Chapter 824
Bella found it unbelievable after hearing the story.
Christopher had always been gentle and graceful. How could he do something so vicious?
He could have hired someone to handle it if he
wanted to deal with Charles. With Christopher’s status, why would he
need to do it himself?
Bella steadied herself and said seriously, “Mr. Charles, this is not a
small matter. You need evidence. Furthermore, you should tell this to
Uncle Lance and the police, not me.”
“Ms. Thompson, you saved me. You’re my savior! How heartless
must I be to watch you jump into a hellhole?”
Charles’ gaze was anxious and sincere. “I know Charles is pursuing
you, and you are quite close with him. I’m afraid you couldn’t see his
true colors and were deceived by him! That brat has been psych
since he was young! That gentleman’s act is only his disguise. In

advantage. He doesn’t really care about

you!”
Even though Christopher was not a good man, Charles was not muc
different. After all, he was the mastermind behind the accident at the
racecourse.
Charles knew Christopher wanted to avenge Bella, and his psychotic
nature made him handle things himself to gain satisfaction.
Now that Charles was disabled, he was certain that his marriage to
Bella was off the table.
Since he could not have her, that scoundrel would not have it easy
either. Charles wanted to tear his disguise apart.
Walking out of the ward, Bella seemed deep in thought.
The Iversons gathered at the door, stepping forward to ask her about the situation. She
answered earnestly, but her eyes flickered, showing
that her mind was somewhere else.
At this moment, Bella noticed Christopher standing in the corner.
She pursed her lips and walked toward him.
“Bella, thanks for your hard work.” Christopher straightened his back, which was leaning
against the wall, and smiled at her.
He was as warm as the sun, not at all like the vicious monster in
Charles’ description.
“Chris, can I talk to you alone?” Bella’s tone was natural, but her
expression was solemn.
“Sure.”
Watching them leave, Lance nodded in satisfaction.
“James, do you also think Christopher and Bella look like a good
match?”
James asked in a low voice, “Dad, are you really giving up on Charles?”
“With the current situation, is it still possible to let Bella marry
Charles?”
Lance glanced at Christopher’s back with a meaningful gaze. “They were
childhood friends, which makes them closer. If they could make
it work, that wouldn’t be bad. Although I’m dissatisfied with
Christopher, he’s still my son.”
James’ face darkened behind Lance when he heard this.
In a cafe across the street from the hospital, Bella and Christopher sat facing each other.
Christopher considerately ordered a strawberry
shortcake for Bella, afraid she would be hungry from working all
morning.

strawberries.”
“Chris, do you consider me a friend?” Bella suddenly interrupted.
Christopher’s eyelashes fluttered. “Of course. Apart from my mother, you are the person I
cherish the most.”
“Then I want to hear the truth from you.”
Bella took a deep breath. “Do you have anything to do with Charles’
accident?”
“Did Charles tell you that?” Christopher’s grip on his coffee cup
tightened.
“I this.”

“If I say no, would you believe me?”
Christopher slowly raised his eyes, revealing a hint of sadness. “You
asked so because you suspect me. You’re questioning my character.
In your heart, am I less trustworthy than Charles?”
Bella looked at him in a daze.
At this moment, she thought of Justin. That man had once
hysterically questioned her, “Why won’t you give me a little trust?”
