Azure’s expression clouded over as she remarked sternly. “Anya. I know this may be hard for you to accept at the moment, but Christina is part of the Gibson family. She’s my granddaughter, and this is an indisputable fact.”
Having been lectured by her headstrong grandmother, Anya dared not retaliate.
I’ll just go along with her for now. So what if Christina ends up being part of the household? I have my ways to kick
her out.
With that in mind, she concealed the displeasure on her face and put on a well-behaved demeanor. “You’re right, Grandma. I’ll be sure to get along with Christina.”
Hearing that, Azure nodded in satisfaction. “I’m glad you understand where I’m coming from. Be nice to
each other.”
“Anything you say!” Anya replied cutely, placing her head on the elderly woman’s shoulder.
Azure’s birthday arrived in the blink of an eye.
Christina put on a stunning gown that was tailored to fit her perfectly, and it had a slit that revealed her slender legs. With the dress and a pair of heels on, she looked like a princess from a fairy tale,
The woman grabbed the present she had prepared, left her office, and headed straight to Azure’s mansion by car.
Guests had filled the entire front yard by the time she arrived, and the place was filled with sounds of chattering and laughter. Even so, everyone’s gazes fell on Christina as soon as she walked in.
Anya, who was in the middle of talking to her friends, instantly looked grim as she saw the woman.
She’s actually wearing the latest high-end gown and limited edition heels? Everything she has on costs more than what I’m wearing! Why is she dressed as if she’s the host? She’s just a guest!
“Christina Steele? What is she doing here?” Elizabeth thought she was seeing things.
“You know her?” Anya asked in return, not mentioning Christina’s true identity.
“I don’t just know her. I despise her.” Elizabeth stated matter-of-factly.
“What a coincidence! I hate her too.” A smirk crept across Anya’s face. The mere thought of Christina embarrassing her made her blood boil.
Then, she leaned into Elizabeth’s car. “How about we think of a way to mess with her?”
The two women exchanged glances and smiled, clearly having the exact same idea in mind.
As Christina walked into the living room and spotted Azure in the middle of a conversation with other guests, she stood nearby and waited patiently.
Before long, the old woman noticed her and exchanged a few more pleasantries with the guests before walking over to her. “Christinal You look so gorgeous today.”
“Thank you. I wish you the happiest of birthdays. May you always be in good health,” Christina responded. while handing her gift over.

Chapter 439 Christina Is Part Of The Gibson Family
“That’s so thoughtful of you. It’s almost time to cut the cake. I want you next to me when that happens.” Azure requested with a smile so tender that one couldn’t bear to turn her down.
“Sure, Mrs. Lazul” Christina was slightly puzzled. Does the like me just because she’s proud of the dress I made for her, or is she trying to be nice hoping that I wouldn’t dwell on Anya’s little antics? Well, I guess I’ll find out by the end of this party
Christina didn’t enjoy socializing, so she found a spot and sat down.
Then. Anya and Elizabeth approached her and took a seat at the same table.
Elizabeth placed a glass of red wine in front of her. “What a coincidence seeing you here! Let’s have a drink together.”
Christina merely eyed the glass. “We’re not so close that we’d drink together, are we?” she asked frostily.
There was no way she would drink the red wine when these two women had such malicious looks on their faces.
Anya tensed up. “Are you seriously going to turn down someone’s generosity, Christina?”
