“Really, she didn’t meet anyone. I swear!” Taylor’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart beat wildly.
Christopher leaned back, curling his lips coldly. “It seems you really like her.”
“I…” Taylor stammered in a panic, but his face turned red.
“In that case, let me call the shots once. You should marry Yvonne.”
Taylor’s eyes widened in surprise. “You… You want me to marry Yvonne?!”
“You’ve always fancied her, and I know that much.” Christopher closed his eyes casually, “It’s been a long time since the Iverson Group has anything to celebrate. You served me loyally all these years and have never asked for anything. I’m not a heartless person. I know what you desire most in your heart, so I’ll give you Yvonne. If you don’t mind, treat it as a token of appreciation from me.”
Taylor was so excited that his lips trembled, almost crying in joy. “Thank you… Thank you! Chairman Iverson, it’s my honor to be able to marry Yvonne, and it’s a blessing from you. How would I mind? I would even smile in my dreams!”
“Start preparing for the wedding soon. I’ll definitely give you and Yvonne a generous wedding gift.”
Christopher’s smile did not reach his eyes. “You should have the wedding back in Sentania. After that, ask Yvonne to live in Sentania and don’t come back to Savrow. Unfortunately, that means you would have to travel between two places.”
Taylor seemed to realize something, and his heart tightened. “Yes, Chairman Iverson. I understand. But, about Owen... How are you planning to handle it?”
“He was in the police force for decades, so he should know how to judge the situation.” Christopher’s slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of dark, cold glint. “Besides, his weakness is still in my hands. If he’s smart, he should know the consequences of betraying me.”
……
The news of Deputy Chief Owen Hopkins’ arrest for murder had caused a nationwide uproar, completely shattering the public’s perception.
