Ch. 1031..1040
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1031-“I’m your lovely brother! We came out of the same womb. How could you be so cruel to me? My bones are going to break!” Drew pouted.Apart from Asher, no one else could see this cutesy side of Drew.“I am punishing you for not being able to control your mouth. You’d only remember it if it was painful.” “Tsk…I’m just joking. Why don’t you have a sense of humor?” As he spoke, Drew lowered his head and looked at his crotch, humming discontentedly.Men were indeed childish beings who needed to compete and compare everything.“Anyway, Bella stayed in Justin’s ward every day, not eating, sleeping, or even using her phone. Isn’t she bored?” Drew could not help but ask.“No. How could it be boring to watch over someone you love?” Drew’s brows furrowed. “I don’t understand…” “Drew, we always thought you were the smartest among us brothers.However, you’re too dense in terms of love. You still can’t understand what it feels like to love someone wholeheartedly.” 1 Asher’s heart skipped a beat. His thoughts drifted as memories flooded his mind. “Let alone watch over someone; even a picture of them wouldn’t make you feel lonely.” At this moment, footsteps sounded.Asher raised his head and saw Arnold walking toward him, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his white coat.His lips curled into a faint smile, and his eyes curved, looking like a shining ray of sunlight penetrating the darkest corner of Asher’s heart.“Asher.” –“Asher.” In Asher’s mind, Arnold and another figure merged into one.Asher’s body suddenly trembled beneath his neat suit, as if his heart were shot by a bullet coming from a distant sky, catching him off guard.35551 F It was quiet and peaceful in the ward.Bella routinely whispered sweet nothings in Justin’s ear, talking abou frightening moments they experienced together.Arnold had told her that for patients in a comatose state, continuously stimulating their brains by frequently talking to them about memorable events might help them to wake up.As long as there was a little hope, Bella would not give up.“Justin, wake up soon. If you wake up, I’ll tell you a secret…” “Forget it. If you wake up, I’ll tell you anything.” “Wake up, okay? Please…” Bella murmured in Justin’s ears. Her eyes were teary as she felt the urge to cry.She did not want anything else. She only wanted Justin to majestically appear in her life like he always did, becoming her beacon of light.However, the man’s response was a heartbreaking silence.Bella’s eyes welled up with tears, threatening to fall at any time.She held Justin’s hand and spread out his palm. Her fingertips trembled as she traced the words she wanted to tell him but was too shy to say.When the final stroke fell, Bella could not control the emotions she had suppressed for too long. Her tears fell, streaming down her cheeks, which was a heartbreaking sight.Suddenly, she felt Justin’s rough fingertips move ever so slightly.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1032-Chapter 1032 Bella rubbed her eyes hard and stared at Justin’s hand. She thought she was hallucinating due to the exhaustion.
“Justin… Justin?” Bella’s voice trembled and choked as she carefully called out his name.
“Justin… Can you hear my voice? If you can, just move your fingers.
Justin!”
“Bella.” His weak voice was clear and loud in the room where only the two of them were, making Bella excited.!
“Justin! Are you awake? Can you hear me? Justin!” “Bella…” Justin’s pale lips moved as if he were murmuring in his sleep But even in a dream, the only person on his mind was Bella.
“I’m here! I’m here!” Bella quickly responded with a choking voice, her tears streaming down her face in excitement.
The next second, Justin opened his hand slowly, locking their trembling fingers together.
The man who was once strong and formidable, who shielded her from the storm, was not struggling to perform such a simple action.
“Just now… What did you write on my palm?” Bella’s face burned, and her eartips blushed red.
“Don’t write it. I want to hear it from you…” Justin slowly opened his eyes, full of hope.
Bella’s heart thumped, and her facé flushed red, spreading to her snow -white neck.
She was like a blooming red rose. Bella slowly leaned down, pressing against his chest as she said softly, “I love you.” Justin’s eyes shimmered with captivating tears. Every word she said was enough to carve an unforgettable mark on his beating heart.
