It was a hard pill for Christopher to swallow. His tone was harsh like never before.
"You understand the effort I put in just for judgment day to come. Even if you wanted to avenge Asher, you could've waited until
after tonight. Why did you want to expose everything during the party?" Faced with Christopher's accusations, Bella gave him no
reaction.
"My mother suffered miserably due to a setup. I lay in wait for fifteen years just for the chance to seek justice for her and make
James apologize on his knees." Christopher's dry lips quivered.
"I was so close, Bella. Why couldn't you give me the chance? Why?"
"I'm angry for your mother too, but I won't put my revenge on hold because of you, Mr. Iverson." Bella's gaze was piercing.
"Maybe you want to save James for last to protect the Iverson Group's and your interests, but I can't wait a second longer. I don't
want him to make it through tomorrow. Besides, weren't you expecting us to finish James off for you? In that case, you don't get
to say when we do it."
Christopher was shocked. "What are you saying, Bella? I don't get it. When did I ever-"
"Figure it out yourself."
Sick and tired of Christopher's games, Bella turned around and got into the car.
"Bella..." Christopher was lost for words as a rug was pulled from under him.
"I'm hungry, Justin. We should dine out." Sitting in the car, Bella leaned forward and looked at Justin's back.
Her sweet voice did more damage to Christopher.
"Okay," Justin responded affectionately.
Before getting into the car, Justin locked eyes with Christopher and smirked. "This isn't really about your mother, is it? You're just
having trouble coming to terms with it all."
As the sedan departed, Christopher was left heaving in rage, his eyes bloodshot.
Justin struck a nerve in Christopher, ripping his mask of hypocrisy right off his face.
Christopher could never come to terms with the whole thing.
He carefully cooked up an elaborate scheme.
In Bella's world, Christopher was always the observer in the dark. To her, he never deserved a spot next to her.
"Mr. Iverson." Taylor rushed over, drenched in sweat. "The incident today is on all social media platforms. Even the evening news
is reporting on James' arrest. I I have put the PR team on the job right away to cover up the matter, but it doesn't seem to be
doing anything. The company shares will plummet when the market opens tomorrow morning."
Christopher gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists shakily. "That's impossible. How did they manage to piece together
everything?"
It was true that James' life is a scandal, but how did they manage to find out that James provided women to powerful figures
through the Iversons' Foundation in exchange for favors? They have all the information we have."
"I know, right? I was wondering that too."
Taylor was shocked. "Ms. Thompson and the jerk only went after James because Mr. Asher's relationship with Mr. Larson was
exposed. If Ms. Thompson and the jerk had evidence of James' crimes, they wouldn't have waited until now to expose him. They
couldn't possibly gather that much evidence in such a short amount of time. It's just impossible."
It was impossible.
Bella and Justin seemed to acquire whatever information Christopher had. The sheer number of coincidences rendered it
anything but a coincidence.
