Hank was stunned and then replied, "If I say I don't know anything, will you believe me?"

Colin said, "I have no time to waste. You will have a minute. Think about it carefully before you answer."

Hank fell silent.

After they had been stuck in a stalemate for about half a minute, Hank took the initiative to say, "I guess you should have found that the car accident had something to do with the Farrells. I don't know the reason, and I'm not interested in it, but I'm sure our father was involved."

Colin sneered, "What about your mother?"

Hank fell silent again, so Colin smiled mockingly and said, "Hank, I heard that you just got a new energy project recently. Can you still invest in it after you lost so much money?"

Hank took a breath and asked, "You want me to give you the project?"

Colin sneered contemptuously, "I want to share your burden."

Hank gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Colin said, "As for the matter in Abbot's wharf, find a scapegoat as soon as possible. He will call the police after two hours."

Then, he moved the phone away from his ear, hung it up, turned around, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

Later, Abbot came over from the dining room with a plate of spaghetti and asked, "Have you talked with Hank?"

Colin threw the phone onto the coffee table and said, "Yeah."

Abbot sat down on the armrest of the sofa and said, "If you ask Ethan to help you sue them for smuggling, he can let Hank be imprisoned for at least ten years. Why did you let him go so easily?" Colin took a pack of cigarettes out of Abbot's pocket, put one cigarette into his mouth, lit it, took a puff, and said slowly, "Do you think Hank is an idiot who has no plan B?"

Abbot was puzzled and said, "Since he has a plan B, why did he agree to your conditions?"

Colin replied, "Because he wants to avoid trouble, and..."

Colin didn't finish his sentence but raised his chin.

After Abbot followed his gaze and saw Lance who was pretending to be unconscious on the ground, he nodded knowingly.

People had friends, and Hank was no exception.

Therefore, he was willing to give up a little money to save Lance. After all, his key interests would not be harmed.

But if Colin sued him for smuggling, he would find a way to exonerate himself to avoid being imprisoned for ten years.

At that time, his confidant Lance would be made his fall guy.

Moreover, given the relationship between Lance and Hank, they must have made a complete plan before Lance had come here in person. If Hank got in trouble, Lance would probably take the initiative to put all the blames on himself.

After breakfast, they set off back to Cocanel.

Lance was sitting in the passenger seat with his hands tied, but he still accosted Andy with a smirk, "Andy, you are so good at fighting. Where did you learn those skills? I want to learn them too." Andy kept silent.

Lance said, "I bet you're very popular among young women. I heard that many young women nowadays like cold men."

Andy looked at Colin in the rearview mirror and said, "Mr. Farrell, he's too noisy."

Colin teased, "What do you want to do?"

Andy's plan was simple and violent, so he replied, "I want to knock him out."

Colin smiled, "OK."

Lance was speechless.