Finally, he heard her confession again.
Others obtained love by being sincere, but he had to risk his life on top of that.
Bella cleared her throat. She felt so shy and embarrassed that she did not dare to look into Justin’s passionate eyes. She wanted to pres the call bell and summon the doctor and her brothers.
Suddenly, she gasped as she fell into Justin’s embrace.
Her confession gave him a boost of energy. He pulled her into his arms and held her waist tightly with his uninjured arm, speaking with a hoarse voice.
“I thought… I would never hear you say you love me again.” “Hmph! I once laid my heart bare in front of you, but you didn’t know how to cherish it. Am I to blame?” Bella crouched on his chest like a cat, complaining while she sulked.
“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.” Justin rubbed her waist and thought of how she once begged him in tears, crying as she said she loved him. Even being pierced by thousands of arrows would not make him feel more pain than this guilt. He choked back sobs and gasped for breath.
if “I knew you never really forgave me, even you said you loved me.” Love and forgiveness were two different things.
Bella loved him and gave herself to him, but it was not equal to forgiveness. He was not that full of himself to hope she would let go of her resentment toward him.
“Everything is in the past.’ Bella closed her eyes and smiled contentedly. “Justin, I forgive you.
Unknowingly, tears fell down Justin’s face.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1033-Justin went from being injured, undergoing surgery, and getting into a coma, to awakening in less than half a month.
A normal person might not make it on the operation table, and even if they did, it was entirely possible for them to be in a coma for one or two months.
Arnold later concluded that it was because Justin was born with a naturally strong physique! It also had something to do with the fact that his long military life helped him build up resistance to external
injuries.
After the sun rose, Bella accompanied Justin for a comprehensive physical examination.
During the process, Justin was as obedient as a child being led by his mother to the doctor, listening to everything Bella said and not uttering a word no matter how she handled him.
“Have you seen this side of Bella? She is radiating like a goddess!!
feel like praying to her.” Drew clicked his tongue, jealously watching Bella squat to place a blanket over Justin’s thighs on his wheelchair. “Ever since Bella had a man, we have become abandoned dolls in her attic. She won’t spare us a glance anymore.” “There’s nothing you can do. Justin is a handsome and masculine man who showed his vulnerability. Who wouldn’t feel distressed for him?” Ryan finally caught an opportunity to mock Drew. He raised his brows and smiled sarcastically. “Why don’t you just hurt yourself? Like chopping off an arm or a leg. If you’re in a worse state than Justin, maybe Bella’s attention will return to you.” “Fuck! I am Bella’s brother! Since we were kids, we were close enough to wear the same pants and sleep under the same blanket. I made toys for her, tied her shoelaces, cleaned up her leftovers, and took the blame for her whenever she got us into trouble!” Drew got angrier as he spoke. “Who does Justin think he is? We have cared for Bella like our own daughter, and he snatched her away from us. Now, we have to compete for attention with that bastard. Why?!” “Because Bella loves him.” Ryan lazily yawned. “Bella’s brother, you’d better accept this fact soon. After experiencing so many hardships, nobody could separate them anymore.” “Drew, you’re not that young anymore. Stop acting so recklessly.” Asher and Arnold walked toward them together. The gentle and radiant sunlight cast a soft golden glow around this pair of outstanding figures.
“Mr. Hoffman is right. One day, Justin will become your brother-in-law unless Bella stays single for the rest of her life, because you probably won’t be having another brother-in-law.” Although Asher and Arnold were both men, Drew and Ryan could not help but think they looked good together.
Arnold was wild, charming, and feminine, while Asher was elegant, reserved, handsome, and tough.
It was a pity that Arnold was a man. If he were a woman, they would be a match made in heaven.
