The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1422

“Justin, they don’t understand you, but I do.”

Bella sighed, putting her warm palms on the back of his hands. “If it were me, I’d do my best to fulfill my mother’s dying wish too. But I could understand your mother’s thoughts. What she actually wanted was for you to be capable enough to protect yourself, hoping you’d become strong.

“The road you chose was not wrong. Even though you resent your father, Grandpa Nigel has always doted on you, contributing to your achievements today. For Grandpa Nigel, your perseverance and efforts are not without meaning.”

“Bella… Thank you.” Justin held back the lump in his throat, but his voice trembled lightly as he called out to her.

“What are you thanking me for? I just know you too well.” Bella flashed a sweet smile at him.

“Now, Winston is willing to testify as a witness to accuse Shannon of hiring hitmen, taking drugs, and hiding drugs. Her sentence won’t be light.”

Axel’s brows furrowed. “But I know it’s far from enough. We wanted Shannon to get a death sentence. After all, she has more lives on her hands!”

“It’s hard.”

Ralph frowned and shook his head, his expression heavy. “We don’t have evidence of her instigating murder. Moreover, Linny’s recordings were obtained illegally, so we can’t present them in court. Another point is that Justin’s mother’s case was over twenty years ago. Even if we have that maid’s testimony, it’s still not enough. Besides, Shannon’s defense attorney is Hunter. Who knows what sort of dirty tricks that bastard would use to deal with us?”

Steven’s face paled, and he took a deep breath. “This time, I will stand in court as Linny’s defense attorney.”

Ralph and Axel were stunned. “Steven, you want to go to court?!”

On the other hand, Bella and Justin remained calm, even casting confident glances at him.

A few days ago, Steven had already informed them of his plan and received their support.

He had been a secretary for the Thompson family for many years, and many people, including his brother, had forgotten that Steven was a top student from the best law school in Savrow.
