Chapter 146

Christopher was sitting at his desk in the CEO’s office at Lewis Corporation. The ashtray next to him was

almost filled up.

When Steven pushed the door open and walked in, he almost suffocated from the smoke. “What the

heck are you doing? Why are you still in the office late at night? Didn’t you quit smoking some time ago?

Why are you smoking again? Your wife didn’t allow you to smoke, and now you’re not even allowed to go

home?”

Christopher stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray forcefully. With a frightening expression on his face,

he snarled, “Don’t bring her up!”

Raising his eyebrows, Steven asked, “Did you two quarrel? Is it because she found out what you did to

the Swanson family? They signed the acquisition agreement themselves, so technically, you didn’t force

them. Moreover, Jenson has to work under you now. If she’s upset about it, just let her throw tantrums.

That’s just how women are. However… now everyone knows that she cheated on you with another man.

What do you think about this? In my opinion, you deserve it. You knew it was Megan who hit her, but you

still covered for her.”

Christopher ran his fingers through his hair irritably. “Can you stop talking about this? How’s the progress

in the matter that I asked you to investigate?”

“The child must be yours. Although she and Jenson met a few times, there were always other people

present, and they never met for very long. They rarely even see each other alone. I don’t get it. Just what

the hell are you suspecting?” Steven responded grumpily.

Upon hearing that, Christopher fell silent. It was not that he did not trust her, but her attitude did not meet

his expectations. She even openly admitted that the child was not his, and everyone knew about it.

Before he could respond, Steven tutted again. “I’ll settle the ‘cuckold’ incident for you. I don’t want our

business partners to sign a contract with you out of sympathy. Our dear Christopher is a competent

man!”

“Shut up!” Christopher glared at him.

“I think you’d better not irritate her. She used to be as docile as a bunny in front of you, and you could

treat her however you like. I didn’t expect her to be so scary during an outburst,” Steven remarked,

smirking.

“That’s enough. You can scram now.” Christopher waved his hand dismissively.

“Haha. Fine. It seems that our dear Christopher has to spend the night in the office. How pitiful. Well, I

won’t accompany you. I’m going out to have fun!”

The next day, Christopher had just gotten himself ready for work and walked out of the lounge when

Emily entered the office. “Mr. Lewis, Mr. Swanson is here.”

“Ask him to come in.” Christopher straightened his tie and gave the instruction with a frown.

Emily nodded and turned to leave. Shortly afterward, Jenson walked into the office.

The injuries from the car accident were still visible on his face, and they were so conspicuous in

Christopher’s eyes at that moment. “The Swanson family’s former company name will remain the same,

and you’ll run the company as the manager. I can ask someone else to replace you if you feel aggrieved.

Anyhow, the percentage of stock you have now means nothing to me. Do you understand?”

“Yes,” Jenson answered through gritted teeth.

After taking a sip of the coffee on his desk, Christopher said, “By the way, stay away from my wife.

Otherwise, the Swanson family won’t even have a chance to get back in the saddle again.”

Jenson showed a doleful smile and responded, “While others cherish her, you treat her like she’s a

nobody and forbids others from getting close to her. I have to admit that you’re one of the most talented

people in business, but I don’t think you’re a good person. I acknowledge my family’s defeat to you.

However, I will tell you this even if my family can never get back on our feet, I’ll still bring Meg away

immediately as long as she agrees.”

There seemed to be an emotional turmoil in Christopher’s eyes, but he still maintained a smile as warm

as the sun in winter. “That will never happen. I know her better than you.”

Jenson found his words rather ridiculous. “Christopher, everyone, including me, thought you were the

best person in the world. But now I realize we are all wrong.”
