The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2063

Feeling chills down his spine, Taylor said nothing.

“I told you to keep tabs on Owen because I believed he must be in touch with someone.”

Christopher smiled brutally. “Ha. What did I say again? We can only trust dead men.”

“You’re awful, Mr. Iverson.” Taylor looked surprised and impressed. “But what made you suspect Owen?”

“He checked the drug development with me out of the blue. I thought it was weird. He would never ask questions before.”

Christopher turned around and strolled to the desk before pulling out a photo from the pile, his icy gaze falling on the photo.

The photo showed Justin and Owen meeting in a cafe. Justin handed a lighter to Owen.

Christopher, his eyes red-rimmed, crumpled the photo in his grasp.

“Are you planning to...” Taylor probed cautiously, “With all due respect, Owen is useful to you. He did all the dirty work, but the police didn’t catch on to him even once. Though he isn’t in a high position in Savrow, he has the power to disrupt the police’s investigation and take care of your problems.

“Even if Justin met with him, we don’t know the nature of their conversation. For all we know, Justin could be leading us to believe Owen has betrayed you. I doubt Owen has the guts to betray you. We have dirt on his little killing spree, and the life of his wife is in our hands. I bet he won’t do anything hasty.”

“I don’t need him anymore.” Christopher’s voice was flat.

“W-What did you say?”

“I got a call from the Boss last night.”

Christopher curled his pale lips, his eyes sparkling with joy. “He told me that we made good progress with the drug experiment in Meridan. We can stop the experiment in Savrow. Since the experiment is suspended, I don’t need Owen to clean up behind me. I have not intended to keep him around right from the start.”

Taylor’s breath hitched as terror struck him.

“He knows too many of our secrets. His past contributions and loyalty don’t change the fact that I can’t let him live.”
