NovelEnglishAstrid’s face contorted ferociously, her gaze fixed firmly on Christopher's delicate yet despicable face.
“Help me? Haha, they're animals, but aren't you the same, Christopher? Yes, you are... You're a damn snake! Even worse than them!”
Christopher showed no trace of anger. Instead, his smile deepened. “| may not be a saint, but even beasts have sloyalty. I've always been
reluctant to be too ruthless toward my own flesh and blood. So, | want to help you, Astrid. Besides, who else is thinking of you now besides me? In
this god-forsaken place, do you still consider yourself a member of the Iverson family?”
Seeing that Astrid was still resisting his so-called “help”, Christopher decided to deliver a fatal blow.
“Astrid, think about it. How did you and your husband end up in this miserable situation? Who's to blfor it all?”
Astrid’s anger surged, her voice hoarse. “The Thompson family... It's the Thompson family getting back at me! That bitch, Bella, is responsible for it!”

“Charles...”

Christopher was playing with her emotions.
Astrid fell silent, seeming lost in thought. Her eyes were visibly redder as her anger intensified.

Astrid’s eyes were blazing red, and her teeth were grinding so hard it seemed they might shatter. “I... Want... Charles... Dead!”
“Death is nothing. Once he’s dead, it’s all over, and there's no more suffering,” Christopher remarked calmly.

“I have... Charles’ dark secrets. They're in the encrypted folder on my laptop in the study. The password is...”
Christopher interrupted. “No need for a password.”
Satisfied with the outcome, Christopher stood up leisurely, looking down at Astrid’s face, which was twisted with hatred.
