A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645 Inhumane

That is a secret that I must keep under wraps! How did she know that I….

Suddenly, hints of wariness flashed across Anya’s eyes as she fixated her gaze on Azure. She feigned innocence and asked, “Grandma, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Since the two had completely fallen out, Azure snorted. “Don’t think you can hide those despicable and underhanded things you did from me. I have fully investigated the kidnapping drama you orchestrated last time. If I want to pursue this matter further, what you have done is considered a fraud!”

Anya was a typical egoist. Once her interests were jeopardized, she wouldn’t show mercy to the other party, whether they were her blood relatives or saviors.

Anya put on a calm pretense. “Grandma, did Christina tell you that? That despicable woman is clearly up to no good. She’s sowing discord in the Gibson family and hopes to incite internal strife. You mustn’t fall for her scheme.”

Anya had spent all the money given out by the Gibson family. Even if Azure could present evidence to prove her guilt, Anya wouldn’t return the money she had swindled.

Azure had finally seen Anya’s and Macy’s true colors. She didn’t expect them to get back on the right path either. At that moment, they needed to establish a mutually beneficial relationship to snatch the Gibson family back from Christina.

“Anya, let’s leave the past behind us. I’m just going to cut to the chase. You’re also well aware of our situation. If we continue to be at each other’s throats, none of us will gain any benefit.”

Azure’s facial expression changed entirely as if her outburst and the ferocity she had displayed earlier

were nonexistent.

“Christina wants to put your dad behind bars. If her plan succeeds, that will greatly besmirch our family’s reputation. Your wish of marrying into a wealthy family will forever remain a dream.”

Azure’s words struck Anya to the core.

Since Anya staged the kidnapping drama and conned twenty million from the Gibson family, she knew very well that once the truth was revealed, she could only rely on herself for the rest of her life.

Nigel was selfish and self-centered. He only cared about Yerek.

Sometimes, Anya wished that Nigel wouldn’t be able to return to the Stone family. That way, they would all be in the same situation, which would offer her some solace.

Macy sneered, “Nigel is just a jerk. We’ve done so much to help him this time, but did he show us any gratitude? No. If you two had a conscience, Timothy wouldn’t have disowned you.”

Azure was pricked where it hurt. She glared at Macy. “Anyway, I’ve laid out the pros and cons for you. The decision is yours, whether you want to cooperate or not. Your dad and Yerek will be part of the Stone family from now on, and I won’t let him bear the disgrace of being an illegitimate child his whole life.”

Azure turned to leave and got into a black sedan parked at the roadside. Subsequently, the vehicle sped off.

While Anya was absorbed in her thoughts, mulling over Azure’s words, someone abruptly slapped her cheek. She snapped back to reality and stared at Macy in astonishment while stomping her feet in anger. “Mom, why did you hit me?”

“I’m surprised you’re still aware I’m your mother, you damn brat! How dare you run away after swindling the money. A slap in the face is already considered very merciful. You should be grateful that you’re my daughter. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you off so easily!”

Harking back to the miserable period when Anya had run away with that money and left her to dodge the debtors alone, Macy had the urge to strangle Anya.
