Chapter 1047
Bella’s heart raced, and she pressed her lips together. “That seems unlikely. I’ve looked into Maxwell’s background. He used to be a mercenary and then worked as a royal guard before climbing to his
current position with his outstanding combat skills. It wouldn’t be so
easy to kill him. Besides, he wouldn’t have come to Savrow alone. He
must have brought reinforcements. Even if Christopher wants to
make a move, it won’t be so simple.”
Although Bella said so, Justin’s words still left her feeling uneasy.
Justin could see through her thoughts and gently held her hand, reassuring her with a calm voice, “The enemies aren’t that powerful.

resilience and evident malevolence.
Whether employing intimidation tactics or offering reduced
sentences as incentives, they were unable to coax Winston into
revealing the identity of the mastermind behind it all.
As the stalemate continued, Bella and Justin hurried to the police
station overnight.
“Bella, I’m sorry…”
Ralph tugged at his hair in frustration, his handsome face marred
