Let Me Stay The Night

The noisy scene was interrupted by the sudden entrance of the three hostile figures.

Almost two-thirds of those present hadn’t seen Christina before, but all of them quickly recognized

Sebastian.

He was Nathaniel’s most trusted assistant. As Hadley Corporation’s second-in-command, he wielded considerable power and influence.

All this while, members of the Gibson family relied on regular dividends from Gibson Corporation to live a life of luxury and develop their own companies.

Despite being aware of the bad blood between their family and the Hadley family, they still hoped to leverage the latter’s business for greater profit.

Therefore, they only dared to disparage Christina but didn’t have the courage to do the same against Sebastian.

“Christina, a junior like you has no place to speak here!” Nigel thundered while staring daggers at Christina. “Shouldn’t you be mindful of the occasion before trying to kick up a fuss?”

Christina threw Nigel an indifferent glance before walking past him and taking her seat nearby.

Azure’s brows furrowed as if to express her disapproval of Christina’s brazen behavior.

“Christina, everyone here is an elder. How can you not greet them before sitting down? This is really rude of you.

A faint smile emerged across Christina’s face. “Mrs. Lazuli, in this modern era, the ways of the old are no longer applicable. Anyway, I didn’t come here for a family reunion. Instead, I’m here in my capacity as a competitor. Since when have you ever seen anyone behave submissively to the competition?”

Without warning, Azure slammed the table as she sprang to her feet. She then shot Timothy a piercing gaze. “Timothy, aren’t you going to teach your daughter some manners? I’m her grandmother for goodness sake!”

Timothy’s expression was nonchalant. “Christina is an adult now. I won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want. She has the right and freedom to do whatever she wants.”

“You.” Infuriated by the response she received, Azure’s words caught in her throat before she was interrupted by Christina.

I have to say later.” Wearing a gleeful smile, Christina spoke in a gentle yet threatening tone. “I’m not going to waste your time. You can still decide whether to divvy up the assets after hearing what I

I understand correctly, he seems to be saying that Azure is connected to Oswald’s death.
