The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"We've been cautious and have made sure no details leaked out." Justin's eyes turned cold and dark. "I think the Iverson family has placed spies around the homes of the two main witnesses, watching them closely. They found out about our meeting with Rachel and were worried she might become a witness, so they wanted to eliminate her."

"Damn it!" Bella and lan exclaimed in unison.

"Charles is still detained. He couldn't have contacted anyone. So who are the ones acting on his behalf? Could it be that bastard, Christopher?!" lan asked with frustration.

Bella disagreed with a slight shake of her head. "It can't be Christopher. Out of the whole Iverson family, he's the one who really wants to see those scoundrels in the family brought down one by one. There is no way he would help Charles. It's probably Lance and James instead."

"It's James, no doubt about it," Justin said confidently, his gaze cold.

Bella quickly grabbed his hand, her stunning eyes darting around. "Justin, what makes you so certain it's him?"

"Lance is not a gangster who goes around killing people he doesn't like. He's a relatively successful businessman, and successful businessmen understand the importance of playing it safe. So unless there's really no other choice, he wouldn't go to such extreme lengths.

"Even if Charles does end up with some time behind bars, the Iversons will probably pull some strings and get him out in twelve or thirteen years at the most. Plus, as the chairman of the group, Lance wouldn't take any chances by resorting to murder just to save someone insignificant like Charles, especially if that meant risking everything."

Justin's rational assessment made sense. "Also, Charles isn't his sole heir. There is also James and the up-and-coming talent, Christopher. Lance wouldn't get involved in that mess. But the situation with James is different. Bella, you're the one who knows best about the complex dynamics within the Iverson family."
