The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2027

For a man like Lance, who was once a titan of industry who stood shoulder to shoulder with Wyatt, news of his death should have been immediately suppressed by the Iverson Group. The company usually waited until the situation stabilized before making any formal announcement.

However, against all expectations, the news spread like wildfire overnight, with countless media outlets rushing to report it. It turned the entire city into a storm of speculation.

The source of the leak? Christopher.

Now, with the entire Iverson family reduced to just one man, Christopher, it was only natural that he would inherit the Iverson Group.

After years of plotting, he finally achieved his long-held ambition.

He ascended to the pinnacle of Iverson Group’s power, leaving countless casualties in his wake.

The hospital’s morgue temporarily housed Lance's body. As the sole family member, Christopher refused an autopsy. With no signs of foul play found at the scene, the police concluded the case as a sudden death due to natural causes.

In the hospital's lounge, Christopher sat upright on a square black leather sofa. His arms rested naturally yet regally on the armrests, eyes closed as he imagined himself seated on a throne.

“Dad, in all my nearly thirty years of life, this is the best gift you’ve ever given me. Thank you for making it all possible. Rest in peace.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After Christopher responded, Taylor entered. He led in a man dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase.

Taylor then locked the door behind him.

“Mr. Lyles, please have a seat,” Christopher said, a smile playing on his lips.

Mr. Lyles was one of Lance’s most trusted confidants. Not only was he the legal advisor for the Iverson Group, but he was also the private attorney for the entire Iverson family. He had served Lance for over thirty years.

“Mr. Christopher,” Attorney Lyles greeted him with a respectful bow.

Though Christopher’s expression remained composed, it was clear that he was not entirely satisfied with this form of address.

However, with the major power shift now inevitable and only awaiting the formal announcement at the upcoming board meeting, there was no need to press the matter at this moment.
