Chapter 2120
Bella stared at Christopher in disbelief, her heart sinking to the pit of her stomach.
She devised the perfect plan to capture Christopher while washing her hands completely and keeping those involved safe.
However, she was totally blindsided.
She did not foresee that Christopher needed to take medication for his illness.
"Though you have met bail, Mr. Iverson, you need to wear an ankle monitor and report your whereabouts to us at all times."
The police officer opened the door of the cell, and Christopher walked out with a straight face.
When brushing past Bella, Christopher paused and leaned into her ear to whisper softly. "Either way, thank you for visiting me, Bella. This is a birthday I'll never forget."
The group then took off.
Bella was left behind, clenching her fists with a pale face.
Granted bail, Christopher stood in front of the police station with a frail look and answered the press' questions.
"I need to take medication for my illness, so the substance showed up as positive in my urine sample. I would like to apologize for causing trouble to the police and taking up public resources just to clear the misunderstanding."
He hung his head low somberly. The high and mighty leader of a corporation humbled himself to admit a mistake that was not his fault in the first place.
He carried himself with such grace.
His approach stirred the crowd with emotion.
Besides, Christopher had the face and bearings to play the part of the wrongly accused victim perfectly.
"Mr. Iverson, how would you explain the news about illicit drugs in your ward?"
Taylor took over indignantly.
"Someone is out to get Mr. Iverson and the Iverson Group. We have filed a report with the police, and the police have begun their investigation. We are determined to bring justice to the real perpetrators and clear Mr. Iverson's name."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
The press, who came to mock Christopher, now became his staunch supporters.
The public was now in favor of Christopher.
Attorney Lyles stayed behind to deal with the fallout while Christopher slipped into a Bentley under Taylor's escort.
"Where to, Mr. Iverson?" Taylor asked with concern.
"To Pivotage for a rest." Christopher sank his back wearily against his seat, took off his golden-framed glasses, and pinched between his brows.
Christopher's refined features were married by a rugged charm. "Hold a board meeting tomorrow
morning at the Iverson Group. The company must be in turmoil. I need to show up to hold the fort down."
"You have had it rough, Mr. Iverson. You're not in tip-top shape yet. Don't work yourself to the core." Taylor was frustrated and sorry.
"Oh, well. Bella created a bit of a problem, and I needed to clean up after her." Christopher smiled tenderly, happy to indulge her.
"Even if you're going to yell at me, I have to say that Ms. Thompson has crossed the line, Mr. Iverson." Taylor was furious. "You might have been put in jail if the incident wasn't handled right. What would the Iverson Group be without a leader? How would you answer to the Boss?"
