Chapter 685

Author: Goldfish
Jayden fixed his gaze on Christopher, not wanting to miss a flinch. He wanted to capture every shift in Christopher's expression.

However, there was no change on Christopher's face. His eyes remained calm, as though he knew a long time ago that Jayden would bring this up.

"You don't seem the least bit surprised by my intention," Jayden said.

Christopher chuckled. "Your intention is written all over your face, and everyone knows what you want. Why would I be surprised by it?"

He spoke calmly

    Christopher glanced at Jayden, the corner of his mouth lifting in a faint, mocking smile. "Your mother? Didn't she die a long time ago? Back when you and Janice teamed up to fake her death certificate and move the Zephyr family assets overseas, didn't you expect it to catch up with you one day? And now, you're asking me? How would I know?"Jayden's pupils shrank sharply, his clenched fists trembling.He knew Christopher had uncovered what happened back then, but he hadn't expected Christopher to lay it out so bluntly. He took a slow breath, forcing down the anger boiling inside him, his gaze turning sharp with threat. "If you've done anything to her, I won't let you get away with it.""You're overthinking it," Christopher said, the smile fading as his voice turned cold. "I'm not like you. I'm not going to take it out on an old woman, but she's going to pay for what she did back then."With that, Christopher didn't spare Jayden another glance. He opened the car door, got in, and

    Gerald looked at Jayden, impatience and exhaustion clear in his eyes.After a moment, he said, "You've already gotten the better end of this deal. You should know that. This company has been under his control all these years, managed on your behalf. If I hadn't told him to hand it over, he wouldn't have given it up so easily. You don't get to stand here and second-guess him."He paused, his gaze sweeping over Jayden's tense profile. "Stop overthinking it. Focus on running the company well. That matters more than anything else."Jayden's hand at his side clenched suddenly, his nails digging into his palm.In Gerald's eyes, no matter what he did, it all came down to Christopher letting him have it.A cold laugh slipped out of him before he turned and walked away.Lucia watched Jayden leave, her eyes reddening, her voice catching slightly. "How did things between them end up like this? They should've been supporting each other. Instead, they act like enemies…"Gerald turned to he

    Jayden was left speechless.Gerald looked back and forth between the two of them, tension crackling in the air, then glanced at Nathan, who was trembling in fear off to the side. Anger and frustration twisted together inside him, but he didn't know how to bring things under control.If Christopher really walked away… Could Jayden actually hold up the Zephyr family on his own? Had he made the right decision?Just then, the butler walked in, holding the share transfer agreement with shaking hands, and placed it in front of Christopher.Lucia tried to speak again, but one look from Christopher stopped her.He picked up the pen and signed his name without the slightest hesitation."The contract's signed. From today on, I have nothing to do with the Zephyr family." Christopher set the pen down and pushed the document toward Jayden. "For the company handover, coordinate with Nigel. Since you're the one who brought Nathan back, take proper care of him. Don't use him as a pawn again."A

    "We're just asking you to acknowledge him and give him a stable home. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it," Jayden continued. "Besides, company resources are meant for the rightful heir of the Zephyr family. Handing them out like this doesn't seem appropriate.""The rightful heir?" Christopher let out a short, mocking laugh. "What exactly are you implying, Jayden? That, as the heir of the Zephyr family, I don't have the authority to decide how resources are allocated?"Jayden shook his head. "That's not what I mean. I just think this should be handled carefully.""Handled carefully?" Christopher pressed, step by step. "When you brought Nathan back, did you think about handling it carefully? Now you suddenly want to talk about it?"Seeing the two of them about to clash, Gerald cut in immediately, "That's enough. No more arguing. Raise the child normally. None of this heir nonsense."The living room of Whitmore Manor felt frozen, the tension thick in the air.Jayden w

    Jayden set the crystal pendant down, stood up, and brushed the dust off his clothes, a smile curling at his lips."What's wrong? Not happy to see him? I'm doing this for the family. We can't just let a kid that young be left out there for people to criticize us over, right?"He paused, then shifted his tone, adding a deliberate edge. "Besides, the kid carries Zephyr blood, doesn't he? As his father, you can't just ignore him forever.""He's not mine." Christopher let out a short, cold laugh. "I already had him sent away. Why bring him back?"Nathan's tears kept falling, one after another."You can't say that," Gerald snapped, slamming his hand on the table as he stood up and pointed at Nathan. "Whether you admit it or not, everyone out there thinks he's your son! Now that Jayden's brought him back, you're taking responsibility. You're raising him properly! Otherwise, the family's reputation is finished, and the company's stock will take a hit. Can you handle that?"Lucia quickl

    Nigel said Jayden had taken Nathan, but the more she thought about it, the less it added up.Jayden was always calculating. He never made a move without being sure of the outcome.He had to know that taking Nathan would immediately put Christopher on alert or even provoke him. So why act so fast?If the goal was just to use the child as leverage, he could've done it quietly. There was no need to expose himself this quickly.Amelia frowned, a thought flashing through her mind.Maybe Jayden didn't intend to use Nathan as a threat at all. Maybe this was bait.He wanted to lure Christopher back to Whitmore Manor.After all, that was Gerald's territory, a place Jayden had been building his influence for years. The moment Christopher stepped back in, he would be walking straight into whatever trap they had set.If she could see it, Christopher definitely could, too.And that was exactly what made her uneasy.Amelia took a sharp breath, unable to sit still any longer. She grabbed he

    Dorothy glared at Christopher. "Didn't you hear Evelyn calling for you?""I did," Christopher said. "Let me send you back home.""Mia, I'll drop by to visit Evelyn again tomorrow," Dorothy said. "No need for that, Grandma. Evelyn is fine, so please don't go to all that trouble," Amelia said.Do

    Those eyes that resembled Christopher's were filled with innocence and joy. It stood in stark contrast to the coldness and distance in Christopher's eyes.Amelia hugged Evelyn tight. In this life, she would never neglect her daughter.At the dinner after visiting the grave, Christopher didn't turn

    Christopher sat right next to her and noticed that she seemed to be taking notes of what was shared on stage during the press conference."Can you understand what's going on?" he asked.Amelia furrowed her brows and turned her notebook away from him, not letting him look at her notes."She's just
