Let Me Stay The Night

Timothy uttered coldly. “Say it.”

“Mr. Yerck and Mr. Nigel are indeed father and son Jasper continued, “I’ve asked someone to investigate Mr. Yerek’s identity, and he’s confirmed to be Mr. Nigel’s illegitimate child. Mr. Nigel was wary of Mrs. Gibson’s influential natal family, so he did not recognize Mr. Yerek as a member of his household. However, Mr. Nigel didn’t want his only son to be homeless, so he tricked you into adopting Mr. Yerek.”

Surely, a more complex and insidious scheme is involved behind the scenes. It seems like I’ve underestimated my brother. There was no need for Jasper to state it explicitly. Timothy could connect the dots and was quite confident in his guess.

Although Nigel was the one who managed Gibson Corporation, it still belonged to Timothy. If the latter could not locate his biological daughter. Yerck, the adopted son, would become the next-in-line to inherit.

That way, after retiring from Gibson Corporation, Nigel could still stay in power and run the company through Yerek

Consequently, the entire Gibson family would be in Nigel’s control. He could effortlessly enjoy the fruits of Timothy and his wife’s hard work. On the contrary, Timothy would continue to be seen as a useless piece of trash whom others criticize and despise.

Bang!

Timothy angrily swept a desk lamp off the table. The loud crashing noise made Jasper, who was on the other side of the line, fall into a brief moment of silence.

Jasper asked worriedly, “Mr. Gibson, are you okay?”

Timothy asked, “Who else knows about this matter besitles you and me?”

“Mr. Yerek and Mrs. Lazuli had known this secret a long time ago.”

Timothy took a deep breath upon hearing that. A determined look flashed across his reddened eyes, and he said, “Jasper, help me look into one more thing…”

After leaving Jasper with some instructions, Timothy hung up the phone. He sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, uncapped a bottle of whiskey, and downed almost half of it while looking at the dazzling city lights.

At that moment, he recalled what Christina told him.