“Just wait for it!” Drew’s face twisted in anger. “Justin must marry into our family instead and bear our name!” “Sure!” Ryan agreed on behalf of his best friend. “Your family has nine children and three mistresses. If Chairman Thompson could support so many people, he wouldn’t mind Justin joining in.” Arnold snorted. “Are you that eager to marry off your best friend?” Upon hearing that, Asher turned to look at the person beside him.
As if they were in sync, Arnold looked at him at that moment, and their eyes met.
Asher’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned his gaze away with a calm expression.
However, his bobbing throat still exposed a hint of nerves.
“When Justin marries into our family, I’ll make him do all the house chores, and he has to pay respect to us every day. Their child must be a Thompson!” Drew yelled.
“You’re underestimating Justin. Not just chores. You should make him massage your legs and wash your feet!” Ryan excitedly said, as if he could not wait to witness Justin’s married life.On the other side, Bella had accompanied Justin to finish his check- ups, and she wheeled him over to where the group was.
“What are you guys laughing at? Are you talking about us?” Bella suspiciously glanced at Drew and Ryan.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1034-Fortunately, Axel did not come, or they might have caused a ruckus by now.
“Mr. Salvador is the apple of Bella’s eyes now. How would I dare to overstep?” Drew said sourly.
“That’s enough, Drew.” Asher rolled his eyes.
Bella sighed helplessly. “Drew, I can already imagine what situation your future wife will be in! Will you act like a jealous fool every time
she glances at another man?” “Jealous? Hmph, I’ll make her bedridden for three days!” The crowd was speechless.
Justin watched the siblings banter and could not help but smile, feeling infected by the light and cheerful atmosphere.
In the past, he would be jealous. But now he knew that this was how the Thompsons interacted with each other. They only said those words because they cared for Bella too much.
What he needed to do was get used to it, understand it, and blend in.
It was said that people in love lose themselves in it. Now, Justin felt as if he was on the way to losing himself.
“Everyone is here today.” The crowd turned around and saw Edward and Camilla holding hands, walking toward them sweetly like a newlywed couple.
“We’ve finally made it. It’s great to see everyone together.” Camilla smiled with relief when she saw Justin’s face, which gradually regained some color under her sister’s care. “Mr. Salvador, how are you feeling?” “Great. I could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and take Bella home.” Justin’s attitude was polite and humble.
“Tomorrow? Are you crazy?” Bella put her hand on his sturdy shoulder and pinched it with a huff. ” The doctor said that although you had a fast recovery, you’re still not fit for discharge yet.
You have to stay for another week at least!” Justin covered her hand with his and rubbed it slightly. “Maxwell is hiding in Savrow. I need to hurry back and find him. I don’t want it to drag on any longer. We also need to interrogate Winston and expose Shannon.
With so many important things waiting for me, my health is the last concern.” They did not have overly intimate gestures, but everyone thought that even their souls were intertwined.
“You can’t overexert yourself. Health is the foundation of everything!
You only think about those things, but have you ever thought about how I feel?” She was distressed.
Justin’s throat was bitter with guilt, and he held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
He knew what she wanted to say without her having to put it into words.
“Justin, it’s never too late to get revenge. You should focus on recuperating first,” Edward advised.
3/3 Justin’s lips curled in gratitude. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. President.
Also, thank you for giving me your blood. I owe you one. I will repay you tenfold.” “Haha. There’s no need to be so formal now. I’ll consider it repaid if you just call me Edward!” Outside of politics, Edward was like a different person in front of his family-straightforward and down-toearth.
Camilla nudged Justin, who had not yet reacted.
Then, Justin’s clear voice rang out in the hallway. “Okay, Edward.” Bella pursed her rosy lips as she blushed.
“Tsk, give him an inch, and he’ll take a mile.” Drew rolled his eyes at Justin.
“It’s not impossible if you want to leave.” Asher calmly said, “For now, you can’t let your other family members know about your situation. I’ve arranged for you to stay in the Thompson Hospital’s VIP ward. It has a nice environment and is discreet.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1035-“Bella, don’t worry too much. It’s only five hours to reach Savrow from Terranova. We have all the medical infrastructure on the private plane, so there won’t be an issue.” “Yeah, and you have a famous doctor like me on board. What are you scared of?” Arnold raised his chin arrogantly.
