Chapter 359: Chapter 359

Benjamin’s father was a merciless man. Ever since I was little, I had always been terrified of his minatory aura. Being suddenly confronted by him, my face turned pale. What do I say to him? I can’t possibly tell him that his son is trying to help Crystal by ruining the wedding ceremony. I was only trying to divert everyone’s attention.

While I was caught in a quandary, Christopher’s voice was heard out of nowhere.

Upon hearing Christopher’s words, everyone was stupefied. However, some of the people there thought that Lyle was the one who yelled out those words. “Lyle, you aren’t married to Yvonne anymore. Why are you still covering for her? Look what she has done to Crystal,” uttered Natalie, with a sullen look on her face.

“Lyle, you’re like a brother to Benjamin. How could you say such a thing?”

Lyle had an awkward look on his face as he pondered on how he should respond.

Gazing at his face, I almost burst out laughing.

Nathan was irritated at me for being frivolous at a time like this. He lifted his hand and was getting ready to slap me. Fortunately, Christopher appeared just in time to stop him.

He grabbed hold of Nathan’s arm with one hand and let out a sinister smile. “Mr. Lane, Eve is my woman. Even if you’re her father, you can’t just hit her. I’ll be heartbroken if something happens to her.”

“What! There’s no way Christopher Lane said that! I must be hearing things right?”

“Yeah, is Christopher drunk or something? How could he say that? Does he not care about Monica anymore?”

“Stop joking around, Christopher. It’s not funny.”

I was baffled after hearing Christopher’s statement. I was in a greater shock than when I first heard that Crystal had plagiarized my work. It’s Christopher that we’re talking about here. He’s one of the wealthiest men in Avenport.

The crowd was staring at Christopher as they opened a path for him. Even though his attire was a bit messy, it complemented very well with his evil charm.

His cold demeanor made him look rather suave. All the girls in the crowd almost passed out because of his charm. “Eve is my woman. Do I make myself clear?”

“Christopher, you’re… You’re kidding, right?” Nathan queried incredulously as he shook off Christopher’s hand.

“Haha, very funny Christopher. You sure got us good. You should really stop joking around like that. What if Ms. Martin heard you?” Natalie uttered with a straight face.

Christopher reached out his hand and pulled me into his arms in front of everyone. After that, he glanced at Nathan and replied nonchalantly, “Mr. Lane, it seems to me that you don’t know much about Eve at all. Have you ever really cared about her? You seem to care more about Ms. Yates than your own daughter from what I see.”

Amused by what he said, the crowd started laughing. On the contrary, Nathan was livid.

“Christopher, you have taken this too far.” Nathan took a deep breath to compose himself.

“Mr. Lane, Eve and I will pay you a visit on another day. Hopefully, you’ll not show your contempt toward her.” Christopher winked at me with a smug look on his face. Just look at this ostentatious fellow, trying to act all cool again.
