The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2118

Ralph gritted his teeth, feeling peevish about the whole situation. "He plays dumb throughout the interrogation. Later, his attorney told me that he would only talk once he sees you."

"Don't go, Bella." As his eyes turned red, Justin shook his head. "It might be part of Christopher's plan. I can't let you meet with him."

"Oh, my. Are you jealous?" With a smile, Bella drew circles on his chest.

"Don't go, Bella. I'm serious." Justin's voice was raspy.

"I'm going. I'm serious." Bella looked at him with sparkling eyes. "My family has a history of taking risks. I can't be the one to break the family tradition."

Ralph met Bella in the lobby of the police station. Knowing that it was his stop, Justin halted his heavy footsteps.

Christopher occupied a single room in the detention center, which held only a stiff bed.

Even in the harsh conditions of his imprisonment, Christopher sat up straight in his well-tailored suit, his hair perfectly in place.

His pale face was marred by the shadow of a beard, adding a hint of desolation to his usual sophistication. Christopher opened his eyes at the familiar clicking of heels.

His gaze penetrated the iron bars, locking onto Bella, who stood perpetually on the other side.

She had always been the woman he loved and waited for.

"You're here, Bella." Christopher's eyes spoke of tenderness, and his voice was husky. "You're quick."Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

With a straight face, Bella glanced at the security camera in the upper-left corner. Knowing that Ralph and Justin were watching over her, she felt safe.

Bella said, "Didn't you say that you'd start talking once I got here? Well, here I am. Now, talk. Don't waste our time."

Christopher looked deep into her eyes, his sad eyes harboring so much affection. "You're as cold to me as ever."

"Anyone with a shred of conscience will not put up with your act." Bella's eyes were devoid of emotions. There was a wall between them.

"It's my birthday today, Bella." Christopher stiffly rose to his feet and inched closer to Bella yearningly." Can you wish me a happy birthday?"

Bella stared at Christopher past the iron bars in silence.

Justin witnessed the whole thing on surveillance, clenching his fists until his veins bulged.

"Don't worry, Justin. The snake is behind bars. He can't hurt Bella." Ralph patted Justin's wide shoulder." Even if he gets out, I believe he won't hurt her."

"How can you be so sure, Ralph?" Justin asked in a hoarse voice as the emotions hung heavy in his chest. "They were really close when they were kids." Ralph watched the surveillance while dwelling in the past. "Christopher wasn't seen or heard in his family during his younger days. Every kid of the Iverson has their

birthday parties except him. Chairman Iverson doesn't even remember his birthday. Christopher would come to our place for three years, and Bella would make him a birthday cake. She would use her allowance to get him a present. Bella was his only friend. It's a pity that a nice boy has now become an evil killing machine. It's so infuriating and a shame."

Overwhelmed by a sinking feeling, Justin stared at the surveillance with red-rimmed eyes.
