?Chapter 2118
Ralph gritted his teeth, feeling peevish about the whole situation. "He ys dumb throughout the interrogation. Later, his attorney told me that he would only talk once he sees you."
"Don''t go, Be." As his eyes turned red, Justin shook his head. "It might be part of Christopher''s n. I can''t let you meet with him."
"Oh, my. Are you jealous?" With a smile, Be drew circles on his chest.
"Don''t go, Be. I''m serious." Justin''s voice was raspy.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
"I''m going. I''m serious." Be looked at him with sparkling eyes. "My family has a history of taking risks. I can''t be the one to break the family tradition."
Ralph met Be in the lobby of the police station. Knowing that it was his stop, Justin halted his heavy footsteps.
Christopher upied a single room in the detention center, which held only a stiff bed.
Even in the harsh conditions of his imprisonment, Christopher sat up straight in his well-tailored suit, his hair perfectly in ce.
His pale face was marred by the shadow of a beard, adding a hint of destion to his usual sophistication. Christopher opened his eyes at the familiar clicking of heels.
His gaze prated the iron bars, locking onto Be, who stood perpetually on the other side.
She had always been the woman he loved and waited for.
"You''re here, Be." Christopher''s eyes spoke of tenderness, and his voice was husky. "You''re quick."
With a straight face, Be nced at the security camera in the upper-left corner. Knowing that Ralph and Justin were watching over her, she felt safe.
Be said, "Didn''t you say that you''d start talking once I got here? Well, here I am. Now, talk. Don''t waste our time."
Christopher looked deep into her eyes, his sad eyes harboring so much affection. "You''re as cold to me as ever."
"Anyone with a shred of conscience will not put up with your act." Be''s eyes were devoid of emotions. There was a wall between them.
"It''s my birthday today, Be." Christopher stiffly rose to his feet and inched closer to Be yearningly." Can you wish me a happy birthday?"
Be stared at Christopher past the iron bars in silence.
Justin witnessed the whole thing on surveince, clenching his fists until his veins bulged.
"Don''t worry, Justin. The snake is behind bars. He can''t hurt Be." Ralph patted Justin''s wide shoulder." Even if he gets out, I believe he won''t hurt her."
"How can you be so sure, Ralph?" Justin asked in a hoarse voice as the emotions hung heavy in his chest. "They were really close when they were kids." Ralph watched the surveince while dwelling in the past. "Christopher wasn''t seen or heard in his family during his younger days. Every kid of the Iverson has their
birthday parties except him. Chairman Iverson doesn''t even remember his birthday. Christopher woulde to our ce for three years, and Be would make him a birthday cake. She would use her allowance to get him a present. Be was his only friend. It''s a pity that a nice boy has now be an evil killing machine. It''s so infuriating and a shame."
Overwhelmed by a sinking feeling, Justin stared at the surveince with red-rimmed eyes.
