Chapter 23 

Margaret drew a sharp breath as she was feeling the pain. She was about to get herself up from the ground when a shiny pair of custom leather shoes appeared in front of her. Then, Christopher‘s cold voice came from above. “You have two minutes.” 

She looked up at him and asked carefully, “Can you let them go?” 

She did not notice the hint of disappointment that flashed across his eyes when she said that. After all, that was not what he wanted to hear. “You‘re wasting my time if you risked your life chasing after the car just to say this.” 

As soon as he finished his sentence, Christopher got into the car without hesitation. He banged the door shut, and Noah jumped in shock. “Cancel next week‘s return ‘flight for me. I‘ll take over the overseas branch office myself.” 

Noah hesitated for a moment when he heard that “Mr. Lewis, you won‘t be able to return in at least three years if you do that. Are you sure?” 

Christopher lay against the seat with his eyes shut and lips pressed into a thin line. “Just do as I say.”
