Christopher’s expression stiffened.
Wyatt did not mention Christopher’s name, but Christopher felt as if Wyatt was targeting him with each word. The anger boiling from within his heart scorched Christopher’s pale face.
“Uncle Wyatt, everything Justin does now is just to get on Bella’s good side and deceive her.”
Christopher clenched his fists tightly, his fingers almost digging into his flesh. He bore an unrelenting murderous intent toward Justin. “If he really loved Bella, how could he not fall for her during those three years of marriage, when they were living together? Any normal man would be moved by such a beautiful and outstanding woman! But he still heartlessly abandoned Bella back then. It shows that his love for Bella isn’t genuine!”
“Not genuine?” Wyatt raised an eyebrow.
“Have you ever thought about when Justin started to have feelings for Bella? Wasn’t it until after they were divorced that he got to know that the wife he had looked down upon for three years was actually the KS Group’s heiress? Everyone knew that Justin was not the son of Chairman Salvador’s first wife, and the way his mother rose to power was not honorable.
“If Chairman Salvador’s eldest son was not in poor health, how could he let Justin bear the heavy responsibility of heading the Salvador Corporation? Now that he’s pestering Bella, do you think his aim is pure and genuine? He must have an ulterior motive to use the Thompson family’s power to change his awkward position.”
Christopher’s gaze was anxious, and his words were heartfelt. He was talking until his mouth felt dry. “He forced Bella to divorce him so that he could marry someone else. He’s despicable for doing that. Aren’t you afraid of him being unfaithful a second or third time? Are you really going to gamble on Justin’s character and risk your daughter’s future?!”
Quentin listened on the side, frowning slightly. He observed Christopher discreetly.
He had not noticed before, but Quentin realized now that Christopher had a silver tongue that could twist words to his advantage.
It would be destructive if Christopher used his eloquence to distort right and wrong.
“Mr. Iverson, you seem to know more about my daughter than I do as her father.”
Wyatt’s eyes still carried a smile, but his tone was cold. “If Justin was, as you said, a shallow opportunist who only values power, he shouldn’t have accepted my daughter, who had disguised herself as a nobody since the beginning. Won’t it be easier to just marry a wealthy lady?”
Christopher suddenly fell silent, obviously not knowing what to say.
