Chapter 608 The Division Of Assets
For some inexplicable reason, Yerek’s words had a tidal wave of uneasiness flooding Nigel, Yerek, and Anya.
However, they were already close to a complete fallout when they ambushed Timothy without any regard for the situation for the sake of an explanation. Right then, all that was left between them were schemes and wariness. D
Azure glanced at the photo on the tombstone. Her expression took on a note of discomfiture, and she tried to smooth things over.
“This is a family matter, so let’s talk about it at home. Let’s not disturb Veronica.”
Hearing that, Timothy scoffed with a sneer, “The lot of you had the audacity to kick up trouble at the cemetery, and now you’re actually considering other people’s feelings? How shameless of you to say something like that.”
At that blatant insult, Azure’s face went as black as thunder. “Do you still regard me as your mother, Timothy?” D
Timothy stared right into her eyes and retorted, “What about you, then? Have you been regarding me as your biological son over the years? Or have you been treating me as a piece of trash?”
“What do you mean by that, Timothy? If there’s something you want to say, cut straight to the chase. There’s no need to beat around the bush and make insinuations about me and Mom!” Nigel thundered. He had a strong sense of foreboding that the situation had already spiraled out of his control, and Timothy had changed.
Timothy’s sharp and icy gaze lingered on everyone there. Subsequently, a feral smirk bloomed on his face.
“Jasper, show them the documents for them to have the explanation they want!”
With that, Jasper opened his briefcase and took out a document before holding it out to Nigel.
Nigel snatched it right out of the man’s hand. The instant he laid eyes on the contents of the document, shock and fear showed on his face.
“What is…?” Azure shot out a hand and grabbed it. Suddenly, her voice trailed off, and her hand holding the document shook imperceptibly.
Standing beside her, Yerek inevitably glimpsed the contents of the document.
At the guilty expression on their faces, Anya stepped forward in puzzlement. “Oh, my God! Yerek… is actually my biological brother?” she exclaimed.
-Before her voice had even rung out, something abruptly occurred to her. She furiously cut her gaze at Nigel and started cursing him out while jabbing a finger in his face.
“How dare you cheat on Mom and have an illegitimate child out there!”
The fact that Yerek was Nigel’s illegitimate child was a secret Nigel could never allow to come to light. Having been hit where it hurt, Nigel backhanded Anya across the face. “Shut up! Have you no conscience
left! How dare you criticize me!” (
Anya cradled her swollen cheek and glared at her father hotly. “Why are you bothered by the truth when you dared do such a thing? Not only am I going to tell Mom about this, but I’m also going to spread the news and let everyone know that your persona of a loving husband is fake!”
Since she was young, her mother had drilled into her that the entire Gibson family would belong to her in the future. Even Yerek, who had been adopted into the family, had no right to compete with her.
Christina’s existence already made her situation difficult enough. With another biological brother, her share of the assets would be reduced by more than half.
“Anya, don’t forget that it was thanks to Yerek and your father that you managed to survive the kidnapping,” Azure chided. Then, she continued, “You seem agitated. Go home and calm yourself down first. You don’t have to be here.”
With her eyes bloodshot, Anya glared at everyone maliciously before she whirled around resentfully and stalked off.
