A Crazy Night

Chapter 647 Daydream

Instead of anxiously seeking Anya’s agreement, Emilia replied in a cryptic tone. “No rush. You’ll change your mind.”

With that, Emilia ended the call, leaving Anya feeling increasingly uneasy.

That b*tch, Emilia! She found herself a Plan B!

Anya was caught between Azure’s threats and Emilia’s domineering attitude. She couldn’t bear either of these injustices.

A wild idea sparked in her mind. What if… What if those troublesome individuals were to disappear? No one would find out about that secret.

The thought ignited a fire within Anya. She swiftly devised a perfect plan.

The night passed without Nathaniel. However, he had called Christina in the morning to remind her to eat and rest, promising to return in the evening to keep her company.

Since Nathaniel didn’t provide any explanation, Christina didn’t press for further details. “Okay, take care. I’ll be waiting for you.

“Instruct Lyle if you need anything.” Nathaniel quickly hung up.

Christina finished breakfast alone. As usual, she visited Timothy in the intensive care unit. After hearing the latest updates on his condition from the doctor, she decided not to return to her hospital ward to rest. Instead, she instructed Lyle to arrange for a car. She planned to visit Gibson Corporation.

Lyle secretly asked for Nathaniel’s approval before preparing a sturdy and well-protected car for Christina.

After the internal restructuring and with strong support from Hadley Corporation, Gibson Corporation’s development skyrocketed. Everything was gradually falling into place.

Christina made a brief appearance at the company. After attending to the work that had accumulated, she was just about to leave when a commotion erupted outside her office.

“I am Christina’s grandmother! You have no right to stop me! Step aside!” Azure’s furious voice penetrated the office door, reaching Christina’s ears.

Lyle consulted Christina, “Shall I ask her to leave?”

A man of action, Lyle never relied on fancy words when violence could resolve the problem.

Christina leaned against her chair. “Let her in.”

Azure would inevitably come knocking on Christina’s door unless she had found a way out for Nigel.

When Lyle walked over to the door, Azure forcefully pushed it open and stormed into the office. The sound of her high heels clacking echoed in the room.

“Christina, you’ve truly outdone yourself!” Azure disregarded the presence of others as she vented her anger at Christina. “Quickly get the police to release Nigel, and I won’t hold you and Nathaniel responsible for injuring him.”

Christina looked at her mockingly. “It seems that you still haven’t grasped the situation. You need my help now. Nigel was the one who did something wrong first. Why are you twisting the truth by claiming that my dad is the aggressor?”

Azure had enough of Christina’s haughty attitude. She had the urge to slap Christina across the face to bring her back to reality. However, upon noticing Lyle glaring at her, she felt shivers run down her spine,

She swiftly suppressed her hostility. With a stern expression, she addressed Lyle in an authoritative tone, “Leave. I need to talk to Christina about something.” Lyle did not budge, and Azure grew angry. “I told you to leave. Are you deaf?”

Lyle responded coldly, “I only take orders from Mrs. Hadley. You have no right to instruct me.”

Azure shifted her anger to Christina. “Indeed, one’s followers reflect the nature of their master.”

Christina sneered, “Mrs. Lazuli, please choose your words wisely. You are in no place to discipline my subordinates. Outsiders have no right to cause a ruckus in my territory.”

“Your territory? What a joke! If you hadn’t dragged outsiders into your fight for power, you wouldn’t have risen to power in Gibson Corporation. As long as I’m alive, I will forever be your father’s biological mother and I will forever have a place in the Gibson family. When you see me, you should address me as Grandma too.”

Christina calmly took a sip of hot milk and said with a half smile, “It’s time for you to wake up from your daydream. Even if you refuse to admit it, I now lead the Gibson family.”

“You-”

Christina forcefully slammed her cup onto the table, interrupting Azure’s words.

“Mrs. Lazuli, if you came to Gibson Corporation just to remind me that Nigel still has a share in it, then I suggest you give up on that hope sooner rather than later. I would rather see Gibson Corporation go bankrupt and sell the company at a low price to someone else than let Nigel take advantage of it.”

Azure’s lips quivered as she glared at Christina.

“Nigel has a death wish. I’m just making it happen for him. What’s wrong with that?” Christina snickered. *Spending a lifetime in prison is nothing compared to losing one’s life.”

“No, you can’t do that!” Azure’s eyes turned red. “You must release Nigel. If you don’t, neither Old Mr. Stone nor I will leave you alone!”

Christina could not even be bothered with Barnaby. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“If Old Mr. Stone is that powerful, why didn’t he let Nigel return to his real family after his identity has been revealed for so long?” Christina exposed Azure, revealing the naked truth. “There’s only one answer -the Stones disagree.”

Azure grabbed the milk on the table and splashed it onto Christina’s face, catching both Christina and Lyle off guard.

Lyle, who saw no value in respecting the elderly, grabbed Azure’s neck from behind and dragged her away from the desk.

Feeling that her neck was about to break, Azure gasped for air as fear filled her bulging eyes.

Christina calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped the milk stains off her face and clothes. Only then did she look at Azure.

“Lyle, let her go. I don’t want to dirty my office.”

He flung Azure to the ground as though she was a piece of rubbish.

Azure continued to tremble in fear. She took a few steps back before scrambling to her feet and leaving the office.

It was only when she ran out of Gibson Corporation and into a car by the roadside that she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

That was terrifying! That man actually wanted to kill me!

Azure took a few breaths and dialed a number on her phone. With her voice trembling uncontrollably, she said, “You must help me this time, Barn. Christina has pushed me to the point where I have no other option!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make Christina beg you.” Barnaby’s deep and calm voice echoed in Azure’s ears, calming her down.
