Chapter 2403

“Ralph, spill it!” Bella shot up from her chair, her emotions on edge.

“Well, Dr. Wagner has much of a dark background and his income is not exactly normal,* Ralph replied.

Bella raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“I looked into Dr. Wagner’s assets and income sources. While he earns a high salary, his finances are a mess. His son’s gambling addiction and his wife’s serious illness have drained most of the family’s wealth. Other than a house and a car, their assets have been nearly wiped out by his son.”

He continued, “But two days ago, he scheduled a bone marrow transplant for his wife and paid off her hospitalization fees, all at once, totaling over $500,000. On top of that, his son owed over $3,000,000 in high- interest loans, and Dr. Wagner managed to pay that off too.”

Bella had her phone on speaker. Steven, listening nearby, shook his head in frustration and exclaimed, “That son of his is such a disgrace! He’s beyond saving. Let’s just hope karma gets him in his next life!”

Ralph continued, “Given Dr. Wagner’s current financial situation, there’s no way he could afford all that on his own. It raises a huge question mark.”
