Bellaâs brothers and Wyatt were not home tonight. They went on a
business trip, so it was mostly the women at home.
Strictly speaking, Christopher was not a stranger. At this late hour, everyone was watching Celeste due
to her incident. Bella did not want to disturb her family, so she brought Christopher to the guest hall.
Unexpectedly, Camilla was drinking coffee in the guest hall.
âCamilla, you havenât rested yet?â
Bella was a little surprised. Then, she introduced Christopher. âOh,
this is my friend, Chris-â
âChristopher Iverson, the fourth son of the Iverson family. I met him
at Aunt Celesteâs birthday banquet, and he left an impression.â
Camilla gracefully put down her coffee cup and smiled faintly at
Christopher. âApart from Bellaâs brothers, Iâve never seen any mal
friends around her. You are the first.â
âIt is my honor that Bella chose me as her friend.â
Christopher smiled sincerely. âIt is also my honor to meet the future
First Lady of Sentania in private.â
Bella was taken aback. She did not expect him to say so.
Camilla remained calm. âIâm just Bellaâs sister, and my husband is an
ordinary senator in Sentania. Youâre flattering me.â
Christopher curled his lips and said nothing.
âBella, entertain your guest. I wonât disturb you.â Camilla slowly stood
1.
Although Bella maintained a smile, she could sense that something
was off between her sister and Christopher, but she did not know
what it was.
Camilla left the guest hall, and her expression fell once she closed
the door. She took out her phone from her pocket and called her
assistant.
âIs there any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?â
âYes, Madam. The background check on Christopher Iverson has
been sent to your personal email.â
âGot it.â
As it was late, Christopher did not want to impose. He stayed for a
short while and then left.
In the car, Taylor immediately beamed. âMr. Christopher, Ms.
attitude toward you is getting better. She accepted your gift and
invited you in for a while.â
Christopher pushed his glasses, and his expression did not show
much happiness. âStart the car.â
Bella did not accept his gift, nor did she invite him inside..
It was still the same as before. He took the initiative, as it had always
been.
Bella had never taken a step towards him.
âJustin Salvador is completely out of the picture now that Ms. Bella
has grown tired of him. There is no other man around Ms. Bella who
can compare to you. You and Ms. Bella will surely be together!â
Christopher loosened his tie with his slender fingers and asked
nonchalantly, âDo you mean that Iâm not as good as Justin?â
Taylor shivered in fear. âI wouldnât dare! Please forgive me!â
âBella might have let go of Justin, but Justin has not truly given up on her. I canât let down my guard
yet.â
As he spoke, Christopher glanced outside the car window with a dark
gaze.
âMr. Christopher, I have some results from the investigation,â Taylor
said with a gloomy expression.
âSpeak.â
âSomeone did something to the horse at the racecourse that day.
ran blood tests on the horse and found narcotics.â
