Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 589

Chapter 589 Whose Idea

Raymond instructed the guards to close the gates. After that, he turned and left without a second

glance.

Anger bubbled within Nigel. He opened the paper with trembling fingers, and his eyes widened in shock

when he saw the number written at the bottom.

Those things were worth more than ninety million? If I had that amount of money, Gibson Corporation

wouldn’t have gone bankrupt.

Nigel almost fainted at the roadside when he realized the severity of the situation. It took him a while to

snap out of his daze. Shaking, he took out his phone and dialed Timothy’s number.

Timothy, please talk some sense into your daughter. She’s so heartless she won’t even let her family

members off!”

Christina had just finished breakfast. She was humming a happy tune as she sat in the living room and

waited for the kitchen to finish preparing the nutritious soup she would be bringing to the hospital.

Half an hour prior, she had received a call from Sharon’s attending doctor saying that Sharon was

awake and she was currently in good health.

Sharon had also borrowed the doctor’s phone to reassure Christina that she was all right. She also

mentioned that Bailey’s emotions were stabilizing, and the latter could be discharged in two days.

Just then, Christina’s phone rang. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She furrowed her brows as she stared at the number flashing on the screen.

After hesitating for a few moments, she accepted the call and spoke in a tone entirely devoid of

emotion. “What’s the matter?”

“Christina, are you still mad at me and Grandma? Timothy’s voice rang through the phone. Without

waiting for Christina’s answer, he continued, “We’ll be relocating your mother’s grave in two days. If

you’re free, come back so the family can gather for dinner.”

They’re going to relocate Mom’s grave? What the heck? Why is the Gibson family using such a poor

excuse to get me to return?

Realization struck Christina as her lips curved into a grin. “I assume Nigel has told you everything.”

Timothy fell silent momentarily before answering. “Christina, I’ll be straightforward since we’re family.

Even if you have a grudge against Anya, it’s still considered a family matter. The Gibson family must

unite as one. You mustn’t treat her safety as a game. Nigel’s just worried about his daughter. Don’t take

it to heart if he said something to upset you. You shouldn’t let outsiders make a fool out of the Gibson

family.”

A gleam of derision gleamed in Christina’s eyes. “I don’t care what Nigel told you. If you want me to

save Anya, you must agree to one condition. Nigel must return Gibson Corporation. From then on, the

company must not have anything to do with them.”

Christina was not cold-blooded and ruthless, but she could not trust Nigel. He had too many secrets.

Just ten minutes before Timothy called, Christina had received several photos and a document from

Sebastian. The photos looked old, but they showed that Nigel and Winston had often met in private and

gone to high-end places together. From their behavior, anyone could tell they were more familiar than

others portrayed them to be.

Hallsbay was a large city. It was normal for businessmen to get together often to socialize or invite

each other to places. However, it was considered unusual for Nigel and Winston to do such things.

Nigel had never revealed to anyone that he knew Winston. They had often met in private the month

before Christina’s birth parents got into an accident.

After that, when Nigel took over Gibson Corporation, he stopped contacting Winston. Coincidentally.

Raveworks Enterprise, which Winston founded, progressed significantly within a year and successfully

introduced many products into the market.

Before that, Raveworks Enterprise had struggled financially. Winston was from an average family. He

did not have a mighty and powerful background or connections. He had also committed a crime when

he was younger. Because of that, many investors looked down on him and refused to do business with

him.

For a company to turn its losses into profit within a year, expand the business, and develop new

products regularly, it must have a massive amount of funds.

Nathaniel had asked Sebastian to investigate Raveworks Enterprise’s new and old accounts. They

discovered that most of the data in the new accounts were fake.

Most importantly, where did Winston get the money to expand his company?

It was common for the members of wealthy families to fight for assets and power. The person who

would benefit the most after Timothy got into an accident was Nigel.

From the document Christina received, she vaguely connected the dots. Initially, she did not intend to

make a move on Nigel that quickly, yet he was persistent in provoking her.

No matter how tolerant she was, she could not endure provocation from him repeatedly.

Timothy did not expect Christina to push them into a corner. He got angry as he said, “Christina, you

weren’t this heartless before. Tell me honestly. Was it your idea or Nathaniel’s?”

Since it had come to this, the Gibson family should be busy taking care of themselves, yet they were

still persistent in going up against Nathaniel.

Christina replied icily. “You were the one who said this is the Gibson family’s personal matter. Since you

acknowledge me as part of the family as well as the heir, it’s only natural I’ve considered Gibson

Corporation’s future development before I came up with my condition. Moreover, with the Gibson.

family’s current situation, we still need to ask for the Hadley family’s help, so whose idea do you think it

was?”

Thud!

The sound of something heavy falling came from the other end of the call. Timothy huffed, “Christina!

The Hadley family killed your birth mother! Their hands are stained with her blood. Even if Gibson

Corporation goes bankrupt, I will never receive such dirty money from them!” He smacked the table.

“Did Nathaniel cast a spell on you or something? Can’t you tell they’re your enemies?”

Christina’s face fell. She gently rubbed her ear, which hurt from all the screaming, then switched her

phone to the other side to alleviate the pain. With a smirk on her lips, she said, “Before you blame me

for not being able to distinguish between right and wrong, you should look for Nigel and have him

confess what despicable things he has done behind your back. He always shows his loyalty to you and

Mrs. Lazuli. He also claims to want to take revenge for you and Mom. Then I’m sure you didn’t know

he’s been contacting Nathaniel desperately for a collaboration. As a matter of fact, he even tried to

persuade me to use pillow talk with Nathaniel to get Hadley Corporation to invest in Gibson

Corporation. The family’s dignity that you are determined to protect will always be weak against

anything that benefits the family or the company.”

After saying all that, Christina hung up.

She had been too agitated that she felt pain in her lower abdomen.

Returning to her seat on the couch, she picked up her glass of warm water and downed it.

Since Timothy had been going to physiotherapy behind the Gibson family’s back, he must have known

about what Nigel had done. However, he had chosen to take things slow and did not confront Nigel

about it because he was considerate of their brotherhood.

Yet, Christina was not Timothy. She did not mind lending him a hand to let the cat out of the bag since

he could not do it himself.

Not only was Gibson Corporation the fruit of Timothy’s labor, but it was also Christina’s mother’s. The

latter had even exchanged her life for the company.

No matter how heartless Christina was toward the Gibson family, she could not give up Gibson

Corporation.

It had been some time since her call with Timothy had ended, but she could not calm down. Just then,

her phone rang. It was from Nathaniel.

“Have you finished reading through the document Sebastian sent you?” Nathaniel’s voice was gentle. It

seemed to have a magical effect that gradually made Christina relax.

Christina composed herself before she answered, “Yeah, I have.”

“Winston willingly offered it up as a bargaining chip for the negotiation of a collaboration.”
