Christopher scoffed, “Partnership? There are lots of people who want to partner with me. Mr. Goldstein asked me about it as well a few days ago. I didn’t expect that to be your aim as well.”
“I’m sure that his partnership meant nothing good. After all, I know him very well. Did he also threaten you with Yvonne?” Lucas said firmly.
Christopher didn’t answer him. Instead, he threw the medical record on the table. “How can I be sure that you’re telling the truth?”
Lucas replied calmly, “You can ask that doctor. His contact number is there on the medical record. I know about what happened to you at the border. With your identity, you will certainly not let go of any bad guy, especially when they attempt to end your comrades’ lives. As long as he’s still actively running his business there, your comrades will eventually lose their lives because of him.”
Christopher narrowed his eyes. “So, you want to cooperate with me to take down Mark Goldstein? Are you sure? He’s my father-in-law, so don’t you think you’ve gotten the wrong person?”
“I’m sure. If you aren’t related to Yvonne, I might need to reconsider. I don’t want to take the risk. After all, Uncle Mark is a cruel person who dared to harm me when I was young. If my father didn’t pretend to be useless and ignorant all these years, I would have died long ago.”
Lucas looked calm as if he was talking about the others and not himself.
“But he’s Eve’s father. If something happens to him, she will be sad. You should know that I won’t do anything that will upset her.” Christopher remained unfazed.
Truth be told, he had lost his composure deep down in his heart. If Yvonne knows about how Isabelle has been living, she will be devastated. However, it’s all the more reason for me to stay calm at this moment.
