“When you put it that way, it sounds like I’m interfering too much.” Despite the smile on Kevin’s face, it
didn’t reach his eyes.
Christian merely drank without a word, tacitly implying his agreement to that statement.
“It’s rare to see you care about someone so much.” Kevin sighed again and said, “Your mother and
Nancy are at odds with each other, and it’s fine that she’s on Victoria’s side, but you are following your
mother’s footsteps… That’s not proper.”
The Thatchers and the Spritz wanted to be joined through marriage, and Victoria was thetter’s
enemy, but the Thatchers kept standing up for Victoria. At least from the viewpoint of an outsider, it
really seemed like the Thatchers were being improper.
“Others may not be clear about the car ident two years ago, but you don’t have to feign ignorance
when you know the truth. The one who was set up and suffered a loss was me, not them. All of you
don’t have toe seeking pity from me every other day by ying the victim card.”
Christian furrowed his brows slightly as he raised his ss and finished his drink. The anger on his
face couldn’t be hidden, which was rare indeed.
His attitude made Keven frown in confusion with a dash of annoyance. “What do you mean feigning
ignorance when I know the truth? Are you saying that our family staged the car ident two years
ago?” he asked, raising his voice at the end.
“You know the answer very well, whether it’s a yes or no.” For the past two years, Kevin kept making an
issue out of that ident to get Christian engaged to Be, and honestly, his patience was wearing
thin.
Kevin stared right at him and growled, “Christian, don’t forget that the police back then said that the
evidence was concrete.”
“Hmph!” Christian sneered. “If you insist on acting dumb and debate about this matter, I’m sorry, but I’ll
have to pass.”
After he said that, he left his empty ss on the table, turned his head around, and left Kevin on the
spot. Kevin’s facial expression went through a few changes, but in the end, he quickened steps and
blocked Christian’s path, chuckling. “Okay, let’s not speak about that ident if you don’t like to bring it
up.”
Christian nced at him indifferently, and even though his expression had returned to normal, he still
didn’t say a thing.
“I’m old and not as fit as a young man like you. Let’s sit down for a talk.” He pretended not to notice
Christian’s dissatisfaction as he sat in an empty seat behind Christian. After a moment, Christian
followed suit as he sat down, an open seat in between them.
“You can speak your mind. I don’t have much time.”
“Christian, are you not agreeing to get engaged to Be because you’re missing someone in your
heart?” Kevin asked.
The temperature in the room was a little high, and Christian took off his jacket and ced it over the
back of the chair. “I just don’t want to spend the rest of my life with a maniptive woman.”
“Assuming that Be was the one who staged the car ident two years ago, did she harm your
interests or that belonging to your family?” Kevin asked. “She didn’t, did she? So, why are you splitting
hairs about this?”
Christian snorted. “That’s an exceptional way for you to apologize on your daughter’s behalf, Mr.
Spritz.”
“I’m not apologizing for Be, but I just don’t want you to go down the wrong path.” Kevin knocked on
the table lightly as he spoke as though he had been through it all, “Since you were young, your life has
been smooth sailing, and maybe you couldn’t get past it that you were set up by Be this time. So—”
Christian cut him off coldly, “So are you admitting that she did set me up?”
A stunned Kevin didn’t reply and continued to say instead, “Christian, don’t ruin your future because of
your arrogance. Indeed, Be isn’t as pure as she portrays herself to be, but she has never done
anything to betray you or your family. Is that not enough?”
“I never thought I had to rely on anyone, much less a woman, to secure my future.” Christian fixed his
eyes on Kevin and said bluntly, “I’m different from you, Mr. Spritz.”
As if Kevin couldn’t understand what he meant, he said, “Amongst Mr. Philip’s grandchildren, your
ability is outstanding, but he does not favor you, and the shares you’re holding in thepany are
nothingpared to the children of your uncle, right?”
“Your point?” Christian crossed his legs, rested his arm on the back of the chair, and leaned back a
little, his shirt revealing his nice-looking corbone and slightly bulging chest muscles.
“Mr. Philip adores Be, and if you marry her, she can help you put in a good word before him.
Furthermore, if you’re quick enough, you can marry Be and have her give birth to the first great-
grandson for Mr. Philip, and he would definitely give a huge portion of shares to the child.”
After his lengthy exnation, Christian concluded it directly with one sentence. “Are you here to urge
me to get engaged to Be?”
Kevin paused and nodded firmly. “Yes.”
Christian snickered softly, then rose to his full height and picked up his suit jacket. “I’ll repeat myself. If
you guys are in a rush, you can always get someone else to marry her.”
Finally, he wore his jacket and sauntered away, not giving Kevin a chance to speak about the matter.
All traces of a smile disappeared from Kevin’s face, and he finished the wine before mming the ss
on the table, gritting his teeth. “You little b*stard, you don’t know what’s good for you!”
At 8.00PM, the birthday party had only begun for two hours, and the departure of the birthday girl didn’t
affect the jovial mood of the guests in the slightest.
After Christian parted ways with Kevin, he bumped into Matthew, dressed in a white suit, with Janice
hanging on him like a ko bear.
“This girl kept pestering me to look for Miss Coleman, but we couldn’t find her after going around a
couple of times, and when we asked others, they all said they had no idea. So you’re the only one I can
turn to now,” Matthew said helplessly.
Christian massaged his forehead irritably and replied curtly, “She left.”
Janice released her grip on her master and forgot about her own fears as her eyes widened while she
almost buried him with questions, “She left? Isn’t she the birthday girl? Why did she leave? Where’s
she now?”
Christian lifted his eyes and cast her a look, and her straight back immediately curled up
asnovelxo fast update she quickly shrank behind Matthew.
“I don’t know.” Christian frowned as he took a seat on the side, picked up a snack, and popped it into
his mouth, chewing slowly.
In a second, Janice wilted and stole a look at Christian. Suddenly, she held her belly and cried out in
pain a few times. “Mr. Buckley, it’s that time of the month for me. I’m taking my leave first!”
Matthew was rendered speechless by his disciple’s actions and couldn’t bring himself to look her in the
eyes.
“Oh, the gift, Mr. Buckley! Pass the present to Victoria!” After Janice trotted off halfway, he hastily
returned and stuffed the present into his hand. Then, she cried out in pain while holding her belly and
ran off amidst the guests holding back their giggles.
“That’s just how she is. Sorry about that.” Matthew pushed his gold-rimmed sses in a nervous tick
and turned to Christian. “Are you in a bad mood?”

Christian picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his lips. “You’ll also be in this mood if annoying
people are always pestering you.”
“That depends on who that person is. It makes me quite happy that my student is bugging me.” He
shed Christian a bright smile as he yed with the present in his hands. “Back then, when Victoria
was hanging around you, it made you rather happy as well, right?”
Christian’s lips twitched at that, and a cold look shed in his eyes. “I’ve never said I was happy
because she’s pestering me.”
Matthew clicked his tongue at him and decided not toment about it. So, he brought back the topic
from earlier, saying, “It is quite frustrating to step on some sh*t that you can’t shake off.” Hence, he
leaned closer as he raised his brows and inquired, “Christian, did they urge you to get married again?”
