Christopher shook his head with a faint smile and slowly sat down in front of Lance. "Dad, we're both in the business world, so we know that empty promises and verbal promises are meaningless. As long as I becCEO, I guarantee that all the current troubles will be taken care of." Lance's eyes darkened. He asked, "Does that include Asher?" Christopher's expression remained unchanged. "Our Iverson family has been targeted repeatedly, and Asher is certainly behind this. Even if you don't speak up, I won't just sit back and let the Thompson family walk all over us." "Oh?" Lance gave him a suspicious look and asked, "Isn't Bella the woman you insisted on marrying? Asher is her brother, right? Can you really bring yourself to take action against him?" Christopher helplessly shrugged and replied, "I can't help it. I've always been one to keep business matters separate from personal ones." "Good, you truly know how to separate personal matters from business!" Lance expressed his approval.

"Christopher, Dad is getting old, and your older brother is too incompetent. The future of the Iverson family depends on you!" "Thank you for your trust. I won't let you down." Christopher paused for a moment, then his tone suddenly turned serious. "Dad, I hope you can keep our conversation today a secret from James. The fewer people who know about our plan, the greater the chances of success." * Three days later, there was a board meeting held at the Iverson Group.

"Congratulations, Mr. Iverson! You're finally the rightful CEO of Iverson Group!" Taylor was so excited that he could hardly speak coherently.
"This title doesn't sound too pleasing yet. When I'm the chairman, then I'll consider my mission accomplished. That's when I'll be truly satisfied." Christopher squinted with joy, suddenly tilting his hand and pouring the auction grade wine worth millions of dollars as if it were water. The man, groveling at his feet like a dog, lifted his head and opened his mouth wide to catch the falling wine. Even though Taylor choked and turned red, he still forced himself to appear excited and joyful. Christopher was an expert at harming and toying with people. At Pivotage, everyone except him was merely a stray dog.
“That old fool Lance is utterly useless, just an empty figurehead of a chairman. You have the final say in all the major and minor matters, don't you?" Taylor was elated. "Oh, by the way, sir, upon hearing of your promotion, the boss specially sent someone from Meridan to deliver an exquisite piece of antique."
