“Perhaps the reason for the lack of security tonight was a conspiracy by him and Zoe to grab love for themselves and take advantage of it!”
Axel was straightforward. He wasn’t as patient as his elder brother and was ready to expose Christopher’s hypocritical facade.
Wyatt and Celeste were both stunned, finding it hard to believe.
“Mr. Axel, I know that the both of you aren’t fond of me, and you’re well aware of how much I love Bella. But that doesn’t give you the right to freely attack my character however you want.”
Christopher adjusted his glasses gently. “I have no connection with Zoe except for that one incident at the horse racing event. I intervened to help Bella when Zoe caused trouble for her. That’s all there is to it. You’re Bella’s brother, so I won’t delve deeper into this matter. But I hope there won’t be a next time.”
Damn!
If his father and Celeste weren’t present, Axel would have exploded. Christopher was an expert at accusing others and shifting responsibilities onto others. It was time to knock some sense into this guy.
“Axel, don’t spout nonsense without evidence.” Wyatt reminded him with an intense expression.
Axel was burning with impatience and was about to step forward when Asher grabbed his arm just in time.
“Mr. Iverson, there’s no way you can marry Bella. As for your second brother, Charles, his wish to marry Amelia is out of the question!”
Asher’s declaration left both Wyatt and Celeste stunned.
Christopher suddenly looked concerned, his mind filled with doubts.
“Chairman Thompson! Chairman Iverson is here to see you!” The housekeeper burst into the room, panting.
“Lance is here? At this hour?” Wyatt said, surprised, as he glanced at his watch.
This time, the visit to the Thompson family was different. He wasn’t alone, as he had brought along his eldest son, James, who made quite an impression.
"Asher! What’s gotten into you?! How could you treat Charles like that?! This is too much!”
