The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2154

Taylor stared at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, his body drenched in cold sweat. “You’ve only been back a few days, and someone’s already tried to take your life. What’s going to happen from here?”

“Don’t worry,” Christopher replied confidently. “Before I die, I’ll drag all these restless, ambitious fools down to hell with me.”

As the words left his lips, it struck him that he had unconsciously assumed that his final resting place would be “hell”. With his hands stained in blood, so full of sin, was he truly destined for hell?

In the silence, Christopher’s phone rang. He turned his back to Taylor and his subordinates, bringing the phone to his ear. “Speak.”

“Mr. Iverson, the situation back home is very unfavorable for you.” An informant spoke in a clipped tone.

“It’s already come to this. How much worse can it get? Just tell me,” Christopher croaked as he coughed into his fist.

“The prosecution has searched the entire Iverson Group. Jeffrey and the head of the finance department have been taken in for questioning. They were never really loyal to you; they were all only driven by self-interest. Now that they see you’re in decline, it won’t be long before they spill everything they know.”

“You said it yourself already. They aren’t loyal, just figureheads. They’ve never had access to the core of Iverson Group, so they won’t be able to reveal anything significant.” Christopher’s coughing grew worse.

Taylor stepped forward and handed him a handkerchief. As Christopher took it, his entire body was wracked with violent tremors. Once the fit subsided, he returned the handkerchief to Taylor.

Taylor’s pupils contracted sharply when he saw a dark red blood stain marring the fabric. His heart pounded wildly. He stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket and forced himself to stay composed.

“There’s one more thing,” the informant continued. “You’re now wanted nationwide by the Savrow police.”

“What did you say?” Christopher could taste iron and bile on his tongue.
