The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1413

Opposite the back alleyway of the police station, Justin held Bella in his arms. They had been waiting in the car for a long time.

“I just received word from Ralph. He said that his close colleague has been keeping an eye on the case for the past two days. Apart from Charles’ attorney, no one in his family came to bail him out.”

Bella sank into Justin’s embrace, her forehead soaking in sweat.

She was on Day 2 of her menstrual cycle, and Justin told her to rest at home, but he was not the boss of her.

Feeling the throbbing pain in her belly, she squirmed in his arm like a loach.

Well, she should have taken Justin’s advice to lay off the salt and sugar.

“James planned this. He would want to disappear now. Why would he stick up to defend a hopeless bastard? He’d be making himself a target.”

Justin wrapped his arm around her shoulders, his warm palm pressing against her belly and rubbing clockwise.

“Hm… Harder… Yes. Harder.”

Justin swallowed hard. The sensation of the woman’s soft belly traveled from his fingertips to his body, stirring a raspiness in his voice. “Well, I told you to cut down on junk food. I’ll get Ian to get a drink for you.”

“It’s okay. Ian is busy with Rachel. Don’t trouble him for every little thing. He’s your secretary, not your slave.” Bella felt bad for Ian.

Justin smiled wryly.

“No news about James or Lance. I guess they are abandoning Charles.”

As they entered the cars safely, Bella held her breath in case anything went wrong.

Ian held Rachel in his arms and walked in the back.

One male journalist charged forward and pushed the microphone into her face. He asked aloud, “Were you here to give a statement and identify Charles? Did KS Group or Salvador Corporation pressure you?”

Ian stood in front of Rachel like a protective barrier and snapped back, “What are you trying to say?”

“You are Mr. Salvador’s secretary, right? I recognize you.”

The male journalist got in Ian’s face. “You and Bella Thompson’s secretary have been by the victims’ side. Mr. Salvador and Ms. Thompson orchestrated the plan to point fingers at Charles, am I right? The Thompsons and the Iversons are long-time friends. Ms. Thompson is close with Charles. She even operated on him. With the nature of her relationship with Charles out in the open, she’s eager to dissociate herself from him. She is possibly trying to make herself look good by helping the victims. It’s only logical to think the timing is suspicious.”
