'Could it be? Could Grant have harbored such cunning at such a young age?' Bella didn't want to turn this into a conspiracy theory, yet a doubt had lingered in her mind for two years.

How had a fifteen-year-old boy managed to rescue Justin from a kidnapper's lair? Even for an adult, such a feat would have been nearly impossible, let alone for a child.

Moreover, the kidnapper, Jeremy Mateo, was known in the underworld as a ruthless

criminal with a reputation stained by blood. The idea that Grant could have rescued

someone from under Jeremy's nose was preposterous. If Bella had been in Grant's place, she doubted she would have made it out of that lair alive.

Returning from her thoughts, Bella quickly pulled out her phone and dialed her older brother.

As soon as the call connected, she burst out, "Ax, can you get me a case file? I want to take a look."
