NovelStartBella and Justin exchanged shocked glances. Although they had always believed that Aaron's arrogant and self-important nature would eventually lead to his downfall, they had not expected it to happen so soon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Ralph, was it your people who were tracking Aaron that led to his capture?" Bella asked curiously.
"No, we received an anonymous tip that led us to Aaron's warehouse, where the illegal drugs were hidden. And that's not all-we also found two bodies of the Southern Star Syndicate members on one of Larson Group's ships near the warehouse dock!" The couple's eyes widened in shock.
"The bodies had been frozen, so they were well preserved and hadn't decomposed. It seems the plan was to use the cargo ship to smuggle them out of the country for disposal. After all, Savrow is crawling with our police surveillance and cameras. Disposing of two bodies wouldn't have been easy," Ralph's voice darkened. "We conducted autopsies on the bodies immediately. As expected, both deaths were caused by drug poisoning." Justin's brows furrowed, his gaze turning deep and thoughtful. "Ralph, you've been monitoring Aaron for over a month without him making any suspicious moves, but someone anonymously provides you with crucial information about his drug stash." Bella, picking up on his thoughts, quickly added, "And not only that, but you also found bodies on a Larson Group's ship nearby. It's all too convenient, isn't it? It feels like someone's orchestrating this." "Bella, it does seem coincidental, but one thing is indisputable." Ralph took a deep breath, his voice heavy with seriousness. "Larson Group is currently the largest supplier of illegal drugs that we've uncovered in Savrow. Not only have we raided their hideouts, but the warehouse employees and Aaron's personal secretary have also confessed to their involvement in the illegal drug trade. However, they all deny having killed anyone or hidden bodies, and they claim they have no idea where the two corpses cfrom. We're still investigating this." "Ralph, are you alright?" Bella couldn't help but notice the strain in Ralph's voice.
After all, the Larson family was Aunt Mila's family by birth. Even though Aunt Mila had severed ties with them after marrying into the Thompson family, the outside world still saw blood as thicker than water. The connection was undeniable.

This complicated relationship was not beneficial for Ralph, who was leading the investigation into the illegal drug case. He might even be forced to step down from the special task force because of it. "Bella, I know what you're worried about, but I'll be fine." Ralph sighed, his voice tinged with resignation.
"I'm just concerned about my mother. Don't be fooled by her indifferent exterior or how she seems to have cut all ties with her family. Deep down, she doesn't want to see the Larson family fall into such disgrace. Even though she left the Larson family, she still hopes they'll be alright." Content belongs to en.sw"Yes, Aunt Mila is very kind. After all, the Larson family is where she was born and raised, and she was once the most cherished daughter of Old Master Larson." Bella's voice wavered with emotion, her eyes stinging with unshed tears.
"Smedia outlets have already caught wind of the Larson family's situation. By tomorrow morning, the news will be everywhere. Even if they don't break the story, our police department will release an official statement within the next couple of days. The higher-ups are very concerned about the illegal drug issue, and Aaron has basically walked right into our trap."
