âThat was her final word.â
As Bellaâs words fell, the two men silently lowered their heads.
In the last moments of her life, that poor girl did not think about herself but about how to expose
Shannonâs crimes.
âWell⦠Linnyâs death must be related to the secret she discovered.â Ralph frowned and thought about
it.
âYes. Otherwise, that usually cunning woman wouldnât suddenly lose her composure and take the risk
of sending someone after Linny, trying to silence her.â Bella angrily clenched her fists.
âBut sheâs really bold to target you!â
Thinking about what Bella experienced that night, Ralph was enraged and slammed his fists on the
table. âYou have five badass brothers and a filthy rich and powerful father. How dare she try to kill you!?
âEven without Dadâs intervention, any five of us could kill her with leaving a trace!â
A cold tremor flashed across Justinâs dark eyes. What exactly happened to make Shannon disregard
the consequences and act viciously?
Bellaâs lips twitched, her face as cold as ice. âKilling Linny should be Shannonâs idea. However, sending
someone after me might not necessarily be Shannonâs doing. In my opinion, it could be Bethany acting
in Shannonâs name to take the opportunity to kill me. After al
with Shannonâs careful and cunning personality, she wouldnât act so recklessly without thinking of the
consequences. This looks more like Bethanyâs handiwork.â
That made sense. Justin unconsciously nodded in agreement.
âFuck, isnât Bethany Shannonâs daughter? Damn it. A mother and her daughter are scheming together.
They will reunite in jail!â Ralph cursed, wishing to twist their heads off.
Bella took a deep breath, and her heavy gaze landed on Justin.
She recalled what Linny said. âShannon⦠Killed Mrs. Salvador⦠Proof ⦠Phoneâ¦â
Justin felt stung by her overly intense gaze, feeling confused.
Bella turned on Linnyâs phone and flipped through the photo gallery,/ but found nothing unusual.
Since it was a piece of evidence, it might have been in the form of a recording. Bella opened the voice
recording app.
Sure enough, there was a voice recording. Bellaâs eyelashes hung as she opened the recording.
The quality of the recording was not great, and it sounded a bit muffled, as if Linny secretly recorded it
in a closed environment.
However, it was extremely quiet in the interrogation room. The thre people held their breaths. If a
needle dropped on the floor now, the could probably hear it.
Shannonâs conversation with Bethany was exposed and clearly hear by the trio.
âMom! Youâd better stop meeting with Dr. Fairchild. He must want something from you! As for Maryâs
death, everyone who knew the truth must bring the secret to their graves! As long as heâs alive, heâs a
deadly threat to you!â
Justinâs pupils shrank.
Mary? His mother?!
âNo⦠Itâs been twenty years. The evidence is long gone! Unless that bitch returns from hell to accuse
me, nobody will know what really happened with that bitchâs death!â
Bellaâs heart skipped a beat as anger burned within her chest.
