The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2030



"Let's talk."

In the dimly lit hospital stairwell, the motion sensor light had not activated, leaving only the faint green glow of the emergency exit sign.

In the dark space, Bella and Christopher locked eyes. The surrounding air chilled rapidly.

"Bella, it's been a while since we last met at the Hoffman family's funeral. How have you been?" Christopher's gaze was intense as he took a step closer.

Bella took a step back. Her crimson lips curled into a mocking smile. "Christopher, do you really think you're doing everything flawlessly? Do you think you're the smartest person in the world, playing everyone in the palm of your hand? Do you think I don't know about your dealings with the Larson family's eldest son, Aaron, or what you've done to the people of the Southern Star Syndicate?"

She only mentioned Aaron and not Owen Hopkins, because she intended to keep the latter as a trump card. In time, Owen would be an even stronger leverage than Yvonne. Moreover, knowing Christopher's ruthlessness, if Owen were exposed, he might eliminate the threat immediately and destroy crucial evidence in the process.

"Bella, I know you don't like me, but there have been some misunderstandings."

Christopher fixed his gaze on Bella's face. Though he had admired it countless times, it still caused his heart to race. His lips curved gently as he spoke with his usual refined demeanor.

"Even if I have dealings with the Larsons, it's strictly business. Now that I've fully taken over Iverson Corporation, I plan to expand into the medical field, building hospitals and pharmaceutical factories. My interactions with Aaron are purely for business negotiations. As for the Southern Star Syndicate, their organization has been in chaos ever since their boss got arrested. That's all I know."
