Chapter 14
When Felix walked out of the office, he noticed that the security guards were already holding Stephen
and Kristin by their arms as they asked the two to leave.
As soon as Stephen saw Felix, his eyes lit up as if he had found his savior.
Fervently waving his hand at Felix, he yelled, “Mr. Lynch, I’m Stephen! Can you tell Mr. Levine I’m
here?”
Felix did not intend to step forward. He waved his hand at the security guard, signaling them to throw
the couple out of the building. Otherwise, things would become ugly if Christopher were to get upset.
The more Felix thought about Christopher, the more confused he felt. It was getting harder to
understand what the latter was thinking, especially after what happened today.
“It seems like Stephen Yaeger isn’t the reason why Mr. Levine is pis sed off. The one who set him off
must be Kristin. It’s unfortunate that the Yaeger family had to be embroiled in all this,” mused Felix.
Before Stephen left the lobby of the building, he received a call from his father, Michael Yaeger.
The moment he picked up his phone, Michael reproached him fiercely, “You useless piece of trash!
What have you done? Why did you pis s Christopher off? Did you know he just announced he’s
ceasing all collaborations with Yaeger Group?”
Even though Stephen was an incompetent, careless man, he was aware of the importance of
maintaining beneficial connections in his business.
However, Kristin was still shameless and reckless even at that moment. Standing at the side, she
blamed Stephen for his inefficiency. “Didn’t you say that you’re confident about this? You even asked
me to leave everything to you.”
Anger poured through Stephen like lava. Initially, he just wanted to hit up a woman. Unexpectedly,
everything was getting out of control. Not only did he fail to get the woman he wanted, but he also
dragged the Yaeger family into the mess.
Before Kristin could finish complaining, Stephen pushed her away and got into his Lamborghini. In an
instant, he sped away, showing no resemblance to a polite and elegant gentleman.
Kristin fell to the ground with a thud. She was disheveled and looked like a mistress who had just been
abandoned by her lover.

The passersby whispered and gossiped about her as they walked past, but none of them were willing
to lend her a helping hand.
Kristin had always been pampered by Gregory and Lucia since she was young and thus had never
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexperienced such humiliation.
Regardless of how she was treasured in the past, it did not matter as Kristin was now reduced to a
helpless and miserable damsel in distress.
Unbeknownst to her, someone took a picture of a pathetic-looking Kristin while she was on the ground
and posted it on the internet. The comments section was instantly abuzz with numerous comments
pouring in, discussing the situation.
Ding!
Kimberley received a picture on her phone. She clicked into the message and zoomed into the picture.
In the picture, Kristin was crying pitifully, her appearance vastly different from her usual arrogant and
domineering look.
Kimberly curled her lips into a half-smile.
Just then, Vincent called her, asking, “What do you think? Did you feel a sense of satisfaction after
seeing it?”
He knew that picture had become a trending topic on the internet, so Kimberly would have probably
seen it anyway.
However, Vincent still sent it to her as he was excited to celebrate with his sister, seeing the monster
they both loathed was finally defeated.
Kimberly hummed in response and did not try to hide the satisfaction she felt upon seeing the picture.
“It feels great seeing someone else teach my enemy a much-needed lesson.
Just like when she was with Olivia, Kimberly did not need to put on a facade whenever she was with
Vincent either.
“Haha! Your ex-husband is also impressive, but there is always someone more powerful. You’re the
most admirable person in this entire case.”
Seeing how delighted Kimberly was over the situation, Vincent felt his own mood getting lighter, too.
Although she was not his biological sister, she was closer to him than anyone else.
Kimberly then broached the topic of the conflict between the Sullivans and the Levines. “When will you
be free? I’d like to introduce ‘Inferno’ to you. This dispute shouldn’t be delayed any further. If you file for
a lawsuit now, the Sullivan family will
Chapter 14
have the upper hand and higher chances of winning the lawsuit. All right. Let’s meet at the Royal Club.
I’ll see you there at eight.”
After getting off the call with Vincent, Kimberly fell into deep thought. “Kristin didn’t succeed this time.
They won’t set their eyes on Daniel next, right?”
Truthfully, Christopher was quite surprised to see Kristin drag Stephen all the way to Levine Group to
help put in a good word for her.
Of course, he knew that Xander Group was on the verge of bankruptcy. He also knew that Gregory had
run out of ideas. Otherwise, the latter would not need to send his daughter over to plead for help..
Christopher also found out a piece of vital information and that was the fact that Gregory also did not
know where Katherine had gone
Logically, if Gregory knew Katherine’s whereabouts, he would make Katherine beg for forgiveness
instead.
Christopher had been waiting for Katherine to turn up. Unfortunately, the person he was waiting for did
not show, but the person he was not expecting showed up instead.
It had been some time since Katherine left.
During this period, Christopher had been busy dealing with the company crisis. Due to his hard work,
the company’s stock had been stabilizing, and the detriment of the incident was kept at a minimum.
“I can finally go back and give Grandpa an explanation now,” Christopher mused to himself.
Maxwell was not dumb. After Levine Group was affected by Kiara’s scandal, although he was utterly
displeased toward Christopher, he also thought it was a perfect opportunity to see whether Christopher
was capable enough to solve the crisis by himself.
Since the very beginning of the crisis, he had been paying close attention to Christopher’s each and
every move.
Christopher’s brilliant performance put a relieved and delighted smile on Maxwell’s face.
His grandson was still young, and it was inevitable for youngsters to make a few mistakes in their lives.
Christopher’s life was too smooth-sailing back then. Hence, Maxwell wanted him to experience some
hurdles and setbacks in order for him to grow as a person.
After putting things in that perspective, the company crisis did not seem like a bad

