Chapter 2321

After lunch, Bella and Steven immediately set out for Maya's home.

This was Savrow's infamous slum-a place of poverty, decay, and filth. Under the blanket of snow, it appeared even more bleak and desolate.

Maya's house was a rundown building with dirty bricks and a broken roof. It looked like a strong gust of wind could make the entire building collapse.

"This is heartbreaking! Simply unfair!" Steven shook his head angrily and said, "The victim's family is living so miserably, barely getting by, while Grant flaunts his wealth and status like a king. Where's the justice in that?"

"How can regular folks stand up to big-shot tycoons? This is just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how many other horrible things are going on behind the scenes?" Bella's beautiful eyes dimmed as she sighed softly.

"Who are you looking for?" An old woman approached them, leaning on a cane. Seeing their well-dressed appearance, she could not help her curiosity.

"Ma'am, we're here to see Maya's mother, Mrs. Cooper. Do you know her?" Bella's gentle smile made her seem more approachable.
