Chapter 13
The next day, at the Royal Club, Olivia could not believe her ears and asked, “What? You’ve divorced?”
Katherine used to hold Christopher in high regard, and he was her highest priority.
“Being devoted to someone who doesn’t love me is being cruel to myself. Christopher told Maxwell he
never wanted to have a child with me for his entire life, and I overheard it.” Kimberly calmly recounted
the incident like she was narrating a stranger’s tale.
“What? Are you pregnant with Christopher’s child?” Olivia questioned, unable to hold back the urge.
However, she was more curious to know how Christopher would react if he were to find out that
Kimberly bore his child secretly, given his almighty stance.
“Yes, it’s an accident. It is also why I’m so determined to return to the Larson family,” explained
Kimberly.
Olivia understood her decision as a mother and how one would usually rise for their child.
She was also glad to see that her best friend had finally changed and was happy from the bottom of
her heart.
In the past, Olivia always reprimanded her best friend for behaving so timidly in front of Christopher. To
her, he was just a worthless bum that kept showing off and flirting of Christopher. To her, he was just a
with other women while his wife stayed loyal to him.
Even if she nagged at Katherine like a priest sending his daily prayers every day, it did not affect
Katherine.
She eventually got tired of nagging and was slightly displeased with Katherine for being so stubborn.
“To be honest, you should have left that d amn Christopher long ago. Do you know how strong you look
now? I’m really happy for you.” Upon ending her words, Olivia raised her wine glass and knocked it
lightly against Kimberly’s cup of fruit juice.
The crisp, bright sound of the glass clinking echoed, and the two exquisite-looking women took a sin
of their respective drinks.
They had a mutual understanding that they must cheer to celebrate any victorious

Chapter 13.
“Oh, right! From now on, I’ll get into my role and address you as Kimberly. In addition to Christopher,
Gregory came to me to ask about you too,” said Olivia.
After a brief pause, she continued, “Christopher suddenly ended all collaboration with. Xander Group,
and Xander Group is probably going bankrupt soon. Gregory must have been looking for you as the
last straw to save them. He also came to me to find out about your whereabouts a few days back.”
Kimberly’s mind wandered momentarily when she heard the news regarding the Xander family that
Olivia had brought for her.
Other than her brother, Daniel Xander, no one else in the household treated her as a part of the family.
She was curious about what their next step would be. Xander Group focused on running traditional
businesses and lost its competitiveness over the years. Morcover, the current economy was not looking
too good.
Xander Group was almost nearing the end of its lifespan. They would soon be declared bankrupt if no
one was willing to lend them a helping hand.
Shortly, shrewdness returned to Kimberly’s eyes, and she mocked, “They plotted and sold me two
years ago for the sake of Xander Group. I’m curious if Gregory is willing to sell his precious daughter,
Kristin, for the company.”
Then, she exchanged glances and smiled with Olivia, wordlessly telling one another that a good show
was about to unfold soon.
“Ollie, Vincent Sullivan is my fifth elder brother. There was a conflict between the Sullivan family and
the Levine family. Everyone in the industry knows ‘Earna’ and ‘Inferno’ are on par with each other. The
Levine family has ‘Earna. Without you, the Sullivan family stands no chance of winning against them. I
hope you can help him,” Kimberly pleaded with her best friend.
The famed “Inferno” was none other than Olivia.
“The Levine family of Norham and the Sullivan family of Dellmoor are both reputable families. Before
you came, I’ve already negotiated 7.5 million dollars as your commission,” added Kimberly.
She continued with a softened tone, “Ollie, please help Vincent, will you?” Her eyes and long curly
lashes fluttered as she blinked, making her appear extremely docile.
Kimberly could only be in such a relaxed state in front of Olivia. If not, she would retain her battle-ready
stance.
“Okay, fine. Whatever you say, goes. Pregnant women have the largest say, after all.”
Chapter 13
Olivia could not stand Kimberly acting cute in front of her.
In fact, she had already made up her mind since she turned up to meet Kimberly.
Everyone in Norham knew that Xander Group was going bankrupt, and Gregory was
anxious.
However, after much consideration, the Xander family had no leverage to negotiate with external
parties.
Gregory was in a mess and had run out of ideas. He asked Daniel; “Is there any news from Katherine?”
Just then, Lucia added fuel to the fire by saying. “That da mn Katherine. We’ve wasted. our time and
effort raising her for all these years! If she didn’t initiate the divorce against Christopher herself, Xander
group would not be in such a sticky situation now!” Daniel wanted to say something in Katherine’s
defense, but he shut his mouth and kept sile when he noticed the menacing glare Lucia was sending
his way.
Lucia could behave arrogantly because the Xander family was now depending on her precious
daughter, Kristin, to save them.
Although they were in-laws with the Levine family, their statuses were incomparable.
Hence, the Xander family could rarely get a chance to meet Christopher. They needed Kristin to bridge
the gap with someone close to Christopher.
Hence, she set her eyes on the son of the Yaeger family, Stephen Yaeger.
Kristin was pretty and good at flirting. Hence, she had the sons of wealthy families playing in the palm
of her hand.
“Stephen, are you sure you’re familiar with Levine Group and can meet Christopher, their CEO?” Kristin
was already in Stephen’s Lamborghini and on the way to Levine Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe did not have confidence in the man beside her.
However, she had no other choice and could only trust him.
The employee at the front desk recognized Stephen and knew he was the son of the Yaeger family.
Hence, they naturally gave them access to the elevator, allowing them to ascend to the upper levels.
Meanwhile, Felix received news that a young lady came along with Stephen to meet Christopher.
Chapter 13
Felix was curious and checked the surveillance cameras. “Isn’t that Katherine’s sister?” he thought.
He saw her once at Christopher’s wedding. As she was behaving conspicuously, she was easily
recognizable, and Felix recognized her at first sight.
However, Christopher was waiting for Katherine and not a troublemaker like Kristin.
Immediately, Felix rushed to report to Christopher. He was afraid that the latter would flare up later.
“Mr. Levine, Stephen Yaeger is coming up with your sister-in-law- Oh no! I meant Gregory’s daughter,
Kristin. Do you want to meet them?” Felix bent his waist in a bow and requested instruction while
trembling.
Much to his surprise, Christopher did not even cast him a glance and merely replied coldly, “Send them
away.”
Subsequently, he questioned in an irritated tone, “What’s going on? Are we allowing anyone into Levine
Group now?”
His words sent chills down Felix’s spine, and Felix hurriedly instructed the security guards to escort the
pair out of the building.
At the same time, Felix received another instruction from Christopher – “Stop all supplies from Yaeger
Group.”
Felix held onto his forehead and thought, “The Yaeger family just stepped on the toes of Go d.”
However, they could only blame themselves for trying to meddle in the affairs between Levine Group
and Xander Group despite knowing that the two corporations had ended their collaboration.
