Chapter 669 A Desperate Situation
Macy would rather someone end her misery with a swift blow rather than beg Christina for forgiveness.
“No, I will never beg Christina!” Macy shouted. “That old man Barnaby doesn’t even acknowledge Mrs. Lazuli. If he had any conscience, Nigel wouldn’t have ended up in prison. The members of the Stone family are selfish and only care about themselves. They would gladly disassociate themselves from Nigel. Dad, considering the help Nigel provided our family in the past, please save Anya. I beg you! I’ll even kneel before you!”
She crawled over and knelt before Vladimir, repeatedly knocking her head heavily on the ground.
The Specker family was Macy’s last ray of hope, and she would never give up.

Joe couldn’t bear to see her like this and interjected, “Mr. Specker, although Ms. Macy has been married for many years, she still represents the Specker family. While the Specker family may not be as wealthy as the Gibson family or the Hadley family, we still hold a certain reputation in Hallsbay. If we let others trample over us, it will only make us appear weak and powerless. Soon, no one will fear us anymore.”
Vladimir glared angrily at Joe. “You don’t understand. The Hadley family is not to be trifled with. That brat Nathaniel is even more difficult to deal with than his father Charlie. Even if I’m inclined to help, Anya still can’t compare to the greater importance of the Specker family.”
-Joe wanted to say more but was silenced by Vladimir’s stern gaze.
Macy’s heart sank as her eyes filled with despair. “So, you really don’t care about me and Anya?”
“Macy, this is the path you’ve chosen, and others can’t help you.” Vladimir sighed helplessly and turned coldly to go upstairs.
Joe hurriedly approached Macy and helped her up. “Ms. Macy, Mr. Specker is currently blinded by anger. Why don’t you go find Ms. Anya first? Once Mr. Specker has calmed down, he will naturally handle the trouble for you.”
Macy sneered, “He won’t help me and Anya. He’s my father, and I understand him. Thank you for speaking up for me just now, Joe. I’ll be leaving.”
She walked out of the mansion with a desolate expression. Joe rushed up to her and handed her a check worth one million.
He said, “Ms. Macy, this is what Mr. Specker asked me to give you. With the Gibson family’s scandal making such big waves recently, Mr. Specker has naturally been paying attention. He can’t intervene in- other matters, but at least he can take care of your daily needs.”
Macy accepted it expressionlessly, feeling dead inside. “Thank him for me.”
Joe watched Macy leave before turning to head back to the mansion. “Mr. Specker, Ms. Macy has accepted it.”
Vladimir stared at the scenery outside the window, feeling lost. “Anya is just like her father. They’re both too eager for quick success and instant benefits. The truth will always come out. Nigel should have anticipated this day.”
Joe only partially understood. He stood silently by the side without saying a word.
As night fell, Nathaniel remained by Christina’s bedside for several hours without moving at all. Fatigue
was evident in his weary eyes.
Sebastian slowed his pace as he walked in and whispered a few words in Nathaniel’s ear. Following that, Nathaniel stood up and walked out of the hospital room.
He didn’t dare to go too far and deliberately left the hospital room door slightly ajar, ensuring that he could see Christina at all times.
“After Anya left the Specker residence, she disappeared. Our men found her discarded phone near the Specker residence, but the street surveillance cameras couldn’t trace her whereabouts,” Sebastian said quietly.
He continued, “Mr. Specker made it clear that he won’t meddle in this mess, while Mrs. Gibson returned to the rented house and hasn’t left home all afternoon. Communication records show that she only contacted Mrs. Lazuli, though without any success. She hasn’t contacted anyone else.”
Anya had run out of options. She had almost no one to rely on in Hallsbay, nor did she have anyone backing her up. There was no way she could escape Sebastian’s pursuit.
She suddenly pulled back her hand and touched her belly, wanting to make sure the baby was safe. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Christina, there’s something I want to discuss seriously with you,” Nathaniel said solemnly. “From now on, you should focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. You won’t be able to manage both Gibson Corporation and the studio. How about we relocate Gibson Corporation to Jadeborough starting tomorrow? I’ve already asked the secretary to gather opinions from the employees, and they are all willing to move with the company. The only thing we need is your approval.”
