Chapter 581 Consequences
When Nigel’s intentions were exposed, rage colored his countenance.
Putting on airs as an elder, he reprimanded, “How can you say that about your father and grandmother.
Christina? Even if they did something wrong, they’re still your elders, and you shouldn’t hold a grudge
against them. Everything they did, they did it for your own good. In the future, the Gibson family will rest
in your hand. As a member of the family, don’t you think you should contribute as well?”
I’ve been alive for over twenty over years, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone phrase their
desire for money in such a lofty manner. Christina mocked, “You’re the head of the Gibson family right
now. If your words are true, will you willingly hand your position over to me? I know you won’t. After all,
you already answered that question explicitly in the past.”
Nigel’s grimace intensified. “You’ve misunderstood me, Christina. Back then, I objected to the power
transfer because you weren’t experienced enough. Managing a family business isn’t a child’s game.
One small mistake and massive issues will surface.”
Christina refilled her ss of fruit juice and took a sip. Its sweet, refreshing taste washed away the
bitterness in her throat.
“You may be right, but even with your wealth of experiences, Gibson Corporation is still failing under
your leadership. I heard it’s now on the verge of bankruptcy. Even after selling family properties and
luxury cars, you still can’t stave off thepany’s ill fate. The way she spoke was nonchnt, as
though she was an outsider, and the survival of the Gibson family mattered not to her.
Christina’s bluntness embarrassed Nigel further.
Nigel was willing to lower himself and seek Christina for help in order to protect his hard-earned throne.
glory, and wealth for the rest of his life. He wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn’t any worse than
Timothy.
The Hadley family was, at that moment, the top dog of the business industry. Hence, they could aid the
desperate Gibson family in innumerable ways. For example, granting the Gibson Corporation a project
with a multi-billion investment. If thepany could convince Nathaniel to coborate with them, their
crisis would be resolved.
However, Timothy and Azure were too sly and harsh to the Hadley family back then. It was why
Nathaniel held a grudge against the family. No matter how Nigel tried to ingratiate Nathaniel, thetter
refused to meet with the former.
Therefore, after contemting his options, Nigel decided to approach Christina.
She can keep denying my request, but she can’t ignore the fact that the blood of the Gibson family
flows in her veins. Suppressing the humiliation, Nigel remarked, “I admit that I’m notpetent
enough, which is why Gibson Corporation is in a pinch. However, I’m not solely responsible for this
oue. You yed a part in thepany’s downfall as well.”
Christina arched her eyebrow, staring at Nigel and waiting for him to continue.
“If you had offered a few words of advice when Nathaniel canceled all coborations with Gibson
Corporation, things would’ve been fine. Gibson Corporation wouldn’t have fallen to its current state.
Nathaniel even employed dirty tricks to force otherpanies not to cooperate with Gibson
Corporation To deal with the Gibson family to teach us a lesson. As such, thepany couldn’t find
any new partners, and its capital chain was severed. That is why thepany has no choice but to beg
Nathaniel for help. Christina, the tragedy of Gibson Corporation is Nathaniel’s fault. Your parent’s
ident back then is intricately tied to the Hadley family. Stop being stubborn, and don’t allow
Nathaniel to continue to fool you! Never forget that romantic love will never be as precious as your
mother’s sacrifice! All the glory and wealth you enjoy today was the result of your mother’s death!”
An icy expression was set on Christina’s face as she squeezed the ss in her hand, so much so that
the veins on the back of her hand bulged.
Bang!
She mmed the ss on the coffee table, drawing attention from many of the guests nearby.
However, she ignored them.
“Are you threatening me with my mother’s matter?” She sneered overbearingly. “The truth about what
transpired five years ago still hadn’t been discovered. Do you have proof that the Hadley family is
responsible for that incident? You insinuate they are cruel and immoral, yet you’re secretly trying to get
their help to make aeback. One mustn’t be too hypocritical. In fact, I suspect you might have a part
to y in that ident. After all, you were the one who would benefit the most from my parent’s
ident.”
Nigel’s pupils constricted as he scowled. “What nonsense are you talking about, Christina? I’m your
uncle! Your father is my older brother! Why would I harm my own family for personal benefit? If you
nder me any further, don’t me me for burning bridges with you!”
Christina covered her mouth as she chuckled and responded casually. “If you think I’m speaking
nonsense, why are you so angry? You’re just making others think that you’re guilty.”
With reddened eyes, Nigel red at her. “In any case, you’d better consider my words. Even if you
don’t care about Gibson Corporation, you still need to think about your parents.”
He did his best to protect his dignity until the end and retreated swiftly before more people paid
attention. to their argument.
The smile on Christina’s face slowly faded, reced by amusement and mockery. Nigel had some
nerve to mention my deceased mother when he failed to persuade me by using Gibson Corporation.
Even if my father had personallye to lecture me, I probably wouldn’t have shown him respect. Yet,
Nigel thought he could gain my support. How ridiculous!
With a grimace, she emptied her ss of juice.
After shaking off the guests, Nathaniel hastily marched toward Christina with furrowed eyebrows. “What
did Nigel talk to you about?”
The edges of Christina’s lips curved upward. “It’s nothing serious. He was asking me to help him save
Gibson Corporation. However, I declined. I disliked people bringing up familial love to threaten me.”
Even though I avoided mentioning the part about Mom, I doubt I can hide that bit from someone as
smart as Nathaniel. Once Nigel is driven to desperation, he’ll find a way to meet with Nathaniel. When
the timees, Nathaniel will solve the problem, so I’m not worried.
In response, Nathaniel sneered, “Nigel has some nerve to threaten my woman.”
Christina didn’t want Nigel to ruin her n for the night, so she said. “Let’s forget about him. Where’s
Winston? I don’t see him anywhere.”
“He’s here, waiting for us in the lounge.”
As she set her ss down somewhere, a sly and excited look shed past her eyes. “We should visit
him quickly. I’m almost full from drinking fruit juices for the whole night.”
