"What about the plane?"

"As long as you get the money smoothly and ensure that no one is following you, you can leave anytime." Christopher smiled, but his eyes shone with a sinister gleam.

"Then hurry up! I've had enough of this damn place!" Maxwell could not adjust to Savrow and had to be in hiding. He had long since reached his limits.

Christopher wiped his foot on the white handkerchief. "You only need to listen to my arrangements. I'll definitely send you on your way."

The next morning, Bella and Justin received a shocking piece of news.

Charles was found dead in the jail's public bath.

Rumors said that his death was eerie and horrifying. His body was stiff when he was found, his face almost purple-black, and he was strangled to death by the stainless-steel shower pipe. The pipe was entangled around his neck, making it seem like he had killed himself.

But how could it be suicide?

How could someone who still wanted to bathe and keep clean suddenly seek death?

Charles' death was a huge scandal. The police had informed the Iverson family to transfer Charles' body to the forensic department for a more detailed investigation.

After Bella and Justin finished listening to Ralph's report over the phone, they did not know how to react for a while.

It was not bad news, since it was a good thing that the monster died, but who was it that wanted him dead so badly?

Even if Charles were alive, he would have to rot in jail for the rest of his life. Who was it that could not even wait for judgment day, wanting to send him to hell immediately?

"The funniest part is that the police contacted the Iverson family, but Lance and James dragged their feet and refused to pick up Charles' body. In the end, they only sent a secretary to clean up the mess. Ha! The second son of the Iverson family actually didn't have anyone to claim his body. It's pretty lamentable," Ralph mocked.

It was not that he bore a sense of sympathy, but he simply felt the Iversons did not deserve to be human.

"Ralph, Charles wouldn't have committed suicide. Someone must have murdered him. No matter what, we need to investigate this matter. I think it could lead to a deeper, darker side, leading us to someone bigger."

Bella and Justin sat on the sofa, and she nestled between the man's legs at this moment, his strong arms wrapped around her waist.

Justin's jaw rested on her neck, his warm breath spraying on her reddened ears, causing her to feel an itch and shrink her neck.

"Mmm... Stop it. I'm talking about serious matters with Ralph."

"I'm also listening seriously." Justin could not hold back, sucking on her neck.

Instantly, a bright hickey appeared on Bella's fair skin.

Her skin was just too fragile and smooth, much like a baby's.

Bella's breathing became erratic, and a soft moan escaped the depths of her throat.

"Hey! You two better pay attention to what you're doing. Don't make me listen to this nonsense!" Ralph was also a young, hot-blooded man who could not handle this.

They were comfortable going at it, but he did not even have a partner. Was that not torture for his body and mind?!

"Ralph, we'll do as Bella says," Justin said over the phone. "The person who murdered Charles is not simple. It might be the breakthrough we need to catch all the parties involved behind this." "Do you think I didn't think of that? It's not that easy."

Ralph's tone turned grim. "The murderer is cunning, choosing to act at the public bath because it is the only place without surveillance cameras in jail. He was vicious and professional, using tools from the scene and leaving no evidence. The water washed his fingerprints and footprints away.

"The murderer might be an inmate, a guard, or even multiple perpetrators. Everyone who had contact with Charles is a suspect, and that's a wide scope. There are just too many factors interfering with the investigation, making it hard to obtain evidence."

Bella raised her hand to hold off Justin's increasingly bold mouth. "Rather than finding the murderer, the more important part is their motive. Charles was about to be sentenced. He couldn't escape from it. Who could have taken such a high risk and come up with a meticulous plan to kill him? What kind of returns were they expecting from the risk?"
