Chapter 325


    Suddenly, the hall fell silent, and the air became somewhat tense. Be turned in surprise, meeting


    Christopher’s gentle gaze.


    The way Christopher said “Be” made Charles scowl even more. Wyatt nced at his beloved


    daughter and appraised Christopher. His gaze was unreadable, yet he only smiled lightly, saying,


    “Chris, you purposely went to pick up Be? That’s too much trouble.”


    “Uncle Wyatt, you’re too polite.”


    Axel nudged Asher with his elbow and asked in a low voice, “Ash, when did Be get so close to


    Christopher? I had no idea!”


    “Do I need to disclose every detail about Be?” Asher remarked casually.


    “Are you aware of their rtionship, then?”


    “I am.”


    “Damn! Are you showing off how much closer you are to Be?!”


    “I asked Christopher to escort Be back.”


    Axel drew a sharp breath. “Ash, how can you casually push our baby sister toward another man? It’s


    hard to know someone’s true colors. What if this Christopher has impure intentions toward her? What if


    he makes unwanted advances on the way?”


    “Impure intentions aremonce. In this world, no man will be immune to Be’s charm. As for the


    latter, we don’t need to concern ourselves with it.”


    Asher lightly smirked. “If Christopher were the person you described, would he still be standing here in


    front of us with all his limbs intact?”


    “Hmm, valid point.”


    After all, being the heiress of KS Group, Be had been taught by Drew and Asher how to wield a


    sword and handle a gun since childhood, while her peers were still ying with dolls.


    In truth, Asher’s actions were not entirely selfless. Justin had firmly entrenched himself in Be’s life for


    13 full years. Even though Be had uprooted that man from her heart, the deep and heart-wrenching


    wound left by Justin could not be ignored.


    At this moment, she needed someone in her life to fill the void in her heart. Her brothers could not y


    this role, but Asher felt that Christopher could do so.


    The men engaged in conversation in the living room, while the three madams “interrogated” Be in the


    backyard.


    “Be,e clean. What’s your rtionship with Christopher?” Sasha, with a sly smile, hugged Be’s


    slender waist and straightforwardly posed the question.

    “Consider us friends,” Be said calmly.


    “A boyfriend?” Sasha excitedly pressed for details.


    “A male friend!” Be was exasperated.


    “Oh, there’s no such thing as tonic friendship between men and women. So, he’s your boyfriend.


    Even if you’re not official now, it’s bound to happen!” Sasha casually pinched Be’s slim waist.


    “Back then, when I saved your dad from an attempted assassination by a business rival, he said he


    wanted to be sworn siblings with me. Look at us now! We just haven’t had a child.”


    Be waspletely speechless, defeated by Sasha’sck of filter.


    M and Celeste looked at each other, not annoyed but rather amused by the situation.


    After all, if it were not for Sasha’s brave intervention back then, Wyatt might not be alive today. There


    were still two gunshot scars on Sasha’s lower back and left shoulder from the time she shielded Wyatt


    from a bullet.


    “Be, it would be great if you could be with Christopher. It’s not just about matching social status.


    Lance Iverson and your father are close. If you marry into the Iverson family, they will surely treat you


    well.” Celeste swooned. “Besides, Christopher is very handsome. Your children would undoubtedly be


    incredibly good-looking.”


    “Wait a minute! How did we suddenly jump to having children together?! He has nothing to do with


    me… Where is this even going?!” Be felt the conversation was getting more absurd.


    “Celeste, I think Be should not choose a lifelong partner solely based on looks.” M, being more


    rational, narrowed her eyes slightly and seriously analyzed the situation.


    “From what I know, Christopher had just returned from Sentania. He doesn’t hold much stake in the


    Iverson Group, and his foundation is not very stable. His mother has been exiled abroad by Lance


    under the guise of seeking medical treatment, and she’s rarely heard from. If we let Be marry him, it


    may seem like a good match on the surface, but in reality, she might be marrying beneath her status.


    Who knows? Christopher might be eyeing Be’s worth, wanting to leverage her substantial


    background to gain power within the Iverson family.” M expressed her concerns.


    “Oh dear! What you said makes a lot of sense. We really shouldn’t be hasty about this!” Sasha, always


    swaying with the wind, was now echoing caution.


    “Be, even when shopping, wepare prices from three different stores. When ites to


    marriage, we can’t treat it lightly. Either don’t get married, or marry someone truly exceptional if you do.


    Maybe you should consider Charles?” Celeste suggested.


    Be felt overwhelmed and could not find the words to exin herself. She covered her head with both


    hands, feeling frustrated.


    With so many mothers around, their nagging was like having eight hundred mosquitoes buzzing in her


    ears.


    Her head was throbbing.
