Chapter 791
Ralph’s voice was icy, his eyes subtly darkening. “So, everything you said earlier about your love for Celeste turning into hatred
was
bullshit.”
Harry’s face twisted into a creepy grin. “So what if you found out? I am indeed a fan of Shannon. I’m obsessed with her to the
point that I’ll do anything for her! Even if it’s killing Celeste!”
Ralph’s shoulders were shaking with anger. He wished he could charge forward and smash Harry’s face.
“But if you’re wondering about my relationship with Shannon, well, there’s none. We’re not even friends. It’s just me being
delusional. I’m willing to do anything for her, including sacrificing myself and murder. I’m fine without her knowing any of this.”
With that, Harry closed his eyes, seeming to have accepted his fate.
Harry only dared make such a bold statement because he knew he could only be charged with intentional harm, or at worst,
attempted murder, for his crimes. After all, Justin was fine, and Celeste remained unharmed. Even if the Thompsons sought
revenge, they would be powerless.
He only felt that it was a pity that he couldn’t fulfill the task Shannon had entrusted him with.
Ralph was well aware of Harry’s thinking. A wave of rage surged within him, and his eyes turned red with fury.
After a while, he instructed his subordinates to leave, then stood up

and switched off the recording device.
“Harry, it’s just the two of us now. Let’s speak freely.”
Ralph casually paced around the interrogation room. He sat on the table with his hands in his pockets, staring at Harry coldly.
“You volunteered to be Shannon’s hitman and do her dirty work. Sure. That’s your decision. But imagine if there’s something
more to your relationship with Shannon. If this were to leak to the media, what would they make of it? What if the Salvadors
heard rumors about it? How do you think Chairman Salvador would react?”
“Everyone would assume Shannon sent you to attack Celeste. Chairman Salvador would suspect there’s something fishy
between the both of you. When that happens and you’re tucked away in prison, what about your sweetheart? Her reputation has
already taken a hit. If this gets out, she could lose all respect, right?”
Bella once told him. ‘To destroy someone, you must first destroy their
heart!’
When Harry heard this, his body trembled, causing the handcuffs to clink. His eyes were burning crimson as he glared at Ralph.
“You’re a cop! Revealing the details of an ongoing investigation to the media is against the rules! I’ll report you!”
“Do you really believe I’d play by the rules with someone as stubborn and wicked as you?”
Ralph lifted his chin slightly, exuding fearlessness. “Let me make it clear, Harry. You’ve not only provoked me, but the entire
Thompson family. Since you dare to lay your fingers on Celeste, by all means, I’ll make sure both Shannon and you end up in
hell together!”

“That guy is the one who stole it!” Shannon muttered incoherently, her eyes darting around in panic.
“Back then, when I was filming, I left the necklace backstage. When I
came back, it was gone. It must have been him who stole it!”
“Is that so? It was stolen, yet he didn’t sell it for money. Instead, it
was carefully kept until now.” Bella couldn’t help but chuckle when
she heard her flawed explanation.
“How would I know what he decided to do with it?” Shannon realized
she might not be able to outwit Bella’s sharp tongue, so she resorted
to acting defiant to the end.
Without concrete evidence, what was Bella capable of doing anyway?
“To be honest, I had someone look into the TS Gem Channel. They
talked to people who knew Harry back then, and they all said you two
were very close at that time. He didn’t take any money from you, but
he was always there for you. He willingly served as your assista
making sure you were safe and helping you out whenever need
“Tell me, for a man so infatuated with you, why would he steal fro
you? And even if he did, it’s probably because he’s in love with you
Mrs. Salvador.”
Bella’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a smirk that sent
shivers down Shannon’s spine. “So, he’s willing to do anything for you, including murder.”
“Bella! Shut up!” Shannon was drenched in cold sweat, her voice
trembling.

The gazes of the onlookers gradually became skeptical and complex as they watched her.