Ryan said, “Even if you’re famous, are you more famous than Bella?” “What do you mean?” Arnold frowned.
“Bella is Dr. Brown. Are you still not aware of it?” Arnold stared at Bella’s calm face in shock. He then turned to look at the others, who were indifferent and unaffected.
So, everyone knew except for him?
He has been bragging about himself in front of the miracle doctor Arnold turned around stiffly, supporting himself against the wall. He had his back to the crowd, head lowered.
Ryan scratched his head. “Hey, what’s up with him?” Drew crossed his arms. “Don’t know. Perhaps my sister’s multiple identities had sent him into shock.” The next day, Bella, Justin, and the others boarded the Thompson family’s private plane and headed off to Savrow.
Camilla and Edward could not go with them. They had to return to Sentania immediately.
The work in Sentania was piling up, and the chief secretary had been ringing non-stop. The president and his wife’s personal schedule had taken up too much time. For the couple in positions of power and influence, time was the most luxurious commodity.
They traveled light. As Bella was still worried, she asked Drew to come along so they could take care of each other on the flight.
On the plane, Arnold was napping, as he was not a morning person.
The others got together with serious expressions.
“Justin, Asher said you guessed who Maxwell works for. Who is behind the scenes instructing him to kill both of you?” Bella had suppressed it for too long and finally asked.
Asher and Ryan looked grim, waiting for his answer.
Justin’s brows slightly furrowed, and he stared deeply into Bella’s eyes. “Bella, will you believe me if I say it? I’m afraid you wouldn’t be willing to accept that answer.” “Was it Christopher?” Bella’s gaze was dark.
Asher and Ryan were stunned!
Justin’s pupils contracted. “Bella, how did you know?” “When you were unconscious, Edward and Camilla talked to me for a long time. They suspect Christopher was secretly in contact with Maxwell. After all, when he was in Sentania, he had close connections to Terranova too.” Bella immediately told them about what Edward and Camilla had experienced over the years.
“Fuck! It really was that slimy bastard! I knew it! He just looks deceitful!” Ryan gritted his teeth indignantly.
3/3 “I don’t understand. If it really was Christopher, I could understand him trying to kill you. But Asher had no grudge against him. Why did Christopher target him too?” Bella’s heart felt cold, and her hand clenched into a fist.
“That’s only on the surface. I have a big feud with him.” Asher’s gaze was chilly as his lips curled. “In private, it was not the first time I clashed with him, but it was only a verbal conflict. We didn’t get violent.” Bella’s beautiful eyes were full of shock.
She totally had no idea when such things had happened between Christopher and her brother.
“I’ve noticed the little tricks Christopher did behind the scenes early 1. Although he did it because he liked you, I disdain those actions. Therefore, I was strongly against you being together and warned him not to approach you.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1036-Justin suddenly felt his heart sink.
After several encounters, he realized that his understanding of Christopher far surpassed that of his less insightful companion.
While Bella viewed Christopher as her childhood friend, he did not see Bella in the same way. Justin knew that Christopher was the kind of person who nitpicked over every detail, held grudges and sought vengeance relentlessly. In other words, he was petty!
Cross him once, and he would make your entire family pay for it.
It was not an exaggeration, because Christopher was genuinely capable of doing it.
“If you have to rely on schemes and tricks to attain love, then that love is no longer pure. It has lost its most primal and sacred essence!
