Bella lowered her gaze, remaining silent.
Sensing her sadness, Justin took her hand and gently caressed it. “Bella, I understand you’re concerned about Carrie. But look, Carrie now has Ryan, who loves, adores, and pampers her. With his strong background and capabilities, he’s well equipped to look after her.”
“Yeah, I know. I’m actually very grateful for Ryan.”
Bella’s gratitude was not just because Ryan was willing to accept Carrie. Rather, she appreciated that he could see beyond the surface and recognize the pure beauty of this girl like an uncut gem. Ryan was willing to be patient and stay by Carrie’s side.
After a while, Ryan returned, his dark circles seemingly deeper.
“Ryan, you’ve worked hard.” Justin sighed deeply.
“She’s my wife. I’m willing to do everything. There’s nothing hard about it.”
Ryan did not blame Yasmin. Instead, he continued the conversation, “Where were we? Right! I was just thinking. Maxwell is a fugitive. He’s powerless and has no influence here. How could he manage to hire so many people to work for him? Could it be Christopher’s doing? Are his men secretly protecting Maxwell?”
Bella and Justin thought of this possibility, too.
After all, Maxwell was Winston’s superior and had participated in the South Island attack. For them, he was a key witness who could deliver a devastating blow to Christopher. So naturally, Christopher would not let such significant leverage fall into their hands. Would that not be like placing his own head on the muzzle of a gun?
“Maxwell has appeared, which means he’s still alive and in Savrow. As long as he’s in Savrow, he won’t be able to escape. It’s only a matter of time before we get him.”
