Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 709 Pass The Buck 

Emilia?

Azure had met Emilia a few times, but she did not think too highly of the latter. To Azure, a woman who would do anything for money was of no importance.

“Where’s the proof?” Azure was not stupid. “Are you trying to use me to get rid of Emilia? That’s why you’re so willing to tell me who Anya’s murderer is.”

“If that’s what you want to believe, then I can do nothing about it,” said Christina. “Mrs. Lazuli, it’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not. You can hunt for the evidence by yourself. If there’s nothing else, please leave.”

Christina then got up and walked toward the stairs. Azure’s angry voice rang out.

“Christina, stop right there. I still have something to ask you.” Azure went up to grab hold of her. “Where have you hidden your father? I want to see him.”

Azure had come to look for Christina on the pretext of finding out what happened to Anya. In truth, she was looking for Timothy.

She believed that Timothy still had a conscience and would not ignore her.

Christina’s face fell at the mention of Timothy, and she glared at Azure.

“You have never cared whether my father was dead or alive. Now that Nigel is in prison, Anya is dead, Yerek is busy saving himself, and Barnaby doesn’t want you anymore, you place your last hopes on my father. What a great idea.”

Christina’s words cut Azure’s heart like a razor-sharp knife.

Without her expensive jewelry and clothes, Azure no longer looked dignified and virtuous. Her haggard face had aged by a decade, and she looked far worse than most women her

Christina could tell that Azure had been suffering during this period, and it was precisely why Azure wanted to find out the whereabouts of Timothy.

Azure was utterly humiliated. She looked away and mumbled, “Of course, I’m concerned about him. He’s also my son. You have the least right to pass comment on me.”

age.

Azure was determined to find out where Timothy was. “Christina, if you don’t tell me where your father is, I’ll inform the police. When this gets out, it’ll be embarrassing for you!”

Christina stood on the step with her arms crossed. She looked down at Azure.

“Go on then. Call the police. When the police come looking for me, I’ll tell them how Nigel plotted against my parents fifteen years ago and that both Yerek and you knew about it but did nothing. Do you think the police will come after both of you or me by then? Right. You were away in Hallsbay, so I’m sure you don’t know that Yerek has received Nigel’s overseas assets. My dad must have put in painstaking effort for those assets. If I choose to pursue the matter, Nigel will probably never get out of prison in this lifetime. Yerek is no better. Why don’t I send Yerek in too so that both father and son can accompany one another?”

Azure was so furious that her face turned ashen. She placed one hand on her chest and pointed at Christina with another, dumbfounded.

Christina sneered, “What else do you want to say to me? Do it once and for all. I’ll be sure to give you a clear answer.”

“You… You heartless b*tch!” Azure’s eyes had turned red, and she was disgusted by Christina’s behavior. “If you dare hurt Yerek, I won’t let you off!”

As soon as Azure finished speaking, she collapsed.

The butler immediately came over and placed his finger near Azure’s nose. “Mrs. Hadley, she has fainted.”

There was no expression on Christina’s face. “Send her to the hospital and inform Yerek.”

That was the last thing Christina would do for Azure. As for Azure’s future, it would depend on her fate.

“Yes.” The butler summoned the housekeeper.

The incident did not affect Christina. She went to her bedroom and had a wonderful nap.

When Yerek found out about what happened to Azure, he was annoyed. In the end, he sent someone to the hospital with a wad of cash and did not turn up personally.

Azure convinced herself that Yerek was busy at work. That was why he did not come to visit her.

Once Azure was discharged, she found out the whereabouts of Emilia and went to look for her on her own.

When Emilia heard the doorbell ring, she got a fright. Holding her breath, she walked quietly to the door and looked through the peephole.

It was Azure.

Why is this old woman not in Hallsbay? What is she doing here?

It had been a long time since Emilia interacted with Azure. Emilia dared not open the door and pretended that she was not home.

Bang!

The door shook violently as it made a deafening sound.

Emilia got a shock and stared at the door.

She was staying in an old residential area, and the facilities were dilapidated. That old door would not be able to stand up to such violent torture.

“Emilia, I know you’re at home. Open up!” Azure continued to slam on the door. “I’m giving you three seconds. When the time is up, I’ll get someone to tear the door down!”

Emilia gritted her teeth and opened the door. “What do you want? I don’t know you. Why are you behaving like a barbarian in front of my house?”

“You don’t know me?” scoffed Azure as she squeezed past Emilia and walked into the house uninvited.

That pissed Emilia off. “This is my house. Get out!” She pointed at the door.

Azure walked around the house before settling on the couch like she owned the place.

“I don’t care if you really don’t know me or if you are pretending. I’m sure I got the right person, and that’s you, Emilia,” said Azure in a stern voice. “I’m sure you know Anya. She’s my granddaughter. Two days ago, she died a horrible death all of a sudden. You were the last one to see her before she died.”

She’s up to no good!

Emilia calmed herself. “That’s rubbish. Christina was the last to see her. To tell you the truth, Anya and I were sort of close with one another. I feel sorry for her demise and am also looking for evidence to avenge her death.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Both Emilia and Christina said completely different things. Azure had no idea who she should believe.

“You only got close to Anya because both of you were plotting a kidnapping, am I right?” said Azure shrewdly. “I know the real Anya. She would never mingle with indecent people. Furthermore, she was very particular so I’m sure you’re lying.”

Emilia panicked momentarily when she realized that she was being exposed and quickly forced herself to calm down.

“Did Christina tell you that? You have been duped by that woman. Gibson Corporation is a
