The word "we" marked an unbridgeable gap between Christopher and the couple. It was a barrier that he could never ovee.


    Even so, Christopher''s gaze on Be still held deep affection.


    His obsessive love had turned him into a shameless lunatic.


    "Be, you''ve misunderstood me. But since you suspect me, I''m willing to cooperate with you fully."


    As Christopher spoke, he leaned down to hold his mother''s hand, gently caressing it. "Mom, I''m sorry... I''m afraid I can''t apany you on the trip."


    "It''s alright. I''m fine..."


    Mrs. Iverson''s worried gaze turned to Be, her eyes brimming with tears as she spoke, "Be, don''t be mad at Chris! If he has upset you, I... I apologize on his behalf!"


    Be''s heart clenched, "Mrs. Iverson, please don''t say that..."


    Although Christopher was incorrigible and cunning, Mrs. Iverson was a pitiful woman, suffering from a serious illness. Be did not want to engage in a fierce conflict with Christopher in front of her.


    After all, this woman, abandoned and exiled by her husband for fifteen years, had only Christopher as her hope.


    Be did not want to extinguish the flicker of hope that kept her going.


    After witnessing the touching scene between the mother and son, Justin''s eyes dimmed, and his heart ached. Yes, he bitterly envied them.


    Justin could notprehend why Christopher, despite having precious loved ones by his side, especially his mother, who cared for him so deeply, would ultimately choose such a dark path. Why was Christopher so shady?


    What Christopher recklessly squandered was something Justin could only dream of. The more Justin thought about it, the more unforgivable Christopher''s act seemed.


    "Be, please... No matter what, please don''t be mad at Chris. Don''t ignore him, okay?" Mrs. Iverson''s words became increasingly unclear as her sickness rpsed. Upon seeing his mother''s condition, Christopher felt deeply concerned and immediately ordered his secretary, "Taylor, go get the medicine."


    "Yes, Mr. Iverson!"


    "Be, no matter how much you doubt me or use any harsh words on me, I won''t hold it against you. Because you, like my mother, are the people I care about the most."


    Christopher pleaded, looking at her


    with a pained expression. "But if things don''t turn out as you wish, and if you wrongly use me of something, how would you make it up to me, Be?"


    Be furrowed her brows tightly, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness. ''Why is he so calm? Is it because he''s internally strong and fearless, or... Does he have another trick up his sleeves?!''


    Suddenly, urgent calls from Asher and Ralph echoed, "Be!" Immediately after, Ryan''s voice followed suit. "Justin!"


    The young couple turned to respond in unison. "Asher! Ralph!"


    At that exact moment, Christopher''s lips curled into a subtle smirk.


    Asher''s gaze turned sharp, concealing anger as he fixed his eyes on this deceitful man.


    Ralph''s demeanor grew somber as he lowered his voice, "Just now, a helicopter took off from the Mount Jaglee National Forest Park in Savrow."Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
