My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Know The Identity of The Package Sender
“What’s evident?”

Tristan asked as he placed her cell phone on the table and pulled her into his arms. His arms wrapped around her waist, bringing their bodies into close contact.

Bella looked up at Tristan’s face as she continued, “Evidence to send Laura Kiels to prison—”

Tristan’s expression slowly changed, his smile vanishing instantly as Bella’s words hit him like a ton of bricks.

He didn’t immediately answer Bella. His mind was racing, realizing that the hacker behind her was much better than Max.

How could she know so quickly?

Tristan had ensured that Max erased any traces of the package’s sender because he didn’t want his wife to know about his involvement in this matter. He remembered her insistence that she handle it by herself and asked him not to get involved.

Hearing her words made Tristan’s heart race with worry. He urgently needed to speak with Max to uncover the identity of the hacker working behind his wife.

“Mr. Tristan Sinclair, please answer me. Did you send the evidence?” Bella asked again when she hadn’t heard anything from him. His gaze was still fixed on her as if he were present but absent simultaneously. This perplexed her.

A faint smile slowly spread across Tristan’s lips, though he inwardly worried that she knew about his underground operations. He didn’t want her to concern herself too much with his other business, at least not now.

An idea appeared in his mind to test how much she knew about his involvement.

“Wife, why did you assume I sent it? Is there anything I do that makes you suspect me?” he asked calmly, maintaining his smile.

Bella felt doubtful; was her guess wrong?

“Okay. Why don’t we sit down first? Then maybe you could share what’s inside your mind about this,” Tristan said, taking her hand and leading her to the sofa.

After they sat beside each other, Bella began telling him about the Laura Kiels case.

They didn’t have strong evidence to put Laura Kiels in prison, and the woman had started making a comeback on social media, trying to garner sympathy from A-Netz.

While they were at a dead end, they suddenly received strong evidence to send Laura Kiels to prison.

Earlier, Bella was surprised to learn that Sam had reported the sender, who was related to her husband.

Tristan, silently listening, tried not to show too much reaction.

“—Hubby, Sam said the person who put the package in my office met one of the men who came with you to the park when the gangster attacked me,” Bella said, her eyes fixed on him.

Instantly, Reid, the head of his company’s security team, appeared in Tristan’s mind. He remembered Reid also coming to the park with him.

‘Damn it, Reid! How could you make this small mistake?’ Tristan vented his anger toward his team in his mind before he smiled at her.

Tristan was frustrated by his team’s small mistake but relieved that Bella didn’t seem to suspect his underground business—at least not yet. He hoped she wouldn’t discover it, as it would be hard to explain.

But he couldn’t avoid it since his wife already knew about the evidence.

Tristan casually rubbed the back of his neck, smiling guiltily at her.

“I’m sorry, my wife, if I helped you without telling you beforehand. I just wanted to lessen your stress about this case. That’s why I secretly helped you. I asked my security team, Reid, who came with me to the park, to look for the evidence and send it to you—” Tristan stopped in surprise.

He couldn’t continue his words as her warm lips covered his. She pulled her lips away just before he wanted to kiss her back deeply.

“Thank you, hubby. This time, I am truly happy about your help. When we were at a dead end, you sent the evidence to us. And I’m also happy that you didn’t brag about it and let me discover that you help me without patronizing me.”

Tristan was shocked. He thought Bella would be upset because of his help.

“You know, Hubby? If we don’t have strong evidence, that woman might make a quick comeback in the entertainment industry in this country—” Bella paused her sentence when she saw the shocked expression on Tristan’s face. “Why do you look so worried?”

Tristan smiled, “I thought you would be angry with me because I helped you without you asking.”

“Husband, why should I be angry about it?” Bella laughed when she saw his confused expression. “Instead, thank you because you helped me a lot…”

“You probably forgot. But you told me not to help you with this matter when I offered you help,” Tristan responded.

Bella nodded, taking a deep breath. At first, she believed Laura Kiels’ case was simple. However, she recently discovered that someone with a strong background was assisting Laura. Her suspicions intensified when her team found no evidence regarding Robert’s death.

“I know. At first, I thought this was a simple case. But recently, I discovered that someone with a strong background is helping her,” Bella said.

“Someone behind that woman?” Tristan asked. He didn’t think that far.

When he obtained the evidence, he only arrested Robert without investigating Laura Kiels’ background in detail.

“Yes. At first, I suspected that your mother was helping her. But after we investigated, we found your mother was not involved with her after—”

Bella informed him that Jessica had last seen Laura two months ago at a restaurant.

At that time, Laura left the restaurant in a terrible condition, as if Jessica had harshly punished her. After that, Laura disappeared and hid in a place that couldn’t be traced.

“Interesting, she has someone behind her—” Tristan said, making a note to ask his people to find out more.

“But now I no longer think about that woman. She will soon go to jail after my legal representative reports the evidence to the police!” Bella’s eyes beamed; she couldn’t wait to see that woman arrested for what she did.

Tristan felt relieved to see his wife no longer stressed. He embraced her, carrying her to their bed shortly afterward.

“Wifey, let’s give Dax a little sister.”

Bella was utterly speechless.
