Chapter 420 Asserting Dominance

Regardless of Christopher’s willingness, they had to escort him onto the plane, possibly even under duress. They just needed to hint at Jonathan’s stance and mention that Florence would continue to have him watched, likely scaring Christopher into hurrying back to Riverdon overnight.

Christopher, oblivious to the bodyguard’s thoughts and hearing the formal response, held back his frustration and asked through gritted teeth, “How much longer until we arrive?”
