A Crazy Night Novel

Azure, fully aware of Nathaniel’s seriousness, panicked and exclaimed, “No!”

Sebastian ignored her and walked past her while she, disregarding her image, clung desperately to his legs.

Her eyes turned crimson as she locked her gaze on Christina. “Christina, I’ll tell you where your father is if you promise me to spare Nigel’s life. He’s severely injured, and the longer you delay, the greater the danger he will face!”

Feeling a painful sensation in her chest, Christina clenched her fists. She feigned nonchalance and responded, “Nigel is not faring any better. I’m certain you called a doctor in the middle of the night to tend to my father’s injuries. Between my father and Nigel, whose life do you think is more resilient?”

Nathaniel arched his brows in surprise but surprisingly did not intervene or stop her.

Christina, wielding the dagger, walked up to the unconscious Nigel, her gaze icy and fixed on Azure.

“I can easily end Nigel’s life now.” A corner of her lips quirked up. “After all, the Stones are already troubled by the existence of an illegitimate son. If I get rid of him on their behalf, I’m sure they won’t come after me.”

The mention of “illegitimate son nearly gave Azure a heart attack. She had kept this secret hidden for years, even favoring Nigel shamelessly, all because he carried the blood of her beloved man.

Even though she could not marry Barnaby, Azure believed she had triumphed over Constance in her own way. Giving birth to Barnaby’s son had been the most joyous experience since she married into the Gibson family, and she had never once regretted it.

Now that Christina held Azure’s fate in her hands, the latter had no choice but to compromise.
