Feeling chills down his spine, Taylor said nothing.
"I told you to keep tabs on Owen because I believed he must be in touch with someone." Christopher smiled brutally. "Ha. What did I say again? We can only trust dead men.” "You're awful, Mr. Iverson." Taylor looked surprised and impressed. "But what made you suspect Owen?" "He checked the drug development without of the blue. I thought it was weird. He would never ask questions before." Christopher turned around and strolled to the desk before pulling out a photo from the pile, his icy gaze falling on the photo.

Though he isn't in a high position in Savrow, he has the power to disrupt the police's investigation and take care of your problems.

We have dirt on his little killing spree, and the life of his wife is in our hands. I bet he won't do anything hasty." "I don't need him anymore." Christopher's voice was flat.
"W-What did you say?" "I got a call from the Boss last night." Christopher curled his pale lips, his eyes sparkling with joy. "He toldthat we made good progress with the drug experiment in Meridan. We can stop the experiment in Savrow. Since the experiment is suspended, I don't need Owen to clean up behind me. I have not intended to keep him around right from the start.' Taylor's breath hitched as terror struck him.
"He knows too many of our secrets. His past contributions and loyalty don't change the fact that I can't let him live." Christopher paused and gave Taylor a strangely friendly look. "But you're an exception, Taylor. You're my subordinate and my family. I couldn't have gotten where lamet today if it wasn't for the Boss and you. Once things calm down 'll have a seat for you on the board of directors and shareholders of the Iverson Group.

Still, the public believed there was a conspiracy to cover the truth. Larson Group lost $2 billion in shares overnight, and the shares plummeted for five whole days.
