Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040

After over five hours, the private jet smoothly landed in Savrow.

Upon their arrival at the airport, the medical personnel, arranged in advance by Asher, rushed over, ready to take Justin to the

hospital.

“No. | don’t need to go to the hospital,” Justin refused decisively.

“H-How could you do this?!”

Bella was infuriated, and her eyes reddened. “You're going back on your word! We agreed that you'd go to the hospital for

treatment.

You're such a liar!”

Justin sighed helplessly and approached, embracing Bella tightly. “I’m sorry, Bella. You can hit me or scold me. But please...

Don’t ignore

me.”

“I'll ignore you! You liar! Hmph!” Bella nestled in his arms, refusing

look at him.

Asher and the others could only smile wryly.

It felt like they were witnessing a quarrel between two elementary

school kids, and it could not be more childish.

Seeing that Bella was genuinely upset, Justin paused for a moment. His expression turned serious. “Bella, the most important

thing now is to interrogate Winston.”

Upon hearing Winston’s name, Bella’s eyes dimmed.

“Right now, the news of Winston’s return has not reached Shannon

yet. As long as she remains uninformed, she won't have the opportunity to disrupt our plans or devise any countermeasures.

That’s why we must quickly obtain his confession and make him admit, in person, that Shannon hired him to kill Linny.”

“But will he admit to it?”

Bella was distraught, her delicate brows furrowing tightly. “Murder is

a capital offense. He knows there’s no escaping it. Confessing about it won't benefit him or reduce his sentence. Besides, if he

wants to spite us before he dies, he'll take the blame for Shannon. We’re powerless against Shannon, so it’s as if we're letting

him vent his

anger.”

Upon hearing this, the others present could not help but feel

disheartened at her words!

Bella’s analysis was spot on. Criminals like Winston, who were utterly

wicked and desperate, had no conscience left to speak. There was hope of him coming forward as a witness.

“W-What should we do then? Is there really nothing else we can

against that jerk?” Ryan complained indignantly.

Justin focused intently, contemplating the situation. Suddenly, a smirk appeared on his lips. “Well, in that case, we must ensure

that

Shannon is made aware that Winston is currently in our custody.”

Bella, quick-witted as ever, immediately caught on to Justin’s underlying message. She hugged him tightly, her chest pressing

against him as she playfully teased, “Wow! You're so wicked! Where

did you come up with all these schemes? | guess you're really a jerk,

like | always said!”

Justin found himself moved by this affectionate gesture, his eyes

tinged with emotion and his voice husky as he spoke, “Darling, next time you praise me, you don’t have to be so subtle about it.”

The three other men could not bear witnessing their display of

affection any longer.

Goodness. Are they showing off their relationship or what?!

“Ahem... Um, well, while you guys

Ryan waved and stepped back,

Justice will ultimately prevail over

evil! Come on! We can do this!”

And in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

The others stood there in silence.

“Um... My family’s hospital has a

might even get a discount if you mention my name.”

Amold crossed his arms and lightly bumped into Asher.

Asher, standing tall and straight like a tree, glanced at him calmly,

allowing him to make his subtle gestures.

Bella and Justin nodded in agreement. “That sounds like a plan!”
