The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1364

Charles stared down Christopher's innocent-looking face as rage overtook him.

Just when he was about to blow up, James gave him a chilling look that woke Charles to his senses.

James expressed during the car ride that Bella possibly was not the one who was out to get him.

His mind wandered back to their conversation. "If Bella wanted to ruin you, she would've done it when you got a little too close with her sister. Why wait until now?

"Besides, only I and one other person know all the details about your little thing."

"Who is it? Who is ruining me? I want to make him pay!"

"Astrid."

"That's right! That bitch! She must have ratted me out to reduce her own sentence. I will make sure she stays behind bars."

"Even if she knew about your business and ratted you out, she couldn't possibly do much behind bars. The police couldn't have collected all the evidence. It's clear someone was helping her to exact her revenge from the outside."

"Who? Who could it be?" Charles was overwhelmed with anger.

"I can't think of anyone but Christopher. Besides, I checked Astrid's visitation records, and he visited her recently. But Dad is in favor of Christopher right now, so it won't do us any good to confront him directly. We need to get in Dad's good books again before we can get rid of him."

"This is great! Thank God my three sons are with me now."

Lance held Charles and Christopher, tearing up at the reunion. "We can be a happy family, dedicated to building the Iverson Group. Let's not get ourselves in any more trouble. You worked hard, James, but Chris was instrumental in stabilizing the company stock and getting the project in Sentania right on track. I think—"

"Dad, I have some good news to share." James cut him off haughtily.

Christopher made a face silently.

"Oh? More good news? What is it?" Overjoyed, Lance could turn a blind eye to James' rude behavior.

"Bring it in."

A secretary on standby outside the room entered with a document in hand at James' command. The secretary handed the papers to Lance with respect.

Lance took the document in confusion and flipped through it with a frown. Soon, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! This is great, James. When did you close the deal on this? This is a great surprise."

The smile on Christopher's face froze, and his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves.

"I have been preparing the project for a long time, but I didn't want to tell you before I closed it. I didn't want to get your hopes up."

James smiled honestly. "I wanted to let you know as soon as the contracts were signed. You know me. I have my own way of doing things. I don't speak my mind like Chris."

"That's true. Chris was a wild child before. After 15 years apart, he has now become my most sensible child."

Charles taunted in contempt, "Well, he could've done it sooner. Now, it just seems like he has a hidden agenda. Haha! I'm joking. I don't think before I speak. Please don't take it personally."

Christopher narrowed his eyes dangerously and replied with a smile, "You've been held in the detention center for quite a while. You must have taken a bit of drugs there too, so your thought process doesn't align with your speech."

Charles gritted his teeth, tempted to tear Christopher apart with his bare hands.

"You can never stop arguing. We should get along as a family. Can't you be like Wyatt's kids and give me a moment of peace?" Elated over the release of his son and the signing of a deal, Lance did not pay attention to their conversation.

"You're now the managing director of the Iverson Group, Chris. Do your best for the company. You can come to us for any issues. We can always talk things out for the sake of the family."
