Chapter 423: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand

There was silence from the other side, no response.

Christopher's calm and indifferent expression grew colder in the silence, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of gloom, "What, Doctor Smith is unwilling?"

Charles Smith closed the medical record in his hand and spoke softly, "Is it the price that is unsatisfactory?"

"No, we don't want to sell anymore."

"But I've already signed a contract with Miss Norton, and the deposit has been paid." Charles Smith habitually referred to Miss Norton, seemingly to avoid associating with the "Amelia Garcia" the other party mentioned.

"I said I am willing to pay a penalty fee."

"But Mr. Hart shouldn't be able to protect himself right now, can he have the money to pay the penalty?"

Christopher's eyes darkened, "You know me?"

"Miss Norton mentioned it yesterday."

Is that really the case?

For some reason, knowing that the other person was aware of his identity made Christopher defensively anxious—feeling that things were not simple.
