?Chapter 610:


    Sometimes, Christina wondered if things would have been better if Trevor had gotten his way. But he didn’t have what it took—not even Brendon’s level of business sense. It was Bethel who truly ran the show. Karl had been sharp. He saw that none of his children were capable, so he left thepany in Bethel’s hands.


    “Get out. We need to talk,” Trevor said coldly.


    Christina’s dislike for him only deepened. Her frown did too.


    Trevor had spent years trying to force Bethel to give up control, pushing her to the edge more than once. And Christina couldn’t stand anyone who disrespected Bethel.


    “I have nothing to say to you,” Christina replied coldly.


    “Mind your tone and show some respect. You used to be part of the Dawson family,” Trevor snapped.


    “You said it yourself—used to be. Brendon and I are divorced. I don’t owe the Dawson family anything,” Christina said, her voice cool and sharp.


    Trevor’s anger red, and he snapped at Christina, “How dare you speak to me this way? I was never in favor of Brendon’s marriage to you. I shouldn’t have made concessions.”


    His brows furrowed deeper, and memories of the days he argued against Christina marrying Brendon surfaced. Christina had never pleaded for his approval, but she hadn’t acted so coldly before. Now, she didn’t even nce at him as if he mattered at all.


    Christina’s tone remained calm and detached. “Well, you got what you wanted. Brendon and I are divorced. Please move aside. I have things to do.”


    Trevor tried to keep his temper in check. “Alright, I won’t fight with you. Just convince Bethel to let me manage thepany and handle the finances. If you do, I’ll make sure Brendon takes you back.”


    He still held himself in high regard as if he were doing Christina a favor.


    With a cold gaze, Christina responded, “You’re asking the wrong person. I can’t do anything for you.” Her voice grew even colder. “Besides, I have no interest in getting back together with Brendon.”


    ???€$? ?н?t??я? 1π ?alиoνε??.???


    The thought of Trevor using a possible reconciliation as leverage waspletely absurd to her. Brendon, in her mind, was worthless. Even if he begged on his knees, she would never ept him again. A man who’d betrayed her once would never change his ways. She refused to ept someone so unworthy of her and would never allow a cheater back into her life.


    “Tell me what your terms are so we can talk it over,” Trevor said, his expression dark and strained. He wouldn’t have bothereding to Christina if he hadn’t learned that Bethel was ready to hand over the family estate to her.


    The fact that Bethel trusted Christina so much made Trevor realize just how much Christina mattered to Bethel. If Christina agreed to help persuade Bethel, his chances of gaining control would improve.


    Christina’s refusal was instant and final. “No deal. I’m not interested.”


    Trevor made onest attempt to threaten her. “Think twice before you turn down something this good.”


    His words died away when Christina fixed him with a piercing re. That look was so cold that it made him shudder, forcing him to retreat in fear.


    Taking advantage of his retreat and momentary daze, Christina pressed down on the elerator and sped off down the road.


    By the time Trevor snapped out of his stupor, Christina’s car had vanished without a trace, not even a wisp of exhaust left behind. Frustration bubbled up inside him. “Ungrateful brat!” he muttered to himself.
