Chapter 612 The Shocking Secret

The noisy scene was interrupted by the sudden entrance of the three hostile figures.

Almost two-thirds of those present hadn’t seen Christina before, but all of them quickly recognized

Sebastian.

He was Nathaniel’s most trusted assistant. As Hadley Corporation’s second-in-command, he wielded considerable

power and influence. xo.com fast update

All this while, members of the Gibson family relied on regular dividends from Gibson Corporation to live a life of

luxury and develop their own companies.

Despite being aware of the bad blood between their family and the Hadley family, they still hoped to leverage the

latter’s business for greater profit.

Therefore, they only dared to disparage Christina but didn’t have the courage to do the same against Sebastian.

“Christina, a junior like you has no place to speak here!” Nigel thundered while staring daggers at Christina.

“Shouldn’t you be mindful of the occasion before trying to kick up a fuss?”

Christina threw Nigel an indifferent glance before walking past him and taking her seat nearby.

Azure’s brows furrowed as if to express her disapproval of Christina’s brazen behavior.

“Christina, everyone here is an elder. How can you not greet them before sitting down? This is really rude of you.

A faint smile emerged across Christina’s face. “Mrs. Lazuli, in this modern era, the ways of the old are no longer

applicable. Anyway, I didn’t come here for a family reunion. Instead, I’m here in my capacity as a competitor. Since

when have you ever seen anyone behave submissively to the competition?”

Without warning, Azure slammed the table as she sprang to her feet. She then shot Timothy a piercing gaze.

“Timothy, aren’t you going to teach your daughter some manners? I’m her grandmother for goodness sake!”

Timothy’s expression was nonchalant. “Christina is an adult now. I won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t want.

She has the right and freedom to do whatever she wants.”

“You.” Infuriated by the response she received, Azure’s words caught in her throat before she was interrupted by

Christina.

“Calm down, Mrs. Lazuli. Something as trivial as this isn’t worth being angry over. Otherwise, you might burst a

vessel after hearing what I have to say later.” Wearing a gleeful smile, Christina spoke in a gentle yet threatening

tone. “I’m not going to waste your time. You can still decide whether to divvy up the assets after hearing what I

have to say,”

As her words hung in the air, everyone looked in Alistair’s direction.

Given his shrewdness, Alistair could immediately see that Christina wasn’t someone to be trifled with. If it wasn’t

because he had something to gain, he wouldn’t have gotten himself involved in the mess.

“Girl, stop with your tricks. They’re not going to do you any good,” Alistair warned.

Nonetheless, Christina was unfazed. “Don’t worry. I’m not the one who’s plotting here.”

The moment she clapped her hands, Sebastian held out a document and walked around with it so that everyone

could see.

Their eyes widened in shock at the earth-shattering secret that had been revealed to them.

By the time he arrived in front of Nigel, the latter seemed to have gone berserk as he tried to rip the document out

of Sebastian’s hands. The guilt from his action couldn’t be any more telling.

As Sebastian skillfully evaded Nigel, the latter stumbled forward and dropped to his knees from his own inertia.

Kneeling on the ground right before Christina and Timothy, Nigel looked as if he was repenting and begging for

mercy. 1

Silence descended upon the room as the crowd’s gaze fell upon Nigel in unison.

Christina broke into a smirk. “Uncle Nigel, the first person you should be kneeling in front of is Grandpa,

not me

Nigel shot Christina a burning gaze as he frantically got back to his feet.

All this while, Alistair would turn a blind eye to the political machinations within the family as long as the family’s

reputation wasn’t affected.

However, the contents of the document were too explosive and disgraceful to ignore.

Thus, Alistair turned toward Azure and shot her a fearsome look. “Whose son is Nigel, really?”

Azure’s expression drastically changed as she frantically explained, “The paternity test report is fake, Uncle Alistair.

Another one was done back in the day.”

Timothy twisted the knife. “That’s because you paid off the person who did it and got him to tamper with the

results. I don’t mind bringing that person here to validate the fact.”

One by one, gazes of disgust fell upon Azure. Upon being exposed, she felt so helpless that she collapsed into her

chair. Lips trembling, she just couldn’t find the words to defend herself. [D

Thereafter, Timothy calmly recounted the shameful incident from the past.

“Back then, Father’s car accident caused him to lose the ability to have children. At the same time, you announced

that you were pregnant, and he became a vegetable before dying three years later. Since Nigel isn’t a member of

the Gibson family, he has no right to inherit anything. On top of that, it isn’t difficult for him to make a comeback

based on his biological father’s position and influence, isn’t it?”

Upon realizing the underlying implication of Timothy’s words, Christina recalled the rumor about Oswald and Azure.

If I understand correctly, he seems to be saying that Azure is connected to Oswald’s death.

Given how sharp everyone present was, they had long held suspicions over Oswald’s untimely death. Now that the

past had been brought up and Nigel revealed to not be Oswald’s son, the possibility of Azure being a prime suspect

increased significantly.

Sitting in her chair, Azure was so nervous that she was bereft of words.

Alistair asked, “Timothy, from what you’re saying, I gather you know who Nigel’s father is?”

Jasper proceeded to place another paternity test report on the table. When Alistair lowered his gaze to look, he

picked it up and threw it in Azure’s face, thundering, “It turns out that you did have an affair back then. I should’ve

never believed you!”

When the paternity test report rolled down from Azure’s hand onto the ground, the name on it was there for

everyone to see-Barnaby Stone. He was none other than Sheridan’s grandfather.

Cocking her brows, Christina gave Azure a mischievous look.

No wonder she wants to matchmake me with Sheridan. Since she couldn’t be Barnaby’s wife, she didn’t mind

becoming his in-law. At the very least, they could still maintain some sort of a relationship and wouldn’t raise any

suspicions when they saw each other in secret. The plan she has cooked up is truly diabolical! CD

Given the circumstances, Azure didn’t bother defending herself. Her and Nigel’s situation had simply become

untenable.

“No… How can I not be a member of the Gibson family?” Nigel was unable to accept the sudden change in his

identity.

If what was said is true, I’ll be an illegitimate child of the Stone family going forward!

He knew better than anyone else how humiliating it was to be one.

“Mom, tell me. Am I Barnaby’s son or not?” Nigel bored down upon Azure. “Say it!”

Azure trembled in fear; she didn’t dare look into Nigel’s eyes at all.

Alistair roared, “In that case, there’s no need to divide the assets at all. Timothy is the sole heir of the Gibson family.

After causing such a big fuss, it turns out that you’re the one who’s an outsider!”
