The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2403

“Ralph, spill it!” Bella shot up from her chair, her emotions on edge.

“Well, Dr. Wagner has much of a dark background and his income is not exactly normal,” Ralph replied.

Bella raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“I looked into Dr. Wagner’s assets and income sources. While he earns a high salary, his finances are a mess. His son’s gambling addiction and his wife’s serious illness have drained most of the family’s wealth. Other than a house and a car, their assets have been nearly wiped out by his son.”

He continued, “But two days ago, he scheduled a bone marrow transplant for his wife and paid off her hospitalization fees, all at once, totaling over $500,000. On top of that, his son owed over $3,000,000 in high-interest loans, and Dr. Wagner managed to pay that off too.”

Bella had her phone on speaker. Steven, listening nearby, shook his head in frustration and exclaimed, “That son of his is such a disgrace! He’s beyond saving. Let’s just hope karma gets him in his next life!”

Ralph continued, “Given Dr. Wagner’s current financial situation, there’s no way he could afford all that on his own. It raises a huge question mark.”

Bella’s bright eyes glinted coldly. “There’s no question about it. Grant must have stepped in and offered Dr. Wagner a financial lifeline in exchange for a testament against Justin.”

Bella added, her voice icy. “He’s been given so much money. Of course, he’d do whatever is asked of him.”

Steven frowned, a hint of unease creeping into his voice. “Ms. Bella, if we try to go through the legal way, it’ll be hard to pin Dr. Wagner down. Even though he took Grant’s dirty money, it could technically be classified as a gift, not a bribe. Without direct evidence of a mutual benefit, it’s not illegal.”

Ralph agreed. “That’s right, Bella. His income may be suspicious, but he hasn’t abused his position. Legally, there’s nothing we can do.”

“That’s true.” Bella nodded slightly, narrowing her eyes. “But who said I’m going to deal with him legally? He’s a villain, so why should I play fair? That would make me a fool.”

She smirked. “Besides, I never claimed to be a noble knight. I’m just a little lady, and I’ll fight fire with fire.”

Steven gasped in surprise and gave the young lady an approving thumbs-up.

Ralph coughed awkwardly. “Uh, what did you just say? The signal isn’t good here.”
