Chapter 737
“Christopher! Seriously, now is not the time for jokes!” Bella
exclaimed anxiously. Her voice was several octaves higher than
normal.
Christopher dared not tease her further. Enduring the intense pain, he softly said, “My arm and my back
are both hurting a bit.”
Before he could finish speaking, Bella’s movements froze as she palpated his broken arm. The feeling
of the protruding bone sent a
shiver through her..
“Bella, it’s okay…” Christopher gently said as he gazed deeply at her.
“Okay? Dude, your arm is broken!” Bella yelled at him, her eyes reddening. Despite being the one
injured, Christopher was comforting
her instead. It made her feel even more guilty.
“Don’t worry. I’ll mend any bone you break. Even if you shattered every bone in your body, I’d piece
them back together. I’ll take full responsibility for you!” Bella vowed.

Christopher felt a warmth spreading in his heart. No woman had ever boldly offered to take
responsibility for him in all his life.
Bella dared to do what others wouldn’t, and that was one of the reasons he was deeply infatuated with
her.
“This is really strange!” One of the horse trainers scratched his head
thes
in confusion. “This black horse is usually the gentlest, most obedient
one in our stable. It’s usually extremely timid. Why did it suddenly lose control today?”
The secretary glared at him irritably. “Who the hell are you asking?!
Don’t you have any idea what’s going on? Useless!”
“Usually, horses exhibit such abnormal behavior when they are severely frightened.” Bella pondered
seriously.
“How is that possible?” Another horse trainer added, “This little black one has been staying in the
stable all along. No one touched it or let it out. How could it suddenly become frightened and lose
control?”
Upon hearing this, both Bella and Christopher’s faces darkened.
The Savrow International Convention Center was hosting a high-
profile gathering of business tycoons.
Gregory was engaged in lively conversations and toasts with familiar
business tycoons.
“Chairman Salvador! Long time no see!” Gregory turned in surprise as Cameron approached with a
champagne glass in hand and a sly
smile on his face.
“Oh, Vice Chairman Thompson, what a pleasant surprise.” Gregory
nodded lightly.
Compared to Cameron’s warmth, Gregory’s attitude was notably distant. Despite Cameron being Wyatt
Thompson’s only brother and holding the title of vice chairman at the KS Group, it was a well-kept
secret that the majority of KS Group shares and industries were still controlled by Wyatt Thompson and
his children. Even within the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcompany hierarchy, Cameron lacked authority compared to his nephew, Asher, who was the CEO of
the KS Group.
Asher, being the legitimate son and eldest of Wyatt’s children, was destined to inherit the company. In a
few years, Cameron’s role as second-in-command would diminish and be rendered completely
powerless. He would soon be overshadowed by his own nephew.
The business world has always been this ruthless. Although Gregory disliked Wyatt, at least Wyatt’s
status warranted a conversation with
. him. Cameron, on the other hand, was a different story.
“Vice Chairman Thompson, isn’t Chairman Thompson joining us today? Are you here alone?” Another
mogul inquired curiously.
“My elder brother has been busy dealing with family matters lately, so
he couldn’t make it,” Cameron replied, feigning concern with a sigh. My brother’s third wife had some
trouble recently. You must have heard about it, right? They say she’s been bedridden these days,
barely clinging to life. My brother is worried and has been by her side day and night. How could he
have the heart to attend any events?”
