James finally realized that Christopher intended to settle old scores today. Everyone's astonished gazes turned to his stiff face, including Lance's.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Christopher?" James was accustomed to dealing with deceitful people, and he was not about to be intimidated by Christopher's insinuations. He gritted his teeth and sneered. "Your mother was promiscuous and unfaithful. What does that have to do with me?"

"I'll ask you one more time. Do you dare to swear that my mother's situation had nothing to do with you?"

It was everything he had meticulously schemed for. His willingness to stake it showed just how prepared he was for this confrontation.

This was a desperate gamble!

If Mrs. Iverson had not been framed and had been allowed to stay and raise her son, perhaps Christopher would not have become the terrifying person he is today. But time could not be reversed. The atmosphere in the room was tense and silent, with everyone holding their breath as they watched the confrontation. Trembling in her son's arms, Mrs. Iverson was unaware of
