Christopher’s expression resembled that of a ruthless predator, who no longer bothered to hide his true nature in front of James.
“So... You’ve suddenly come back just to take revenge against the Iverson family?! You’re responsible for what happened to both Charles and Astrid, aren’t you? Now you’re coming after me too?! You shameless and despicable jerk!”
James was livid, his anger shaking him to his core as his emotions neared a breaking point. “I’m going to tell Dad! I’ll tell him everything you’ve done! I’ll make him see through your sinister intentions, your ugly face!”

Christopher forcefully shoved James, making the latter stumble. He raised his chin slightly and walked inside arrogantly.
As the door closed, James realized his injuries had not been tended to yet. The pain made him collapse, and he held his head in agony.
