"Even if you don't understand human relationships, you should have enoughmon sense at your age. Can't you see that my daughter and Mr. Salvador are Ryan's closest friends?" The boomerang of karma from his words cso suddenly that Christopher was left speechless, his face pale and burning with shand anger! Wyatt had just recovered from a serious illness and rushed back from abroad to support the Hoffman family. Who would dare to look down on Ryan after this? "Chris, let's go!" Lance, knowing that engaging in a verbal battle with his old friend would be futile, stormed out with a dark expression.

At that moment, without turning his head, Wyatt raised his voice.
"In the presence of the deceased, even a hypocritical gesture should be fully performed to maintain the dignity of a prominent family. If you cannot refrain from creating and spreading malicious gossip even at someone else's funeral, who would dare to befriend or do business with the Iverson family in the future?” An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"Hmph!" Lance gritted his teeth in anger but could only leave in a huff.

Once in the car, Lance immediately vented his frustration at Christopher. "You are so impatient! Liam is dead, so why bring up irrelevant matters? Now look at what happened! You made a fool of yourself and brought shupon us!" "Ha, Dad, have you otten?" Christopher, also seething with anger, his eyes dark and menacing, said, "It was you who insisted on attending the funeral." "If you had listened to my advice and et note to make a scene, how would Wyatt have humiliated you publicly? believe you brought this humiliation upon yourself. If I had not stepped in to salvage sdignity, Ryan alone would have trampled all over you." "Chris! You ungrateful bastard!" No one knows a son better than his father.
The Iverson father and son may not share much in terms of mutual respect, but they were both adept at hitting each other's sore spots.
"Do you think I care about a mere Hoffman family? Even without winning Bella, it does not hinderfrom making the Iverson family the foremost among the four great families." Christopher's eyes flashed with a sharp light, a mix of ruthless determination and insatiable greed.
"However, I do not makepromises. I want power, fame, wealth, and beauty. I want it all.” Lance shook his head in disbelief. “Ha, can't you see? That Thompson girl loathes you from head to toe, inside and out. She practically has 'I hate you' written all over her face, yet you still harbor such delusions!" "There are many ways to obtain what I want." Christopher closed his eyes, the smile on his face tinged with a hint of madness. He thought to himself, ‘Bella, at this point, I have long given up on winning your heart. If therees a day when I can have only your body, will I still consider it a loss?' mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflO&1
