A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Mine

If I can secure the support of the Stone family, my chances of winning this game will greatly increase. Without Anya holding me back, the Gibson family will be mine and mine alone!

Azure might be old, but Barnaby was a sentimental person. Clearly, they still had feelings for each other.

Yerek still believed that the reason Barnaby didn’t allow him and Nigel to return to the Stone family wasn’t due to Sheridan’s intimidation, but because Azure hadn’t put forth her best efforts to make it happen.

“I-I’ve tried everything, but Barnaby refused to say yes. Barnaby simply won’t give his consent. I’m at a loss for what to do. I can’t bring myself to cause a scene at his house, as that would only bring disgrace upon us.” Azure sounded helpless.

Azure’s pride and sense of propriety prevented her from taking such drastic measures.

Yerek sneered, “Pride means nothing when compared to wealth and power. Once I regain control of Gibson Corporation, I’ll make sure those who have belittled and mistreated us come to us and beg for our forgiveness!”

Hearing that, Azure was moved.

In her recent time of despair, she had felt the weight of everyone’s disdain upon her, particularly from her once closest friends, who mocked and ridiculed her. It was a source of immense anguish.

As a result, she became reclusive, seldom venturing outside her home. If someone hadn’t informed her about Anya’s demise, she would never have made her way to Jadeborough!

Sensing her hesitation, Yerek softened his voice. “Grandma, I’ve asked around. After Old Mr. Stone’s wife passed away, he never remarried. It seems he couldn’t forget his first love.”

Azure’s eyes widened with a mixture of shock and barely contained excitement.

Her voice trembled as she struggled to form a coherent sentence. “I-Is it really true?” she asked, her eyes welling up with tears.

Yerek replied solemnly, “I can’t guarantee it, but why don’t you have a conversation with Old Mr. Stone directly? Grandma, remember, he’s just a vulnerable human being. If you show him the extent of your suffering, he might feel compelled to help you, especially if he still harbors feelings for you.”

He had made up his mind.

Barnaby is distancing himself from us as he is prioritizing the pride of the Stone family over our well-being. I won’t let him enjoy all the benefits while we suffer. Even if he threatens me, I will do everything in my power to involve the Stone family in this mess!

Azure still couldn’t bring herself to do it. “Yerek, why don’t you let me think over this? I’ll give you an answer later.”

Yerek arched a brow in delight. After his carrot and stick approach, she was finally showing signs of caving in.

“Okay, take your time. I have work to attend to as well, so I won’t interrupt your rest. I’ll visit you when I have some free time.”

Azure replied cheerfully, “Sure. Take care of your health, for you’re my only surviving grandchild.”

The moment Yerek turned to leave, the gentle smile on his lips disappeared.

His gaze was fixated on the floor buttons in the elevator. Upon noting the one indicating the VIP wards, he pressed it.

The elevator headed upstairs and stopped on the floor housing the VIP wards.

Yerck stepped out of the elevator and fixed his gaze on the ward at the very end of the corridor.

There were two burly bodyguards guarding the door. As they chatted softly, they sensed a stranger approaching. They looked up to see Yerek steadily making his way toward them.

“Sir, is there anything you need?” One of the bodyguards extended his hand, preventing Yerek from advancing any further. “This is a VIP ward.”

Yerck said calmly. “The patient is my uncle, Timothy Gibson. I happened to be nearby and thought of paying him a visit.”

The bodyguard remained firm. “I’m sorry, but we didn’t receive any visitor list. I’m afraid you cannot
