Chapter 485
Tristan sat silently in his vehicle as it quickly headed to the Red Brick House, which served as his base camp on the city’s outskirts.
He was eager to learn the results of Reid’s interrogation of the two men who had been causing him concern for the past few months. They seemed to have an unusual interest in his wife’s identity.
Clearly, someone was targeting Bella, and Tristan feared this person might be his old enemy. This enemy had vanished after he beat them in a confrontation to secure the ownership and complete control of some of the mining deals a few years ago.
The thought of this person returning and exploiting his weakness—his wife and son—filled Tristan with dread. He knew he wouldn’t forgive himself if his enemy harmed his family in any way.
He was determined to find out who was behind all of this and put an end to it, ensuring the safety of his family and his own peace of mind.
“Sir, we’ve arrived p>
Tristan opened his eyes at his driver’s voice.
He saw the car parked in front of the Red Brick House.
At the same time, Reid, his head of security, opened the car door for him.
“Boss, welcome,” Reid greeted him politely.
“How did it go?” Tristan asked as he exited the car and began walking towards the building.
“They didn’t say a word at all. These people are fiercely loyal to whoever asked them to spy on the young madam.” Reid scratched his head before continuing, “It looks like they’d rather die than betray their organization p>
His frustration was evident in his tone. He had already tried everything to make them speak, but not a single word came from those people.
Tristan frowned as he entered the elevator, which led them to the underground.
Before long,
Tristan stood expressionless before the one-way glass window, observing the two men tied up in chairs with battered bodies and dried blood on the floor.
“Don’t worry, Boss. I’ve asked Max to trace the places they frequented and the people they met over the past few months. I hope we can find a clue there,” Reid said, glancing at Tristan. He could tell his Boss was very worried.
“When can we expect Max’s report?” Tristan asked, turning his gaze back to Reid.
“I asked for it this afternoon at the latest. I’ll make sure to report to you before the day is over,” Reid explained.
“Please make sure you find something from there. We need to move quickly to capture the person behind them,” Tristan expressed his anxiety again.
“I will do my best, sir p>
Tristan looked back into the room before inquiring about Kelly Davis’s progress.
“That woman is now in the police station. She won’t be able to get out of prison for a long time and won’t become a threat to the young master and your wife in the future p>
Tristan nodded slightly and said, “Reid, please investigate if someone asked her to do that. Yesterday’s incident was a bit odd p>
Reid frowned before asking, “You mean Andreas Corby p>
“I’m not sure about that. But I need you to check to ensure no one else comes after my family. Make sure you investigate the case thoroughly p>
“Yes, sir. I will p>
“Thanks p>
Tristan immediately left the base camp, heading to his office.
At Bella’s house, Bella video-called Jack Foster. Even though office hours had long passed, seeing him still in the office made her believe Harper’s words even more: Jack was having problems with his wife and wanted to end his marriage.
“Boss, you work so hard,” Bella greeted him with a smile.
“Finally, the busy lady called me,” Jack ignored Bella’s words. “What’s up?” he asked, leaning back in his chair, smiling at Bella on his laptop screen.
Bella shrugged as she narrowed her eyes on him.
“Well, Boss, I’m busy because you asked me to take care of the trash company left behind by your brother-in-law p>
Jack’s face instantly stiffened when he heard her words.
“So, Boss, you should give me a huge year-end bonus as compensation for cleaning up your family mess.” Bella’s fake-miserable tone was enough to make Jack chuckle while he shook his head.
“Sister… I know I’m your superior here at this company. But I think you are as rich as I am regarding wealth. More so, your combined assets with your rich hubby are significantly larger than mine,” Jack said with a pleading-gloomy expression. “You should be the one giving me something. I’m broke here compared to you p>
Bella rolled her eyes with a chuckle.
“You think I don’t know how much your wealth is? Ah, speaking of being broke, is that why your pretty wife divorced you p>
“Damn! Where did you hear that cheap gossip?” Jack’s brow raised slightly as he glared at Bella.
“Uh-huh, so you’re not getting a divorce? Good to hear that, bro,” Bella said with a smile of relief. She knew Jack; he was a devoted husband who spent his time and money on his wife. How could he possibly get a divorce if he loved her so much?
Jack’s gloomy expression returned like a dark cloud loomed over his head.
“Oh, I got divorced, alright,” he confessed.
“Huh? Didn’t you deny the gossip earlier?” she asked in shock.
“What I meant was, it wasn’t her who asked for a divorce but me p>
Bella was at a loss for words. She waited for Jack to continue speaking, but after a few more minutes, not a single word or sound came out of his lips.
“Jack, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” Bella finally asked again after they were silent for quite a while. “Why did you finally divorce her? Didn’t you love her so much p>
A wry smile appeared on Jack’s lips before he answered Bella, “I love her so much. The problem is, she doesn’t. After Stefan arrived, he found out something about her p>
Bella was even more confused.
“What is it p>
No matter how angry Jack was, he tried to control his emotions before speaking, “It turns out she was having an affair with a younger man. Her fitness trainer—they have been in a relationship for the past few years p>
