My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore
Chapter 48

Chapter 48

In Christopher’s heart, Ivy was his redemption.

He believed that without her, he might have been plagued by a deeper fear and lingering trauma from the fire, even if he had eventually been rescued.

This special connection with Ivy always made him see her in a unique light, regardless of the situation.

Initially, he accompanied Ivy to the Levine manor, a place in Norham where everyone regarded it as her own.

Losing the lawsuit and having to pay a significant amount of money would be difficult for any boss, no matter who they were.

When a man felt restless, he often sought solace in the company of his buddies.

Noah, known for his loyalty, was always available to Christopher. A simple call from Christopher was all it took to have Noah by his side.

Upon his arrival, Noah immediately detected Christopher’s despondent mood.

With a hint of speculation, Noah asked, “It seems like things didn’t go smoothly in Dellmoor, right?”

Noah had long been aware of the Levine Group’s legal battle with Sullivan Group.

Yet, he had always held the belief that the Levine Group would emerge as the ultimate winner.

To his surprise, Vincent had managed to turn the tide in the end.

Christopher spoke nonchalantly. “This time, they succeeded in convincing Mr. Griffin to testify in court. Meanwhile, Inferno’s really capable. She uncovered all the evidence. of the Levine Group’s suppression of Sullivan Group in recent years and even formulated a damage assessment report that greatly favors Sullivan Group.”

Upon hearing this, Noah also grew intrigued by Inferno.

Inferno and Earna were legendary figures in the industry.

They were highly familiar with Earna, and his past achievements were obvious to all.

However, their understanding of Inferno was limited to rumors and hearsay.

This was primarily because Inferno maintained an exceptionally low profile, often appearing and vanishing without a trace.

“Who exactly is this Inferno?” Noah was eager to uncover the truth.

Christopher swirled his glass, tilting his head slightly. He enjoyed the feeling of the liquid as it glided down his throat.

“That person is someone we are familiar with.”

This statement triggered Noah’s internal analytical skills.

He was a skilled hacker, and upon hearing this, he reflexively began eliminating one acquaintance after another in his mind.

After some time, he still couldn’t identify any suspect.

He stared at Christopher, utterly bewildered, resembling a student deeply engrossed in a lecture.

“Olivia Salter.”

These two words held no significance for Noah.

“Katherine’s best friend.”

Noah had a quick temper, and Christopher’s slow revelation of a few words was driving. him crazy.

This was truly explosive news.

“Da mn.”

Noah felt as though he was boiling with excitement. This was getting quite interesting.

“So, you’re telling me that your ex-wife’s best friend is the reason you lost in court?”

Immediately after uttering his previous sentence, Noah swiftly added, “But Inferno is, in fact, Olivia, an ordinary woman. It’s truly unbelievable. Who would have ever suspected that? Vincent certainly has some tricks up his sleeve to uncover all of this.”

The more Noah thought about it, the more it didn’t

It well with him. “So, did Olivia take on this case solely as a professional duty, or is there some intention of retaliation against you?”

At this point, Christopher’s sharp gaze sent a cold shiver down his spine.

Noah chose to ignore it and continued, “Women shouldn’t be underestimated. Thankfully, I’ve followed my mom’s advice to keep my distance from them.”

After this remark, Noah laughed heartily.

In fact, he was simply trying to lighten the mood, as he had come out to relieve Christopher’s emotions.

“Mr. Griffin has been under your influence for many years. How did he agree to testify for the opposing side? Have you two had a falling out?”

To Noah, this situation was shrouded in mysteries, and he was eager to uncover the truth one by one.

“Mr. Griffin’s son is battling severe leukemia and is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, locating a compatible donor with a rare match has been at challenging task. I’ve even used my connections in Japrium to aid in the search. Surprisingly, Vincent managed to get ahead of us.”

Upon hearing this, Noah indeed had a new perception of Vincent.

Despite his laid-back appearance, his abilities were not to be underestimated.

This suggested that his usual demeanor might be a facade.

Upon hearing Noah’s analysis, Christopher shared the same sentiment.

He agreed that he should not underestimate Vincent in the future.

Christopher pondered for a long while and asked, “Is there still no news about Katherine?”

During this period, Noah had been relentlessly searching for any sign of Katherine.

However, despite his best efforts, he had come up empty-handed.

This left Noah feeling a bit puzzled.

When Katherine was around, Christopher couldn’t wait to get rid of her.

But now that she had left without a trace, he couldn’t seem to shake her from his thoughts.

“To be honest, do you even know why you’ve been so determined to replace Katherine?”

Christopher found himself uncertain about how to respond to Noah’s question.

After some thought, he casually responded, “I’m worried she might be a spy sent by the opposition, so I have to be cautious.”

Christopher likely didn’t even believe his own response, but Noah had no intention of ressing him further. Instead, he stated that he would continue tracking Katherine and gave it to fate.

Chapter 48

Noah once again recognized that when Katherine became determined, she could outperform men in various ways.

Katherine used to stand by Christopher’s side, as meek as a lamb.

However, now, she had transformed into a fearless lion, unafraid to let go.

Noah had an unshakable intuition that this woman was far from ordinary.

In Dellmoor, at the Royal Club.

Kimberly and her team were also hosting a celebratory banquet.

After days of tireless efforts, they had managed to turn the tide.

The mainstream media had been closely monitoring the civil dispute case between the two companies.

Many had initially believed that the Levine Group had a strong likelihood of winning.

However, for Vincent and his team, this matter held a dual significance.

From an objective standpoint, it was a case of the Levine Group lacking transparency. In simpler terms, they had been too selfish.

They were reluctant to distribute such a substantial resource and opted to retain it all for themselves.

Moreover, Christopher had become their public enemy.

Kimberly had always been their cherished sister, wholly devoted to Christopher, yet she had been heartlessly abandoned.

They needed a way to release their resentment.

Vincent intentionally took a seat next to Olivia.

Kimberly immediately noticed that there was a connection between these two.

To be more precise, Vincent had a plan in motion.

However, deep down, she couldn’t help but gloat. “Vincent, you should grow bolder with every setback.”

After spending numerous years with Olivia, Kimberly was keenly aware that ever since the former had closed the door on romance, she had dedicated herself entirely to her career, purposefully steering clear of matters of the heart.

Chapter 48

Even with Jaxon’s return and his yearning for a fresh start, there appeared to be no emotional stirrings within her.

In contrast to Jaxon’s aloofness, Kimberly felt a stronger attraction to Vincent’s well- balanced warmth.

Her strongest desire was for Vincent and Olivia to get married.
