A Crazy Night

Chapter 600 Mother And Son

Azure was well aware of the predicament the Gibson family was in and thought Yerek did a good job of managing to amass five million. At any rate, it was a better effort than those in their family who only sat back and watched the drama unfold.

Out of love and concern, she asked, “How did you manage to put together that much money. Yerek?”

“I sold a condominium and a car under my name,” Yerek responded calmly. “A friend gave me a good price for them.”

Azure was astonished. “How could you do that? That’s the only property under your name! And a coming- of-age gift from your father, no less.”

Yerck brushed it off. “Those are all material things. Anya is my sister. I can’t sit back and watch something happen to her.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Yerek’s camaraderie stood in sharp contrast with Christina’s indifference. At the reminder of the latter’s. attitude. Azure scoffed. “Though you are adopted, Yerek, you’re a much more decent person. Your father and I were wrong to have thought that Christina was capable of taking the helm, and we have forsaken. you. You wouldn’t hold it against us, would you?”

Yerek’s lips curled into a smirk. Aware of what Azure liked to hear, he chose his following words carefully.

“I can’t even begin to thank you and Dad for raising me, Grandma. How could I hold it against you? Besides, these things never belonged to me. They’re not mine to take. Besides. Christina may have her own reasons. I think you should sit down and talk to her about it. She’s not unreasonable, you know.”

“Hmph! Don’t try to defend her. She no longer gives a d’mn about the Gibson family. Worse still, she’s trying to turn us against one another.”

Earlier, Azure was even considering calling Christina and demanding payment but at Yerek’s provocation, she decided against it.

“I’ll come up with something else, Grandma. We can talk about everything else later.”

“All right. I’ll await your good news.””

After hanging up, Azure flung her phone onto the couch. Then, she exited her room and knocked on the door adjacent to hers.

“Open up, Timothy. I have something to talk to you about.”

Several minutes later, Timothy opened the door in his wheelchair. He was damp and wrapped in a bathrobe.

“What do you need to talk about at this hour, Mom?”

Azure entered the room and locked the door behind her. After sizing Timothy up, she ventured into the room only to be greeted by the sight of boxes of takeout on the coffee table.

She chided, “Yerek and I have been worried sick over putting together the ransom, Timothy, and here you are having supper and preparing for bed!”

Timothy had not expected his mother, who usually turned in early, to drop by, so he had not had the

Having just completed his physiotherapy, he was drenched in sweat. Due to his slight mysophobia, he had to take a shower.

“I’m worried about Anya too, Mom, but who’s going to rescue her if we end up falling sick because of not getting enough rest? Besides, I’m in no shape to help out much, seeing as my mobility is limited.”

Azure lost her temper and didn’t bother to choose her words as she snapped, “You’re not worried because Anya isn’t your daughter, is that it? Nigel has been running the company for you over the years, and you won’t even show gratitude.”

Timothy clenched his fists but loosened them immediately. He turned his wheelchair around to the desk. and produced a card from his wallet. “There’s two million in here. It’s all my savings. Take it.”

Azure gave a mirthless laugh. She did not bother to conceal her disdain in her gaze and tone. “What good does two million do? Yerek has managed to collect more than you! He even sold the condominium and car under his name for five million, and he’s still trying

Timothy gazed coldly at Azure. “Isn’t he obligated to do so since he’s Anya’s brother?” he sneered.

Azure retorted, “And you are her uncle! How could you bear to sit and watch harm befall her?”

Timothy shrugged. “This is all I have.”

Then, he flung the bank card onto the coffee table.

Azure felt a sudden sense of foreboding at how calm Timothy was. She sensed a change in him, though she could not put her finger on it.

However, she did not want their relationship to become irreparable. “You have many properties under your name, Timothy. Knowing Christina, she will never acknowledge you as her father again, so you might as well sell some of them to save Anya’s life. You will have her eternal gratitude.”

Timothy chuckled inwardly as he met Azure’s gaze. “Have you forgotten?” he said slowly. “Since Christina returned to the Gibson residence, all of my properties have been transferred to her, including the shares. of all the companies under Gibson Corporation.”

Azure’s expression was grim. “Why did you make such a huge decision without first running it by me?”

Fantastic. Now we’re left with nothing. Christina doesn’t even appreciate Timothy’s efforts to make things up to her!

What a waste.

Timothy’s tone was colder than ever. “A cripple I may be, but I’m not someone who can’t make my own decisions. Half of the wealth under my name comes from Veronica’s hard work, and she would not object to it being given to Christina. Do my wife and I not have a say over how we spend the money we earn?”

Azure was momentarily struck dumb. She belatedly realized she had overstepped her bounds and incurred Timothy’s displeasure.

“That’s not what I meant,” she explained sheepishly. “I just feel sorry for you, that’s all. You saw how Christina treated you that day. That girl is an ingrate.”

Uncharacteristically. Timothy scowled. “I don’t think she did anything wrong. On the other hand, we have wronged her.”

Azure gaped at Timothy, convinced she had misheard him. “Where do you get such ludicrous ideas, Timothy? I was right. Christina has gotten into your head.”

She continued. “Anya is in dire need of money now. Even though you’ve transferred everything you own to Christina, they once belonged to you. Make a call and ask her to spare twenty million to save Anya.”

Azure spoke firmly, as if that was how things should be.

“You are her father. She would have even less of a reason to turn you down.”

Timothy was deeply wounded by Azure’s selfishness and regretted how ignorant he used to be. Why didn’t I see through their true nature earlier?

Thus, he rejected her curtly. “It won’t make sense to ask something you’ve given to be returned. Though I am her father, I can’t bring myself to do something so absurd and embarrassing. I forbid any of you to contact her.”

Azure was beside herself with rage and panic. “What about Anya, then? She’s going to die if we can’t put together twenty million before daybreak!”

“I’m tired and would like to rest. Please leave.” Timothy wheeled himself to the door. His intention could not be any plainer.

Azure opened her mouth to say something but decided against it. Disappointed, she left.

Just as Timothy closed the door, his phone rang.

“The results of the paternity test between Mr. Yerek and Mr. Nigel are out.”
