"Heh... James, you're pretty young. If you don't know how I've made it this far, just ask your father when you get back home." Wyatt's eagle-like stare was unwavering. "Find out what happens to those who are enemies of Wyatt Thompson!" James felt a chilling fear but managed to keep his cool, refusing to show any vulnerability.
"I'm standing here not as the seventh young master of the Thompson family, but as a police officer to inform you." With a swift motion, Ralph presented the arrest warrant in front of the Iverson family. "The police have officially arrested Charles on charges of rape, backed by solid evidence and witness testimony. The Iverson family should prepare to attend the trial of Charles Iverson." Lance's expression turned gloomy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was unquestionably an official arrest warrant issued by the police. There was no way out but to accept the truth.
James wanted to fight back but was abruptly stopped by his father, who quietly urged, "What more is there to say at this point?! We need to focus on getting back and saving Charles right now." As the Iverson father and son were leaving in shame, Wyatt stared at their backs with red eyes and yelled, "The union between our family is over! Don't ever mention it again! I will pursue the matter of Charles assaulting my daughter to the end." Lance gritted his teeth with hatred and angrily yelled at Christopher, who remained motionless. "Christopher! Let's go!" Although Christopher didn't want to leave like this, the icy stares from the Thompson family members made it hard for him to stay. So he shot Bella a deep glance before stepping away.
The young woman felt queasy from that look, almost making her vomit. But she was secretly relieved because things turned out okay.
The alliance with the Iverson family had finally cto an end.
* On the drive home, the Iverson family sat in their spacious Bentley in a somber mood.
James gave Lance two anti-hypertensive tablets and did his best to reassure him, but his blood pressure remained high. "Charles is such a fool! Why did he have to choose the daughter of that mistress? He could have picked anyone else, but he had to go for her. It's like asking for trouble!" "Seriously, it's not like he's the one getting married. Why did he get into so much trouble?" Christopher fumed, glaring with resentment. "Already impotent yet still trying to mess around with women? Haha! It's ridiculous that he got labeled as a rapist." "Shut up! How dare you speak about your own brother like that?! And why were you at the Thompson family tonight?" Lance questioned him angrily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why else? Obviously, it's all about impressing the Thompson family," James mocked, taking the opportunity to harshly criticizet Christopher. "Our fourth brother is really working hard to bectheir future son-in-law. Have you ever been this devoted to Dad since you were young? I doubt you've shown even half as much concern for Dad as you have for Wyatt." "Is the marriage only for my sake? I'm also doing it for the Iverson family!" Christopher retorted angrily.
"Enough!" Lance angrily slammed the armrest and stared at Christopher. "You're forbidden from talking to Bella! Quit trying to win over the Thompson family and making us look bad." "Why should I suffer for Charles' mistake? What's wrong withbeing in touch with Bella?" Christopher's paranoia was making him irrational. "If I marry Bella, we can still stay connected to the Thompson family and benefit from their resources. What's wrong with that?" "Hahaha... Christopher, are you delusional? Things have gotten to this point, and you're still dreaming marrying Bella?" James about chuckled. "Even if Justin's been turned down by Chairman Thompson and the guy is completely out of the picture, Bella would never fall in love with you." "Actions speak louder than words. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't either." Christopher said as he adjusted his glasses, a fierce determination in his eyes.
"Enough! Let's not discuss this now.
Charles' situation is urgent!" Lance grabbed James's arm, his et expression dark and determined. "Although Charles is being accused of rape, he didn't actually do anything with that girl. It was an attempted assault. No matter what, we have to find a way to get him out."
