When the helicopter crashed in the countryside, it made the news headlines. Residents living nearby recorded the whole thing
and shared it online, which caused a lot of commotion.
The incident was undoubtedly unfortunate. The next day, the police issued an official statement through official channels,
revealing that the helicopter had been used by a wanted criminal in an attempt to escape arrest. The statement also confirmed
that all six people on board had died. After this news came out, public opinion changed completely, with many people applauding
and feeling that justice had been served.
Charles's forensic report had also been released, confirming that he died due to asphyxiation. Additionally, based on the location
of the ligature marks and signs of struggle on his body, it was evident that he was deliberately murdered.
However, there were hundreds of inmates and hundreds of police officers in the detention center, so they could not identify
anyone as the perpetrator. Or perhaps someone was secretly obstructing the progress of the investigation, hoping to ensure that
the truth of this case would never come to light.
Various opinions have emerged online regarding James' death.
[Good riddance! I was wondering how to sentence him to death, but justice was served. It couldn't be better!]
[That monster got off too easily. He should have been thrown in prison for a few years, starved every day, beaten every day, and
tortured to death-that would have been satisfying!]
[Yeah, he died too quickly. He didn't even get to experience real pain. Regrettable!]
[But what's even worse is that the victims didn't manage to witness Charles being tried by the law! He hasn't faced public
condemnation! It's just one more thing to feel sorry about.]
But no one, absolutely no one, stood up for Charles unless they had completely lost their minds.
The Iverson family also did not make any statements either. They were as quiet as if Charles were nothing but a stranger to
them.
The beloved son that was doted on for over twenty years was murdered. Even after his death, he was still being insulted online.
As the head of the Iverson family, Lance didn't dare say anything. He only hopec that the public would no longer focus on their
family affairs.
James' funeral was quickly organized, and only family members came to offer their condolences. Who, with any dignity, would
come to mourn a monster who did nothing but evil?
As time passed, there were only two days left until the first trial in the Shannon case.
Early that morning, Bella accompanied Justin to visit his mother, Mary.
In the quiet and serene cemetery, an infinite sense of desolation and sadness pervaded their hearts.
Bella respectfully placed a bouquet of lilies, Mary's favorite flower, in front of the tombstone.
A wave of overwhelming sadness washed over her as she stood behind Justin, her eyes quietly reddening.
Justin bent down on one knee, using a clean white handkerchief to carefully and gently wipe the marble tombstone.
Bella noticed that this part of the cemetery was the most elegant and clean, untouched by dust. It was evident that Justin had
been diligently caring for this place year after year, day after day, allowing his mother to rest in peace.
"Mom, I've come to see you again."
Justin's eyes were moist as his fingertips trembled to touch his mother's beautiful face in the photo. "But this time it's different,
Mom. I'm not alone now. I have someone to accompany me."
He continued, "I remember when I was little, you always feared that I would be alone... Mom, you can rest assured now. I'm
doing well. I have finally found my happiness."
Justin stood up and returned to Bella's side, embracing her tightly, his lips curling up with joy. "Look, isn't this young lady
beautiful? I think she's so beautiful, just like you.'
Bella's cheeks flushed with a slight
intoxication, surpassing countless spring scenes in the mortal world. Her fair and delicate hands intertwined and kneaded,
exuding a shy and reserved charm.
It was as if Justin's mother stood before her, alive and well.
"Mom, let me formally introduce you. Her name is Bella, my lifelong love."
As the last tremulous word fell, Justin visibly choked up. "In this lifetime, I don't want anything else, just her."
"Justin..." Bella murmured softly, tears gathering at her lashes. "You must be happy for me even in the depths of the underworld,
okay?"
Suddenly, Bella's hair that was hanging was lifted by a gentle breeze, scattering the tears at the corner of her eyes as if someone
invisible were softly touching her face. Bella's heart raced wildly, her pupils dilating slightly, as she gazed unwaveringly at the
beautiful woman with an affectionate smile in the black-and-white photograph. She thought, 'Is it you? Are you silently
responding to Justin? So you've been watching over your son from heaven all along, silently protecting and blessing him, right?'
"Mom, we've looked into what
daydet
happened to you, and Bella and I have finally pieced it together. Shannon is behind bars now, and her trial is coming up in two
days. We're hoping that this will be the end of it for her. We won't let her get you. We'll
y with what she did
make sure she pays for all the pain
you went through."
Justin's eyes glowed red as he tightly clasped Bella's hand. "Once the verdict is out, we will come visit you to share the good
news of our win with you."
"Aunt Mary, we will win this battle. Please bless Justin."
After they finished speaking, the young couple held hands and bowed deeply in front of Mary's tomb.
The moment Justin bowed, his eyes welled up with tears, and a small smile surfaced.
After paying respects, they stayed there for a while, and Bella helped to clean up the grave. As they got ready to leave, they
could hear a series of footsteps from a distance.
"Justin?"
The voice he recognized felt like an ice-cold shock, sending shivers down Justin's back.
Bella looked back at him, her eyes quickly narrowing as Justin's grip on her hand tightened.
A short distance away, Gregory stood tall in a sharp and sophisticated black suit. He was accompanied by his secretary and four
trusted bodyguards.
The chairman of the Salvador Corporation's commanding presence disrupted the tranquility of the cemetery.
