Bella avoided Sasha and Elias, continuing her call with Justin under a tree.
"Every crime leaves evidence. Ralph is an expert in solving cases, so given time, if a special task force is set up to investigate Owen, they will definitely find some trace of Christopher's involvement."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, Bella." Justin's breath was heavy. "Ralph said he checked Owen's bank account and call records, but Owen didn't have any unusual income over the years, not even foreign- sourced income.
"Although there were a few suspicious, unknown numbers from his call records, they were all made from different phones and unregistered. We're unable to identify the callers. Owen himself is a policeman. If he committed crimes, he would be more professional than a criminal, with strong anti-surveillance skills." "It's indeed tough if there's no transaction records." Bella's hand clasped behind her back, pacing back and forth. "It means that he was not tied to Christopher because of profits. Everything he did was for the success of the new drug's development, to save his wife. That's why he worked for Christopher without hesitation. His conviction is too strong."
Justin gritted his teeth. "If that's the case, it would be an impossible mission to make him betray Christopher."
Bella narrowed her eyes. "Perhaps not entirely impossible."
"Bella, do you have a plan?"
"I don't have any plans. I could only gamble once more."
"Gamble on what?"
Bella's clear eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Human nature."
The other end of the phone went silent.
After a while, Justin took a deep breath and saw through her thoughts. "You're gambling on Christopher's nature to be despicable to the extreme, making Owen lose trust in him completely?"
"Yes." A warm feeling surged in Bella's chest. She loved how it felt to have a tacit understanding with the man she loved. "Given the firm cooperative relationship between them combined with Owen's strong desire for the new drug, Owen wouldn't betray Christopher even if he died.
"Unless, we completely destroy Christopher's image in his mind. Unless he sees that the person he always trusted to save his wife was a selfish demon. Besides, with Owen captured right now, no one would be caring for his wife. It's highly likely that Christopher would try to control his wife and threaten him."
"Bella, you're really perceptive. I was too shallow in my thinking, but you're always several steps ahead of me."

Justin never hesitated to praise his wife. "But in fact, even if Christopher did nothing, he can probably get through this unscathed."
"Ha, trusting Christopher not to play dirty? I'd rather believe that pigs can fly!" Bella's gaze was cold as she sneered, "A man as despicable and shameless as Christopher does not deserve a capable subordinate like Deputy Chief Hopkins. The reason he's been able to commit such evil for so long is because he had leverage over many people, using them and reaping the benefits. He thought he had the whole world in control but neglected something."
Justin immediately responded, "Cornering a desperate man might backfire on him."
"Smart!" Bella blew a kiss on the phone.
"Darling, where are you?" The man's voice sounded restrained, but it was still extremely hoarse. "It's been a few days. Reward me tonight, okay?"
Bella's lashes fluttered. "Just once?"
"Three times." Justin's breath grew heavy, feeling as if it could envelop and wrap around her through the phone.
"Oh, right, Justin, let's get serious." Bella touched her flushed face, her expression turning serious. "We need to think of a secure plan to rescue Yvonne. Now that Owen has been caught, although Christopher does not have concrete evidence to prove that it was Yvonne who leaked it, he would definitely suspect Yvonne first! Her situation would be extremely dangerous. I don't want Drew to be heartbroken and regretful, and I don't want to sacrifice another innocent life!"
Justin comforted her softly, "Bella, don't worry. Drew and I will think of something for Yvonne."
The executive meeting at the Iverson Group was canceled due to Chairman Iverson's health, and he went home to rest.
As night fell, Pivotage remained bustling with indulgence and debauchery, people giving in to sensual pleasures.
Yvonne sat at the dressing table in her room, combing her long hair. Her red lips gradually curled into a smile.
The news of Owen's arrest caused an uproar in the city, so she heard about it. She was so happy that she had trouble sleeping for three days.
Christopher had spent so much effort to painstakingly build a domino castle over the years, but the most crucial tile had toppled.
Was it still far from the day this sinful city met its end?
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Yvonne's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stood up, only to see Taylor, who had a flushed face, walking straight toward her as he stared intently.
She knew with one glance that he had been drinking, but he was merely tipsy, not drunk.
As Christopher's secretary and trusted aid, Taylor had always been on high alert, remaining clear-headed
and abstinent. The fact that he had been drinking tonight was unusual.
"You had something to drink?" Yvonne looked at him in surprise.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
"Yvonne, I'm so happy!" Taylor smiled, his eyes glazed, and he suddenly grabbed Yvonne's soft waist, pulling her into his arms.
Yvonne's body was pressed tightly against him, and she could even feel the man's biological reaction, making her incredibly uncomfortable and nauseous.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!" She struggled with all her might, but the more she struggled, the
more excited the man was.
He firmly pinched her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. "Yvonne, I have some good news. Something worthy of celebration."
Yvonne's heart raced with panic, her voice trembling. "What..."
"We're getting married." Taylor's alcohol-laden breath grew heavier, spraying on her nose and almost kissing her lips. "Chairman Iverson gave you to me. From now on, you're my wife... My woman!"
