A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 Emotional Baggage

Timothy uttered coldly. “Say it.”

“Mr. Yerck and Mr. Nigel are indeed father and son Jasper continued, “I’ve asked someone to investigate Mr. Yerek’s identity, and he’s confirmed to be Mr. Nigel’s illegitimate child. Mr. Nigel was wary of Mrs. Gibson’s influential natal family, so he did not recognize Mr. Yerek as a member of his household. However, Mr. Nigel didn’t want his only son to be homeless, so he tricked you into adopting Mr. Yerek.”

Surely, a more complex and insidious scheme is involved behind the scenes. It seems like I’ve underestimated my brother. There was no need for Jasper to state it explicitly. Timothy could connect the dots and was quite confident in his guess.

Although Nigel was the one who managed Gibson Corporation, it still belonged to Timothy. If the latter could not locate his biological daughter. Yerck, the adopted son, would become the next-in-line to inherit.

That way, after retiring from Gibson Corporation, Nigel could still stay in power and run the company through Yerek

Consequently, the entire Gibson family would be in Nigel’s control. He could effortlessly enjoy the fruits of Timothy and his wife’s hard work. On the contrary, Timothy would continue to be seen as a useless piece of trash whom others criticize and despise.

Bang!

Timothy angrily swept a desk lamp off the table. The loud crashing noise made Jasper, who was on the other side of the line, fall into a brief moment of silence.

Jasper asked worriedly, “Mr. Gibson, are you okay?”

Timothy asked, “Who else knows about this matter besitles you and me?”

“Mr. Yerek and Mrs. Lazuli had known this secret a long time ago.”

Timothy took a deep breath upon hearing that. A determined look flashed across his reddened eyes, and he said, “Jasper, help me look into one more thing…”

After leaving Jasper with some instructions, Timothy hung up the phone. He sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, uncapped a bottle of whiskey, and downed almost half of it while looking at the dazzling city lights.

At that moment, he recalled what Christina told him.

Had I been calm and sober back then, I would have understood the meaning of Christina’s words. Yerek is Nigel’s biological son! Those people bogged me down with emotional shackles and played me like a fool just because I’m handicapped!

Timothy took a large swig of whiskey as he recalled all the outrageous things he had done to Christina together with his family, and it made him want to slap himself hard on the face.

Christina doesn’t recognize me as her father, and this is the retribution for my actions. It’s karma!

“I’m sorry, Veronica. I’m sorry for doing those things to our daughter.” Timothy covered his eyes sobbed in pain.

That night. Azure could not sleep at all. After calling all her close friends, she managed to collect only a few million.

The deadline set by the kidnappers was fast approaching. Left with no choice, Azure resorted to seeking Timothy’s help. She knocked on his room door, wanting to apologize and persuade him to sell the property and raise the much-needed funds.

She stood outside his room and rang the bell for quite a while, but Timothy did not answer the door.

Then, she tried calling his phone, but no one picked up.

Right then, the hotel housekeeping staff came over with a cleaning cart. “Madam, the guest in this room has checked out early in the morning.”

Azure was shocked. “He has left? When did he check out?”

The cleaner replied. “Around three in the morning.”
