Chapter 953 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• The other three were taken aback. Their mouths fell open. Bella took Justin's hand in hers. It's been twenty years, Justin. From where did you obtain the proof? Justin murmured in a low, raspy voice while clasping her hand. Do you recall when I promised to find the maid who used to work for my mother? Bella gave an obedient nod. "Perhaps some get a premonition before calamity. That maid attempted to leave the country before Shannon's accident. Lan used a little coaxing after sending someone to catch her in time. After taking a long breath, Justin went on, "She revealed some truths in her panic to save her son." It went much beyond what Shannon admitted on that tape.
• He was essentially a good man. How could he have used the life of a kid as a negotiating chip if he hadn't been driven to such extremes? Bella thought Justin wouldn't hurt the maid's son, even if she persisted in her stubbornness to the very end. He couldn't do it. How would he be different from those like Christopher if he did? "My mother was murdered by Shannon. My mother was poisoned by Shannon herself. Justin did his best to control the roiling wrath in his heart, but his eyes were bloodshot. The hand he held Bella's grip on felt like thick ice. "She was poisoned by her own hands." Both Ralph's and Axel's cheeks tensed in disbelief. Lan's body stumbled as though he had been hit by a powerful blow.
• Bella thought she was having trouble breathing. It seemed as though a huge stone had crushed her chest. They would have gone crazy if it had been anybody else, but Justin remained sane. Her heart ached more the calmer he seemed. Ralph's question was urgent. "What exactly happened, Mr. Salvador?" The maid came clean. Although she did what Shannon instructed, she just substituted common, non-toxic vitamins for my mother's medications. But maybe Shannon felt that my mother's and Gregory's connection was warming up at that time. Shannon added a little poison to the vitamins out of fear of trouble. The toxin would build up over time, resulting in abrupt death and heart paralysis.
