"What... What?! That monster is out of prison?!"

Bella suddenly broke free from Justin's arms. Wilma, who was making dessert in the kitchen, almost had a heart attack from Bella's loud roar.

Justin's handsome face turned serious. He was standing near her and caught every word Ralph said through the phone.

"That's impossible... Christopher must have been absolutely relentless. He would have acted without giving anyone a chance to survive. How could Charles be bailed out? Is there something wrong with the evidence?" Bella's voice calmed down quickly, but her shoulders were shaking with rage.

Justin stood up in silence and wrapped his warm hands around her waist, silently comforting her with his actions.

"The evidence was originally conclusive. If the evidence was insufficient, the police would not issue an arrest warrant for Charles."

Ralph's hoarse voice sounded really bitter and unwilling. "But who would have thought that the girls who had promised to stand up and testify against Charles would completely switch sides? It's like they had been secretly bribed!"

"They claimed that they were not raped by Charles and willingly engaged with that monster, even those two underage girls!"

"Willingly? How is that possible?! If that were true, why didn't they say so in the first place?!"

Bella anxiously said, "Ralph! There must be something fishy going on here. You must investigate it properly!"

"Of course there is a problem here, and all of us know it. I even sent several female police officers with ample negotiation experience to communicate with the victims, but it was of no use. They still decided not to testify." Ralph groaned helplessly.

"Mr. Salvador! Young Madam! The news has been released!" lan shook his phone anxiously.

"Play it." Justin ordered in a deep voice.

lan clicked on the video. The phone screen showed the scene in front of the police station, and James was answering the reporter's question.

"Damn it... This bastard deserves to rot in hell!" lan gritted his teeth at James' hypocrisy so much that his gums hurt. "I think his position as president is just to clean up the shit the Iverson family created." Bella and Justin stared at the screen intently, holding each other's hands tightly.

James stood before the reporters, visibly angry. "It's clear to everyone that my brother has been wrongly accused. If he were truly guilty, we wouldn't have been able to post bail for him. Someone maliciously used this situation to tarnish his name and set him up. I'll get to the bottom of this, and I won't let my brother's suffering be for nothing!"

"Get to the bottom of this? I think it's all bullshit!" lan gritted his teeth and complained.

"He has to say that. The stage has been set up, and of course there is a need for a show." Bella's teeth were clenched, and her fingernails were embedded in the flesh of the back of Justin's hand without her realizing it.

Although it hurt slightly, Justin ignored it.

At this moment, the emotions filling his chest were all about his heartache for her. Justin wanted to give Bella a peaceful life, but often, reality would hit him hard in the face not long after he stabilized the situation.

"Mr. Iverson, two of the girls that Mr. Charles has assaulted are minors." The reporter still refused to give up, and his tone was full of resentment. "Even if they didn't testify against Mr. Charles, he was still soliciting a minor, which is extremely inappropriate and immoral behavior! He should be punished!"

"Those two girls dressed up seductively and looked mature. They deliberately concealed their age to get close to my brother. As a result, my brother almost faced jail time after being seduced. Who is the unethical one here?"

James sneered. "Besides, my brother didn't even know that they were underage before. Otherwise, how could he do such a self-destructive thing? Our family is prestigious, with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars. As I understand it, some girls with impure intentions use these tactics to get into the upper class. Shouldn't their guardians be responsible for these underage girls? Why should we pay for their faults?"

"Damn it! James is changing the topic and diverting attention!" Bella's eyes were so filled with hatred that they were red.

Another reporter asked, "Mr. James, Mr. Charles had obvious signs of drug abuse. Do you have anything to say about this matter?"

"My brother is not a drug addict, but he did take some illegal drugs."

As he said that, James put on a rather depressed expression again. "My brother had a serious car accident before and almost became paralyzed. He was in unbearable pain due to his legs, so he had to take some powerful drugs to control the pain.

"As you know, it was fortunate that Ms. Bella Thompson, the eldest daughter of the Thompson family, came to his aid and performed an amputation surgery on him, saving his right leg and allowing him to barely maintain a normal life. For this, our entire family is very grateful to Ms. Thompson. Without her, my brother would have been half dead."

Everyone was in an uproar and talking about this new piece of information.

Bella was also a surgeon. Although this was amazing, it was not the most important thing. The most shocking thing was that Bella actually performed surgery for Charles!

As the daughter of the richest man, she definitely had no worries about fame and fortune. She could not be coerced by anyone into doing anything against her will. Therefore, she must have performed the operation for Charles voluntarily.

Was Bella's glorious image created for the outside world to see? Was she actually a materialistic person?
