Chapter 1066
Ian's voice was so loud that Bella could hear him even through Justin’s phone.
“Dr. Fairchild, I’m busy with something at the moment. I’1] get back to you later."
Bella hung up ina hurry and stared at Justin with bright eyes.
Justin curled his lips and stroked her hair. “What changed his mind?"
“winston was attacked by his cellmate last night. His cellmate drove a toothbrush into his neck, but he was able to resist him until the patrolling guards arrived, so he managed to survive the attack."
Justin and Bella exchanged lingering looks. “How is he doing now?"
Ian sneered, “He was transported out of prison to receive urgent medical care. He clamored to see you and the young madam when he got up. I guess he’s ready to talk now. His life was threatened just days into his jail sentence. How is he supposed to survive the next two decades? He must be hoping that you will help him."
Overjoyed , Bella got on her tiptoes , wrapped her arms around Justin, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
As his eyes darkened with yearning, Justin hooked his right arm around her, lifting her up by her perky butt. His show of strength was so boyfriend-material.
His free hand slipped behind her head, and they shared a kiss.
His eyes reflected her bashful face.
"I got to give it to you. You figured out your wicked stepmother’s plan."
Bella prodded her nose against Justin’s and praised him.
"I could have only figured it out with your help, Bella. Without you, I’m nothing."
Justin pecked her lips. “Shannon fell for it because you used the internet to bash her. She needed to silence her enemy before the truth came out. I didn’t expect Shannon to work so quickly, though. Gregory kept her at home, basically grounding her. Even though Harry and Winston are caught, she manages to find someone to do her dirty work.
I guess she must have a lot of people working for her."
Bella narrowed her eyes. “Don’t worry about your sister, Bethany. She beats your stepmother when it comes to ruthlessness."
"I only have one sister, and that’s Carrie."
Justin spoke in a raspy voice, his eyes fixating on his prey. His assertiveness made her heart race. “You, on the other hand, have a lot of guy friends."
“who? Dr. Fairchild ?” She curled her lips cheekily . “Are you jealous ?