Asher’s gaze held a mix of paternal love and worry as he observed Bella. “The idea of you associating with someone like him keeps me restless all day and night. He has no boundaries with anyone and will use any means necessary to get what he wants. We have no idea if he might someday turn those methods against you. Bella, you’re my dearest sister and my lifeline. I can’t risk your happiness. I can’t afford to lose.” Asher’s heartfelt words brought tears to Bella’s eyes. “Ash…” Asher gently ran his hand through Bella’s hair, then turned to Justin and asked, “Mr. Salvador, since you already suspected Christopher’s involvement during your time on the South Island, why didn’t you inform me then? Perhaps we could’ve found a solution sooner and caught him red-handed.” 2/4 Justin let out a long sigh, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. “Although I detest Christopher, this is purely speculation. No matter how reasonable my suspicions seemed, they were merely suspicions.
Without evidence, I can’t hastily accuse him of being the mastermind behind it all.” Asher felt a mix of indistinct emotions welling inside him, his admiration for Justin increasing.
This was precisely why, despite Christopher’s numerous efforts for Bella, Asher always felt that Christopher could not measure up to Justin.
Despite Christopher’s outward charm, his personality was rotten to the core.
However, despite many shortcomings, Justin’s soul remained pure and untainted.
“Besides, Christopher is someone Bella values deeply.” Justin concluded, deciding not to elaborate further.
Bella felt a sharp pang in her heart as if a sharp blade had pierced through her throat. “So… Was the reason why you didn’t say anything back then because you were afraid I’d be angry?” “Yeah.” Justin admitted with a sheepish smile, his charming eyes reflecting a hint of embarrassment. “I was being too timid. That’s not at all like a man should be, right? Initially, I planned to investigate him promptly after leaving South Island, but… I almost didn’t make it back alive. I shouldn’t have been so reckless.” How pathetic.
In Bella’s presence, this once dignified man seemed to crumble, 3/4 fearing even the slightest misstep might upset her and undo all the goodwill he had painstakingly regained.
“You’re so foolish, Justin. So foolish.” Bella murmured, her eyelashes glistening with tears. Her heart was so heavy that she could barely find words to express her feelings.
Recalling the countless times she had argued fiercely with Justin about Christopher, Bella was flushed with anger. She could not help but find it all incredibly absurd.
Luckily, Justin’s love for her remained steadfast.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have likely been driven away by now.
The plane flew smoothly toward Savrow, the cabin enveloped in silence. Ryan, who was exhausted, had already drifted off to sleep.
Bella leaned against Justin, their heads resting side by side. He gently squeezed her hand, feeling its warmth and tenderness, which melted his heart.
Suddenly, Justin’s expression hardened as he sensed something amiss with Bella’s left pinky.
“Bella, what happened to your pinky? Did it get injured?” Bella’s breath hitched suddenly, her body trembling in his embrace.
“Bella, what’s wrong?” Justin’s concern grew as he felt her distress.
Should she tell him?
Should she tell him that she was the girl who fought alongside him on the battlefield in Kridor years ago, dragging his wounded body back to the camp, and that she was the one who lost a finger as a result?
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1037-After a brief internal struggle, Bella decided not to mention anything about the incident.
Seeing Justin now, filled with guilt and regret toward herself, Bella was glad he felt remorseful for his past actions toward her. However, his repeated attempts to atone, risking his life and giving everything to make up for his past mistakes, meant more than enough to Bella.
She still wanted him to light her life up like a star. Besides, she did not want to burden him with any more guilt.
This was her subtle way of loving someone.
“Bella, are you okay?” Justin’s voice was laced with concern as he noticed her pale complexion, his warm hand gently grasping her shoulder.
“I’m fine.” Bella looked up, smiling brightly at him. “What could possibly be wrong? My finger was injured when I was climbing trees as a kid. It’s nothing serious. Besides, it doesn’t affect my daily life.” Despite her assurance, Justin still felt deeply concerned, gently holding her pinky. “You have so many older brothers. How come none of them took better care of you?” “My brothers do take good care of me, but no one was able to control a little troublemaker like me. Hehe!” Bella pouted playfully, her lips tempting him irresistibly, Unable to resist the temptation, Justin pecked her lips lightly.
