The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1340

"Bella, what have you figured out?" Justin asked urgently.

Ryan and Yasmin also focused intently on her as her face turned pale.

"Mr. Harris made a good point. Considering Christopher's sinister nature, he could easily eliminate Maxwell without leaving any trace. Besides, he has already been plotting his scheme. It's just that the crucial tool for the crime has only just arrived."

While Ryan and the others still looked confused, only Justin quickly grasped her meaning.

"Are you talking about the private jet as the tool for the crime?"

Bella affirmed with a firm nod, her expression grave and urgent. "It would've been hard for Christopher to do something on the ground, but it'll be much easier to do it in the air! Moreover, once the plane leaves the country, even if we have connections everywhere, we won't be able to intercept him. He'll be able to do whatever he wants!"

It was a cunning yet brilliant move.

"Bella! You're so smart! You're like a goddess!" Ryan exclaimed, his mouth agape in awe, clapping, nearly ready to prostrate in admiration.

"Enough with the flattery. We need to think of a strategy quickly." Bella felt overwhelmed, as if a heavy stone weighed on her chest.

"lan, from now on, increase our personnel and keep a close watch on every move of Christopher's plane. We must intercept him immediately." Justin radiated a grim and stern vibe. "Yes, Mr. Salvador."

Once upon a time, Justin was an unstoppable titan in the business world.

However, in Bella's presence, whether as her strategist or as a general leading a charge for her, he was always ready to serve her.

"What do we do if we can't stop the plane before it takes off? Are we supposed to shoot it down with a cannon?" Ryan asked seriously, posing a question that sounded quite absurd.

"Maxwell is a fugitive wanted by two countries. I'll inform Declan and Ralph about it to coordinate the military and police forces."

Bella's red lips curled into a slight smile. Her eyes were confident and calm. "Even if he takes off into the sky, I have ways to bring him down!"

The expression on the three men's faces spelled out their awe.

Following the incarcerations of Astrid and the arrest of Charles, James found himself in the dire straits Justin had foreseen, treading on thin ice.

Moreover, Christopher leveraged the considerable fortune he had built over the years in Sentania to stabilize the Iverson Group's stocks. This act significantly boosted his standing with Lance, leading to the emergence of a "Christopher Party" within the company.

A growing number of executives and shareholders began to show a tendency to switch their allegiances to Christopher.

Each day was more challenging than the last for James, but he had not given up. Despite the challenges, he refused to let that bastard get the best of him.

Therefore, James concocted a plan to reduce Charles' sentence as much as possible.

James knew their father favored Charles. Not only because he had spent the most time by his side, but also because the boy had always been good at playing the cute and charming son, excelling at flattering and amusing their father. Thus, the news of Charles' arrest was a tremendous blow to Lance, causing him deep distress.

So, James approached his father, reassuring him gently, "Don't worry, Dad. Rape isn't a major crime. We can use some of our connections to get Charles a reduced sentence. He'll get out of there in three to four years."

"Three to four years? Do you think I'm clueless about the law?!"

Although Lance was embarrassed and disgraced by Charles' public exposure, the culprit was still his most beloved son, leading to many sleepless nights and visibly graying hair. "Among the women he assaulted, there were even minors! He'll be in jail for at least ten years for raping minors! He could have any woman he wanted. Why the hell did he target young girls? What a foolish mistake!" James fell silent momentarily, then said solemnly, "You're right, Dad. We are one of the top four families in Savrow. Are those women who got close to Charles really all innocent?" Lance frowned. "James, what are you implying?"

"Some of those girls are Charles' ex-girlfriends, some are women paid to accompany him, and others offered themselves willingly, hoping to climb the social ladder and become a wealthy lady. The police only have partial evidence, but if no credible witnesses come forward or if those so-called witnesses are unreliable, then there won't be enough evidence to convict him at trial. Charles wouldn't have to serve a long sentence then."

James' insinuations were clear, and the seasoned Lance understood everything.

Lance was satisfied with his eldest son's arrangement, reaffirming his trust in his son with an appreciative look.

"It's all on you now, James. Proceed with the plan!"
