NovelEnglishChapter 980: Kristopher's expression tightened. He had always looked down on Daxton, seeing his business methods as ruthless and unprincipled. Yet today, he couldn't argue—every word struck uncomfortably close to the truth. When had he becthis person? Somewhere deep inside, Kristopher knew the answer. To admit it, though, would be to acknowledge a truth he wasn't ready to face: that his anger, his jealousy, his need to control Carrie had all been twisted echoes of something he didn't fully understand.
Could he really still care for a woman he had once accused of only loving him for money? No. That couldn't be it.

After a long, tense silence, he finally muttered, "I'll stay away from her. Once Aliza and I get married, we'll leave Isonridge." Daxton's gaze remained steady. "You'd better keep your word." With that, he turned and left, leaving Kristopher alone in the quiet room.
Kristopher's eyes drifted to the surveillance footage Daxton had left behind. The silent recording replayed on the screen-Aliza searching for someone, her expression anxious. The realization settled heavily in his chest. After a long moment, he switched off the footage, gathered his things, and left. He drove toward the Herrera family's villa.
At the Herrera family's villa, Aliza had just returned from the hospital. Days of health-recovery meals had worn down her appetite, so today, finally back home, she had eagerly ordered takeout-rich, flavorful, and far from the bland meals she'd endured.
She was halfway through a juicy steak when the housekeeper hurried in, slightly out of breath.
Aliza frowned, annoyance flashing across her face. "Didn't I tell you to getmilk tea? Why are you back already?

"I'm going to my room. If Kristopher asks, tell him I'm resting. Say I'm not feeling well." Without waiting for a response, she hurried upstairs, her heart racing.
As the housekeeper finished cleaning the table, she took the leftovers to the kitchen. Suddenly, the doorbell rang through the house.

Upon opening the door, she was met with Kristopher's slight frown. Hen spoke coldly, "Were you at the gate earlier? Why did you rush back when you saw me?"
