“Lance’s sudden hospitalization might not be a result of an actual illness but rather a way to stay out of the public eye.
Justin nodded in agreement. “Once the prosecution starts investigating and calls Lance in for questioning, he could feign illness to avoid it.”
Ryan cursed angrily through clenched teeth. “Darn it. He's really a cunning old fox!”
“Ryan, what does ‘orgy’ mean?” Carrie blinked her big, naive eyes innocently.
Ryan thought, ‘Carrie sure knows how to cut to the chase.”
All three were momentarily silenced by her question.
Ryan coughed nervously and playfully pinched Carrie’s cheek. “Uh... When we get back to the room, I'll slowly explain it to you.”
The news broadcast finally ended. The affairs of the Iverson family have taken up quite a bit of time, living up to their flamboyant and ostentatious

“It's truly despicable to force girls to do such things!” Carrie's eyes turned red with anger after watching. “The police officer must catch them all. They
need to get justice for the victims!”
“They've already been caught, darling, so rest assured.” Ryan sighed, pulling her petite waist closer.
There was a sudden silence in the living room.
Although Astrid had been arrested, Charles, who had sexually assaulted Amelia, remained at large. As for Christopher, he remained a constant worry,
like a thorn lodged in their hearts.
So their plan for overthrowing the Iverson family was only one-third complete.
Justin noticed Bella's solemn expression and pulled her close. His hand rested on her tense shoulder, offering reassurance. “Bella, you've done
exceptionally well. Taking down the Iverson family isn't a simple feat. They're one of the top four families with deep histories.”
“You don’t need to worry about Charles. I'll take care of him.”
“No, none of us needs to get our hands dirty.” Bella's beautiful eyes shimmered with a cold glint, and her crimson lips curled mischievously. “There
are people who will clean up the mess for us.”
Ryan looked puzzled. “Who?”
It was as if Justin had a telepathic connection with Bella. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you talking about Christopher?”
“That's my clever man.” Bella replied, narrowing her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ryan was still trying to make sense of it all. “Huh? But Christopher is from the Iverson family. And with their current chaos, why would he want to add
more?”
No wonder they said people in love were fools.

“Christopher and his mom have been exiled by the Iverson family in Sentania for fifteen years. During this time, Lance has completely ignored them,
as if they don't even exist in the family.”
Justin went on, with a resigned tone in his deep voice, “Christopher is driven and bitter. His mother has advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Can you
imagine how much shand bitterness he must have built up over the years? If it were you, would you still support the Iverson family? You'd surely
fantasize about crushing the Iverson family beneath your feet and taking over their empire.”
Ryan snorted. “Take over the Iverson family?! Isn't that four-eyed bastard biting off more than he can chew?”
“If the members of the Iverson family unite and work together, Christopher will have no chance.” Bella's gaze darkened. “But if the Iverson family falls
into chaos, he can take advantage of the situation to eliminate his enemies and engage in internal strife. Astrid is done for. He'll go after Charles and
James next. By then, Lance will have no one left to back him up, so the Iverson family will inevitably fall into Christopher's control.”
Justin sneered. “Bella's analysis is spot on. It's very much in line with Christopher's cunning tactics.”
“So, what we need to do now is to wait and adapt to the ever-changing situation.”
