It was undoubtedly exhilarating news, but the room was deadly silent.
Bella halted, her tone calm. "Ralph told me that before the execution, Shannon had already broken down mentally, pissed
herself, and couldn't walk. They dragged her to the execution ground. That scene mus be satisfying."
Justin's thin lips parted, and his voice was hoarse and low. "Was it by injection or shooting?"
"Injection."
Bella looked at the man's dark, deep eyes, pursing her red lips. "Wasn't shooting her considered merciful? She struggled in
agony for ten minutes after being injected with poison before her heart stopped beating.
"She was tied to a chair when she died, limbs stiff and face twisted. Although the short ten minutes were not enough for her to
atone for your mother's death, at least she received the retribution she deserved." Justin slowly lowered his head, complicated
emotions surging within his heaving chest.
Shannon was dead. He could let the past be forgotten.
He should have clapped his hands in joy, but the satisfaction came too late, and he was not as excited as he imagined he would
be.
"After Shannon died, the court informed Chairman Salvador to claim the body for cremation. After all, he still had not divorced
Shannon and was still her husband legally. But Chairman Salvador refused to come, so the court cremated Shannon's body."
Bella's lips curled into a mocking angle. "They were married, and Shannon bore him two children, but Chairman Salvador was
not even willing to see her off. How lamentable."
"Hmph! If he really went to collect that wicked woman's body, he could give up on his position as Chairman. He might as well be
a garbage collector!"
Nigel's gaze sharpened, and he patted his lap. "No matter what, my grandson has finally repaid his blood debt. This is a joyful
occasion. Matt! Inform the kitchen to add a few more dishes tonight. We will open a bottle of fine wine and celebrate!"
Matt smiled in a good mood. "Yes. I'll instruct them right away."
"Also, send someone out on an errand to check if there are places selling fireworks nearby. Buy some and let's set them off!"
Justin laughed. "Grandpa, that's not necessary. Besides, you live in a secluded place. How could there be any places selling
fireworks nearby? Stop making things difficult for Uncle Matt."
"Uncle Matt, there's a shop selling fireworks on the street five miles away from Grandpa Nigel's villa. I used to frequent that shop
to buy fireworks for Grandpa Nigel. You can send someone to buy some. The shop should still be open at this hour." Bella smiled
sweetly.
Justin glanced at her in surprise, feeling shocked.
Frequent?
When had she done all this? He knew nothing about it!
Matt gave Bella a thumbs-up. "Old Master Nigel, only Ms. Thompson understands you. She's more like your biological
granddaughter than a granddaughter-in-law!"
Upon hearing it, Bella, usually calm and composed, intertwined her fingers shyly. Her face flushed.
"You don't say! Anna treats me like family. The entire Salvador family combined isn't as considerate toward me as she is."
Nigel's ambiguous gaze landed on
Justin's blank face, carrying a hint of complaint. "Brat, do you even know what your grandfather's habits and interests are? Anna
knows all about it. During the three years you were married, Anna came to Crescent Bay to accompany me whenever she was
free. I love setting fireworks and sometimes firecrackers. Whenever I wanted, Anna would do her best to satisfy me.
"This child has kept me company through countless lonely days. It's a pity that I'm one foot in the grave and can't do more for
her... In the future, you must make up for what I owe Anna and treat her better!" "Grandpa..." Justin's breath hitched, and he felt
his throat tighten up.
"Grandpa Nigel, Justin has always been good to me. He's treating me exceptionally well."
Bella was afraid Nigel would overthink, so she quickly reassured him with a mischievous smile. "Moreover, I willingly kept you
company. I learned a lot from you, picking up new skills each tinge I visited. Hehe... You didn't expect it, right?"
Before her voice fell, she suddenly saw a tall shadow before her eyes.
