Bella and Asher stared fixedly at Justin. They spoke at the same time. "Are you suspecting Christopher?"
Christopher's name was the synonym for all evil now.
Justin curled his thin lips helplessly. "Sorry. I could be overly sensitive about this person. Whenever anything happens that
involves the Iverson Group, I instinctively think of him."
"Justin, your thoughts are totally valid." Bella's gaze was gentle as she held his arm and supported her man.
"When in doubt, blame Christopher. Besides, I think your analysis makes sense. Those three pig- headed Iverson siblings
combined could not outsmart Christopher. Otherwise, they wouldn't end up so miserably."
Justin looked at her beautiful and rosy face, chuckling dotingly.
"Justin's analysis isn't unreasonable."
Asher's gaze was dark. "I've been investigating him secretly. I don't need to emphasize how shady his business in Sentania is,
but it's not the most important. What matters is that he has enough power and wealth to manipulate the elections. This meant he
could rival a financial conglomerate.
"Back then, he was merely a discarded son of the Iverson family. He had no foundation and was dependent on his sickly and frail
mother. Therefore, someone must be helping him behind the scenes to get him to his current position, even helping him return to
Savrow to seize power.
"Not only that. He's been playing a wolf in sheep's clothing in the Iverson family. When the obstacles who stood before him fall
one by one, his true nature will be revealed inevitably."
Bella frowned and nodded. "Yeah. Christopher's influence far exceeds that of James, who was the CEO of Iverson Group.
Christopher is always putting on a disguise."
"His only remaining obstacle now is James."
A sharp light flashed across Justin's eagle eyes. "In that case, the person who actually got those photos is most likely
Christopher."
Asher's lips twitched, trying hard to suppress his surging anger.
"After getting the photos, he didn't want to dirty his hands, so he wanted to use James to expose it. With that, we couldn't trace it
to him, and he could just sit back and watch."
Justin sneered, gritting his teeth. "Ha, what a good way to make use of James. Such a vicious move is indeed his style."
"James had already been defeated by him and completely lost Lance's trust. He's been kicked out of the Iverson Group's
headquarters."
Bella pressed against the man's waist and blinked at him. "He could get anyone to expose it. Why did he give this opportunity to
James? If I were James and got my hands on this opportunity to tackle our enemy, I'd use it as leverage to negotiate with Lance.
How does that benefit Christopher? Isn't it troublesome for him if James manages to rise again?"
Justin curled his lips, his voice gentle. "Bella, you're still too kind. Your siblings have a great relationship with you, and your family
protects you too well. That's wonderful." Asher raised a brow, feeling rather amused.
Justin was truly blinded by love to call Bella kind.
It was true in a way. Bella could be like an angel when she was kind, but she could also turn into John Wick when she needed to
be ruthless.
Justin could figure it out slowly.
"But you should know that there's no kinship in wealthy families. Siblings turning against each other and trying to tear each other
down are all too common."
Justin's expression was as cold as ice. "How could merely dethroning James satisfy Christopher? He wanted to destroy James,
ensuring James could never rise again."
"So... Asher and Arnold's relationship was only bait."
Bella's mind raced, her thoughts becoming clear with a little tip from him. Her eyes reddened. "He knew we would trace it to
James, so he wanted to use us to eliminate James, thinking that we'd get rid of his last obstacle for him?"
Justin nodded slightly. "Bella, you're really smart."
"Fuck! That shameless man!"
Bella was enraged, bending down to pick up a stone and throwing it fiercely at a tree trunk. "Does he think hes God?! He thinks
everyone is under his control, and he can manipulate anyone he wants? Fine. Very well. I'll let him taste the consequences of
playing with fire!"
The two men could not help but smile when they heard her words, lightening the tense atmosphere a little.
"Bella, you and Justin must get to the bottom of Dad's illness being exposed and seek justice for Dad."
Asher fell silent for a moment, his handsome face overshadowed with a hint of gloom. "But let's leave my matter at that.
Revenge doesn't matter anymore. I don't care about power and name, and I don't care how the public sees our relationship."
