Chapter 588 Do Not See Eye To Eye

Christina was asleep on her soft bed when Nigel stormed into the residence.

After Raymond woke her up, she sat on the bed with the blanket wrapped around her and spaced out. Her

scrunched eyebrows and frown indicated that she was in a bad mood.

Everyone in the Hadley residence knew that Christina disliked being woken up.

That morning, before Nathaniel left, he had emphasized to Raymond that no one should disturb Christina’s rest.

However, Raymond could not carry out his order to the end, as an uninvited guest had shown up at the residence.

Raymond observed Christina’s expression and carefully said, “Mrs. Hadley, the guest mentioned that he’s your

second uncle. He won’t leave if he doesn’t get to meet you. He’s causing quite a stir downstairs.”

Even without Raymond telling her, Christina had already heard the cursing, screaming, and sounds of things being

smashed from downstairs.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She sneered, “I don’t have such an unreasonable relative. Make sure to

list down everything he destroyed and have him compensate for them at their full price. Leave nothing out!”

This is the Hadley family’s territory. How dare Uncle Nigel come and cause a ruckus? Doesn’t this behavior of his

show that he has zero respect for me and Nathaniel? Not anyone can call themselves my relative as they please!

Christina wrapped a robe around herself and went to the walk-in closet. “Let him wait. I’ll go down when I’ve

washed up.”

Raymond nodded respectfully. “Yes, Mrs. Hadley.”

With that, he left.

Raymond had just reached the last step of the stairs when a porcelain vase was smashed to the ground beside him.

He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose before calmly taking a notebook and pen from his

pocket and recording everything Nigel had thrown.

“This porcelain vase from the eighteenth century costs twenty million. This costs eight million…”

Nigel stared at Raymond. He had wanted to ask him why it took so long for Christina to come down. However, his

heart lurched when he heard Raymond muttering numbers and writing something into his notebook. He yelled in

anger, “I asked you to get Christina. Where the heck is she? Why aren’t you doing what I told you to? What are you

doing muttering to yourself over there? I want to see Christina!”

Raymond hastily added the last item to the list before he looked up at a furious Nigel. He replied calmly, “Mrs.

Hadley just woke up. She’s upstairs washing up right now. Mr. Gibson, if you can’t be patient and wait for her, you

can take your leave. Remember to make an appointment before you come the next time.”

I haven’t seen her yet, but she’s chasing me away?

Nigel shamelessly sat on the couch and said aggressively, “I can leave if you want me to, but you must first ask

Christina to release my daughter!”

Christina was halfway down the stairs when she heard what Nigel said. She raised her eyebrows and asked. “So

that’s why you barged into my home so early to make a mess? To look for Anya?”

Without waiting for Nigel to respond, Christina mocked. “Since when did the Gibson family become so useless? Why

would you go to other people’s homes to look for your daughter when you can’t find her yourself? Is this how a

member of the Gibson family should behave?”

Nigel’s face contorted in anger. He said through gritted teeth, “Christina, anyone who knows you know that you and

Anya are always at each other’s throats. Jadeborough is your and Nathaniel’s territory. It must be you who sent

people to kidnap Anya. Who else would make things difficult for the Gibson family if not you?”

Christina slowly descended the stairs and approached Nigel. She glanced at Raymond and instructed, “Mr. Patel,

please warm up some milk for me.”

“Right away, Mrs. Hadley.” Raymond turned and left.

Nigel was about to explode from anger when he saw how calm Christina was. His daughter’s whereabouts were still

unknown, yet Christina still had the time to drink warm milk.

“Christina, what exactly do you want me to do so you’ll let go of Anya?” Nigel stared at her angrily. “No matter how

much you don’t see eye to eye with Anya, the two of you are still cousins. The Gibson family no longer poses a

threat to you, so why must you go to such extreme lengths to destroy the family?”

Christina sat elegantly on the single-seater couch and pulled the fleece shawl tighter around herself. She took the

milk from Raymond and slowly drank half before her gaze fell onto Nigel’s haggard face.

“You’re right. Now that the Gibson family has fallen and is no longer a threat to me, why would I waste time and

energy to kidnap Anya? What benefits would I get from kidnapping her?” She flashed him a sarcastic smile. “I’m

not short of money or power.”

Compared to the luxurious and extravagant interior of the mansion, Nigel stuck out like a sore thumb with his suit

that was worth hundreds of thousands.

Christina’s words were like knives stabbing at Nigel’s heart. He suddenly felt embarrassed and remorseful. No one

could enter the Hadley family’s territory as they pleased, but he did it. Even if Christina did not want to return to the

family, he was still her elder.

He refused to believe she would disregard their relationship and humiliate him.

Now that I think about it, Christina can have whatever she wants since she married into a wealthy family. With her

ignorant attitude toward the Gibson family, she doesn’t need to kidnap Anya to get revenge. She could’ve just sent

some people to kill Anya secretly.

Nigel suddenly had the answers to all his doubts. However, he shamelessly ordered Christina, “Well, 1 don’t care.

Something happened to Anya in your territory. Even if it wasn’t you who kidnapped her, as one of the indispensable

members of the Gibson family, you must take responsibility for it until the very end.”

When the Gibson family was distributing the family assets, the branch family wanted nothing more but to see her

die. Even now, they still acted high and mighty when they were the ones who needed her help.

Regardless, Christina was no pushover. She would not let anyone walk all over her.

Christina placed her mug on the coffee table before she remarked coldly. “That’s the Gibson family’s

matter. Anya’s life or death has nothing to do with me. Nigel, I’ve endured your provocations countless times, but

that does not mean that I care about the family. On the contrary, I didn’t grow up in the Gibson residence, so I don’t

owe the family anything. If we are to find fault within the family, I only feel apologetic toward my birth parents. I

address you as Uncle Nigel in front of others because I respect my parents. Back then, if my parents hadn’t gotten

into an accident, you wouldn’t have become the head of the Gibson family. Gibson Corporation is the fruit of my

parents’ labor. Technically speaking, it should be you, the branch family, who owes us, the main family.”

“I can save the Gibson family and have Anya return safe and sound if you want me to, but that depends on what

you’re willing to sacrifice. If you’re incapable of agreeing to my terms, you should get out of my sight.” Having said

that, Christina turned to look at Raymond. “See our guest out. In the future, do not let anyone in without my

permission.”

Raymond spoke into the walkie-talkie. Within a few seconds, several muscular bodyguards appeared in the living

room. They grabbed Nigel by the arms and dragged him out.

Nigel finally snapped out of it and screamed at Christina, “Christina, don’t think you can cut ties with the family just

because you’re doing great! I won’t forgive you if anything happens to Anya!”

Raymond followed them and closed the door behind him when they exited the mansion, completely shutting out

Nigel’s curses and insults.

Outside, the two bodyguards threw Nigel into the puddle at the side of the road as though they were throwing

trash.

Raymond ripped out a piece of paper from his notebook, folded it, and tucked it into the chest pocket of Nigel’s

shirt. He remained expressionless as he said.
