Chapter 825
“Charles lost a leg. He wouldn’t go to that extent to frame you.”
“Charles is merely James’ tool. He did many dirty things for James
and made enemies in Savrow. There are many people who might
target him.”
Christopher gritted his teeth. “Moreover, he deserved what he got
today.”
He then told Bella about the truth behind the racecourse accident.
“If anyone had malicious intentions, it’d be Charles!”
Bella stared at him without a word.
“Bella, I’ve never taken the Iverson family seriously. If I wanted to deal
with them, it wouldn’t be with such a vulgar method. It’s not my style.”
Christopher straightened his back and drank a sip of coffee, his
movements graceful and proud.
Over the past 15 years, Christopher has long since abandoned his
conscience to survive in Sentania with his mother. He got used to a
performative personality and lied without blinking an eyelash.
Even though he was facing the woman he loved, he could still
instinctively lie to her time and time again.
There was kindness in lies.
Christopher believed that his lies to Bella were out of good intentions
and were also a manifestation of his love.
Bella fixed her sharp gaze on him. Her eyes were clear and bright,
making even someone mentally strong and vicious like Christopher feel a slight unease in his heart.
“Chris, I like people who are kind and upright. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I hope that no matter what happens, you can
maintain a pure.
and kind heart, just like when you were a child.”
Christopher’s fingers curled on the table. He felt a throb of pain in his
heart, and it spread throughout his veins with a sense of shame.
His mouth twitched, and he took a big bite of the cake, chewing
forcefully. ‘Bella, just like my surging love for you, spilled water is
difficult to retrieve. Some things can’t go back to the way they were.”
After parting with Christopher, Bella felt a mix of emotions.
At this moment, Asher called her. She absentmindedly picked up the
call.
“Asher.”
“Bella, Drew got what you wanted.” Asher smiled faintly.
“What I wanted? What is it?” Bella was confused.
“Arnold Larson.”
Bella was shocked and almost spat out her drink.
“To drag him back to Savrow, Drew spent quite a bit of effort. You
must thank him well when you see him tonight.”
“Drew will be back tonight? That’s great! I miss him so much!” Bella
rubbed her eyes, her voice choking up.
Asher sensed her emotions and said apologetically, “Ooops, I
promised Drew to keep it a secret as he wanted to surprise you, but I let it slip because I was too happy.”
“Asher, I don’t need surprises. I only want my family to be with me.”
However, she knew it was hard.
“Bella, are you at Savrow? At Charles’ hospital?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll pick you up.”
“There’s no need, Asher. I can’t go back yet.”
“It’s not just my idea. Dad also wants you to come back.”
Asher’s tone lowered. “Dad said you’ve already saved Charles’ left leg,
We did all that we could. There’s no need to worry more about it. The
Iverson family must be in chaos because of this incident. Although our families are close, we need to stay out of it. That’s why
Dad asked me to pick you up.”
Bella frowned. Back then, she kept in contact with the Salvador family due to Justin and Nigel. Also, it was so that she could
scheme against Shannon and Bethany. However, Wyatt was not as cautious
as with the Iverson family.
It seemed like her father was dissatisfied with the Iverson family.
