Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 612

Christopher scoffed, “Partnership? There are lots of people who want to partner with me. Mr. Goldstein asked me about it as well a few days ago. I didn’t expect that to be your aim as well.”

“I’m sure that his partnership meant nothing good. After all, I know him very well. Did he also threaten you with Yvonne?” Lucas said firmly.

Christopher didn’t answer him. Instead, he threw the medical record on the table. “How can I be sure that you’re telling the truth?”

Lucas replied calmly, “You can ask that doctor. His contact number is there on the medical record. I know about what happened to you at the border. With your identity, you will certainly not let go of any bad guy, especially when they attempt to end your comrades’ lives. As long as he’s still actively running his business there, your comrades will eventually lose their lives because of him.”

Christopher narrowed his eyes. “So, you want to cooperate with me to take down Mark Goldstein? Are you sure? He’s my father-in-law, so don’t you think you’ve gotten the wrong person?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sure. If you aren’t related to Yvonne, I might need to reconsider. I don’t want to take the risk. After all, Uncle Mark is a cruel person who dared to harm me when I was young. If my father didn’t pretend to be useless and ignorant all these years, I would have died long ago.”

Lucas looked calm as if he was talking about the others and not himself.

“But he’s Eve’s father. If something happens to him, she will be sad. You should know that I won’t do anything that will upset her.” Christopher remained unfazed.

Truth be told, he had lost his composure deep down in his heart. If Yvonne knows about how Isabelle has been living, she will be devastated. However, it’s all the more reason for me to stay calm at this moment.

“But Aunt Isabelle is more important to her, right? You’ve seen how her life has been like all these years. No woman can keep living such a life, so perhaps it’s because of some reason that she can’t leave Mark Goldstein. If you can deal with him, then she can be free.”

Christopher kept staring at the medical record in silence. At once, all kinds of thoughts rushed into his mind.

Lucas then continued, “Besides, even if Mark gets exposed, he will only lose his freedom and end up in jail at most. Yvonne probably won’t be that devastated. At that time, if Aunt Isabelle can start a new life, she may feel grateful to you and let go of her hatred toward the Lane family. In the end, you and Yvonne will get her blessings. So, why not?”

Noticing how Christopher remained silent, Lucas knew he had won Christopher over successfully. Although Christopher was a calm man and was always smiling, no one could ever scheme against him easily. However, he had a weakness—Yvonne. As long as I can hold on to that, Christopher will help me achieve what I wished to do yet couldn’t all these years.

“Are you sure that it’s gratitude and not resentment? After all, love is beyond comprehension.” Christopher remained unmoved. It’s a grave matter, so I can’t rush to judgment.

“No. Aunt Isabelle is a decisive person. You see, she gave up on all the men who pursued her for Nathan Tanner back then. Even your brother, Darius, was rejected by her. So, it’s apparent how much she loved Nathan at that time. When Nathan brought Scarlett and Yvette back to the Tanner residence, she left without hesitation and completely forgot about him.”

After hesitating for a moment, Christopher asked in a low voice, “What can I get if I collaborate with you?”

“That’s easy. I can provide you with all the proof of Mark Goldstein’s illegal businesses at the border. With your ability, I’m sure you can defeat him even if he has someone behind him.”

Right then, Lucas coughed violently. “Don’t doubt my intention. I don’t want to drag Yvonne into this mess as well if it’s possible. The fact that she’s his daughter is what surprised me the most.”