thing at all.

After all, if no one exposed Kiara’s scheme, Christopher would continue to remain in the palm of her
hand, being played like a fiddle.
At that thought, Maxwell could not help feeling angrier.
Fortunately, the wretched woman was sent to work as a laborer in Alendor, and it was very likely she
would not have the chance to turn the tide around anymore, at least not in this lifetime.
Christopher dared not return home after Maxwell had scolded him and chased him out of the house. In
fact, he was probably too afraid to return.
Because of that, Lilian had been blaming her husband for being too harsh on their grandson. Maxwell
had no choice but to pick up his phone and make a call, but he did. not intend to call Christopher
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdirectly.
On the other end of the line, it was Felix’s phone that was ringing. He picked it up and answered
respectfully after seeing it was a call from Maxwell.
“Tell your CEO to come back and have dinner at my place tonight.”
Felix was delighted to hear that. “I’m so happy for Mr. Levine! His recent hard work has finally gotten
recognized by Old Mr. Levine,” he exclaimed in his heart.
“Understood, Old Mr. Levine,” he hurriedly replied. It was as if he was afraid Maxwell would change his
mind.
After hanging up the call, Maxwell asked Lilian to prepare some dishes their grandson enjoyed. The
poor boy had been having a tough time recently.
As soon as Lilian heard that Christopher was coming home that night, she stopped. harping on that
matter with Maxwell.
She immediately went to tell her daughter-in-law, Heather Jameson, the good news before heading to
the kitchen and asking the chef to prepare dishes according to Christopher’s liking.
Heather was different from Lilian. Although she loved her son very much, and her love for Christopher
was no lesser than Lilian’s, she was not an overprotective mother who would coddle her child.
Her life was ruined by her husband’s mistress, and she did not want history to repeat itself on her son.
Therefore, although the company crisis had caused a significant impact on the growth. of Levine
Group, she still felt they had gained more than what they lost through this

experience.
It was just unfortunate that they also lost Katherine.
After spending time with Katherine for the past two years, Heather could feel the young woman’s
sincerity, and loyalty. Moreover, she knew Katherine was trying her best to salvage her relationship with
Christopher. Sadly, her effort was all in vain.
“Christopher is not fortunate enough to spend the rest of his life with Katherine. It’s all because he
doesn’t know how to cherish her. Then again, that’s just how love works. The ones who aren’t in the
relationship often have a clearer picture than the ones who are in the relationship. I hope Christopher
learns his lesson after this and has a better understanding of relationships. If he has the chance, I sure
hope he could reconcile. with Katherine and bring her back. That would be great,” Heather pondered.
