Chapter 215 215. Christopher Mormon 2.
Wolfgang pulled him up, allowing Christopher to lean his back against the bed behind him.
But there was still water in his hair and the water flowed down his face, dripping from his chin to the floor.
He had no clothes on his body, aside from his briefs.
Once the water dripping from his hair finally stopped, he opened his eyes once again to find himself surrounded by men dressed in suits and glaring at him with murderous intent.
His heart began to beat faster when he noticed every one of them holding a gun in their hands.
Were they going to kill him? He wondered, but Christopher couldn't recall offending anyone to the point that they would resort to treating him like this.
It didn't make sense to him why anyone would want to have him killed. While he was trying to recall any past event that might have caused the predicament he currently found himself in, Wolfgang's voice suddenly brought his attention towards him.
"Hey!! The boss has a few questions for you."
Christopher Mormon focused his gaze at the center of where all the guards stood and saw a young man sitting on a chair and staring at him.
The room was no longer as dark as it once was when he entered it a few minutes ago, so he could clearly see the faces of everyone around him.
The TV was still switched on as well, and strangely enough, he could still hear Ellen moaning on the other side of the room.
'Just how long have they been doing it?' He wondered.
Are they on drugs or something?
Although Christopher Mormon didn't want to look at the television screen he was very curious to see what kind of facial expression Ellen was making right now while she was being hammered by different men.
When he turned to the screen, he became certain of what he previously saw.
"She looks happy, doesn't she?"
Christopher Mormon heard Kevin's words and this made his heart clench even more.
"I bet this is the happiest she has ever been in this motel," Kevin added, and this only made Christopher Mormon grit his teeth even harder.
He didn't want to admit what he saw, but no matter how hard he tried to deny it, the reality remained that this was the first time he had ever seen Ellen make such an expression.
Although his anger wasn't aimed at Ellen for making such a perverted face, instead, he blamed Kevin for Ellen's current situation.
If Kevin hadn't ordered his men to gang up on her, she probably wouldn't be letting out such indecent moans.
In fact, if Kevin and his gang hadn't appeared in the first place, he would have probably been having his usual kinky intercourse and role-play with Ellen by now.
In short, Kevin was his enemy and now he finally understood why they were here.
"Fools," He muttered, chuckling to himself at how naive Kevin and his men were.
"Who sent you?'
"How much were each of you paid to do this?"
Since Kevin and his men went through all the trouble to gang up against Ellen, Christopher Mormon had concluded that one of the board members of Maxflix was involved in what was currently going on.
For the past few weeks, he had been subtly selling mistletoe to them even though Ned Baratheon had strictly given him the order not to engage in doing such a thing.
But he was tired of taking orders from Ned Baratheon, especially since Ned broke their initial agreement.
Maxflix was Initially supposed to be handed over to Christopher in front of the media, for the whole world to see, but Ned Baratheon went against his words and instead offered the company to his son.
This was why Christopher decided to do things the way he saw fit.
Of course, he wouldn't do anything that would easily allow Ned Baratheon to find out what he was plotting.
And this was where mistletoe came into play.
A couple of the board members had shown genuine interest in the drug and were requesting more from him, but he had instructed them to be a little patient before he could offer them more of the drug.
However, a good number of the board members weren't too keen on the idea of waiting for a month before receiving another gram of mistletoe.
Hence the reason why they must have hired these men to threaten him into providing more drugs for them.
But no matter how much the board members paid these men, Christopher Mormon was willing to double the amount they had been offered to carry out their mission.
Now that his mind was made up, he knew it was only a matter of time before Kevin and his men released him.
After all, there wasn't anything money couldn't solve.
This was the conclusion he came to, however, he didn't expect Kevin to decline his offer.
"We don't need your money."
"W-what?!"
"You don't need the money?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Do you know how much I....." Christopher Mormon began with rage at Kevin's response, but he was suddenly interrupted by Kevin.
"..... Have embezzled and laundered from the company's funds for your own personal gain?"
"What?!" Christopher Mormon was shocked to hear those words being uttered from Kevin's lips.
None of the board members knew of this fact, so how did this man know about it?
Weren't they sent here by one of the board members?
Wasn't mistletoe their main objective for doing all this?
Or maybe someone on the board already knew of his secret?
'No!! That's impossible,' Christopher Mormon shook his head to reject such a possibility. Ever since he decided to embezzle the company's funds, he made it his main objective to ensure that no one could ever trace the embezzled funds to his account, so there was no way anyone on the board could find out the truth.
