The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 500

"Who is that person?” Julian had a feeling that he knew who it was.

"Isabelle Shelby," the other person answered straightforwardly. "According to our investigation, Mr. Shaw, after Isabelle Shelby married Wayne Lewis, she was forced to entertain guests with her body. On one occasion, she entertained the same guest as Miss Lincoln, who committed suicide. We have reason to believe that she has the power to get her hands on those compromising photos, and she has sufficient motivation to carry out the deed."

Then, he let out a bitter laugh and added," Unfortunately, she is dead, so there is no way she can harm people anymore."

Isabelle Shelby...

It had been a long time since he had last heard this name, and he could not help but narrow his eyes when the name was mentioned again.

Truth be told, this was something he had not expected.

"Okay. Ask your men to pay more attention to this matter. Make sure you don’t miss anything. As for the three people on the list, keep a close eye on them and report back to me if you guys find anything."

After he gave this order, Julian looked through the list again and a strange expression appeared on his face.

His gut feeling was telling him that the three people on the list had nothing to do with the incident. The reason he had asked his men to keep investigating was that he did not wish to miss any clues. What made him the most curious was Isabelle Shelby.

What if Isabelle was still alive...

Julian's brows were furrowed deeply in the center of his forehead. According to the information he had received, it was Joseph who had burned Isabelle to death.

Then, two charred bodies had been found in the rental house. Unfortunately, the bodies had been burned beyond recognition. They had been moved to the mortuary, but since nobody had come to claim them, both of them had been cremated. In the end, their ashes had been scattered or buried at an unknown location when nobody had collected them.

Everything sounded normal. However, none of the steps throughout the process could prove that the burned bodies had indeed belonged to Isabelle and Wayne.

What if Isabelle was still alive?

Was that possible?

To find out, Julian called Joseph once again.

"Vo, cousin. You have been contacting me a little too often lately. Why, have you missed me so much?" Joseph teased him.

Julian rolled his eyes at Joseph and got straight to the point. "Joseph, you are the one who got rid of Isabelle, right?"

"I've gotten rid of plenty of people, so the name doesn't ring a bell. Mind giving me more details?" Joseph asked.

Julian was speechless. Then, he said, "You burned her and her husband to death in Ningcheng City. Do you recall?"

Joseph finally remembered after Julian mentioned the fire in Ningcheng City." Now that you’ve mentioned it. Yeah, I was the one who got rid of her and her husband. Why are you suddenly asking about it?"

"Think back carefully. Considering the situation at the time, is there any chance that she could have survived the fire?” Julian asked.

Joseph thought meticulously for a while before speaking again. "After I set the fire, I left the area because I did not want anybody to know that I had been there before. I asked one of my men to stay behind and watch. Besides, I locked the door from the outside, and my man did not see anybody escape from the house.

Therefore, theoretically, there is no chance that she could have survived the fire."

Theoretically...

"Are you certain that there was only one exit in the house?” Julian asked.

"There were two windows aside from the door, but I asked my man to seal the windows beforehand," Joseph said. "I don't like to leave any loose ends untied when I do something. Since I wanted her dead, I made sure that there was no chance of her escaping whatsoever."

"In other words, she has been confirmed dead? Am I overthinking things?" Julian mumbled.

"Well, unless a miracle has happened, there is no chance she could have survived," Joseph added gleefully.

’Miracle?’

Seeing how confident Joseph was, Julian began to doubt himself.
