A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Azure was skeptical of Christina’s words. To prove she hadn’t made a mistake, she immediately dialed Barnaby’s number, only to find that his phone had been unreachable.

Unwilling to give up, Azure summoned Chandler and asked, “Did something happen to Old Mr. Stone? I haven’t been able to reach him on his phone.”

The butler, who had just spoken to Barnaby, knew that there was only one reason why no one answered the phone: Barnaby was ignoring her on purpose.

He replied calmly. “Perhaps he’s busy.”

Since Barnaby was on vacation, he had left Stone Corporation in Sheridan’s hands. No matter how busy Barnaby was, he could definitely still spare a moment to answer her call.

Although Azure was almost convinced by what Christina had said, she couldn’t give up completely without having witnessed it personally first.

“Deliver a message to Old Mr. Stone. I wish to meet him in person.”

“All right. I will convey your message as soon as possible.”

“That’s not enough. I must meet him latest by tomorrow.”

“I will do my best. I suppose you understand Old Mr. Stone’s temperament well. He dislikes others disturbing him during his vacation.”

He actually thinks that I’m being unreasonable?

Azure’s frustration caused a pang in her heart. However, she couldn’t afford to have a falling out with Barnaby’s subordinates at this point.

Once she successfully met Barnaby, she would have various ways to deal with that annoying butler.

“Remove all this food from the ward. I need to rest. Once you’ve tidied up, you may leave,” ordered Azure as she turned around and lay down.

Chandler summoned the caretaker in to clean up the mess on the floor before silently leaving the ward.

“Old Mr. Stone, Mrs. Lazuli wishes to meet you tomorrow.” The butler called Barnaby in the hospital corridor. “Mrs. Hadley visited half an hour ago. They had a lengthy conversation in the ward. They seemed to have talked about Mr. Nigel’s return to the family. Mrs. Lazuli still has feelings for you.”

If Barnaby heard that Azure was still in love with him in the past, he would have been so overjoyed that he wouldn’t be able to sleep.

However, he felt troubled now. He couldn’t allow a woman he had loved in the past to jeopardize his family’s reputation or undermine his authority in front of the younger family members.

“Tell her that I am busy preparing for my mother’s birthday celebration. It’s inconvenient for me to meet her. Let her rest well. If she needs any money, fulfill her requests. Just ignore everything else. When the time is right, you can come back.”

“Understood.”

That day, the butler found an opportunity to inform Azure about Barnaby’s refusal to meet her. She threw such a huge tantrum in the hospital ward that news even reached Christina.

Christina was not surprised.

Azure had masqueraded as a virtuous wife and mother for so many years. Now that everyone knew that Nigel was an illegitimate child, she would become a laughing stock should she continue with her act.

“Next week marks the hundredth birthday of the Stone family elder?” When Christina was browsing her phone, she saw that almost half of the news headlines were dedicated to the upcoming grand banquet hosted by the Stone family. Suddenly, she had a different idea.