“In the future, you won’t need to trouble your brothers anymore. You have me, and I’ll take care of you and protect you.” Bella blushed instantly at his words. He watched her sensitive reaction, and his breath deepened slightly. His throat rolled uneasily as he was captivated by her desire-filled eyes.
“Oh, by the way!” Bella quickly retrieved a dainty little box from her coat pocket and placed it in Justin’s hand. “Here. A gift from Ash.” “Asher? For me?” Justin was surprised, feeling deeply touched.
Bella blushed as she nodded gently. “Yes, you were still unconscious then. I thought about it and decided it would be best to give it to you personally after you wake up.” She was meticulous by nature, so when it came to giving gifts, s made sure to package them nicely. Hence, she chose a delicate bla velvet jewelry box.
Justin’s emotions were complex, a bittersweet sensation rising within him.
It had been a long time since he had received a gift.
Back then, no one remembered these insignificant anniversaries and holidays aside from Bella. No one cared about him this much.
But Justin had been blind to his blessings. He had someone who loved him wholeheartedly, yet he always regarded Bella as a nuisance, constantly wanting to rid himself of her and run away from her.
“Go ahead, open it,” Bella urged, leaning against him.
Justin pursed his lips and carefully opened the box. Upon opening the box, his gaze froze in an instant.
It was the cross necklace that Asher always wore!
“Isn’t this your brother’s personal belonging? Is he okay with giving it to me?” “Hmm? Ash never shows this necklace to anyone. How did you know that he wears it?” Bella keenly picked up on the crucial information.
Justin frowned, his expression a mix of confusion and wry amusement.
During that incident, when Asher barged into the conference room and got into a physical fight with him, this necklace popped out of his shirt collar. The exquisite craftsmanship caught Justin’s eye the moment he saw it. It was clearly handmade, and coupled with the intense situation, it left a lasting impression on him.
“It’s beautiful, very delicate. I really like it.” “It’s not worth much, but it holds deep significance for my brother. By giving this to you, it’s his way of showing his approval.” Bella’s eyes sparkled when she saw that Justin genuinely liked the gift.
As they came to the present, after all the twists and turns, she was grateful that her true love was still with her.
Even more so, she was grateful that Justin had single-handedly managed to change her brothers’ perception of him. She had thought her brothers would never forgive him in this lifetime, but fortunately, everything was moving in a good direction.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1038-Bella’s sole concern now was for Wyatt.
While deeply affectionate to his daughter, Wyatt remained unyielding toward anyone beyond his family and loved ones.
Wyatt had blacklisted Justin long ago, and it would not be easy to change his perception of Justin and lift him from that blacklist.
But that’s fine. They could take it slow.
As long as their hearts were united, no one could stop them from being together.
Bella delicately placed the necklace around Justin’s neck, her slender fingers inadvertently brushing against his muscular chest.
The well-defined contours of his muscles evoked countless fantasj with just a touch.
“How should I thank your brother?” Justin asked softly, his fingers slowly tightening around her waist.
Justin felt bittersweet.
Previously, when he held her, he had savored the feeling of her soft flesh around her waist.
It was evident how she had spent her days when he was unconscious. She probably had not eaten properly, let alone rested, and had become so thin that she was almost like a skeleton.
“There’s no need… Mmm…” As Bella’s waist, tightened, the man instantly drew her into a warm embrace.
Justin fervently kissed her, swallowing up her unspoken words, while he shamelessly explored every corner of her mouth.
After passionately kissing for a while, he finally parted his lips from hers, his gaze fixed on her sparkling lips, his eyes intoxicated. With a husky and sensual voice, he softly murmured, “Bella, you taste so sweet.” Bella was dizzy from the kiss, her ears turning soft and red as she clung to his sturdy shoulders. “Don’t get carried away. There are other people on this plane, too.” “They’re all asleep, so don’t worry.” Suddenly, Justin tightened his grip around her slender waist again, his lips lingering on the burning edge of her earlobe. His breath grew heavier. “I’ll go easy on you.” E-Easy?
