My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Failed To Help Her!
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 tapes.

Stefan nodded.

“Certainly, I can find or recover it, as long as the server is still connected to the LAN or emits a radio wave, not physically taken out or too damaged.”

Bella felt her heartbeat quicken, hearing the slight possibility of getting the recording.

“How long will it take for you to find and check its recording?” Bella asked.

“Wait here… I’ll check it now.” Stefan stood up from his chair and went to his computer desk. He knew Robert’s residence address, so he didn’t have to ask Bella again.

“Perfect, Stefan!” Bella said, sitting in her seat, watching Stefan busy behind his computer.

While waiting for Stefan to finish, Bella took her cell phone from her bag and read trending news online. She opened the news with a video.

Bella saw Laura Kiels leaving the police station and being interviewed by many reporters. Laura wiped her tears with her hand, appearing sad about the news of her manager’s death.

“I’ve worked with Robert for five years, and his passing deeply saddens me. I regret his sacrifice to protect me, and I feel a profound sense of loss…” Laura said.

A man in a black suit—who looked like Laura’s lawyer—offered her a handkerchief; Laura accepted the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Seeing Laura Kiels’ fake tears was enough for Bella almost to vomit blood.

How shameless!

“What fake tears!” Bella whispered. She would never believe this woman.

Bella knew Laura Kiels was delusional—she could do anything to achieve her goals.

She still clearly remembered that this delusional woman even tried to fake her pregnancy, making evil plans with Jessica Sinclair to steal her husband.

‘Laura Kiels, I won’t let you go. I will do whatever I can to send you to prison and let you rot there!’

Bella didn’t want to sour her mood, so she immediately stopped the interview video. However, she didn’t close the article immediately; instead, she read the comments. She wanted to know public opinion about the case.

She thought A-Netz would learn after Stellar Entertainment filed a lawsuit against A-Netz, which slandered the company, but she was wrong. Many of A-Netz out there blamed them even more.

Reading how they blamed Stellar Entertainment for Robert’s death flared up anger inside her.

How could they say Robert was drunk driving because he was stressed about the lawsuit that Stellar Entertainment filed against him?

“Darn it! These people! They seem not to learn anything from the previous case, huh!” She mutters softly, venting her anger.

Taking a deep sigh, Bella closed the article and threw her cell phone in her bag.

The more she saw the news on the internet, the more her head hurt. She put aside A-Netz’s claims about Robert’s death and, leaning on the couch, tried to rest her mind while waiting for Stefan.

She hoped Stefan would find something to help them turn the tables and find concrete evidence to convict Laura Kiels.

Before long…

Bella finally saw Stefan standing from his seat. The tension in her heart grew thicker when she saw Stefan’s unreadable expression.

“Stefan, how is it? Did you retrieve the missing CCTV footage?” Her tense tone did not hide her excitement.

Stefan didn’t rush to answer her; instead, he sat in his place while looking at her with concern, which caused Bella to feel even more tense.

Bella couldn’t help but comment, “Stefan, do you intend to give me a disease called ‘High Blood Pressure?'” She fixed her cold gaze on him before continuing, “Stop stressing me out!”

“Hahaha, of course not, my dear pretty sister… your husband will kill me if I do that.” Stefan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Then speak! Please, bro…” Her cold expression remained strong, but now she added some courtesy, causing Stefan to feel terrible for making that joke. So, he sits straight again and puts his focus on her.

After a while, there was no playful smile on his face when he said, “I’m sorry, sis. I can’t connect to the server. I don’t think there is a server where this particular CCTV stored its records anymore. Someone must have taken out or destroyed the server…”

Bella was surprised to hear that.

If an expert hacker like Stefan couldn’t find the needed evidence, there was no hope for her to imprison Laura Kiels. This is sad!

‘What the hell! Is this the end!? That damn woman is really free from this case?’ Her hands gripped tightly, feeling mad.

At that moment, Bella didn’t know how to react. It felt like a dark fog had enveloped her mind, making it difficult for her to think. She was at a loss for words and could only stare back at Stefan with an empty gaze.

Stefan felt scared when he saw Bella looking strange, staring at him without saying anything. Several seconds passed, and she still hadn’t said a word. He might have thought she was turning into a mannequin if her eyelashes hadn’t moved.

After a few more seconds passed and she was still silent, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, Bella… Are you alright? Why are you staring at me like that? Please, sis, don’t make me scared…”

Bella flinched at Stefan’s worried tone.

Hurriedly, she cleared her throat before saying, “I’m fine, Stefan. I’m just a little disappointed that we couldn’t send that woman to prison.”

“Yeah, I know… That’s why I also feel mad now.” Stefan scratched his head, still annoyed. It was difficult for him to tell her about this result because it was embarrassing for him not to be able to help her imprison Laura Kiels.

For a few moments, silence filled the room. They were both lost in their thoughts.

However, Bella broke the silence first.

“We can’t do anything more about Laura Kiels, but we also can’t dwell in disappointment. So, let’s forget this matter…” she said softly.
