The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 2257

Asher’s brow furrowed, and Bella’s eyes grew cold. The siblings spoke in unison.

“Her?!”

Ralph nodded gravely. “Two days before Christopher’s death, Clarice conducted a charitable medical check-up for the prisoners at the detention center. Not long after that, Christopher was reported to have died from heart failure. Although there’s no concrete evidence proving it was Clarice’s doing, of the people Christopher came into contact with before his death, she’s the one with both the opportunity and the means to make it happen. Her sudden appearance at the detention center is just too suspicious, isn’t it?”

Bella leaned back against the headboard, her long lashes casting shadows as she lowered her eyes.

“Let’s assume Clarice was responsible. That would mean Grant knew Christopher. He must have sent Clarice to get rid of Christopher, likely fearing that if Christopher stood trial, he would reveal something damning about Grant. So, they silenced him to cover their tracks.”

Bella’s imagination had always been impressive, and her ability to connect the dots was unmatched. Even with just a few scraps of information, she could craft bold and shocking theories.

Asher’s eyes widened. “Grant knew Christopher? But they don’t have any connections.”

Ralph agreed. “After learning that Clarice had interacted with Christopher, I immediately looked into her background. There’s no record of her ever knowing him. Their pasts don’t intersect in any way.”

“But why would she randomly conduct a check-up there? Ralph, you also said it seemed sudden,” Bella pondered.

“It wasn’t just a check-up. She’s become a special consultant to the prison. All the paperwork is done, and the city has already approved it. She officially starts next month.”

Ralph’s brows knitted tightly together. “There’s definitely some uncanny coincidence here. Bella, I wish it were that easy to catch the culprit, but we can’t arrest anyone without solid proof. Theories alone won’t cut it.”