What was that jerk up to again?
Bella was alarmed, and the man sealed her lips with another kiss, slowly pressing down on her supple body.
Arnold slept deeply, his slumber sweet and peaceful, almost drooling from his mouth.
Suddenly, he jerked awake, as if from a nightmare. His body sank abruptly until Asher, who was sitting next to him, swiftly caught him.
“Um… How long have I been asleep?” Arnold rubbed his eyes.
“About three hours.” Asher’s gaze fixed on Arnold’s dazed expression, his narrowed eyes hinting at amusement. “You dreamed about something?” “Yeah. I dreamed that we were arguing, and you scolded me, which woke me up.” Arnold stretched lazily!
“But seriously, is it difficult for you?” Asher’s tone grew serious.
“Well, as a doctor, I’m usually quite serious, but whenever I see you, it’s hard for me to stay that way.” Suddenly, Arnold leaned in close to Asher, his fox-like eyes shimmering with a teasing glint, pulling a thread of playfulness from his gaze.
“So, Ash, who do you think is to blame for this? Isn’t it all your fault?” “Stop it.” Asher looked away, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1039-“Why are you talking like it’s your first day meeting me? Don’t you know that Arnold and women are never reasonable ?” Arnold’s eyes shimmered with a seductive charm as he scoffed lightly.
“Well, there’s no need to make distinctions. As far as I’m concerned, the only difference between you and women is solely in the physical aspect.” Asher continued teasing with a rare lightness in his tone, “If you were a girl, I might even find you cute.”
“Am I not cute now?” Arnold’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Well, you are cute but unloved.” “Fuck!” Arnold erupted in frustration. “There are so many people who chased after me that they could fill the Pacific Ocean. How am I considered unloved?!” “Thanks for helping with Justin.” Arnold froze momentarily, blinking rapidly in surprise.
“Thanks for helping out. It was because of you that Justin was a to wake up from his coma.” Asher took a deep breath. “You saved Justin, which means you saved Bella, too. Justin isn’t the only one who owes you a debt of gratitude.
I owe you one, too.” “Every time someone mentions this, get infuriated!” Arnold’s brow furrowed as he vented his frustration. “Your precious little sister is a renowned doctor herself! Instead of letting her operate on her own man, you dragged me all the way here, making a fool out of me in front of my idol! And to top it off, not a single one of you bothered to inform me about her! Is it fun to watch me make a fool of myself? Am I that thick-skinned to you?!” As Arnold reflected on his days living under the same roof as his idol and constantly bickering with her, he felt like throwing up.
ta He regretted it so much that he wanted to bang his head against a wall.
Asher watched as Arnold grew more agitated with each word, so lively and spirited. He was practically a male version of his little sister.
Unable to hold back, a glint of amusement glinted in Asher’s eyes. “I never had any intention of teasing you. I had you come here because I’ve always believed that your medical skills are no less impressive than Bella’s. You both simply excel in different areas.” D-Did Asher just praise him?!
This man, usually as aloof and restrained as a monk, hardly sparing him a few words, was actually praising him today?!
Arnold blushed and bit his lip.
“In any case, I owe you one for this. I’ll make sure to repay you whatever you want in return.” “How do you plan to repay me? With your body?” Arnold raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
“Arnold Larson,” Asher called out his full name with a hint of reproach.
in his tone.
Suddenly, the man stretched out his long legs and unabashedly straddled Asher’s thigh!
“Hey!” Asher’s heart pounded as he exclaimed in surprise.
The two faced each other with only a few inches between them, their breaths and heartbeats resonating clearly.
Arnold’s eyes shimmered with a radiant glow. His eye color was truly captivating, reminiscent of the eyes of a cat.
