Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 607 A Brewing Storm

If Timothy had said that half a year ago when she had just returned to the fold of the Gibson family, Christina would have likely believed him without a shadow of a doubt.

However, she had discerned the Gibsons‘ nature after having experienced so much then and long since realized that her kinship with them was interlinked with interests.

She only agreed to Timothy’s request to take over the mess that was Gibson Corporation because she could not bear to see the fruits of labor for which her mother sacrificed her life destroyed and stolen.

Feeling that she should make herself clear upfront to avoid repeating the same mistake, she took a sip of hot milk and stated, “I promised you to resolve the Gibson family’s problems, but that only includes you and my mother. I wasn’t speaking of the current Gibson family. Everything I’ll be doing henceforth will be for the sake of safeguarding my mother’s achievements alone.”

In response, Christina threw him a cold look. “I don’t hate you for the mistakes you did, but above all, you

have no right to blame me.”

Timothy’s face turned deathly pale, and his shoulders drooped in pain. He waited quietly for her daughter to continue speaking.

“Ever since you and Mrs. Lazuli acknowledged me as part of the Gibson family, the two of you merely regarded me as a tool for revenge. Of course, I was also at fault for failing to perceive your intentions right off the bat. Now, I no longer want to be the blade of revenge in your hands. Gibson Corporation has reaped what it sowed while I’ve gotten my freedom. The end result of this farce has been very much fair. But I’ll definitely unearth the truth of my mother’s death. No one will be able to stop me from doing so, including you.”

Christina stared right into his eyes. Like a sharp blade, the chilliness in her gaze cut through the air and struck him squarely in the chest.
