Chapter 748
The screen displayed a string of numbers instead of his name. Justin always had two numbers, one for his personal use and the other for
work.
Bella had memorized both numbers by heart. It was unusual for him
to call her from his work number.
Bella’s heart raced as she answered. She slowly raised the phone to
her ear but remained silent.
“Bella!” Justin’s voice sounded hoarse and broken.
Bella tightly sealed her lips, her eyelashes fluttering.
“Bella, you have to believe me. I’ve been set up!”
