NovelStart"It is so infuriating that Christopher ascended to his position so easily!" Bella exclaimed, gulping down shot tea so quickly that she scalded her tongue, resulting in her making sfunny faces.
Full of tender affection, Justin gently rubbed her head. "It may seem easy, but we know full well how much effort he put in, how many schemes he executed, and how many people he trampled on to get to where he is today." Bella squinted at him and sipped her hot drink. “Listen to yourself, Justin. It sounds like you almost sympathize with that venomous snake." The man smiled wryly. "Not at all. I am just remarking on how ruthless Christopher truly is." "He has now eliminated the three Iverson siblings and achieved his dream of becoming the CEO. What will he do next? Honestly, just thinking about it makesfeel menopausal." Bella sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Christopher's ambitions are insatiable. Being CEO will not be enough for him. He wants to replace Lance and have the entire Iverson family grovel at his feet." Justin wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. His eyes were dark and inscrutable. “So, he will not stay quiet. He will make his move. As long as he does, he will expose his wolfish nature, and we will easily catch him." "Even so, I am still worried." Bella leaned into his embrace. Her heart suddenly felt heavy with foreboding. "When Christopher first returned to the Iverson family, he already had the power to stir things up. Now, with even greater authority, I fear he will retaliate against you and my family with more ferocity." "He would not dare." Justin's eyes turned red, and his jaw clenched tightly. "Whether it is you, your father, or your brothers, if he dares to touch any of you, I will make him fall as fast as he rose. I have not forgotten how he tried to harm Asher on the South Island. Let Christopher watch as his own doomsday arrives!" Bella sighed softly, intertwining her fingers with his. She knew he thought only of her and her family, forgetting that he had been gravely injured protecting her on the South Island and had nearly lost his life. She would also settle this grudge with that venomous snake, Christopher! * Since that night, when Mila and Arnold had their secret conversation, an indescribable somber mood had enveloped the entire Yara Park. lingered between Arnold and Asher. Despite Arnold's carefree nature, he was also as stubborn and unyielding as a mule. The more Mila urged him to leave, the more determined Arnold was to stay, silently defying her wishes.
In recent days, Asher seemed very busy and had been spending the whole day at the KS Group's headquarters before returning hvery late. Arnold waited from dawn to dusk. When he finally saw his beloved Asher return, Asher Was always accompanied by the butler or Steven. On the rare occasions when Asher was alone, just as Arnold was about to approach, Asher would shut the door heavily, leaving Arnold out in the cold.
For several long, lonely nights, Arnold sat by the window, smoking one cigarette after another until dawn. His eyes turned dark and sunken, and his once handsomeface becweary and haggard. Although Asher had never been particularly warm toward him, even the small amount of warmth he had relied on was now gone. How could he be content with this? Arnold had finally seen Asher open his heart to him. How could he let everything return to the way it was before? Today, as Asher stepped out of his room, impeccably dressed and with a stern expression, Arnold immediately blocked his path. "Ash!" Arnold called out urgently, his voice completely hoarse.
Asher stopped abruptly, his jet-black eyes narrowing. "What are you doing here?" "I have been waiting outside your door since you cback last night," Arnold said hesitantly with tired, bloodshot eyes. "What is going on? Why are you avoiding me?"
