Chapter 691 More Trouble
Azure knew from the start that Christina was no saint. Ever since Nigel was thrown into prison, she had already prepared herself for Christina to exact revenge.
Unfortunately, she had underestimated the younger woman’s patience and heart for vengeance.
“You should never go so far as to burn your bridges completely, Christina. It won’t bring you any good.” Wary of the lawyer seated across her, Azure did her best to control her words and actions.
“Actually, it will,” Christina replied with a merciless smile. “My mom died a tragic death, and my dad had to endure over twenty years of torment because of his legs. They deserve the worst fate possible. You have no right to act all self–righteous and tell me what’s right or wrong.”
Azure was so furious that her chest hurt. How she wished she could appear on the other end of the phone and strangle Christina.
She was ignorant and had made the biggest mistake in her life, which was to acknowledge Christina as part of the Gibson family.
“I’m Timothy’s biological mother, Christina. Even if you want to get even, it’s not up to someone like you, who’s younger than me, to teach me a lesson.” Azure was only deceiving herself; deep down, she wasn’t as confident as she sounded.
The older woman had never officially visited Timothy ever since he fell unconscious and was hospitalized. She was constantly busy dealing with Nigel’s affairs and even more caught up trying to reclaim Gibson Corporation through other ways.
Even so, her plans fell through.
Now, Azure was like a helpless animal that had lost all its limbs. She wouldn’t be able to rise again no matter how hard she tried.
“My dad will be awake soon. I’ll have someone send you all documents related to the cutting of ties between you and him,” Christina added frostily and hung up.
As though struck in the head, Azure fell into a daze for a long while before finally processing what: Christina had said.
“This little brat doesn’t have any respect for me! She’s even trying to order me around!”
The woman hurled her phone with rage, but none of her complaints and troubles would evoke the lawyer’s pity.
“I’ve done what Mrs. Hadley has asked me to, Mrs. Lazuli. Please find yourself a new home and move out as soon as you can. I’ll have someone take a look at this house in a few days,” the lawyer remarked professionally.
-Not only did Christina get Victoria to have a lawyer put on such an exciting live show for her, but the
former even made another demand.
She gave Azure a grace period to move out of the Gibson residence.
The mansion indeed belonged to Azure, but she had secretly mortgaged it to help cover the losses incurred by Nigel’s company.
Christina had someone purchase the building after receiving word that Azure couldn’t afford to pay off
the loan.
Hence, the Gibson residence now belonged to Christina.
After Azure had lost her status and influence, all those so-called friends who used to butter her up removed her from their circle. Even Barnaby didn’t want her anymore, and all she could rely on now was Yerck.
Yet, what devastated her more was that she couldn’t reach Yerek, and all her possessions were now only enough to cover half a year’s worth of rent and basic living expenses.
Having lived in luxury all this while, downgrading her lifestyle was simply torture for her.
Azure sat back on the couch and responded in a demanding tone, “If Christina wants me to move out, have her come see me in person. Otherwise, no one gets to tell me what to do.”
Given his long career and having dealt with all kinds of cases, the lawyer had certainly met his fair share of people who were more shameless and unreasonable than Azure.
