Chapter 28 Suspicion of Cristina
Hearing Reece’s question, Cristina froze instantly.
She never expected Recce to connect Shyla’s accident with her.
She covered her tracks perfectly. How could Recce know it?
Although her heart was racing, Cristina absolutely couldn’t admit it. She was sure that as long as she didn’t admit it, Reece wouldn’t force her.
“Reece…” Cristina’s eyes were burning with disbelief. She looked heartbroken. “What do you mean?”
Reece realized he was being too harsh. He softened his gaze, and his voice became gentle. “Shyla is dead. I suspect it wasn’t an accident, so I wanted to ask if you know anything.”
“Shyla is dead?” Cristina’s pretty eyes widened in shock. “No way! Didn’t she get taken away by Zayne’s people? Maybe…”
Zayn
Cristina was still trying to shift the blame onto Zayne.
“Zayne wouldn’t do such a stupid thing,” Reece retorted to Cristina’s words.
“Well…” Cristina feigned a look of confusion. “Who else could…”
Then she looked up and met Reece’s cold gaze.
Her heart ached, and her voice trembled immediately. “Reece, what do you mean? Do you suspect me?”
Reece was silent, watching Cristina’s tears fall, and he finally let out a

sigh.
“I didn’t mean that,” he said. He thought that he was probably confused by Julissa’s words and even started to doubt Cristina.
Cristina was a smart and decent girl. How could she do something so dirty?
“I did meet Shyla that day. She came to my villa because I told her I was your girlfriend, and I could protect her. She hoped I could give her a way out, so she trusted me.”
Cristina continued, still muttering, “I don’t know why I’m being framed, and it even made you suspect me.”

“I’m sorry.” Reece raised his hand. He intended to pull Cristina into his arms, but for some reason, he felt that this normal action was awkward
now.
Finally, he just lightly patted her shoulder.
“It’s my fault.”
Cristina finally let out a sigh of relief.
Since there was no evidence, she could explain as she liked.
As long as Reece trusted her, it was not a big deal.
Thinking of this, Cristina wanted to lean into Reece’s embrace. As she moved closer, Reece suddenly stood up, his tall figure under the night light creating a strong sense of dominance.
“It’s getting late. You should go back first.”
Cristina also stood up.

“The Diaz Group has such a serious issue. I want to stay with you,”
“You being here will distract me,” Reece explained patiently. “Listen to me, go home and go to bed early.”
“Alright.”
Cristina sensed the change in Reece’s emotions. Although she felt uncomfortable, what she needed to do now was be considerate and obedient.
Reece always liked docile women.
“Reece, if you need anything, remember to call me. Let me help you.”
Reece smiled gently. “Okay, I know.”
After Cristina left, Reece thought for a long time. He called James, but James didn’t pick up.
He suppressed his anger and sent a message to James.
“Handle Shyla’s car accident as an unexpected event.”
Reece paused for a second, then sent another message.
“Get back quickly, or you’re screwed.”
After sending the messages, there was no reply at all. James worked for Reece for ten years, and he was always available. He never went missing like this before.
Reece became more annoyed.
Unconsciously, he clicked on Julissa’s Twitter ágain.
He didn’t follow her and never read her posts.

But today, for some reason, he suddenly felt interested in it.
He scrolled down, page by page, reading all her posts from the last few.
years.
Julissa’s Twitter seemed to have some strange magic to attract Recce.
“Happy gambling on stones! Big wins!”
“The happiest thing in life is to drink with friends, even though waking up with a headache!”
“Cute plant! I’ll try my best to take care of it!”
“New life goal: save up to go to Dreamland Jewelry Expo in Dordington!”
After the divorce, it seemed she made more posts.
In the pictures, she smiled brightly.
Scrolling down, Reece saw a photo of an unremarkable stone, quietly resting in Julissa’s palm.
She posted a text with it, “Leaving this home of three years, only take this stone with me.”
She didn’t take money or anything from this house, just took this stone?
Reece continued to read. Last year, she didn’t post anything. That was their third year of marriage.
And the year before that, she only posted a few times every few months.
“On a lonely
, even the stars seem so dim.”

“What are you doing? Do you have family with you?”
The post was from the year before last, on New Year’s Eve.
Julissa stayed alone in the villa.
Reece scrolled down to read the posts from their first year of marriage. Julissa loved to share at that time.
“Made a super big meal for my honey, hope he likes it!”
“My honey works so hard every day. I’ll try to learn more cooking ‘skills!”
“My honey is so great, closed another big deal!”
Although she looked happy, her pictures were all about cooking or scattered files on the table.
Reece seemed to see Julissa’s face, from full of joy to melancholy.
She came into his life brightly, then left in disappointment.
Reece lit a cigarette. Cristina didn’t like the smell of it, so he didn’t smoke for a long time.
But now, the smell of the nicotine could calm his mind slightly.
In the lingering smoke, he narrowed his deep eyes.
Suddenly, he really wanted to meet Julissa.
But he didn’t know what to say to her.
He watched her being bullied and humiliated online.
The strange sour feeling welled up in Reece’s heart.

He picked up his phone and wanted to message Julissa. Reece edited the text in the chat box for a long time, then finally sent it.
But the next moment, he found he was blocked by Julissa.
