The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1758

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?”

“Pfft, why should I swear to you? Do you think you’re worthy?” James refused to fall into the trap.

Christopher’s pale lips curled slightly, his eyes holding a deadly, black storm. “James, haven’t you always wanted to take back the CEO position from me? Let’s make a bet. If you dare to swear that my mother’s situation had nothing to do with you, I’ll give up the CEO position to you.”

The crowd was shocked. Bella and Justin were equally stunned, watching Christopher with wide eyes. For Christopher, the CEO position of the Iverson Corporation was his most prized possession. It was everything he had meticulously schemed for. His willingness to stake it showed just how prepared he was for this confrontation.

“There’s nothing to give up. That position was mine to begin with!” James was enraged by Christopher’s arrogance, grinding his teeth in hatred. “You took it from me through underhanded means, so don’t act all righteous!”

“Fine, I’ll return it to you. Not only that, I’ll leave Iverson Group and return to Sentania.” Christopher’s eyes gleamed red. “Do you dare to agree?”

This was a desperate gamble!

Bella’s red lips pressed into a thin line, and her gaze on Christopher filled with complex emotions. In this matter concerning his mother, Christopher had shown a final shred of conscience. In order to seek justice for his mother, Christopher was willing to relinquish everything he had painstakingly earned. This proved that the injustices his mother suffered were his deepest wounds.

It was James’s schemes, Lance’s suspicion, and their ruthless abandonment that twisted a once-normal boy into someone dark and ruthless. In a sense, it was James who planted the seeds of disaster.

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 the storm brewing.

James’s teeth ground together audibly, but his mind was racing. This wild card’s bet was truly high, akin to going all-in.

The matter was so old, and the evidence was long lost. He smirked darkly. “Christopher, everyone’s watching. Don’t you dare renege on this.”

“But if my mother’s situation involves you, James, I want you to kneel before her and apologize publicly. You’ll also hold a press conference to expose all the traps and schemes you set against her to restore her reputation.” Christopher’s voice was filled with menace. “Surely, the eldest young master of the Iverson family wouldn’t be so cowardly, right?”
