Chapter 160: Two Men, One Family

After what felt like an eternity, the door swung open. David, Christopher's personal assistant, greeted me with a warm smile.

"Ms. Wilson." His tone was welcoming and familiar.

"David, is Christopher inside?" I asked, unable to mask the urgency in my voice.

"Mr. Blake is in the-" David's words died on his lips as his gaze shifted behind me, registering Sean's imposing presence. The friendly smile vanished instantly, replaced by a guarded expression.
