“Chief Collin, it’s alright. Mr. Salvador’s skills surpass both Winston and Captain Ralph's,” Bella gestured toward Justin and chuckled. “But in case he becomes stubborn, it would be wise to assign additional personnel to monitor Winston. I'm concerned that he may resort to desperate measures while in custody.” Winston had better stay alive before everything comes to an end.
At the detention center, Ralph and two other police officers waited outside while Bella and Justin interrogated Winston.
After waiting for a while, Winston, who was in prison attire and handcuffed, was escorted in by the officers. [x] “Well, well, well, if it isn’t my old friends.” Winston greeted them with a wicked grin as he sat down on a metal chair, eyeing Bella with a lecherous gaze. “Ms. Thompson, did you miss me?” Bella remained calm and collected, her demeanor firm and cold, while Justin's anger had reached its peak. His jaw tightened sharply, and his eyes were burning with uncontrollable rage.
The beast inside him was almost on the verge of breaking free! Seeing Justin's fury, Winston couldn’t be more pleased, laughing loudly behind the bars.
At that moment, Bella firmly grasped Justin's trembling hand under the table. The warm yet firm sensation spread through his nerves, calming his agitated emotions with an inexplicable sense of tranquility. Gradually, the surging tide of his emotions subsided.
“Quit the nonsense and cut to the chase. | need to go back to sleep,” Winston snapped, showing he was ready to stand his ground.
“Winston, we're here to ask you to work together with us,” Bella began slowly, changing her approach to make it more appealing.

“Although you wanted to kill us, you didn’t succeed, did you?” Bella said with a smirk.
Winston frowned. After all, he was a former mercenary and a professional killer. Bella’s words were a direct insult to his expertise.
“You're well aware of our country’s laws. Even for foreign criminals, the maximum sentence is 20 years But do you really want to spend 20 years in this place? After 20 years, you'll be deported back to Terranova. When you are 60 years old, will your connections still be there for you? Can you survive in a Terranovan prison at that age? You know the harsh conditions there. Do you believe you can endure it?” Bella skillfully targeted Winston's weaknesses with every word, not wasting ton small talk.
She was an adept negotiator.
Justin quietly squeezed Bella’s hand, his eyes filled with respect and affection.
The smile on Winston's face visibly stiffened.
Bella took advantage of the moment to continue, narrowing her eyes slightly. “It's clear that Shannon orchestrated all this. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have gotten so out of hand. Our main enemy isn’t you. It’s Shannon. Now that you're locked up and facing serious charges, Shannon remains untouched as the Salvador family’s madam, living freely as if she had no part in your suffering today. Can you truly accept that?”
