The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2130

Bella avoided Sasha and Elias, continuing her call with Justin under a tree.

“Every crime leaves evidence. Ralph is an expert in solving cases, so given time, if a special task force is set up to investigate Owen, they will definitely find some trace of Christopher’s involvement.”

“I’m afraid it’s not that easy, Bella.” Justin’s breath was heavy. “Ralph said he checked Owen’s bank account and call records, but Owen didn’t have any unusual income over the years, not even foreign-sourced income.

“Although there were a few suspicious, unknown numbers from his call records, they were all made from different phones and unregistered. We’re unable to identify the callers. Owen himself is a policeman. If he committed crimes, he would be more professional than a criminal, with strong anti-surveillance skills.”

“It’s indeed tough if there’s no transaction records.” Bella’s hand clasped behind her back, pacing back and forth. “It means that he was not tied to Christopher because of profits. Everything he did was for the success of the new drug’s development, to save his wife. That’s why he worked for Christopher without hesitation. His conviction is too strong.”

Justin gritted his teeth. “If that’s the case, it would be an impossible mission to make him betray Christopher.”

Bella narrowed her eyes. “Perhaps not entirely impossible.”

“Bella, do you have a plan?”

“I don’t have any plans. I could only gamble once more.”

“Gamble on what?”

Bella’s clear eyes flashed with a sharp light. “Human nature.”

The other end of the phone went silent.

After a while, Justin took a deep breath and saw through her thoughts. “You’re gambling on Christopher’s nature to be despicable to the extreme, making Owen lose trust in him completely?”

“Yes.” A warm feeling surged in Bella’s chest. She loved how it felt to have a tacit understanding with the man she loved. “Given the firm cooperative relationship between them combined with Owen’s strong desire for the new drug, Owen wouldn’t betray Christopher even if he died.

“Unless, we completely destroy Christopher’s image in his mind. Unless he sees that the person he always trusted to save his wife was a selfish demon. Besides, with Owen captured right now, no one would be caring for his wife. It’s highly likely that Christopher would try to control his wife and threaten him.”

“Bella, you’re really perceptive. I was too shallow in my thinking, but you’re always several steps ahead of me.”

Justin never hesitated to praise his wife. “But in fact, even if Christopher did nothing, he can probably get through this unscathed.”

“Ha, trusting Christopher not to play dirty? I’d rather believe that pigs can fly!” Bella’s gaze was cold as she sneered, “A man as despicable and shameless as Christopher does not deserve a capable subordinate like Deputy Chief Hopkins. The reason he’s been able to commit such evil for so long is because he had leverage over many people, using them and reaping the benefits. He thought he had the whole world in control but neglected something.”

Justin immediately responded, “Cornering a desperate man might backfire on him.”

“Smart!” Bella blew a kiss on the phone.

“Darling, where are you?” The man’s voice sounded restrained, but it was still extremely hoarse. “It’s been a few days. Reward me tonight, okay?”