“Didn’t you mention repaying the favor?” In the next instant, Arnold wrapped his arms around Asher’s neck, his lips moist and tantalizingly close. “Let me kiss you, and we’ll call it even for what you owe me.” As he finished talking, he seized Asher’s lips in a kiss before he could respond.
His warm tongue cunningly slipped in. His breath was scorching, and he deepened the kiss gradually.
In the boundless sky, the plane soared through the clouds.
Lost in reverie, Asher’s hand, with visible veins, instinctively wrapped around Arnold’s waist as he peered out the window.
Amidst the white clouds, he envisioned a magnificent fireworks display, exploding and blossoming across the sky.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1040-After over five hours, the private jet smoothly landed in Savrow.Upon their arrival at the airport, the medical personnel, arranged in advance by Asher, rushed over, ready to take Justin to the hospital.“No. I don’t need to go to the hospital,” Justin refused decisively.“H-How could you do this?!” Bella was infuriated, and her eyes reddened. “You’re going back on your word!We agreed that you’d go to the hospital for treatment.You’re such a liar!” Justin sighed helplessly and approached, embracing Bella tightly. “I’m sorry, Bella. You can hit me or scold me. But please… Don’t ignore me.” “I’ll ignore you! You liar! Hmph!” Bella nestled in his arms, refusing look at him.Asher and the others could only smile wryly.It felt like they were witnessing a quarrel between two elementary school kids, and it could not be more childish.Seeing that Bella was genuinely upset, Justin paused for a moment. His expression turned serious. “Bella, the most important thing now is to interrogate Winston.” Upon hearing Winston’s name, Bella’s eyes dimmed.“Right now, the news of Winston’s return has not reached Shannon yet. As long as she remains uninformed, she won’t have the opportunity to disrupt our plans or devise any countermeasures. That’s why we must quickly obtain his confession and make him admit, in person, that Shannon hired him to kill Linny.” “But will he admit to it?” Bella was distraught, her delicate brows furrowing tightly. “Murder is a capital offense. He knows there’s no escaping it. Confessing about it won’t benefit him or reduce his sentence. Besides, if he wants to spite us before he dies, he’ll take the blame for Shannon. We’re powerless against Shannon, so it’s as if we’re letting him vent his anger.” Upon hearing this, the others present could not help but feel disheartened at her words!Bella’s analysis was spot on. Criminals like Winston, who were utterly wicked and desperate, had no conscience left to speak. There was hope of him coming forward as a witness.“W-What should we do then? Is there really nothing else we can against that jerk?” Ryan complained indignantly.Justin focused intently, contemplating the situation. Suddenly, a smirk appeared on his lips. “Well, in that case, we must ensure that Shannon is made aware that Winston is currently in our custody.” Bella, quick-witted as ever, immediately caught on to Justin’s underlying message. She hugged him tightly, her chest pressing against him as she playfully teased, “Wow! You’re so wicked! Where did you come up with all these schemes? I guess you’re really a jerk, like I always said!” Justin found himself moved by this affectionate gesture, his eyes tinged with emotion and his voice husky as he spoke, “Darling, next time you praise me, you don’t have to be so subtle about it.” The three other men could not bear witnessing their display of affection any longer.Goodness. Are they showing off their relationship or what?!“Ahem… Um, well, while you guys handle Winston, I’ll excuse myself first. I’ve been away from home for too many days. My wife is waiting for me. I have to head back home and spend some time with her.” Ryan waved and stepped back, preparing to exit as he spoke, “I’ll take the lead!You guys can do the rest! Justice will ultimately prevail over evil! Come on! We can do this!” And in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.The others stood there in silence.“Um… My family’s hospital has a pretty reputable neurology department. Why doesn’t Mr. Salvador go there for a check-up? Yo might even get a discount if you mention my name.” Arnold crossed his arms and lightly bumped into Asher.Asher, standing tall and straight like a tree, glanced at him calmly, allowing him to make his subtle gestures.Bella and Justin nodded in agreement. “That sounds like a plan!”
