Bella was stunned.
It was hard to imagine that the man Edward spoke of was the same man who had been gentle and caring toward her.
It was completely opposite, like an angel and a devil.
âNot only that. Christopher even tried to manipulate Sentaniaâs presidential election behind the scenes.â
Camilla felt a lingering fear when she thought of what happened. She grabbed her husband's hand tightly. âHe schemed against
Edward before, but it was just media warfare. Luckily, Edward is an upright man and has never colluded with those people, so
his rival couldn't find any dirt on him. Otherwise... It would no longer be about whether Edward could become President. Iâd
probably have to send him prison food.â
Bella gasped, feeling a chill down her spine. âHe... When did he become so scary? How did he turn out like this?â
âThe environment was complex in Sentania. Christopher was not a local, so he had to rely on extreme means to make a name
for himself. After all, the start of building a business is always brutal. However, everyone should have a bottom line.â Recalling
his years of fighting with Christopher and nearly falling into his trap a few times, Edward was still furious.
Bellaâs expression stiffened, and she staggered a few steps back.
How deep of a mask must Christopher wear now to hide all this darkness beneath his gentle and warm facade, not revealing
anything?
âSo, Bella, when Asher said someone was communicating with Terranova from Savrow, my first guess was Christopher.â
Camillaâs gaze was quite heavy. âBut it's just my speculation. We donât have concrete evidence, but thereâs no harm in being
aware of that man. Bella, | know you value your connections, and you must feel upset hearing these. Putting aside your
emotions, Edward and | merely hope you can stay away from dangerous people and be safe.â
â| value my friends, but justice and righteousness always come first.â
Bella lowered her eyes gloomily. When she raised her head again, her gaze was cold and determined. âPerhaps he had a hard
time in a foreign land, but no matter how difficult it was, thereâs no excuse for profiting off hurting others and causing others to
suffer! However, | still hope Christopher could personally confess these to me for the sake of how long we have known each
other.â
âMr. Christopher! This time, you must help me get rid of this problem!â
Maxwell learned that he was wanted in Terranova, and it was an order given by the King himself. As an accomplice, Chief
Carson was arrested. Not even the military could intervene.
Maxwell was anxious and went to Pivotage to look for Christopher, searching for help.
âHow will | solve it for you?â
Christopherâs wine glass swayed in his hand as he stared at Maxwell darkly. âThe people after you are Terranovaâs royalty. Iâm
not from Terranova. How could | help you?â
âIf you didnât ask me to kill Justin and Asher, how could things come to this point?! Are you turning your back on me now?â
âDonât say you did that to help me. You just want to accomplish something and boast to your boss.â Christopher chuckled
indifferently.
Maxwell's eyes widened in anger, and he wanted nothing more than anything to rush up and tear this bastard into pieces!
However, he was in Christopher's territory. He might not even manage to step out the door if he acted recklessly.
âHmph! | knew you would play dirty tricks! Do you think | donât have a backup plan?â
Maxwell gritted his teeth resentfully. âLet me tell you. | recorded our last conversation! Say, if your beloved Bella knew you tried
to kill her brother, what would she think? Your chances with her would immediately be gone!â
After that, he made the gesture of slitting his throat.
Christopherâs pupils shrank, and a sinister light flashed across his eyes.
