Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 741 Cat Is Out Of The Bag

There could only be two reasons Azure sought him out. It was either for Nigel or for Yerek.

Timothy had lost count of how many times Azure came pleading for Nigel’s case. His patience was wearing thin from her repetitive and selfish act.

“You want me to provide a letter of forgiveness for Nigel?” Timothy’s voice was gentle, but his eyes lacked any hint of warmth.

Azure thought he was considering her proposal. Her spirit was lifted, and her gaze on Timothy softened with renewed affection.

“Yes. If you find the writing tedious, I can ask someone else to draft it for you. All you need to do is sign the letter,” Azure said.

A derisive smile crossed Timothy’s face. “What do you presume I could possibly write in such a letter?”

A cold prickle of dread stung Azure’s heart at his words, but before she could retort, Timothy ruthlessly tore through her façade of selfishness.

“Shall I write how Nigel has been vying for the Gibson family’s power, schemed the death of my wife, leading to my physical impairment and enduring mental torture for fifteen years? Or how Nigel abused his position, transferring assets in an attempt to secure his position, even contemplating murder when it

failed? Every single crime that Nigel committed was a life’s worth of atonement. Even if I were to provide this letter, do you think a judge would acknowledge it?” Timothy mocked.

Azure’s lips trembled, and she remained silent for a long while before she managed to choke out a coherent response.

“Even if Nigel is released early, he won’t pose any threat to you and Christina. The Gibson family will still belong to you,” she reasoned.

“The Gibson family has always belonged to Christina and me. You don’t even have the right to mention Gibson Corporation,” Timothy spat.

Azure continued to make her case and said, “Yes, I admit my selfishness contributed to today’s tragedy. Timothy, I can confidently tell you that Barnaby has agreed to acknowledge Nigel as his son. If Nigel wishes to compete in the future, it will be for the Stone family’s assets. He won’t interfere in the Gibson family’s affairs.”
