Chapter 144

The Japanese food on the table looked scrumptious, but neither Christian nor Bella had the appetite to enjoy such a delicacy.

The corner of Christian’s lips curved up, but there was not a hint of joy in his eyes. “I’m afraid I can only apologize. Daisy is one of the employees in my Delta Club. I’m not going to hand over an employee to become the partner of an old man almost on his deathbed.”

“Are you threatening me, Chris?” Bella squeezed out a forced smile as her body tensed up.

Christian calmly replied, “I’m just reiterating the facts.” The conversation seemed so familiar, but their roles had changed.

“You’re a smart person, Chris. You should know what to do.” Bella had regained her composure as she drawled out the words.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you then.” He glanced at her coldly. “You have two choices now. First, you take Daisy with you, and I’ll treat Victoria’s legs. The second is that you sue Victoria, but I’ll be exposing Old Mr. Ford’s affairs online.”

A shocked Bella froze in horror but still maintained the slight smile on her face. “What if I take Daisy with me and still don’t agree to treat Victoria’s legs?
