Chapter 540 Careful Calculation
Once this accusation was proven to be true, the Gibson family would fall from grace.
With the fallout between the Gibson family and the Hadley family and the pending court case looming over them. Timothy knew that it was no longer possible to control Nathaniel through Christina.
As the Gibson family’s power and influence fell into Nigel’s family, the Hadley family canceled many of their investments in Gibson Corporation. Moreover, Nigel’s failure to address Gibson Corporation’s problems nearly pushed the company to the brink of collapse.
Because of that, Timothy’s impression of his younger brother, Nigel fell drastically. To him, Nigel was no longer a man who could take charge, but an incapable blockhead that was beyond help.
Gibson Corporation was founded by Timothy. He had poured his heart and soul into the company, sacrificing even his wife and his own future in the process.
Not wanting to surrender to fate, Timothy had been secretly attending rehabilitation sessions.
Luckily for Timothy, Nathaniel ran into some trouble after he filed the appeal against Gibson Corporation. With the case at a standstill, Gibson Corporation was given a chance to catch its breath. Even though Timothy was far away in Hallsbay, he was acutely aware of what was happening in Jadeborough.
Although Christina was his own daughter, she came second to his need for revenge.
As Timothy was contemplating ways to get closer to Nathaniel, the latter sent one of his men to escort Timothy to Jadeborough for the two of them to meet.
Despite the indisputable fact that Jadeborough was Nathaniel’s territory. Timothy was not the least bit intimidated. He knew that no matter how angry Nathaniel was with the Gibson family, he was still their son-in-law and could not bring himself to destroy the family.
However, it was worth noting that the Gibson family’s elders had yet to acknowledge Nathaniel as son-in-law.

It was exactly because of that that Timothy had the guts to pretend nothing had happened. In the name of cooperation, he set aside his enmity with the Hadley family and ignored everyone else’s opinion, coming to negotiate with Nathaniel alone.
To his surprise, Nathaniel acted unexpectedly and did not play along with Timothy’s plan. He led Timothy around in circles and even insulted the Gibson family.
Timothy said in a deep voice, “Nathaniel, don’t talk nonsense. The Gibson family always does business righteously. How could we have ordered a murder?”
Righteously, huh? That word has nothing to do with the Gibson family at all.
Nathaniel tamed the sarcastic flame burning in him. He casually twisted the ring on his hand and replied, “Don’t get angry now. I’m just saying that if the Gibson family really is innocent, nothing will happen to the Gibson family even if others are trying to frame you, right?”
Timothy knew that Nathaniel was covertly trying to set him up. He refused to fall for the latter’s tricks.
If it hadn’t been for Nigel and those other idiots who offered to collaborate with Nathaniel for the sake of peace, the Gibson family would not be in this position right now, and Timothy wouldn’t have to stay here. and act according to Nathaniel’s mood.
“If you have something to say, just be direct with me. There’s no need to beat around the bushes,” Timothy stated. He did not expect himself to be able to resolve the mess or revive the Gibson family’s reputation in front of Nathaniel, anyway.
“Ever since you got here, you had not once asked about Christina,” Nathaniel pointed out with an empty smile. “Since that’s the way you are, there’s no need for us to carry on. Sebastian, please see our guest out.”
Nathaniel’s mood changed faster than Timothy could blink.
Timothy was certain now that he had been tricked. He gritted his teeth and retorted, “Ever since you brought Christina back, you’ve kept her hidden away. Even if I asked, would you tell me the truth? It would be better for me to check on her myself.”
