Chapter 767
Bella immediately stood up from her chair and widened her eyes. “I haven’t even rode it
yet!”
“Come on, just let her be. You easily give away jewelry worth millions, but you’re reluctant
to let people ride your horse?”
At this moment, the faint sound of Sasha’s voice came from outside
the window.
“Giddy up! Hahaha!”
Bella rubbed her temples. “Well, as long as she’s happy.”
Camilla slowly sat on the sofa, pursing her lips, looking as if
something was on her mind.
“Camilla, you must have something to tell me if you came over so
late.”
Bella walked over and sat next to her, holding her arm intimately. S
asked in a low voice, “Is it related to Christopher?”
“I remember that he used to come over to our house when you wer
kids. You seem to be close to him,” Camilla asked.

“Yeah. We were classmates in elementary school.”
Bella narrowed her eyes and recalled, “At that time, he was bullied in class, so I helped
him. He was grateful and always clung to me like a little follower. Because of my family
background, nobody in class played with me. They avoided me. I could only pair up with

Christopher, so we were playmates. To be honest, I was quite happy during our childhood.
Later, he went to Sentania with his mother, and we lost contact for 15 years.”
“Fifteen years? That means when he reappeared, he was basically a stranger to you.”
Camilla looked deep in thought.
“Yeah. When I first saw him, I didn’t even recognize him. He was so
small and cute back then, like a little girl. But now, he’s an ideal man-
tall and handsome.”
“Do you think he’s handsome? Between Christopher and Justin, who
do you think is better looking?” Camilla playfully winked at her.
“Camilla, did Justin secretly bribe you? Why do you keep mentioning
his name? Ugh!” Bella’s heart twitched, and she pouted.
“Bella, I am not against you befriending Christopher. Chairman. Iverson is good friends
with Dad, so his son won’t mistreat you. But…”
Thinking about the investigation results about Christopher, Camilla
darkened her expression. “Christopher is not as simple as he looks. I
did a background investigation on him in private. He has a wide ra
of businesses in Sentania that cover many fields. He has a comp
network. Sentania’s situation is complicated. Gangs and drugs a
everywhere. The politicians and businessmen collude brazenly. Afte
my husband takes office, the first thing he needs to tackle is drug
trafficking.”
Bella could not help but feel worried for her sister. “Camilla, it sounds like you guys will
have a tough road ahead.”
“Don’t change the subject.”

Camilla’s expression was serious. “In Sentania, the scale of Christopher’s business meant
that he could not avoid being in the drug trade. I heard he was even summoned by the
police due to his involvement in the drug trade. However, he was released because of

“What did you say?” Bella’s pupils shrank.
“Although there’s no evidence, and he went back safely, not being convicted doesn’t
mean he’s innocent. Since he was investigated, there was a high possibility of him being
involved. Furthermore, he was investigated by my husband’s student. That man was
righteous and impartial. He wouldn’t be bought off, and he wouldn’t slander
someone without a reason.”
Camilla held Bella’s hand tightly, concern showing in her eyes. “Bella, it’s fine for you to
be friends. But don’t get too close to a dangerous
man like Christopher.”
Bella’s eyelashes fluttered as she pondered. Then, she nodded. “ Camilla, I’m an adult
who has been through many things. I’ve seen t
cruelest battlefield and the darkest side of humanity. I’ll keep y
words in mind.”
Five days later, a row of black luxury cars entered Tideview Manor in the evening, lining up
at the entrance.
A few bodyguards clad in black suits got off first. The golden badge
pinned to their chests indicated that they were from the Hoffman
family.
