Christopher''s expression resembled that of a ruthless predator, who no longer bothered to hide his true nature in front of James.


    "So... You''ve suddenlye back just to take revenge against the Iverson family?! You''re responsible for what happened to both Charles and Astrid, aren''t you? Now you''reing after me too?! You shameless and despicable jerk!"


    James was livid, his anger shaking him to his core as his emotions neared a breaking point. "I''m going to tell Dad! I''ll tell him everything you''ve done! I''ll make him see through your sinister intentions, your ugly face!"


    "What does Astrid''s imprisonment have to do with me? That was the work of Justin and Be. As for Charles, they were the ones who exposed him, so what does that have to do with me?"N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Christopher was amused by James'' panicked appearance. "Besides, do you think you still have any credibility in front of Dad now? Dad feels disgusted just looking at you. How could he possibly believe your nonsense?"


    Hisughter sent shivers down James'' spine. James had underestimated Christopher, believing that a son who was neglected by his father and left out of thepany would find it difficult to establish himself even if he returned to Savrow and tried to make it on his own.


    Unexpectedly, Christopher had been plotting in secret for 15 years, and when he came back, he set up a trap that left them helpless. How did this once easily manipted pretty boy turn into a ruthless shark that left them with no chance to fight back? Whose support had Christopher been relying on all along?


    "You son of a bitch! I''ll kill you!"


    James seethed with rage. His eyes were bloodshot as he raised his fist to punch Christopher''s face. But at that moment, the door to the conference room opened.


    "Mr. Christopher, the chairman has been waiting for you inside." Lance''s secretary gestured politely.


    Christopher forcefully shoved James, making thetter stumble. He raised his chin slightly and walked inside arrogantly.


    As the door closed, James realized his injuries had not been tended to yet. The pain made him copse, and he held his head in agony.


    When Christopher entered the room, Lance was taking his heart medication. Seeing someonee in, he quickly pocketed the bottle.


    "Dad, James had acted rashly


    regarding this matter. Besides, those


    injured were already out of


    life-threatening danger. Who could


    have predicted they wouldn''t make it?" Christopher walked behind Lance and patted his back to reassure him.


    "Everything in this world is unpredictable so don''t be too upset. I''ve already sent someone with money to the hospital in Terranova, where the injured are being treated. Right now, we can only try to fulfill the demands of the deceased''s families as much as possible, so that the negative impact of this incident doesn''t continue to escte."


    "Christopher!"


    Lance grabbed his arm as if it were a lifeline. "You are more capable than your siblings. You are the most capable and promising son! What should we do about this incident? Last time, it was thanks to you that Iverson Group''s major project in Sentania resumed smoothly. You are so capable... There must be a solution, right?!"


    Christopher curled his lips and spoke gently, "Dad, you guessed right. I''ve already thought of a solution."


    "Really?! What do you n to do?!"


    "If you want me to save Iverson Group from this crisis, you just need to fulfill one of my requests. Let me be the CEO of Iverson Group."


    Lance was shocked. Despite having just taken the heart medication, his heart began to convulse again.


    With James out of the picture, there was no one Lance could turn to besides Christopher, who had an exceptional ability to follow in his footsteps and rival Asher and Justin. But this was not his preferred choice.


    However, as the circumstances gradually backed him into a corner, Lance had no choice but to choose Christopher.


    "Alright, I agree!"


    Lance clenched his fists and said, "As long as you resolve this matter, I''ll immediately call a meeting with the board of directors and elect you as the new CEO of Iverson Group!"
