Chapter 644 A Lousy Excuse

Christina refused to allow anyone to disrupt Timothy’s peace in a public place like this.

“You want to seek justice? Sure, I’ll fulfill your wish today. Let me find another place and clear things up: with you all.”

Anya very much wanted to let the whole world know. She fumed, “There’s no need to find another place. 1 want to reveal everything right here, in front of your father. What is it? Are you afraid I’ll say things that are to your disadvantage? Christina, you shouldn’t have done it if you didn’t want anyone to find out. What’s wrong with letting everyone know about what absurd things you’ve done?”

Azure silently cursed Anya for being an idiot. Nevertheless, she did not attempt to stop her. To her, Anya was no longer someone of importance that she held close to her heart but a nobody.

She thought she had made the wrong judgment back then for assuming that Anya could take on a big responsibility and help Nigel and Yerek in their careers in the future. Little did she imagine that Anya was lacking in foresight and could only come up with petty schemes, just like her vain and materialistic mother.

Christina’s back was hurting from standing too long. She was in a loose-fit hospital gown, layered with a men’s coat, her outfit perfectly hiding her baby bump. Worried that she would expose her pregnancy, she dared not exhibit excessive movements in front of them.

I must get out of this situation as soon as possible!

“Nigel joined forces with Mrs. Lazuli to scheme against my father and kidnap him. His life is still in danger after getting beaten to a pulp by Nigel.” Christina looked at Azure, whose expression contorted. “You all better pray that nothing happens to my father.

Otherwise, I’ll surely make you pay.”

Christina’s version of the story was different from Azure’s.

Anya and Macy were more willing to believe in the latter. Even if things were like what Christina said, they had to insist that it was Timothy’s fault.

They knew they must not let anything happen to Nigel. If not, their plan of using the Stone family to make a comeback would come to naught.

As long as Barnaby was willing to recognize Nigel as his son, they would have nothing to fear about the Stone family.

Anya argued, “Do you have evidence that my dad and grandma were the ones who kidnapped and injured your father?

Contrarily, I have a witness to prove that you brought people to my dad’s mansion, and you and Nathaniel eventually landed him in the hospital.”

Christina could not care less about the witness Anya had just mentioned. “There are traces of my father’s blood in the basement of Nigel’s mansion. The police can gather evidence at the scene to run further checks. I’ve already made a report. We’ll soon find out who between the two of us is lying.”

It was Azure’s intention to blow things out of proportion. However, she had never thought of bringing the police into the picture.

Anxiety surged within her, and hints of guilt and fear flashed in her eyes as she looked at Christina.

Without a choice, she quickly tried to intervene. “Anya, since she strives for justice as much as we do, we should patiently wait for the official notice.”

She then left hastily without turning back.

“Just you wait, Christina!” Anya grabbed Macy’s hand and strode out.

The commotion was finally over. Christina turned to the crowd and said apologetically. “I’m sorry for causing trouble to everyone here. This happened because of me. If anyone is affected because of this, feel free to approach me for reimbursement on your medical bills and any losses.”

Anya was unaware that Christina had used the opportunity to win the hearts of the onlookers. She caught up to Azure and asked, “Grandma, why did you agree to that b*tch’s suggestion? There were so many onlookers. She couldn’t have possibly insisted that her father didn’t attempt to harm my dad, could she?”

Macy, too, was unhappy about how Azure had chickened out. “Nigel is still in the hospital waiting for us to bring the medical fees.

His face is severely wounded, and he will need several rounds of big operations to reconstruct his facial bones. It’ll cost at least a few million for that. We’re no longer as rich as before. If we don’t demand compensation from Christina, where do you expect Anya and I to find that money?”

Azure’s face flushed with rage as she chastised, “Do you not remember the favors the Specker family received from Nigel back then? It’s time the Specker family repays Nigel’s kindness now that he’s met with difficulties. It’s just several millions of medical fees. Go back and ask them for it. I’m sure your family will be able to raise that amount unless they are all a bunch of ingrates!”

Azure’s words were directed at Macy as well. In truth, the latter had held a grudge against Nigel after he heartlessly dumped her.

She believed it was all retribution that he ended up in such a predicament now, Unlike how obedient and flattering she usually was, Macy raised her voice and refuted, “What right do you have to call us ingrates? Nigel was the one who did evil first. Go and ask that darned man. When something happened, he took that illegitimate son of his and ran away. Did you two ever care about Anya and me?”

Anya had never seen Macy lose her temper before. Stunned, she remained fixated on the spot as she watched Macy lash out at Azure.

“Now that you can no longer rely on the Stone family, are you and Nigel trying to play the same old trick from ten years ago to snatch back the power of the Gibson family from Timothy? Do you think you can fool me by finding such a lousy excuse? I know very well that it was Nigel who wanted to kill Timothy. If not for the fact that I can get a sum of money from Christina, I’ll never let you use me as a pawn. Do you really think you’re still the head of the Gibson family? Hahaha! Seriously?”

Azure slapped Macy across her face. “Shut up! Is this how the Specker family teaches you to behave?“

Misery and hardships had long snuffed out Macy’s glamor and manners. The materialistic world had made her turn into a petty woman.

Hysteria glistened in her eyes as she spat a mouthful of blood at Azure. “I’ll make things clear today. I won’t go home and beg for any money because of Nigel. I can divorce that heartless b*stard if you want me to, but I want two-thirds of his assets.

Otherwise, I’ll wait for you to cling to the Stone family while I retain my position as Nigel’s wife. If any of you dares to lay a finger on me, I’ll publicize all the despicable acts Nigel has done all these years. I want the world to know how a well-educated and reputable woman like you have cruelly harmed your eldest son to protect your illegitimate son.”

Anya’s impression of Azure fell to rock bottom after she listened to Macy’s shocking confession.

She had naively thought Azure would truly stand on her side, given how the latter had contacted her and painstakingly persuaded her to return.

It turned out that she and Macy were merely just pawns Azure used to hurt others.

Azure had never been threatened in her life. Having been provoked by Macy, she blurted out what she had been hiding deep inside her heart, “Your daughter is guilty of arson and murder. If you do that, I’ll spread the secrets of what your daughter has done!”
