NovelEnglishChapter 624:
Bernie Herrera, the founder of Waterway Technology, stepped forward with an air of enthusiasm, eagerly
extending his hand to Kristopher. “Mr. Norris, | didn’t anticipate the Norris Group to value this project so highly
that you would personally cto sign the contract,” he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine excitement.
Kristopher offered a courteous yet detached smile, raising his hand wrapped in bandages, a stark reminder of his
recent mishap. “I sustained a minor injury, so it’s inconvenient to shake hands,” he replied, his tone calm yet
polite.
“How did you get hurt? Should we summon a doctor for a closer examination?” Kathleen inquired, her brow
furrowing with concern as she stepped closer.
Kristopher lowered his hand and replied indifferently, “It's nothing severe, just a cut from sglass.”
Kathleen didn’t press him further. Instead, she casually reminisced about old times to ease the atmosphere. “I

don’t recall; | moved to Isonridge when you were less than a year old,” she said.
Her voice was tinged with nostalgia as she glanced affectionately at Bernie, their relationship radiating warmth
and love.
“I've heard my mother mention it,” Kristopher replied nonchalantly.
Bernie stepped closer, placing his arm around Kathleen's shoulders in a gesture of affection. “It was my wife's
idea to welcyou today. | didn’t expect her to have such an old acquaintance here; it must be destiny,” he
declared, his eyes sparkling with delight.
“Yes, it's all destiny,” Kathleen affirmed, pulling her daughter Aliza forward with a proud smile. “This is my
daughter. When you were in school, your mother used to jest that our children would be betrothed to one
another.”
“Hello, Mr. Norris, I'm Aliza.” Aliza introduced herself with confidence, her voice clear and bright.
Kathleen chuckled softly and interjected, “Why call him Mr. Norris? You should address him as Kristopher.”
Aliza obediently responded, “Kristopher.”
Her voice was soft, her eyes sparkling with admiration for Kristopher’s striking features, tinged with a hint of shy
girlishness.
The man before her was undeniably handsome, surpassing even the heirs of Isonridge’s noble families. Aliza,
always self-assured and raised in opulence, believed she deserved nothing but the finest. However, those she
found appealing rarely reciprocated her interest.
Bernie was not favored within the Herrera clan and had carved his path through the intetechnology boom
independently, a testament to his resilience. Kathleen's family wielded little influence in Isonridge.
So, Aliza’s family background did not stand out in the affluent circles of Isonridge.
But Kristopher himself was no longer considered a prcatch. Regardless of his capabilities, he hailed from a
modest place like Orkset, and he had been married once.

felt like love at first sight.
Kristopher entered the room with an air of confidence, tall and striking in a dark-tailored suit that clung perfectly
to his athletic frame, reminiscent of a model gliding down a catwalk. His features were sharp and noble,
highlighted by a straight nose that commanded attention.
She could scarcely fathom that a business genius, celebrated by even her grandfather for his remarkable
achievements, could possess a visage more captivating than that of a Hollywood superstar.
