“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 Be about the truth behind the racecourse ident.


    “If anyone had malicious intentions, it’d be Charles!”


    Be stared at him without a word.


    “Be, 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 eysh.


    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 Be were out of good intentions


    and were also a manifestation of his love.


    Be 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. ‘Be, 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, Be felt a mix of emotions.


    At this moment, Asher called her. She absentmindedly picked up the


    call.


    “Asher.”


    “Be, Drew got what you wanted.” Asher smiled faintly.


    “What I wanted? What is it?” Be was confused.


    “Arnold Larson.”


    Be 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!” Be


    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.


    “Be, 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 toe 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.”


    Be 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.
