The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1339

Bella lowered her gaze, remaining silent.

Sensing her sadness, Justin took her hand and gently caressed it. "Bella, I understand you're concerned about Carrie. But look, Carrie now has Ryan, who loves, adores, and pampers her. With his strong background and capabilities, he's well equipped to look after her."

"Yeah, I know. I'm actually very grateful for Ryan."

Bella's gratitude was not just because Ryan was willing to accept Carrie. Rather, she appreciated that he could see beyond the surface and recognize the pure beauty of this girl like an uncut gem. Ryan was willing to be patient and stay by Carrie's side.

After a while, Ryan returned, his dark circles seemingly deeper.

"Ryan, you've worked hard." Justin sighed deeply.

"She's my wife. I'm willing to do everything. There's nothing hard about it."

Ryan did not blame Yasmin. Instead, he continued the conversation, "Where were we? Right! I was just thinking. Maxwell is a fugitive. He's powerless and has no influence here. How could he manage to hire so many people to work for him? Could it be Christopher's doing? Are his men secretly protecting Maxwell?"

Bella and Justin thought of this possibility, too.

After all, Maxwell was Winston's superior and had participated in the South Island attack. For them, he was a key witness who could deliver a devastating blow to Christopher. So naturally, Christopher would not let such significant leverage fall into their hands. Would that not be like placing his own head on the muzzle of a gun?

"Maxwell has appeared, which means he's still alive and in Savrow. As long as he's in Savrow, he won't be able to escape. It's only a matter of time before we get him."

Justin's eyes were dark, like the depths of an abyss, and his restrained hatred made his voice hoarse. "Nothing is more important than human lives. I can't bear to see another innocent person sacrificed because of scum like Christopher and Maxwell. It's just not worth it."

Ryan felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

His best friend, who appeared cold and indifferent on the surface, actually had a heart warmer than anyone else.

"Um... I have a question." Ian suddenly raised his hand to speak.

"What?" The three of them asked in unison.

"I've always been puzzled about why Christopher would go to such lengths to protect Maxwell. He's not in Sentania now. He's on his own turf. If I were him, wouldn't it be more convenient just to eliminate the threat?"

"Maxwell isn't alone. He came from a military background, and his men were all mercenaries, capable of taking on ten opponents each. Besides, the Hoffman Group and the Salvador Corporation's people have constantly searched for them, with tight controls at customs, railways, and ports. If Christopher really picks a fight with Maxwell's men, such a big commotion would definitely attract our attention. That would expose him instead."

Yasmin insightfully noted, "Plus, Maxwell's group consists of thugs. In a head-on fight, Christopher might not gain any advantage."

lan was still unconvinced. "That Christopher jerk is cunning and full of tricks. Can't he think of some way to quietly eliminate Maxwell? As long as that man is alive, he's like a ticking time bomb to him." His casual remark struck Bella like a revelation. Her mind raced, connecting all the dots in an instant.

"Shit! Christopher is about to make a move on Maxwell!"
