Bella was the true love of Christopher’s life. How could he bear to destroy her…?
“What are you going to do next? Are you done considering?” The man’s lazy voice carried a hint of threat.
“Sir, give me another chance. One last chance!”
Christopher’s face was pale and greenish, emanating an ominous and vicious chill, like a demon struggling to break free from purgatory. “Isn’t your research institute developing a type of drug that could instantly cause cardiac arrest? Can you give me one?”
“Oh? What do you want that for?” The man smiled mockingly. “You aren’t thinking of using that on yourself, right? Mr. Christopher, you’re indeed daring and courageous. Do you think all those injections over the years are not enough? That drug has not passed clinical testing. There’s a huge risk.”
“I know, but this is my last resort. I want to bet on everything I have.” Christopher’s eyes were bloodshot, and even his reason was teetering on the edge.
“Sigh. If you have a healthy body and the capability, you could achieve your goal sooner or later. In the end, it’s just a woman. You don’t need to take such a huge risk.”
The man advised, “Besides, you are the number one villain in Bella’s eyes now. If anything happened to you, wouldn’t that be just what she wanted?”
“It’s not for me.”
“Oh?”
“Pity and guilt are the most difficult weaknesses to overcome for humanity.” Christopher’s gaze was deep and dark. “Bella is a kind woman. I want her to owe me forever. Only in this way can I make her stay by my side.”
……
After finishing their discussion, Bella and Justin returned to their room.
Ryan knew that Carrie would be asleep at this time, so he reluctantly headed to the study, planning to do some paperwork before ending the day.
