Chapter 1040
After over five hours, the private jet smoothly landed in Savrow.
Upon their arrival at the airport, the medical personnel, arranged in advance by Asher, rushed over, ready to take Justin to the hospital.
“No. I don’t need to go to the hospital,” Justin refused decisively.
“H-How could you do this?!”
Bella was infuriated, and her eyes reddened. “You’re going back on your word! We agreed that you’d go to the hospital for treatment.
You’re such a liar!”
Justin sighed helplessly and approached, embracing Bella tightly. “I’m sorry, Bella. You can hit me or scold me. But please… Don’t ignore
me.”
“I’ll ignore you! You liar! Hmph!” Bella nestled in his arms, refusing
look at him.
Asher and the others could only smile wryly.
It felt like they were witnessing a quarrel between two elementary
school kids, and it could not be more childish.
Seeing that Bella was genuinely upset, Justin paused for a moment. His expression turned serious. “Bella, the most important thing now is to interrogate Winston.”
Upon hearing Winston’s name, Bella’s eyes dimmed.
“Right now, the news of Winston’s return has not reached Shannon

yet. As long as she remains uninformed, she won’t have the opportunity to disrupt our plans or devise any countermeasures. That’s why we must quickly obtain his confession and make him admit, in person, that Shannon hired him to kill Linny.”
“But will he admit to it?”
Bella was distraught, her delicate brows furrowing tightly. “Murder is
a capital offense. He knows there’s no escaping it. Confessing about it won’t benefit him or reduce his sentence. Besides, if he wants to spite us before he dies, he’ll take the blame for Shannon. We’re powerless against Shannon, so it’s as if we’re letting him vent his
anger.”
Upon hearing this, the others present could not help but feel
disheartened at her words!
Bella’s analysis was spot on. Criminals like Winston, who were utterly
wicked and desperate, had no conscience left to speak. There was hope of him coming forward as a witness.
“W-What should we do then? Is there really nothing else we can
against that jerk?” Ryan complained indignantly.
Justin focused intently, contemplating the situation. Suddenly, a smirk appeared on his lips. “Well, in that case, we must ensure that
Shannon is made aware that Winston is currently in our custody.”
Bella, quick-witted as ever, immediately caught on to Justin’s underlying message. She hugged him tightly, her chest pressing against him as she playfully teased, “Wow! You’re so wicked! Where
did you come up with all these schemes? I guess you’re really a jerk,
like I always said!”

Justin found himself moved by this affectionate gesture, his eyes
tinged with emotion and his voice husky as he spoke, “Darling, next time you praise me, you don’t have to be so subtle about it.”
The three other men could not bear witnessing their display of
affection any longer.
Goodness. Are they showing off their relationship or what?!
