Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 722 Cheap Provocation

When Azure recalled her words in detail and realized that she had struck a nerve with Timothy, she stuttered in an effort to explain. “Timothy, 1-”

Having lost his patience with her, Timothy put his foot down. “Christina is my daughter. Regardless of what she has done, you, as my mother and her elder, have never shown her any respect at all.”

At that very moment, Timothy’s hatred for Azure surged out like water that had burst its dam.

“There’s no need for you to lower yourself for Nigel’s sake. You appear to be admitting your mistake, but the reality is that this is one of your tricks. Evidently, you don’t feel as if you have done anything wrong. On the contrary, you think that those who are responsible for your current predicament are the ones who have betrayed you. Familial bonds that are insincere mean nothing to me. In fact, I don’t think Christina has done anything wrong at all. Regardless of the decisions she makes and their ensuing consequences, I will always support her unconditionally, even if it puts the future of Gibson Corporation at risk.

“There’s also one thing I must emphasize. Even though I don’t know Christina as well as Nathaniel does, I firmly believe that she’d never break the law. Also, given the Hadley family’s position, Nathaniel has no need to further crown his success with the addition of a mediocre company like Gibson Corporation. I don’t mind you feeling pessimistic about their marriage, but it’s wrong for you to sow discord between me and them. I’m no longer the same clueless cripple from fifteen years ago who is easily manipulated.”

In the end, Timothy didn’t give Azure the chance to defend herself as he coldly kicked her out of the ward.

“Going forward, there’s no need for us to see each other unless it involves a matter of life and death. That said, I will still carry out my responsibility of taking care of you in your old age as required by the law.”

The words struck Azure like lightning, causing panic to set into her.

Timothy truly wants to sever ties with me!

“Timothy, you can’t do something as heartless as this!”

As Azure’s pleas fell on deaf ears, Timothy called out to the bodyguards stationed outside, “Please escort the guest out. I want to get some rest.

Both of them were just waiting for Timothy’s cue. “Please leave, Old Mrs. Gibson.”“”

Azure realized she was powerless against the two bodyguards. There was no way she would win in a fight, regardless of whether it was physical or verbal. Now that Timothy wanted her gone, she would only end up embarrassing herself by staying.
