A Crazy Night Novel

Despite their strained relationship, Christina ensured Azure’s dignity was upheld by organizing a solemn funeral. She left no opportunity for criticism from the distant relatives of the Gibson family, who might seek to find fault in her actions.

After the funeral, those relatives departed in disappointment, realizing that they could not extract any additional benefits from Christina and Timothy.

Christina then sent Timothy home.

Before leaving, Timothy held her hand and said in a serious tone, “It’s been a tiring day for you, Christina. Thank you for everything you did. Go ahead and do whatever you desire. Don’t worry about me.”

Not only did he regain control of Gibson Corporation, but he also got his daughter back. Though the truth from fifteen years ago remained undisclosed, he was already satisfied with what he had and did not dare to ask for more.

Christina clasped Timothy’s slender hand and offered him a warm smile. “Thank you for your understanding. The promise I made to you will soon be realized. Just have faith and wait for the good

news.

Timothy bobbed his head in response. “You should go home now. Take care of yourself.”

After bidding Timothy farewell, Christina got into a car and went to the hospital.

After getting off the car, Lyle walked up to Christina and whispered, “Mrs. Hadley, I’ve uncovered the relationship between Old Mr. Stone and Winston.”

Christina calmly stepped into the elevator and said, “Tell me more.”

With no one around, Lyle felt relieved and no longer spoke cautiously. “Old Mr. Stone was Winston’s business partner during his early entrepreneurial days fifteen years ago. Back then, the Stone family was heavily involved in real estate development along the coast. To gain favor with Old Mr. Stone, Winston intentionally sold construction materials to the Stone Group at remarkably low prices. However, coincidentally, the Stone Group failed to secure a bid for a coastal development project. This outcome created the perception that the Gibsons and the Hadleys had conspired to oppress and defeat Stone Group.

Christina pondered, recalling information about the development of Stone Group. Confused, she asked, “Is Nigel aware of the friendship between Old Mr. Stone and Winston?”
