The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2259

Asher’s brow furrowed, and Bella’s eyes grew cold. The siblings spoke in unison.

“Her?!”

Ralph nodded gravely. “Two days before Christopher’s death, Clarice conducted a charitable medical check-up for the prisoners at the detention center. Not long after that, Christopher was reported to have died from heart failure. Although there’s no concrete evidence proving it was Clarice’s doing, of the people Christopher came into contact with before his death, she’s the one with both the opportunity and the means to make it happen. Her sudden appearance at the detention center is just too suspicious, isn’t it?”

Bella leaned back against the headboard, her long lashes casting shadows as she lowered her eyes.

“Let’s assume Clarice was responsible. That would mean Grant knew Christopher. He must have sent Clarice to get rid of Christopher, likely fearing that if Christopher stood trial, he would reveal something damning about Grant. So, they silenced him to cover their tracks.”

Bella’s imagination had always been impressive, and her ability to connect the dots was unmatched. Even with just a few scraps of information, she could craft bold and shocking theories.

Asher’s eyes widened. “Grant knew Christopher? But they don’t have any connections.”

Ralph agreed. “After learning that Clarice had interacted with Christopher, I immediately looked into her background. There’s no record of her ever knowing him. Their pasts don’t intersect in any way.”

“But why would she randomly conduct a check-up there? Ralph, you also said it seemed sudden,” Bella pondered.

“It wasn’t just a check-up. She’s become a special consultant to the prison. All the paperwork is done, and the city has already approved it. She officially starts next month.”

Ralph’s brows knitted tightly together. “There’s definitely some uncanny coincidence here. Bella, I wish it were that easy to catch the culprit, but we can’t arrest anyone without solid proof. Theories alone won’t cut it.”

“Still, things aren’t the same as they used to be,” Asher said, his expression dark. “Firstly, Grant has been away from the Salvador family for too long. Justin has gradually taken control of the Salvador Corporation. Justin’s network in Savrow is vast, and he has the support of Chairman Salvador. It won’t be easy for Grant to regain power.

“In the past, Grant had the backing of the Fowler family. But his mother is gone, and the Fowler family has collapsed. He has no external support and has lost the favor of Chairman Salvador. His situation must be incredibly difficult.”

Bella, who was too young to remember the fall of the Fowler family, could not help but ask. “Ash, do you know what happened with the Fowler family?”

Meanwhile, outside the hospital room—

Justin, almost as if guided by an invisible force, stood at the door. He had been standing there silently for nearly half an hour.
