Let Me Stay The Night

The previous events had severed all ties between the Gibson family and Christina.

Azure mastered the art of emotional manipulation through years of experience. To rekindle Christina’s concern for the Gibson family, she had to resort to exploiting Timothy and Christina’s biological mother.

If it weren’t for desperate circumstances, Azure wouldn’t resort to such measures. Both Timothy and Nigel were her beloved sons, and she cherished them equally. However, the former was disabled and incapable of managing the family business like the latter.

However, Azure was displeased by Christina’s indifference. “Christina, you’re still young, and there are many things you don’t understand. Regardless of your current success, when you hit rock bottom, it is your family who will be there for you, caring for you the most.”

Feeling repulsed by Azure’s lecture, Christina retorted, “There is some truth in what you say, but not everyone deserves to be called ‘family. Some use their loved ones for personal gains or tools for revenge. Such family members are better off without.”

She would never forget what the Gibsons had done to her.

If there was anyone in the Gibson family who still had a chance to win her heart back, it would be her deceased biological mother.

The Gibsons were well aware of this, which was why they shamelessly exploited the memory of her deceased mother to manipulate her. Unbeknownst to them, they had already overstepped Christina’s boundaries.

Only then did Azure suddenly realize that she could no longer manipulate Christina with familial ties.

“Christina, don’t say such spiteful things.”

Christina merely scoffed at the absurdity of Azure’s words, which left Azure at a loss for what to do.
