Chapter 380
Christopher knew that Mitchell would mention this matter. Indeed, the Lane family faltered because of this incident back then. After years of being under the tyranny of the Martin family, Christopher kept his composure and didn’t panic when Mitchel brought the matter up.
He calmly took out a file from his bag and presented it to Mitchell. “Mitchell, what do you think of this document? We’ll talk about the repayment once you’re done reading.”
“Christopher, I have watched you grow up. My decision will not change even after reading it. Honestly, you have disappointed me. Unless you don’t get married in this life; otherwise, your wife can only be my daughter, Monica.”
Mitchell took the file and glanced at it a few times. Then, his pupils widened. He became shocked as he read further, and his hands started to tremble. Christopher lit a cigarette, inhaled, and puffed a cloud of smoke. “Over the years, the Martin family did a lot of unethical deeds to develop so rapidly, and Darius worked hard to cover up for you. However, you secretly received money from the Walker family and wanted to replace him during this year’s election. It seems the Walker family has given you quite the benefits.”
“By the way, when I was in the army last year, I was supposed to be promoted. I even prepared the script for my speech. Suddenly, I received a notice that my promotion was nothing but misinformation. I thought about it for a long time, but I just couldn’t figure out the problem. Later, I accidentally saw the letter you wrote to my superior. Mitchell, I understand the feeling of you wanting to help the Walker
family since you are the illegitimate child but hasn’t the Lane family done a lot for you over the years? You seem pretty comfortable with getting rid of the Lane family.”
Mitchell’s expression changed drastically. He trembled incredibly with the papers in his hand, and he was gasping for air. After a moment, he asked, “How did you find out?”
“Walls have ears, and doors have eyes. No matter how great the debt, all the benefits you gained from the Lane family over the years should be enough to repay the Martin family. Darius has been collecting information between you and the Walker family since two years ago, but for the sake of Alyssa, I chose not to expose you.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
My eyes were brimming with admiration when I looked at the confident Christopher. He was well prepared and took advantage of Mitchell’s shortcomings. Did he know what the Martin family has done since the beginning? Is there anything in this world that my man cannot do?
“Regarding the Tanner family, I advise you to stop your actions. If you insist on pressing on the matter, it will only hurt Monica. I’m sure you wouldn’t want your daughter, young and unmarried, to have a father who is put behind bars, right?”
‘Are you threatening me?” Mitchell forced the words out of his tightly clenched teeth.
“No, I’m just giving you a piece of friendly advice. We are fully aware of the intentions of the Walker family. My father may have retired, but he isn’t ignorant. Although we did everything in our family for my mother, we will never be a fool and let you have your way with everything.” Christopher raised his hand and looked at his watch. “Mitchell, it’s time for me to go back for dinner. It’s late already, and my wife will not be happy. Let’s call it a day.”
Mitchell kicked the car door open and walked off angrily, but Christopher stopped him. He put the file in Mitchell’s hand and said casually, “Keep this as a souvenir and take your time to consider my advice.”
“Well played, hmph!” Then, Mitchell stomped into the mansion. He must be extremely agitated by Christopher. Could my man be any cooler?
“Why are you still standing there? I’m starving!” Suddenly, Christopher shouted in my direction. I was stunned for a while before realizing that he was yelling at me. I ran over quickly and sat in the passenger seat coquettishly.
Say, will I ever not get caught for eavesdropping? People tend to spot me every time.
