Matt had frequently heard Nigel describe Bella as a remarkable woman, though he had his doubts. Now, he could witness it for himself.

Bella sure was Wyatt Thompson's daughter, with an inherent air of authority and an intense presence that could make most men defer to her.

"Ms. Thompson, what exactly do you want to know?" Matt's voice trembled as he spoke.

Bella's tone was serious as she asked, "Uncle Matt, other than Grandpa Nigel, you're probably the only one who knows the truth about Grant's crime back then. I need you to tell me how that girl died, and how you and Grandpa Nigel got rid of her body afterward."

Matt was at a loss for words.

"If you refuse to tell me, with the resources of my family, it's only a matter of time before I uncover the truth myself," Bella smirked, her tone carrying an implicit threat. "Once I do, who knows where things will go from there?"

Bella's gaze burned with intensity. "Grandpa Nigel has my complete trust and affection. He means as much to me as my own father. I give you my word that I'll be discreet. I won't let anything happen to him."

After a long hesitation, Matt shut his eyes tightly and finally spoke.
