Hunter enjoyed the beautiful women and fine liquor, feeling smug and carefree at this moment.

Since James had invited Hunter to the gathering tonight, it meant Hunter had obtained James’ approval and officially established a connection to the Iversons.
Hunter could navigate smoothly between the Salvadors and the Iversons in the future. Did he still need to be wary of the Thompson family? “Mr. Iverson, it's just a small favor to me. You're too polite.” Hunter had a beautiful lady in his arms, appearing puffed up.
“A few glasses of wine is nothing much.” James swayed his wine glass, raising his brows with an ambiguous smile on his lips. “It can’t compare to your guts, Mr. Lovett. To think you'd set up your own brother for intentional harm. One, it gives my brother an outlet to vent his frustrations. After all, someone would need to take the fall for Charles’ sufferings. Secondly, it could hinder the relationship between Steven and Amelia.
Your mother obsesses over her sons. Now, she'd probably rather die than let her son marry the daughter of a Thompson family mistress, right? You really killed two birds with one stone.” Since he could not touch Justin and Bella for now, he would start with the people around them.
Steven wanted the woman Charles could not get? Dream on! “Haha... It’s all thanks to your generosity, Mr. Iverson.” Under the influence of money and alcohol, Hunter shed his civilized facade, his eyes gleaming with greed. “Given that the target is my brother, the price you offered is pretty generous indeed. Of course, | must cooperate with your plan with everything | have.” “Steven is your brother, whom you've grown up with. Aren’t you distressed for him?” James smiled and asked.

This matter has spread in the industry, affecting your reputation. How do | trust your professional ability again?” Hunter's smile stiffened on his face, feeling his cheeks burn in embarrassment while anger rose in his chest.
“Although Mrs. Salvador’s case will be publicly tried, the courtroom is my stage. Even if | can’t get Mrs. Salvador acquitted, | can still minimize her punishment.” Hunter gritted his teeth, downing a glass of wine. “Just wait and see.” “Then I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Lovett.” James glanced at him mockingly. “If you could settle the Salvador family’s problems and prove your worth, we will have countless chances to work together.” Drunk, Hunter stumbled toward the parking lot angrily.
His mood turned from elation at the beginning to feeling like a heavy rock had been placed on his shoulders, almost suffocating him.
At this moment, he finally realized that James had used him. He turned his back and even painted a rosy picture for him. The Iverson family was truly a den of snakes.
