Otherwise, Christopher might just lose control of himself and fire
away at Justin in front of Bella.
“M-Mr. Iverson, if I may.”
Taylor put away the injection and wiped his sweat. “You should stay
away from this stuff. It can give you a momentary kick and take the
pain away, but it’s a prohibited substance. The drug hasn’t been
through clinical trials in Meridan, so the side effects are still
unknown.”
“I know. This is the last time.
Christopher closed his eyes and breathed out. “The drug dealer
shouldn’t be controlled by drugs.”
His obsession was not the drugs, but Bella. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Send these photos to Wyatt anonymously.”
Christopher let out a smile, wicked and unhinged. “Wyatt loves
daughter too much to let history repeat itself.”
“Of course, Mr. Iverson.”
As Taylor excused himself, Christopher said, “What’s the date today?
“March 6, sir.”
Christopher narrowed his eyes, a glint flickering in the dark.
“March 6, Grant…”
The phone in his pocket rang.
That night, Bella was so understanding as not to bother Justin after
dinner together. She retreated to her room for a rest.
Justin stared at the black suit on the sofa that lan had delivered for
tomorrow’s funeral while making calls to Ryan and his men about the
trip to Terranova.
“Did Asher send anybody?”
“No update as of yet, but Asher would’ve known what I knew. He

“Sigh. Fine. Don’t worry, Justin. Once you arrive at Terranova, my people will ensure your safety,” Ryan promised.
“Don’t worry about me. I was in the army. Just protect yourself.”
Justin paused and murmured, “Carrie will be sad if anything happens

“You should know how much you mean to her.”
Ryan gasped before exclaiming with thrill, “Justin! Are you
acknowledging me as your brother-in-law?”
Justin pulled the phone away from his ear and frowned. “Can you pipe down?”
“We’re a family, my dear brother-in-law,” Ryan shouted excitedly.
Justin had goosebumps. “Drop that mushiness.”
“I’m going to ask your father for her hand-in-marriage when I get back

emotion.
“You’re the heir of the Hoffman family. Gregory has no reason to

Justin sneered, “It doesn’t matter what she thinks. She only cares

“Hmph! You have a point.”
“That reminds me. Get me a gun.”
