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.”
Yerek’s camaraderie stood in sharp contrast with Christina’s indifference. At the reminder of thetter’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’lle up with something else, Grandma. We can talk about everything elseter.”
“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 minutester, 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 justpleted 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 thepany 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 mirthlessugh. 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 rtionship to be 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 thepanies 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 namees 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 btedly realized she had overstepped her bounds and
incurred Timothy’s displeasure.
“That’s not what I meant,” she exined 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 iner.
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.”
