The other three were stunned. Their jaws dropped.
Bella grabbed Justin's hand. âJustin, it's been twenty years. Where did you get the evidence from?â
Justin clasped her hand and spoke with a low, hoarse voice. â
Remember when | told you that | was going to track down the maid who once served my mother?â
Bella nodded obediently.
âPerhaps people have a premonition before disaster strikes. Before Shannon had her accident, that maid tried to flee the country.
lan sent someone to catch her in time, and then | used a little persuasion.â
Justin took a deep breath and continued, âIn order to save her son, she revealed some truths in her panic. It was even beyond
what Shannon confessed in that recording.â
He was fundamentally kind-hearted. If not for being pushed to extremes, how could he have used a childâs life as a bargaining

Bella believed that even if the maid remained stubborn to the end, Justin wouldn't harm the maidâs son.
It was beyond him. If he did, how would he differ from people like Christopher?
âShannon murdered my mother. Shannon poisoned my mother with her own hands.â Justinâs eyes were bloodshot, and he tried
his best to restrain the surging hatred in his heart. His hand, which was held

tightly by Bella, felt like solid ice.
âPoisoned with her own hands...â Axel and Ralph were shocked, their cheeks stiffening. lanâs body staggered as if struck hard by
a heavy blow.
Bella felt like she couldn't breathe. It was as if her chest was crushed by a giant stone. If it were anyone else, they would have
gone insane, but Justin didnât lose his mind. The more composed he appeared, the more her heart ached.
Ralph asked urgently. âMr. Salvador, what exactly happened?â
âThe maid confessed. She followed Shannonâs orders to switch out my motherâs antidepressants, but she only replaced them
with ordinary supplements that wouldnât be lethal. However, perhaps Shannon sensed a thaw in the relationship between my
mother and Gregory during that period. Afraid of trouble, Shannon switched the supplements with a small dose of poison. Over
time, the poison would accumulate, causing cardiac paralysis and sudden death.â
Justinâs broad shoulders trembled subtly. Each word he uttered f chilly and infused with deep-seated hatred.
Bellaâs eyes welled up with tears, her palm lightly caressing his back
âHow did the maid know such intricate details?â Axel asked eagerly for information, possessed by his instincts as a prosecutor.
âShe saw it.â Justin tightly grasped Bellaâs hand, as if only by touching her so directly could he maintain his composure. âShe
said that two days before my motherâs suicide, she noticed that every time she replaced my motherâs medication, Shannon
would sneak in while she wasnât looking and switch the medicine. But she never mentioned it
to her or dared to ask a single question.â
âThatâs because if Mrs. Salvador had died of cardiac arrest, the maid
responsible for Mrs. Salvadorâs care would have been taken away for
investigation.â
Bellaâs mind raced, calmly analyzing, âBy then, no matter what the
maid said, it would be futile because the medicine was under her
care. Since she switched it, she would bear all the blame alone. She
had already thought of this at the time. But she was already trapped, with no way out, so she had to walk that path to the end.â
Justin paused, his handsome face growing paler. âBut on the day of
the incident, there was an unexpected turn of events. That is, my
mother, who originally went to the garden for a walk, found that she
had forgotten her camera, so she turned back to the room...â
âAnd then she happened to see...

Bellaâs heart sank heavily.
Justin lowered his gaze and nodded. âYes. The maid had been hiding
outside the room, eavesdropping on the situation inside. Bece of
her close relationship with Shannon, her nerves were on ed
that period. She couldn't have a single night of peaceful sleep.
Ralph gritted his teeth fiercely. âHmph! Let her make up for the
