Bella lowered her eyelashes, her fingertips brushing over her phone screen as she swiftly scanned through the comments. This was
Christopher—ruthless and unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Even his own mother was not spared. He knew this would severely
impact her mental state, yet he still exploited her.
“You're spouting nonsense! Christopher must have coached you!” James panted heavily and glared with bloodshot eyes like an
enraged bull. He shakily pulled out his phone. “How dare you slanderpublicly? I'll call the police and have you jailed for life!”
“Go ahead. Call them! I've had enough of these inhuman days anyway!” Tormented physically and mentally for years, Colin broke
down emotionally and vented his fury without restraint. “The two thugs who took your bribe back then, are they still alive? With Mr.
Christopher's capabilities, it'll be a matter of tbefore he finds them, and they'll testify that you framed Mrs. Iverson!”
The crowd's eyes were filled with suspicion and disbelief as they looked at James.
“James is Lance’s eldest son and enjoys all the privileges. Why would he need to target a weak woman?” Ryan poked the
handsand stern Justin beside her, puzzled. “Justin, | don’t understand. Isn't this overkill? Why create trouble for himself?”
“Besides James himself, who do you think is the most capable among the Iverson siblings? Who has the most potential?” Justin
responded with a question.
Ryan rubbed her chin thoughtfully. “That would still be Christopher. The other two are practically brain-dead. They pose no
competition.”
“If you can see that, do you think James can’t?” Justin cast a sidelong glance at him.
“Suppressing Mrs. Iverson meant suppressing Christopher. Although risky, this move had a high chance of success. If successful,
Lance would utterly despise Mrs. Iverson, and her son would beca thorn in his side and never be favored again. Thus, James
could secure his position in the Iverson family without worry.”
Ryan realized the reasoning and then raised an eyebrow. “Ouch... Justin, did you just insult me?”
Justin's lip was pressed into a cold line as he sent a message to lan, ignoring Ryan's teasing.
At this moment, Christopher pulled a clean handkerchief from his suit pocket, gently wiping his mother’s tears as he spoke softly,
“Actually, there's no need for such trouble. | have another witness right here.”
Taylor stepped forward, sneering, and played a recording on her phone.

“Back then... James was the person who set up Sophie!”
It was Astrid’s voice, and Sophie was Mrs. Iverson.
Lance's eyes widened, with red veins spreading across his eyes. His gaze was full of complex emotions fixated on James’ pale, rigid
face.
Astrid’s confession continued, clearly talking to Christopher.
“The three of us hated you and your mother. We believed your existence would divide our father’s affection. Your mother would
divide the family wealth and business. That's why we despised you and your mother. That's why we bullied and suppressed you at
every turn. But Charles and | were too young to do more than give you trouble. Unlike James... He was bold, insidious, and ruthless
enough to harm your mother.”
The atmosphere was electric with tension. The truth exposed the deep-seated hatred and schemes that ran within the Iverson
family.
