At Yara Park, as Drew stood on his balcony, the harsh winds whipped his coat around his body. Christopher's words in his ears were laced with mockery and amusement.
Drew's throat constricted, making it difficult to breathe. "Christopher, are you itching to die?" "I've heard that countless times over the past fifteen years. It was all just talk-no one could even lift a finger against me.” Christopher chuckled arrogantly. "Drew, will you be the first to challenge the dragon?" "A dragon? Don't makelaugh." Drew scoffed. "You're nothing more than a hyena, scavenging for carrion in the wilderness!" "Next Saturday, Yvonne and my secretary, Taylor, will be having a grand wedding in Sentania. I thought, since she's the woman that you love so deeply, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret if you didn't attend her wedding? Even if it was to another man?" All his instincts flared up, and Drew felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to Christopher.
"Christopher... If you dare lay a finger on Yvonne, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth-even to hell itself. I won't rest until you're dead!" "On their wedding day, I will be presenting the newlyweds a grand gift." Christopher continued. He gave a crazed laugh, sounding manic. "I hope you'll cto Sentania to witness it with me. Otherwise, I guarantee it'll be your greatest regret." "Christopher!" Drew roared, his voice filled with hate.

"Yvonne, wait for me. Even if it costsmy life, I will save you!" Drew drew in a sharp breath.
As he turned to go back inside, he froze in his tracks.
"Dad...?" Even with all his training, Drew had not even noticed when his father had entered because he was so consumed by his confrontation with Christopher.
"Drew, were you just on the phone with that bastard from the Iverson family?" Wyatt looked at his son with deep concern. "Why did he call you? What does he want?" "Nothing. It's nothing," Drew stuttered, his face drained of color.
Over the years of living abroad, Drew had grown accustomed to being alone. His work made it impossible to form close friendships with or confide in anyone. He had always kept his distance from his father, so it was instinctive for him to hide the truth.
Chapter 2159 1 Drew felt a pang in his chest.
Chapter 2159 2 Chapter 2159 3 "Damn it, do you think I'm joking?!" Wyatt smacked Drew's head. "As your father, I'm ordering you not to go!" Drew's heart warmed at his father's antics. This moment of closeness with his father made him regret not embracing this bond sooner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Dad, I have to go," Drew said decidedly. “I have to face Christopher. The woman I love is in danger." "What woman?! What woman could be more important than my son?!" "In your heart, I'm important. In my heart, she's just as important." Drew pleaded. "Dad, I want to marry her. I want to be with her." Wyatt was stunned at his son's stubbornness. The Thompson family was full of hopeless romantics.
"Dad, don't worry. I promise I'll cback in one piece, and I'll bring your future daughter-in-law back withtoo." Drew gave his father a tight hug.
Wyatt's eyes filled with tears. He knew he could not stop Drew, so he repeated his plea. "Just promiseyou'll cback safely. I'll be waiting for you to chfor dinner." Drew grinned. "I will! When I get back, we'll have a big family feast!" Wyatt gave him another hard knock on the head. "A feast?! Cback in one piece, and then we'll talk about feasts!" Drew walked Wyatt back to his room. When he returned, he found Bella, Justin, and Asher in front of him, their stances resolute, like warriors preparing for battle.
"What's this about? Are you gearing up for the final showdown? Have you all been reading too many adventure ?" Drew half- heartedly joked.
"Drew, we know you're going to save Ms. Smith. We're coming with you." Justin gripped Bella's hand tightly, his eyes burning with determination.
