"I thought it would be James or Lance. But it turned out to be one of Charles' men." Ralph harbored sdoubts, pondering. "Besides, I'm afraid Charles might have sulterior motives. I even had people closely monitoring his lawyer these past two days. After all, he hasn't seen anyone besides his lawyer. But his lawyer is normal, and his call records have been checked. There's been no contact with the murderer." "That's strange. Could it be that the people under Charles are fiercely loyal to him? Were they afraid of getting exposed, so they acted on their own without communicating with him? Does he really have such an elite team?" Bella furrowed her brow in contemplation.

"Since James was eager to take action, he must have dispatched people to monitor Rachel. When they found out she had contact with us, they wanted to silence her." Although Bella had a fiery temper, she was calm during crucial moments.
Bella analyzed the situation meticulously. “But doing something like this is risky. They need to succeed on the first try and eliminate the threat as quickly as possible under our noses, which undoubtedly poses significant risks. So, James probably thought of using Charles' men to do it. This way, even if the murderer was caught, the suspicion would fall on Charles, and he has ways to escape." Justin stared fixedly at Bella, as if she were a reincarnation of Athena, radiating boundless wisdom.
His mind stopped working at this moment, too engrossed in his admiration of her.

Neither of these scumbag brothers will escape justice!" "Surely, James has already gotten wind of it and cleaned himself up completely. This kind of hired murderer lacks a clear connection and leaves no direct evidence. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to catch him by the tail." Bella's eyes were cold and stern.
"I'm so frustrated! I can't eat if I don't catch that bastard!" Ralph was furious. "I hate this feeling the most when I know who the killer is but I'm not able to catch him!" "It's okay, Ralph, just go at your own pace. Don't be impatient or overly obsessed. Perhaps, as things progress, there will be unexpected gains." Bella reassured him.
After the call ended, the room fell into silence.
"Bella." Justin opened his arms to embrace her, his sharp jaw nuzzling gently into her fragrant hair. “Although my idea might not be the best, I suddenly feel that it's not bad either of all the evidence points to Charles, then it's not just simple rape anymore. It's hiring someone to commit murder and attempted murder. With multiple charges, he'll end up sitting in jail for a long time." "Sigh, it's unbelievable how you always think the sas me." Bella faced him, her slender arms hooking around his waist as she nestled softly into his chest. Justin's eyes were ignited with desire.
Bella continued, "But sentencing Charles to just ten or twenty years is too easy for him. I was planning to, hire the top legal team in the country for Rachel and that girl, determined to bring that scumbag to justice. Hmph! I didn't expect his own brother to do the job before I could even start. Their brotherly love is enough to make one cry." el "Everyone in that family has twisted values and constantly undermines each other. They really don't know what familial love is. Even if we do nothing, the final outcof their internal strife can only be self-destruction." Justin spoke lightly, his warm yet restless gaze wandering behind her. His fingers naturally slipped into her shirt, caressing her delicate skin. Each touch igniting a fire. With each touch, Bella melted like snow in the spring. Fireworks were going off in her mind in a myriad of colors. Her lips were sealed by his, and their tongues were deeply entwined.
Unable to restrain himself, Justin's lips grazed her earlobe. His voice was husky with desire as he said, "I'll go lock the door." Electrified, Bella managed to overcher desires with a surge of reason. She suddenly pinched his waist hard. "Stop it! This is a hospital! No nonsense allowed!"
