Chapter 1157
“Then she heard the room suddenly go silent, and then I saw it with my own eyes…”
Justin couldn’t continue speaking. His chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably. Bella could feel the cold sweat on his palms.
Justin could vividly recall the tragic scene of his mother falling from
the building in front of him.
It was the first time he realized that when a person fell from a height and crashed into the ground, the sound they made was so muffled and heavy. He could even distinctly hear the brittle sound of bones
shattering.
Justin only had a glimpse of the scene, but the pain and trauma from that glance would haunt him for a lifetime, almost crushing him time and time again.
“Don’t say it anymore, Justin. Please don’t continue…”
Bella embraced him as tightly as possible, wishing that she could
take away his pain. Although Justin hadn’t cried yet, she couldn’t help
but shed tears, soaking his white shirt.
“It’s okay. Although my heart is filled with hatred, it hasn’t clouded my judgment, nor has it caused me to collapse.”
Justin’s eyes cleared up, becoming gentle. His rough fingertips wiped away the tears on Bella’s cheeks. “The main reason is because you’re
by my side. Bella, you don’t know how important you are to me.

You’ve given me immense courage, which prevented me from sinking
into despair.”
At this moment, Axel and Ralph finally understood what Asher meant
by Bella being Justin’s lifeline.
When the emotions of the young couple had calmed down a bit,
Ralph frowned and asked, “The maid heard the argument in the room
disappear, and then you heard the sound of Mrs. Salvador falling
from the building, almost simultaneously. Can this indirectly prove
that Mrs. Salvador’s fall is related to Shannon? After all, the only one
present at the time was Shannon.”
“You just said that Mrs. Salvador’s relationship with Chairman
Salvador had improved at that time, and she showed unusual anger
when she discovered that Shannon had switched her medication.
None of this seems like behavior indicating suicidal intentions.”
Axel also joined in the analysis. “Although there’s no concrete
evidence, perhaps the truth is as we suspected. It was likely that
Shannon pushed Mrs. Salvador down.”
“The maid said that after my mother fell, Shannon hurriedly ran the room, coincidentally colliding into the maid who had been
Salvador family forever. The maid said it wasn’t about the money but
because she was afraid of Shannon taking revenge, so she chose to
take the money and remain silent.” Justin held Bella in his arms,
gently comforting her.
Ralph reminded him sternly. “This is a crucial witness. You must
protect her.”

Axel’s eyes blazed with fury. “At present, we need to establish the charge of Shannon’s drug abuse and keep her detained without release. Then, we must quickly gather evidence to prosecute Shannon
for intentional murder!”
It was only now that Bella understood why Justin didn’t arrest Shannon on charges of inciting murder or other crimes.
