Christopher was filled with joy, and it showed on his face. “Thank you,


    Be.”


    Be led Christopher and Sophie into the hall.


    “Look, James. It’s that woman.” Charles pointed at the door in


    surprise.


    James swirled his wine ss and looked up callously.


    His brows furrowed when he saw Christopher enjoying a goodugh


    with Be.


    “Christopher seems close with Be.”


    “Tsk, I bet he’s all over her.”


    Charles gnashed his teeth and kept a close eye on Christophe gulping down a mouthful of wine.


    “Christopher is such a bitch.”


    “He can’t stop sucking up to Ms. Be. If they do end up together,


    would have him wrapped around her little finger.”


    Coral looked at Charles in disdain, finding her brother-inw


    distasteful. He did not behave like a gentleman at all.


    “Wasn’t Dad interested in setting you up with Be?”


    James raised his brow in ridicule. “At this rate, your future wife will be your sister-inw.”


    Chappiest


    “I’m not a whore to bend over backward for Be like Christopher.”


    Charles found the behavior beneath him.


    “If you hang around her, you can be a billionaire’s son-inw. Why can’t you do it to increase your


    tone.


    Taken aback, Charles pursed his lips.


    “If you don’t work hard at it, all our efforts will be for nothing, Charles.”


    James leaned toward Charles and said grimacingly in his ear, “If


    Christopher does marry Be, Chairman Thompson’s favorite


    daughter, he will turn the tables on us and be our biggest rival.


    Christopher has always been a threat to you. It must kill you to see


    him make it big.”


    Charles stared at James as menace flickered in his eyes.


    Be led Christopher and Sophie to her family.


    “Oh, Mrs. Iverson. You’re back from Sentania. Long time, no s


    M and Sasha stood up to wee Sophie, extending the


    etiquette as Wyatt’s wives.


    “Who are they?” Sophie stared nkly at her son.


    “Mom, they are M and Sasha, Chairman Wyatt’s wives. These fe people here are Be’s siblings.


    This is Mr. Ryan Hoffman, and the lovelydy next to him is Ms. Carrie Salvador.” Christopher patiently


    introduced the group to his mother.


    Ryan did not see eye to eye with Christopher, but his kind words for


    Carrie eased the tension between his brows.


    Nothing ever pleased him before, but now Ryan was content with the


    little things.

    With Asher taking the lead, the group rose to their feet in al


    demonstration of their manners.


    Even though the Thompson brothers had a problem with Christopher,


    they would not convey their animosity in a public setting.


    Only Justin sat there with a long face, his eyes darting a chilling re


    at Christopher. His body was tense with rage.


    Christopher left him out of the introductions.


    It was an act of aggression to dismiss him.


    “Wow. There are so many of you.”


    Sophie looked worriedly at Christopher. “I can’t remember so many


    names. What should I do?”


    “It’s okay, Mrs. Iverson. We are all friends and family here. D


    nervous. Just sit.”


    Be invited them to sit, only to realize there was an issue.


    There was only one seat left at the table.


    “You can sit here with Be, Mom. I’ll sit elsewhere.” Not wanting t


    put Be on the spot, Christopher proposed thoughtfully.


    “N-No!”
