Shortly after boarding the plane, Mrs. Iverson began to feel weak, so Christopher helped her to the bed.

As soon as he emerged from the inner room, he saw Bella. She was exuding a chilling aura, her eyes burning with anger, and her captivating face flushed with fury.

"M-Mr. Iverson..." Taylor, Christopher's secretary, stood nervously behind Bella, wearing a deeply troubled expression.

She was the woman Christopher held dear, so even if she wanted to blow up the plane, Taylor dared not intervene.

In an instant, the dark look in Christopher's eyes dissipated, and his lips curled into a gentle smile.

He was about to approach Bella when she strode swiftly to stand before him.

Bella seized the lapels of his suit with both hands, channeling her resentment into strength, and forcefully pressed him against the cabin door with a loud thud.

The exquisite and expensive crystal glass on the table fell and tumbled to the ground, creating a mess beneath their feet.

"Mr. Iverson, Ms. Thompson, let's talk things out properly!" Taylor remained rooted to his spot, flustered but hesitant to intervene. Christopher met Bella's crimson gaze. His lips curled into a gentle smile as he calmly raised a hand to signal Taylor not to approach. "It was you, wasn't it, Christopher?"

Their eyes locked in an intense gaze, with fiery anger burning in Bella's eyes as she gripped his stiff collar, her hand trembling uncontrollably. "You've slipped through my fingers once again, achieving your goal. You must be feeling quite smug and satisfied, aren't you?"

"Bella, I really have no idea what you're talking about."

Christopher's expression remained unchanged as he gazed at Bella with eyes filled with almost obsessive affection, bordering on insatiable greed. "Well, regardless, I'm very pleased to have the chance to be this close to you and see you again. Bella, you've lost weight. Was Justin not taking care of you? Does he truly love you?"

"Christopher, what right do you have to say such things? You mentioning Justin's name is nothing short of an insult to him." Bella's veins on her temples bulged, twitching involuntarily.
