Let Me Stay The Night

Azure knew from the start that Christina was no saint. Ever since Nigel was thrown into prison, she had already prepared herself for Christina to exact revenge.

Unfortunately, she had underestimated the younger woman’s patience and heart for vengeance.

“You should never go so far as to burn your bridges completely, Christina. It won’t bring you any good.” Wary of the lawyer seated across her, Azure did her best to control her words and actions.

“Actually, it will,” Christina replied with a merciless smile. “My mom died a tragic death, and my dad had to endure over twenty years of torment because of his legs. They deserve the worst fate possible. You have no right to act all self–righteous and tell me what’s right or wrong.”

Azure was so furious that her chest hurt. How she wished she could appear on the other end of the phone and strangle Christina.

She was ignorant and had made the biggest mistake in her life, which was to acknowledge Christina as part of the Gibson family.

“I’m Timothy’s biological mother, Christina. Even if you want to get even, it’s not up to someone like you, who’s younger than me, to teach me a lesson.” Azure was only deceiving herself; deep down, she wasn’t as confident as she sounded.

The older woman had never officially visited Timothy ever since he fell unconscious and was hospitalized. She was constantly busy dealing with Nigel’s affairs and even more caught up trying to reclaim Gibson Corporation through other ways.

Even so, her plans fell through.

Now, Azure was like a helpless animal that had lost all its limbs. She wouldn’t be able to rise again no matter how hard she tried.

“My dad will be awake soon. I’ll have someone send you all documents related to the cutting of ties between you and him,” Christina added frostily and hung up.

As though struck in the head, Azure fell into a daze for a long while before finally processing what: Christina had said.

“This little brat doesn’t have any respect for me! She’s even trying to order me around!”

The woman hurled her phone with rage, but none of her complaints and troubles would evoke the lawyer’s pity.
