The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1402

Police cars and ambulances gathered in front of the old residential area. The residents were anxiously watching the events unfold as they heard about the violent break-in.

Ralph was worried and ordered his subordinates to bring the assassin back to the police station first. Meanwhile, he accompanied the ambulance to the hospital to ensure lan and Rachel were taken care of. At the same time, he also called Bella and Justin to inform them of the situation.

In the ambulance, Rachel, who was in shock, wore an oxygen mask. The purplish hue had faded, leaving her with a distressingly pale face.

"Ms. Mead... You must stay alive... Nothing can happen to you."

lan's face was battered and swollen from the fight, but he didn't care about his own injuries. All he cared about was the girl's safety. He held her delicate hand tightly throughout the journey.

"Her vital signs are currently stable, so don't worry too much." Ralph reassured him gently.

It was evident that lan's deep concern for the girl went beyond her role as a witness against Charles.

"How did you appear here out of nowhere?" lan asked, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts.

"Bella thought it was a big deal to have Rachel testify. Since she's still a minor, it's only fair to let her guardian know. So I'm here to not just check on their situation but also speak with Rachel's mother. After all, Bella believes that in her mother's eyes, the police are far more trustworthy than she is."

Ralph couldn't shake off the weight of the consequences of his late arrival. A solemn expression clouded his usually composed demeanor. "I didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation. It seems that some people are becoming impatient."

lan was shocked. Justin had sent him, while Bella sent Ralph. The two of them had not communicated privately, yet their thoughts and actions were surprisingly aligned.

People said that couples would grow to look alike as time passed. Has anyone heard of couples who thought alike?

"Oh, right, this is for you."

lan reached into his grimy trousers and pulled out the butterfly knife, passing it to Ralph. "You forgot to take this."

Seeing lan in so much agony but still thinking of others, Ralph was moved. He took the knife and gripped it firmly in his hand. "I totally forgot... Thanks, lan. I really appreciate it."

"I remember that Ms. Thompson also has one."

"Yes, Bella and I have the same knife. It was a gift from Asher."

Ralph's childhood memories were triggered, and a fond smile appeared in his eyes. "Asher was like the ultimate knife expert to us. He loved playing with different knives and weapons, even more than Drew did. Instead of playing typical games with us like other older siblings, he would experiment with cleverly crafted knives along with me and Bella. Collecting knives was his favorite hobby, and we had over a thousand of them at home."

lan was speechless and felt a chill. Cold sweat dripped from his nose.

In the future, if Justin marries into the family, he should always remember to avoid arguing about small things and never speak out of turn. It would be better to stay cautious. Otherwise, he might not even realize how his actions could lead to trouble.

"Our eldest brother noticed that Bella and I both had a talent for knives, so he not only taught us everything he knew but also gave us each a butterfly knife."

Ralph gazed at the exquisite and fragile knife in his hand, a grin spreading across his face.

"Bella is much better at using it than I am, so I usually keep it hidden and avoid showing it off. Of course, I usually can't bear to use it too, but tonight, things were urgent. If I had fired a gun around here, it would've been much worse, so the knife was my only option. Luckily, I haven't lost my touch too much."

lan's mouth hung half-open, his jaw stiff as if it were dislocated.
