NovelOnlineJustin's words immediately brought Bella's senses back from being entangled in sorrow.
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious and reasonable it seemed.
“We've analyzed before that with Liam and Zoe's ability, they could not find such a capable helper. Someone must've supported
them from behind.”
Justin's eyes shone as he calmly broke things down. “What if Christopher wanted to set a trap to take revenge? It's not impossible.
Besides, Ralph just said that the assassin was most likely from overseas. Christopher had been in Sentania for many years. It
wouldn't be too hard for him to find someone to help Liam solve their problems.”
“Revenge? If that viper wants revenge, he should cto us! What does it have to do with Ryan and Carrie?”
Bella was furious. “Is he so free that he wants to meddle in the Hoffman Group's affairs?!”
“Carrie is my sister, and Ryan is my best friend.”
Justin's thin lips twitched, his hoarse voice suppressing anger and hatred. “Bella, do you understand?”

As Carrie was present, there were sthings he could not say too bluntly and cruelly.
Someone like Christopher, who has forsaken his humanity, was more than capable of venting his anger on the people close to
Justin.
Christopher knew Ryan cared most about Carrie. So, he wanted to hand a knife to the Hoffman Group and destroy the relationship
between Ryan and Carrie, letting the people Justin cared about feel the pain of losing someone they loved.
This kind of empathetic heartache was undoubtedly like cutting Justin's flesh with a blunt knife!
Bella's breath hitched, but she raised another question after a moment of thought.
“Justin, your analysis makes sense, but the situation is different. Does Christopher need to repeat the strick? He kept a woman
who looked likebeside him to set you up and to show her face to confuse people.
“Why does he need to send an assassin that looks like Hugh? There's no need for that. Besides, Christopher is quite a meticulous
person. If he used the strick, wouldn't it be easy for us to think of him? Would he be so dumb to leave us clues?”
“Justin’s analysis is reasonable.” Ralph’s gaze was sharp and cold, regaining his composure as a captain. “Christopher has the
motive to use the Hoffman Group to plot against Ryan. But Bella is right about one thing. He didn’t need to use someone who
looked like Hugh. Once this man shows himself, things might beccomplicated, like now.”
Carrie, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly spoke, staring at Ralph's resolute face nervously. “Ralph, you mean... The
person who hurt Ryan might not be Christopher... It could be someone else?”
Bella and Justin were surprised.
In the past, Carrie was timid and cautious, living obediently and humbly, appearing naive and frail.
Ryan had always protected her like a precious flower in the greenhouse, but she was actually perceptive and clear-headed.
“Yes. Carrie, you're smart.”
Carrie was attentive and cared about this case because it involved the person she loved most.
“Someone is behind Christopher,” Bella and Justin blurted in unison.
The situation was becoming more complicated.
So, was this the signal of that person’s appearance?

Could it be a coincidence that this man, who looked so similar to Hugh, started being involved with the people around them?
Christopher was already a tough opponent to deal with. What kind of terrifying figure was it that could make him submit?
After their discussion, Ralph wanted to leave without staying longer.
Bella and Justin walked him to the door, but unexpectedly, Carrie hurriedly ran out without even wearing her jacket.
“Ralph, wait!”
“I'm not cold. It's okay.” Carrie's face was rosy and sincere. “Ralph, I've finished all the biscuits you sentlast time. They're
delicious.”
“It's nothing. As long as you liked them.” Ralph smiled brightly.
Carrie pursed her lips, handing him a scroll of paper. “This is for you. Thank you for the treats.”
“Wow... It looks just like Ralph!” Bella peered at it and could not help exclaiming.
Justin nodded. “It does look like him.”
