Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Bella didn’t bother to greet or approach Christopher.

In the light, Bella could clearly see Christopher slowly lowering his body, burying most of his delicate face in his arms, leaving only a pair of beautiful yet lonely eyes exposed. It was the same pitiful, lonely look from fifteen years ago when she saw him being forced to stand

in the rain by Chairman Iverson.

“Yikes. When did he get here? Did he teleport here? There was no sound at all.” Ralph shuddered involuntarily, feeling a chill run down

his spine.

Asher looked in Christopher’s direction, then glanced meaningfully at Bella’s complex expression. “Did he follow you to the Salvadors’

manor?”

“Yeah.”

Just then, the sports car started again. It turned around and drove off

in the opposite direction, quickly disappearing into the night.

“What? Did he just leave like that?”

Ralph frowned. “Bella, all the guys chasing after you are either

scumbags or stalkers. As your brothers, how can we not worry about

your safety when you’re out there alone?”

“Let’s focus on the matter at hand.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bella no longer dwelled on Christopher. She directly changed the

subject, frowning. “Ralph, how’s the investigation going with Harry? Is

he still unwilling to talk?”

Ralph sighed in frustration. “It’s going to take longer than expected. That guy is way more loyal than we imagined. He’s completely

devoted to Shannon. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were a

married couple.”

“Actually, I’ve thought about it. If he’s willing to kill for Shannon, getting him to spill the beans won’t be easy.”

Bella crossed her arms, her gaze gloomy. “This time, I want you to interrogate him as I instructed and break down that man’s willpower. Once he’s vulnerable, we will strike and destroy his feelings for

Shannon.”

“Bella, tell me what to do next. We’re with you all the way!” Ralph was already eager and determined to make that despicable scoundrel pay

the price.

“Just getting Harry to testify against Shannon isn’t enough.” Bella

clenched her fists tightly, her eyes blazing with anger. “For all the pain. Aunt Celeste endured because of her, I want Shannon to pay back a

hundredfold!”

“Bella, Ralph, I think we should continue digging deeper into the relationship between Harry and Shannon,” Asher suggested calmly,

his gaze sharp.

“Shannon asking Harry to target Aunt Celeste was probably an impulsive decision. The fact that a single phone call from Shannon was all it took for that man to do her bidding wholeheartedly without

any hesitation suggests that they’ve been in contact all these years.

Who knows? There might be plenty of shady dealings going on behind

the scenes. Perhaps he’s been doing her dirty work for years.”

Ralph sneered. “Yeah, maybe they’ve got a whole other family hidden away, with Gregory unbeknownst to it.”

Bella laughed it off, but her mind wandered involuntarily.

If that were really the case, things would be much simpler. This would be earth-shattering evidence. It would be enough to keep Shannon

down for the rest of her life!

However, Shannon’s arrogance and obsession with her status as Mrs. Salvador made Bella wonder if she would really lower herself to have

an affair with someone beneath her social level.

Steven clenched his teeth with anger. “Hmph! If they are really having an affair, I hope Bethany is their illegitimate daughter. Then this scheming mother-and-daughter duo can pack up and leave the Salvador family. It’d be justice for you, Ms. Bella!”

Bella pondered for a moment, then asked softly, “Ash, has Drew been

in touch lately? When is Dr. Arnold Larson coming to Savrow?”

“Drew called me and said he’s still sorting things out with Dr. Larson.

He’ll bring him to you as soon as possible.” Asher reassured her,

patting her shoulder gently. “Don’t worry, your big brother is here.

Whatever you want, I’ll make it happen. I will do everything in my

power to help you.”

“I’m here for you too, Bella!” Ralph chimed in eagerly with his arms. raised, his eyes sparkling with determination.

“Me as well, Ms. Bella,” Steven added with a warm smile.
