The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2133

They could not get through to Owen, and the higher-ups have been putting pressure on the chief.

Therefore, when they heard that Bella wanted to try negotiating with Owen, although it was not in line with the procedure, and Bella was also not a negotiation expert, solving the case was more important than anything. So, the chief made an exception, letting her meet and talk to Owen.

Outside the one-way glass window of the interrogation room, Justin and Ralph looked at Bella, who was inside confronting the suspect. Both men had heavy and worried expressions.

In the interrogation room, Owen’s gaze was dark and inscrutable as he emotionlessly stared at the beautiful woman before him.

“Ms. Bella, at this point, I’ve admitted everything I should. I think there’s nothing left for us to talk about.”

“Deputy Chief Hopkins.”

“Please change the way you address me. I’m only a suspect who kills without blinking.” Owen smiled self-deprecatingly.

But even when reduced to a prisoner, he still sat upright, his demeanor unshaken. Decades of navigating the political scene and the air of authority built from holding a high position could not be stripped away in a day.

“Okay, then I’ll call you Mr. Hopkins.”

Bella’s eyes were gentle, and she said politely. “I know you’ve come to this point today not because you’re evil, but because you were forced to.”

“You’re wrong. Every step I’ve taken in my life was my own choice.” Owen tugged at his lips, “Ms. Bella, I’m willing to meet you and sit here, listening to your pointless nonsense because you saved my wife. I’ve already confessed to my crimes. I won’t say a word about anything else. Please leave.”

Outside the window, Justin clenched his jaw, secretly curling his fists into a ball.

“Justin, don’t be nervous. Bella must have a plan.” Ralph noticed his nerves and patted his shoulders reassuringly.

Bella steadied herself and placed a report she prepared before Owen.

“What’s this?” The man lowered his eyes.

“The analysis report of the drug you see as your last hope from a reputable institution.” Bella looked at him nonchalantly.

Owen’s pupils contracted, a crack appearing on his cold expression.

“The reason you’re protecting the man behind you, even at the cost of committing crimes for him, was to save your wife, who has Alzheimer's. But you never considered that this new drug development was a ridiculous scam from the start.”

Bella’s voice was calm, but the light that shone beneath her eyes was as cold as blades, seemingly piercing through the man’s trembling soul!

“What did you say? What scam?” Owen clenched his jaw.

“The report clearly stated that the so-called new drug is merely a type of neuroleptic.” Bella’s voice deepened. “It does not have any treatment effect toward Alzheimer’s, and it causes other side effects, even carrying the risk of poisoning if overdosing. This was also why many people collapsed and convulsed, eventually dying after consuming the drug.

“If there’s any difference between the new drug and neuroleptics, it’s that it has a more complicated composition, and even it contains three types of strictly prohibited substances in our country due to their highly addictive potential. Rather than saying it’s a medicine, it’s more accurate to call it a narcotic.”
