“I checked the value of the antique, and it is more than double what you last gave to him. It shows just how much he values you.”
Christopher was filled with joy. “He is always so extraordinary and generous.”
“Moreover, he also sent the medicine you requested and left a message saying that whatever is given to you is yours to handle as you wish. You may give it to whoever you want.”
Christopher understood the meaning between the lines, and his expression behind his gold-rimmed glasses became difficult to read.
Taylor continued, “Also, as per your instructions, I have privately contacted the mayor of Terranova and two influential legislators in the political scene. You can fly to Terranova at your convenience to meet with them.”
“You did very well.”
At this moment, Christopher’s gaze inadvertently swept downstairs to the lavish scene. Coincidentally, Yvonne was sitting like a beautiful sculpture in the corner.
She used to be enchanting and radiant. Now, she exuded a cold, detached feeling of loneliness that annoyed Christopher greatly.
“In the next few days, I have matters to attend to. Let Yvonne meet the guests for me first.” Christopher’s eyes turned icy.
Taylor was startled. “Ms. Smith alone? Do you mean to let her...”
“Some officials are greedy for money, while others are lusting for power. But in my decades in the business world, I have never seen a man who is not interested in women.”
Christopher’s tone dripped with disdain and ridicule. “A man as self-righteous as Justin, do you think he cares about Bella for any other reason than her beauty?”
Taylor echoed, “You are right. That Justin is just another lecher! Ms. Thompson is wasted on a pig like him!”
