Christopher had tears in his eyes. His lips were pale as he bit them.
He perfectly portrayed himself as a pitiful man who was misunderstood by the woman he loved. He waspletely immersed in it, forgetting that the person who caused those deadly troubles for Be was himself.
Be stared at him, her calm eyes surging withplicated emotions underneath.
“What happened? Be, can you tell me? What did I do to make you misunderstand me? You have to let me know!” Christopher kept asking, sweating all over.
The man, who was usually calm and restrained, seldom appeared so distressed.
Be knew she would not get anything now. She only said these to warn Christopher and pressure him, seeing if he would expose himself after getting flustered . It was also a cruel way to tell him to give up on her.
It was impossible between them.
Even their friendship could not continue to exist.
“It’s fine if you don’t admit knowing Maxwell. What about Edward and Cami?"
The burning anger made Be’s shoulders shake uncontrobly. “How did you plot against them for your benefit in Sentania? Are you going to deny that too?"
“Be, the people in mypany did nder your brother-inw, but when I realized he was your brother-inw, I immediately ordered them to stop. But you know that I don’t own thepany alone. Many of the shareholders had a lot to say. They were against it when I asked them to stop the n. I’ve tried my best to suppress them, but I couldn’t stop all their little tricks!"
Christopher continuously exined in a hoarse voice, “Be, please believe me! I love you so much... For fifteen years! How could I bear to hurt your family and make you sad?"
Be merely looked at him. A suffocating silence spread between them.
After a while, she parted her lips. "Go back. If you won''t, I will."
When she tured around, Christopher suddenly hugged her from behind. He pleaded, "Be, don''t leave me." "Let go of me! Don''t touch me!"
Be felt disgusted. She struggled to break free, and she felt her hair stand on end.
Christopher staggered back. His handsome face was stiff, and his gaze looked dismal.
"Christopher, I have a boyfriend now. Even if I don''t have one, you shouldn''t disrespect me like that!" Be''s repulsion and dislike for him were cruel and apparent.
"Ts it... Justin?"
Christopher''s mind went nk, and his soul shattered. "You got back together with him?"? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Why can''t I? To avenge me, he risked his life to arrest the criminals. To save me and my brother, he almost didn''t make it back alive from Terranova. We were almost separated forever because of Maxwell."
Be recalled how Justin fought a bloody battle for her, sustaining injuries all over his body. She choked up and said, "Why would I not want aman who sacrificed his life for me? Why wouldn''t I love him?!
You should leave. I''ll continue investigating Maxwell. Hopefully, it is as you said. But if you are the mastermind, Christopher, you know what I''m capable of. I will never show mercy to an unjust person, no matter who they are."
Seeing that she was about to disappear from his sight, Christopher sucked in a breath, his tears welling up in his eyes.
"Be, my mother is severely sick."
Be''s footsteps halted, but she did not turn around.
"Her Alzheimer''s has reached thete stage. She''s rarely lucid now.
Eating has be difficult, and her limbs showed signs of paralysis.
During this period, I''ve rescheduled all my work to apany her to the hospital. I''ve only made time to attend a few important events today." Christopher''s eyes shone with tears, and he sounded guilty. "Be, I neglected you to care for my mother these days. I couldn''t help you with so many things that happened around you. I''m really sorry. If you''re suspicious of me because of this, I''m sorry for disturbing you.
My mother can''t even recognize me most of the time, but she keeps asking when she can see you. Although I know this is shameless, she can''t hold on much longer. Can you please meet her once? Perhaps talking to you will be beneficial for her illness."
