Bella and Sam looked tense as they were curious about the result.
After Leo saw Bella and Sam in return, he continued, "Well, this is so annoying! There is no evidence to change Laura Kiels’ status from a witness to a suspect. So, after she was questioned for seven hours, the police let her leave the station."
Bella’s shoulders dropped upon hearing the news. Although she had anticipated it, it still left her feeling upset.
However, she didn’t say anything. Bella was busy looking for other ways to catch Laura without letting her get away with this case.
"Damn it! That damn woman is so slippery. How did she get away with it?" Leo cursed, annoyed. He had hoped that Laura’s status would change to that of the main suspect in the slander case, but it did not. She got away quite easily.
"Maybe she’s just lucky! Hard to beat luck, you know," Sam said, just as annoyed as Leo. "If Robert hadn’t died, then that woman wouldn’t be this calm."
Leo suddenly turned to Sam as he rembered sothing.
"By the way, Sam... How is your investigation going? Any significant progress? Did you find anything?" Leo knew Sam and his team in Sentinel Network had tried to find a clue about Robert’s sudden death.
"Nothing so far, Man! It’s really frustrating …" Sam took a deep breath before continuing. "Nothing in the cri scene can lead us to sothing important. Whoever cleans it has done an incredible job."
"Damn! Laura Kiels is so lucky to have found so professional hitn backing her evilness..." Leo muttered, shaking his head and looking at Bella. His brows slowly furrowed as he looked at her; she seed lost in her thoughts.
Just before Leo wanted to ask her opinion, Bella lifted her head and t Leo’s gaze.
"Well... Laura Kiels is not lucky, guys..." Bella faintly smiled when she saw Leo and Sam confused hearing her words.
"It’s just like you said, Leo. I’m sure Laura has so good hands helping her. Soone with powerful connections and experience in the criminal world is helping her carry out her dirty deeds," she continued.
Instantly, Leo and Sam gasped in surprise at Bella’s sureness. At first, they just thought about it but didn’t really believe it. Still, after hearing how confident Bella was about her analysis, they both started to believe that Laura Kiels had a lot of help from soone with professional criminal backgrounds.
"Soone backing her up... Are you sure only one person helps her, Boss? Do you have any idea who it is, Boss?" Leo looked at Bella curiously.
"Man, is it Jessica Sinclair?" Sam chid in while looking at Leo. However, a second later, he corrected his statent. "Well...it’s impossible for Jessica Sinclair to help her, right?"
"Tsk... Tsk... Sam, of course, not her. How could Jessica Sinclair help her!? Did you forget Sinclair Group sued Laura Kiels!?" Leo said as he turned his gaze back to Bella. "Boss, who is the person behind Laura?
I guess you already know..."
"Ah, you’re right...I forgot about that!" Sam nodded and also waited for Bella to answer.
Bella smiled bitterly. After thinking for a mont, she realized she needed to do a deeper investigation into Laura Kiels’ circle.
She might find sothing that could lead her to the person who helped Laura.
"I’m sure it’s only one person, guys. But this person has strong experience and powerful henchn. And no, I have no idea who that person would be. I desperately want to find out about that person." Bella responded.
When she saw them slightly disappointed, she dismissed them both.
"Alright, you both can continue to work. I need to speak with Stefan. I hope he can help us find that person."
Bella stood up and walked towards Stefan’s computer room.
...
The door opened when Bella was about to knock on the door.
Stefan was surprised to see Bella standing right before his computer room.
She looked beautiful as usual in her casual black cropped pants, matching shirt, and khaki outerwear hanging on her shoulders. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. Even though she didn’t apply makeup, only cherry-colored lip gloss, she still looked stunning.
His smile grew broader, and he greeted her excitedly, "Hi, Sis... What a coincidence. I was just about to co down to see you. What brings you up here?" he asked, scratching his ssy hair.
"I need to discuss a few things with you, Stefan." Bella smiled back at him.
Stefan said nothing but stepped aside to let her into his computer room. After she entered, he closed the door and joined her in the sitting area.
"Sister Bella, why does your expression look annoyed? Has sothing offended you, Sis?" Stefan asked as he sat across from Bella.
"Yeah, soone is making stressed right now," Bella sighed deeply, feeling annoyed again.
"Who annoyed my sister? Just tell , Sis. I’ll make sure that person suffers." Stefan narrowed his eyes, waiting for an answer from Bella.
"Laura Kiels! It looks like she will get away with what she did." Bella took a deep breath. "You know, Stefan, I think that woman has so backup that helped her escape easily," she continued.
"Ah, Laura Bitch Kiels... She is indeed slippery, just like an eel. Hahaha..." Stefan laughed, but his laughter gradually faded when he saw Bella didn’t even look at him, let alone smile at his humor.
Stefan silently swallowed when he realized Bella was not in a good mood.
After clearing his throat, Stefan continued, "Sis, I can see you’re not in a good mood because of Laura Kiels. Do you need my help?" He offered, his expression tense as he waited for her reaction.
After a few more seconds, a faint smile appeared on Stefan’s face when he saw Bella’s expression slowly soften.
Bella told Stefan about the oddities that Sam found in the CCTV footage around Robert’s house. She asked him if he could get the missing footage.
