"It's fine. | was just worried you might have had an accident hurrying over." Bella quickly stepped forward and used her sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Justin held her delicate wrist tightly, his gaze locking onto hers.
"Bella, | just met up with someone. | have some good news to share with you!" Bella's beautiful eyes lit up. "What's the good news?" "Well, business first." Justin looked at Bella with a loving smile, gently brushing her nose with his fingertip.
"Owen Hopkins will be here soon. I'll personally interrogate him," Ralph said. His face lit up at the thought of finally making a breakthrough after all this time.
"Ralph, remember to be mindful of your tone." Bella reminded Ralph thoughtfully, "Hopkins used to hold a high position and was your superior. Even though he's now a criminal, people like him are often arrogant and unyielding at their core. So, you should treat him with respect. Be polite and guide him carefully. Don't be too forceful or put too much pressure on him." "Come on! Do you think | don't know that? | haven't been working as a detective all these years for nothing," Ralph patted his younger sister's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. | got this." With that, he opened the door and stepped into the room.

"I know." "Huh?" Suddenly, Bella's eyes lit up with realization. She quickly pieced everything together. "So, you met with Attorney Lyles in private? The good news you were going to tell me... Could it be that you convinced him to join our side?" Justin's handsome brows furrowed slightly as he chuckled and shook his head. "Bella, must you be so sharp? It's like you can read my mind. | always feel like I'm naked around you." "Hehe... Whether you're dressed or not doesn't make much difference to me." Bella's playful gaze showed a hint of allure. Her delicate fingers traced circles over his firm
abdomen through his crisp white shirt. "I know where all your moles are, which spots are most sensitive, and exactly how many abs you have..." In the middle of the police station, the young lady had the nerve to flirt openly. Not only that, her face remained calm.
"Bella, this is a police station," Justin murmured in his deep voice, his hand sliding around her slim waist, a place he could never resist.
"So what? We're an old married couple... Why are you pretending to be good?" Bella pouted in mock disappointment.
"Good?"
