A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 607

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.”

A bitter smile tugged at Timothy’s lips. I listened to baseless slander and was blinded to the truth, once conspiring with others to plot against her multiple times. I’m unworthy to be her father, much less in any position to reprimand

her!

He parted his lips in embarrassment. “It’s only natural that you hate me, Christina. I don’t blame you it. I’m sorry.”

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.

Timothy’s heart abruptly lurched. He lowered his head guiltily, appearing to be deliberately avoiding her gaze so that she could not read his thoughts.

A derisive smirk curved Christina’s lips. After finishing the sandwich on the plate before her, she placed her cutlery down.

“I’m done eating. When are we leaving for the cemetery?”

Timothy jolted out of his jumbled thoughts. “We can leave right—”

Before he had finished speaking, Jasper, who had just taken a call, strode over. He leaned down and murmured something into Timothy’s ear. At once, Timothy’s brows creased deeply. A glimmer of rage glinted in his eyes.

Sipping at the hot milk, Christina alternated her gaze between the two men.

A moment later, Timothy looked at her. “Christina, something urgent came up at home, and I need to

make a trip back to deal with it. Rest at the hotel first. I’ll call you in a while. It won’t take much time.”

Christina gave a dip of her head. “Okay.”

Jasper then wheeled Timothy away.

Seeing that, Sebastian stepped forward and asked, “Do you have any plans next, Mrs. Hadley?”

Christina cast a glance at Lyle. “Follow them secretly and find out what happened at the Gibson residence. Ensure my father’s safety. He’s a key character to me right now.”
