Chapter 681 

“You brat! How dare you speak to your own father like that?” Lance was furious. If it were not for the crowd of guests, he would have slapped some sense into Christopher by now! 

Aside from Wyatt Thompson, most of the older folks at the party believed in a strict approach to teaching. 

Top-notch people did not need much guidance, but average folks 

needed some rules. Meanwhile, troublemakers need to be seriously 

disciplined. 

Dealing with his son required even more than that. Christopher 

needed to be taught a lesson he would never forget! 

“If you showed some respect for my mother, maybe we can still 

salvage what’s left of our relationship. But if you keep this up, I’ve got 

harsher words for you,” Christopher said with a smirk. 

His smile seemed mocking, yet his gaze was dead serious. 

The fake smile made Lance feel uneasy. 

At the end of the hallway, the two Iverson men confronted each other 

on the terrace. 

The temperature outside couldn’t match the heated tension between 

them. 

“What do you want?” Lance questioned him, his face as cold as frost. 

“I didn’t know the true value of the gift I gave to Madam Celeste. If you think my gift outshone yours and hurt your pride, then I 

apologize,” Christopher said dismissively. “After all, ignorance is 

bliss, right?” 

“That’s not the issue!” Lance stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger. “Why did you bring her to such an occasion? Are you trying to embarrass me or provoke me intentionally?” 

Christopher burst into laughter. “I thought it was something 

important, but it turns out to be just this.” 

“Christopher!” Lance clenched his fists, his eyes turning red. 

“Do you now find my mother repulsive? She’s the one you promised to grow old with, through good times and tough times.” Christopher’s eyes reddened. “You ignored her for fifteen years in Sentania. Now 

that I’m taking care of her, who are you to call her disgusting? I 

haven’t disrespected you, and that’s just me fulfilling my duty as a 

son.” 

“You animal!” Lance finally became furious and slapped Christopher. 

Christopher’s cheek instantly swelled with his father’s handprint. Yet 

he still smiled, his eyes almost bloodthirsty. “Dad, you’ve gotten weak 

lately. That slap was weaker than before. Don’t my brothers usually 

help you stay strong?” 

“Shut up, you animal!” Lance pointed angrily at his defiant son. “Take 

your mother and leave now! If you don’t, I’ll send someone to take her 

away and send her back to Sentania!” 

“How dare you!” Christopher clenched his fists with veins bulging on

his forehead. His fierce side sharply contrasted with his usual 

calmness in front of Bella. “Tonight, I won’t hesitate to kill anyone 

who dares to touch my mother!” 

“You!” Lance’s eyes narrowed sharply. 

He truly felt a chilling, murderous intent coming from his son’s 

intense, bloodshot eyes. 

“As long as the Iversons are allowed to be here, my mother has the right to stay too. And tonight, you saw that both my mother and I are guests of Ms. Bella. If you kick my mother out, it’s disrespectful to Ms. Bella. Whatever plans you have won’t work if you offend her.” 

Christopher didn’t want more words with this scheming old man and 

turned to leave. 

“I never betrayed your mother. It was she who destroyed our 

marriage, making me look like a bad guy! And because of that, I lost a daughter!” 

Lance couldn’t hold back and yelled, “If she didn’t have an affair with some random guy, she wouldn’t have had a miscarriage! She could 

have been the respected Mrs. Iverson, not a laughingstock!” 

“I believe in my mother’s character. She loved you deeply and would 

never want another man.”

Chapter 682 

Christopher was on the verge of losing control. His shoulders shook, and his hoarse voice expressed deep anguish and resentment. 

“I’ve said it many times before. James, Charles, and Astrid-your most trusted children-conspired against my mother! Without investigating the truth or listening to my mother’s explanation, you just sent her away to that dreadful place. Marrying you was the worst 

thing that happened to my mother!” 

“Sparing her and keeping her as Mrs. Iverson was already showing enough respect! I caught them red-handed with my own eyes! What more does she need to explain?” Lance could not reel back his anger, 

and his face turned red. 

Recalling the awful incident from years ago, Lance wished he could 

strangle Sophie then and there. Now, he still had to deal with this little 

troublemaker right in front of him! 

“Idiot.” Christopher sneered, muttering under his breath, then turned 

away again. 

In truth, he had no intention of bringing up this painful matter. Each 

recount of his mother’s humiliation reopened old wounds. This time, 

it was just an impulsive response. 

He had long given up on expecting Lance to realize the truth about his 

three scheming children. It didn’t matter to him anymore because all 

of them would soon face their downfall.
