Yerek’s eyes darkened. “Do you think Grandma didn’t know about these things? She’s much smarter than
Although their grandmother was getting old, she was a very sensible and reasonable person.
“Grandma said that if you don’t marry Christina you will never inherit the Gibson family business and shares. Yerek, I don’t want you to leave the family.”
At the thought of that, Anya could not conceal the traces of disappointment in her eyes. Christina was someone she loathed, after all. She’s not even that important of a person! Who cares if she comes back? Why must Grandma like her so much?
Yerck chuckled lightly as an unfathomable glint flashed across his eyes. “Don’t worry. It won’t be easy for Christina to walk away with the Gibson family’s shares.”
Meanwhile, it was very late when Christina returned to Scenic Garden Manor.
Once she entered the house, the dim lights were immediately turned on.
Nathaniel sat on the couch, and his gaze fell on Christina’s exhausted expression and wet eyelashes, “Did someone bully you?”
His tone was stern as if he would punish the person who bullied Christina when she replied to him.
She paused and replied softly. “It’s nothing.”
For the time being, she could not wrap her head around the fact that she was a member of the Gibson family, so she decided to inform Nathaniel about it at a later time.
He beckoned to her with his finger. His tone laced with a hint of authority, the man instructed, “Come over here.”
Christina walked over to him because she didn’t have the energy to argue with him after her exhausting night. When she got closer, Nathaniel reached out to grab her wrist and pulled her into his arms gently.
Christina remained still, allowing him to hug her. Perhaps she was too tired, as she fell asleep in Nathaniel’s arms after a while.
When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying in her bed, wearing her pajamas.
She changed her clothes and headed downstairs to have breakfast. Azure’s a*sistant also gave her a call. “Mrs. Lazuli is inviting you to her house for lunch. May I ask if you’re available, Ms. Gibson?”
The a*sistant had changed the way she addressed Christina, indicating that the Gibson family acknowledged her identity.
Christina pondered for a moment before she replied. “Okay, I’ll come over after I finish my work.”
After hanging up the call, she ate breakfast before returning to her room to work on her design drafts.
When it was almost noon, she packed up and left.
Not long after, a black Maybach drove into the manor.

Chapter 441 Go Back And Ask Nathaniel
Nathaniel got out of the car, and Raymond greeted him, “Mr. Hadley, have you eaten lunch? I’ll ask the chefs to make preparations
“Is Christina not at home!” Nathaniel came back home to accompany Christina specifically
Raymond replied. “Mrs. Hadley just left a few moments ago before you arrived”
Nathaniel frowned at the butler’s words If Christina didn’t return to the studio, where did she go?
The car stopped in front of the mansion, and Christina stepped out of it. She immediately was greeted by Azure’s friendly smile.
Yerek and Anya stood by Azure’s side with stormy expressions plastered on their faces.
However, Christina didn’t care about them since she didn’t come to see them.
“Christina, do you have any food allergies?” Azure held Christina’s hand and walked into the mansion.
The latter replied with a smile, “I don’t have any dietary restrictions.”
Anya stared at their backs, enraged. “It’s just a meal. Does Grandma have to be so concerned about it?”
“Let’s head in.” Yerek patted Anya’s shoulders gently.
The dishes had already been served by the time the two walked in. Azure and Christina sat next to each other. Azure had picked up a piece of chicken to place on Christina’s plate.
The elderly lady’s actions only resulted in Anya fixing a hate-filled gaze at Christina. “Grandma, you usually give me the drumstick.”
“Isn’t it just a drumstick? If you like it, I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare another one,” Azure replied before picking another piece of meat for Christina.
Anya felt the affection she used to enjoy from Azure had been taken away and was utterly stumped.
Christina took the drumstick from her plate and placed it on Anya’s plate. “Since you like it, you can have
“You’re very considerate, Christina.” Azure was pleased.
Looking at the drumstick on her plate. Anya only felt it was dirty. She didn’t want to eat the food that Christina had touched.
She couldn’t hold back any longer and was about to throw a tantrum when Yerek grabbed her wrist. He shot her a look, advising her to tamp down her anger.
They knew very well that Azure didn’t like disputes between siblings.
Yerek took the drumstick off her plate and said, “Let me eat it.”
Anya finally calmed down. However, it was still an unpleasant meal for her.
After lunch, Azure brought Christina into the study.
“Christina, I want you to live with us from now on. Also, I’ll transfer thirty percent of the shares to you,” the older woman uttered.

“1-
Before Christina could say anything, the door to the study burst open, and Anya pounced into Azure’s arms aggrievedly. “Grandma, how can you transfer so many shares to Christina?”
If it is thirty percent of shares, Christina would have the largest shareholding after my uncle. I only have five percent If I have an argument with Christina in the future, won’t I get kicked out of the Gibson family? I can’t lose my rightful authority.
She stared at Christina coldly and questioned, “Christina, what did you do to Grandma? How can you take so many of her shares? What are your intentions? Did you come back to the Gibson family for money? You’re disgusting!”
A tinge of anger flashed across Christina’s eyes. She didn’t have any hidden agenda and only wanted to accompany Azure since the latter invited her for a meal.
On the other hand, Azure’s face was tense, and she grabbed Anya’s hand. “This is what Christina deserves.
Don’t cause a scene.”
Nevertheless, Anya didn’t believe her grandmother’s words. She grabbed the latter’s hand and said slowly, “Grandma, it’s not that I don’t trust her or want to obstruct her from getting the shares she deserves. It’s just that she is married to Nathaniel. What happens if she doesn’t help us after you give the shares to her?”
Azure was taken aback for a moment, and her expression darkened.
She was considering Anya’s point.
The study fell silent, and only Christina was perplexed.
What does my being part of the Gibson family have anything to do with Nathaniel?
when her train of thought ended there, a frown marred her countenance. “What do you mean by that?”
Anya looked at the other woman with mockery written all over her face and stated coldly, “I can’t believe. you’re still clueless about this. Don’t you know your father’s legs and your mother’s death were all because of the Hadley family?”
“I really don’t understand how you could sleep beside your mother’s murderer every night!” she added.
Every word of hers was like a sharp knife plunging into Christina’s heart, and Christina found herself struggling to breathe. “It’s impossible! You’re making it up!”
Anya scoffed coldly. “I’m making it up? If you don’t believe me, ask Grandma or even my uncle. Everyone in this family knows about this. You can even go back and ask Nathaniel!”
