LoveNovelJustin wanted to say something tofort her but didn't know where to begin, so he remained silent.
"Did I let you down?" Bella sniffled, rubbing her nose red, forcing a bitter smile.
"No." Perhaps he had asked too much of her. She was just a young woman-smart, capable, resourceful, and brave enough to stand against such depravity. She was already so strong and perfect. What right did he have to demand more resilience from her? Yet, seeing her so meek and vulnerable made him squirm with difort.
"We've found it! We've recovered Ms. Smith's phone!” With so many people performing the search in the morning light, it did not take long to locate Yvonne's blood-stained phone. "Yvonne..." Bella's fear peaked at the sight of the blood; her heart was filled with dread.
Thankfully, Justin remained calm. He tried to switch the phone back on and it worked! "What's the password?" Justin asked, his voice steady and gentle as he looked at the tearful Bella.

In the photo gallery, there were several images of documents. Fearing any mishap, Yvonne had saved backups on her phone.
As Justin and Bella carefully examined the files, he subconsciously leaned in, their heads almost touching.
Since they were both fluent in French, it made the task seamless.
Intrigued, Ryan joined in. But his French had been woefully lacking since childhood, so he stood there cluelessly.
"RC Biotech Research Center is the culprit behind those human drug experiments! The drug had originated from RC Biotech!" Bella's eyes burned with determination as she met Justin's intense gaze.
"Yes. This must be the information Yvonne retrieved from Pivotage. Christopher left it there before he could take it with him." "Does that mean Yvonne was targeted and hunted down because she had this information?" Ryan asked urgently.
Bella tightened her grip on the phone, her sharp gaze narrowing further. "Since this file was found at Pivotage, it confirms that RC Biotech Research Center's point of contact in the country was Christopher.
"RC Biotech likely sent this experimental report to him, and he kept it as leverage, just in case, Who else would want this information now that Christopher and his faction are gone?" en kikistories A heavy and oppressive silence fell over the group.
All signs were now pointed to Grant and Clarice. Aside from them, no one else would be worried about Yvonne.
Justin's expression remained calm, but the sudden surge of crimson rage in his eyes betrayed his fury.
"Bastards! Absolute scum!" Ryan clenched his fists, his voice shaking with rage.

With her personality, even if she were to die the next second, she would face it alone, without dragging anyone else into it." en.kikistories Justin stared deeply at her, his voice rough. "Yes, in that way, you're very much alike." Bella's heart trembled at his words but continued, "So, if she calledat such a life-or-death moment, she must have had something to tell me, to warnabout." But no matter how hard she thought, her head throbbed, and she could not figure it out.
"Let's go home. Rest and take care of yourself." Justin's voice carried concern as he watched her pained expression. "I'll contact Drew. We used to be classmates and have a decent relationship. If I talk to him, he might listen." en.kikistories Ryan shook his head in disbelief. Justin's confidence in his persuasive abilities was laughable.
With his sharp tongue, he was more likely to drive someone to despair than offerfort.
Eventually, Justin and Ryan escorted the utterly exhausted Bella to the car, while lan drove her back to her hin Hatchbay. "Justin, do you think this matter-" Before Ryan could finish, a loud crash interrupted him, making him flinch.
Justin's bloodshot eyes were filled with violence as he slammed his fist into the car window, shattering the glass.
The anger he had suppressed throughout the ordeal erupted now that Bella was out of sight, revealing itself fully before his closest friend.
"I won't let him go," Justin said, his voice trembling with fury.
"Who?" "Grant. And that bitch he keeps by his side."
