A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 100:

Belinda never expected that the slightest hesitation on her part would provoke Fred into challenging Kristopher.

Those two simple words from Kristopher were enough to make her temples throb.

As things stood, she knew she needed to act. Without another thought, she stepped forward and positioned herself in front of Fred.

“Stop it, Kristopher! Whatever is between us has nothing to do with Fred!”

Fred was far too young to have his life squandered like this. Sure, Kristopher would definitely get angry at Fred, but he would also target Belinda.

Unfortunately, words had already been spoken, and Fred’s remark was as good as a challenge directed at Kristopher.

And Belinda knew all too well the consequences of going against Kristopher.

She had seen it happen before, witnessing the fate of those who foolishly stood up to him. They were all prominent figures in Nawrin, too, yet their social standing did nothing to protect them from Kristopher’s wrath.
