Chapter 2134
Christopher felt as though he was being roasted alive, every inch of his body burning and aching faintly." Sorry, but please ask the Boss to be rest assured. I will definitely resolve all the troubles here at Savrow!" "You make it sound so easy." Clarice smiled coldly, "But since you became the Iverson Group's chairman, you haven't accomplished a single thing. Instead, Bella and Justin were stomping on you."
Christopher closed his reddened eyes, full of hatred and unwillingness. His gums were aching from clenching his teeth so hard.
"Chairman Iverson, don't blame me for not reminding you. You'd better get rid of the hidden threat properly. This is the last chance the Boss will give you."
The woman's voice was as cold as ice. "If you fail again, you know what fate awaits you."
Christopher had just opened his mouth, but the other end abruptly ended the call.
Facing the pitch-black screen, he only felt as if surrounded by a chill creep, falling into the endless abyss.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
After Christopher snapped back to his senses and responded, Taylor walked in with a bright smile, wearing a brand-new suit.
"Chairman Iverson, I've already proposed to Yvonne, and she agreed to marry me." Taylor could not conceal the joy in his eyes.
Christopher's pale face was emotionless. "Is that so? Congrats."
Taylor respectfully placed the wedding invitation before him. "I've already chosen the time and place of the wedding. I genuinely hope you can attend our wedding."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Christopher picked up the invite and looked at the date, saying coolly, "Taylor, I'm afraid I might not be able to attend your wedding."
Taylor's heart tightened, faintly sensing something. He asked with concern, "Chairman Iverson, did something happen? You can just tell me. I can postpone the wedding to help you get through this!"
"I understand your intentions. You've been with me for ten years. I might not trust others, but I trust you." Christopher's eyes revealed a rare hint of gentleness. "But in these turbulent times, before Owen's matter is resolved, I don't have the mood."
Taylor's face darkened. "Chairman Iverson, please give the orders."
"Have Attorney Lyles find some time to meet with Owen soon."
Christopher gradually got up and walked to the window, standing with his back facing the light, exuding a chilling aura. "As long as we take his wife as hostage firmly under our control, Owen will take everything about me into his grave."
Taylor nodded in agreement. After all, Owen was fiercely protective of his wife.
Although despicable, taking one's family hostage has always been a surefire strategy since ancient times. "Owen has a few lives on him, and the police have investigated him thoroughly. He's doomed." Taylor paused and lowered his voice. "But Chairman Iverson, after Owen is dead, how are you going to handle his wife? I remember you promising him that no matter what happens, you will keep his wife safe..."
"Ha, when have I ever kept my word?" Christopher sneered, his dark eyes full of malice. "Besides, he contacted Justin in private. He's not loyal to me at all. This restless man expects me to take care of his wife
after he's gone? How delusional."
"You're right."
Christopher lowered his eyes and pulled out a delicate steel box from his pocket. He opened it. A filled syringe lay in the box.
Taylor squinted at it. "Chairman Iverson, this drug... Didn't the Boss give it to you?"
"I've said that this thing would come in handy at the crucial moment." Christopher's eyes flashed with a dim and ambiguous light.
Justin and Ralph immediately went up to Bella just after she stepped out of the interrogation room.
"Bella, what do you think?" Ralph asked eagerly.
But Justin stayed calm, his arms gently wrapping around her slightly stiff shoulders, silently accompanying her.
Bella pursed her lips. "Although Owen did not budge until the end, I could see that he's started to sway. But there's just no opportunity to push him over the edge."
Justin's gaze deepened. "Bella, what do we need to do now?"
After a short silence, Bella said, "Wait."
Ralph was confused. "Wait for what?"
"For a certain venomous snake to feel guilty and present the opportunity to us, trapping himself in his own web!" Bella had the confidence of a top-tier strategist.
"Would it work? Besides, Christopher is cunning and devious. He was always a step ahead of us. Could he be so foolish this time?" Ralph was still uneasy.
"But it's different this time."
Bella held Justin's large hands, sliding her fingers through his hands, interlocking their fingers. "This time, we will take the initiative. As long as we guarantee Owen's safety, not even the heavens can save him."
"Bella, I understand what you mean." Justin's gaze on the woman gradually grew intense. "We can predict everything in this world except for the human heart."
