Let Me Stay The Night

Emilia?

Azure had met Emilia a few times, but she did not think too highly of the latter. To Azure, a woman who would do anything for money was of no importance.

“Where’s the proof?” Azure was not stupid. “Are you trying to use me to get rid of Emilia? That’s why you’re so willing to tell me who Anya’s murderer is.”

“If that’s what you want to believe, then I can do nothing about it,” said Christina. “Mrs. Lazuli, it’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not. You can hunt for the evidence by yourself. If there’s nothing else, please leave.”

Christina then got up and walked toward the stairs. Azure’s angry voice rang out.

“Christina, stop right there. I still have something to ask you.” Azure went up to grab hold of her. “Where have you hidden your father? I want to see him.”

Azure had come to look for Christina on the pretext of finding out what happened to Anya. In truth, she was looking for Timothy.

She believed that Timothy still had a conscience and would not ignore her.

Christina’s face fell at the mention of Timothy, and she glared at Azure.

“You have never cared whether my father was dead or alive. Now that Nigel is in prison, Anya is dead, Yerek is busy saving himself, and Barnaby doesn’t want you anymore, you place your last hopes on my father. What a great idea.”

Christina’s words cut Azure’s heart like a razor-sharp knife.

Without her expensive jewelry and clothes, Azure no longer looked dignified and virtuous. Her haggard face had aged by a decade, and she looked far worse than most women her

Christina could tell that Azure had been suffering during this period, and it was precisely why Azure wanted to find out the whereabouts of Timothy.

Azure was utterly humiliated. She looked away and mumbled, “Of course, I’m concerned about him. He’s also my son. You have the least right to pass comment on me.”
