Chapter 760
“Bella, you’re incredible!” Ralph exclaimed.
In the cafe within the KS World Hotel, Ralph was sitting in a corner with Bella. He laid out several photos in front of her. “Just as you
suspected, that thug had a secret room in his house, filled with photos of Shannon.”
“It’s clear that he’s not just a casual fan of Aunt Celeste, as he claimed. I think his obsession with her has taken a twist.”
Bella pressed her crimson lips together and spoke in a hushed tone. Ralph, have you uncovered any other significant clues?”
Ralph hesitated briefly before pulling out a plastic bag from his pocket. Inside the bag was a necklace made of white gold and adorned with diamonds. The design appeared outdated, and the quality seemed less than stellar. “I found this in his house. It was carefully stored in a box, so it must be important to him.”
Bella had an excellent memory and never forgot anything she s

Bella smirked. “I can’t handle it. I have a bad temper and might just

take matters into my own hands with the suspect.”
Ralph remained silent and listened to Bella.
“It seems that Shannon has a close relationship with this man. If she’s giving him her signature necklace, do you think there’s something suspicious going on between them?” Bella’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
“Even if there is, it’s all in the past. This only suggests that they knew each other, but it’s not evidence that Shannon conspired with this man to harm Aunt Celeste,” Ralph said solemnly.
“I understand. But with the current evidence, it’s enough to put
Shannon in a tight spot,” Bella replied.
She picked up the necklace and examined it under the light. Her eyes
shimmered with determination.
“Ralph, you’ve interrogated him, but he won’t talk. If he’s truly working for Shannon, there won’t be any suspicious transaction records
between them. We can’t solidify the charges of her attempted
murder.”
Bella continued. “So, what I need to do now is leverage this
information to gather more evidence and strike Shannon where it
hurts the most.”
Ralph widened his eyes in anticipation. “Bella, what do you have
mind?”
Bella leaned back. Her slender figure radiated both grace and authority as she tapped her fingertips slowly on the table.
“I’m going to pay a visit to Tideview Manor and have a chat with
Shannon.”

After parting ways with Ralph, Bella received a call from her older
sister, Camilla.
Camilla informed Bella that she would be flying back to Sentania the
next morning. With that, Bella and Steven immediately hurried back to
Yara Park.
Mila held Camilla’s hand in the living room. Both mother and daughter
were on the verge of tears as they spoke intimately.
“Mom, you’re being dramatic,” Camilla said cheerfully, though her
eyes were red. “Sentania isn’t that far. We’re still on the same
continent! You can visit me anytime.”
“The last time I visited, I stayed for three days, but I didn’t even get to All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
see you once! You’re always busy with your husband.” Mila tightly
gripped her daughter’s hand, her voice choked with emotion. “I deeply regret it. You’ve become so estranged after marriage!”
“I’m sorry, Mom. Edward had a sudden work arrangement, and a wife, I had to accompany him.” Camilla admitted her fault, feeling guilty and uneasy.
“Camilla!” Bella rushed in, her eyes brimming with reluctance. “Cal you stay a little longer? I barely got to spend any quality time with
you!”
“There’s plenty of time in the future, Bella,” Camilla reassured her, getting up quickly. The sisters held hands. “After the election, I’ll bring your brother-in-law back to Hatchbay. We’ll stay for a few more days
and have a joyful reunion.”
