Ch. 1091..1100

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1091-Bella walked arm in arm with Justin, pouting and teasing, “You’re quite daring, aren’t you?” “If I don’t take risks, how can I win you over?” Justin responded with a tender gaze, his voice filled with affection.

“The three things Wyatt despises the most are having his women, daughters, or both taken away from him.” Justin remained silent.

“Hmph! One day, you’ll see what I mean. He holds grudges even

longer than me. He won’t forget what happened earlier. He won’t let you off easily either.” Suddenly, Bella’s tone became serious. “By the way, have you prepared everything?” “Of course. I wouldn’t dare to neglect anything arranged by vely wife,” the man replied softly.

Bella blushed. Just as she was about to retort, she noticed so standing a few steps away, glaring at her with eyes akin to those furious deity.

It was Zoe.

Upon sighting this woman, Bella felt uneasy.

Although Bella had accepted Justin and was willing to trust him.

without dwelling on past grievances, the lingering rumors of his involvement with Zoe still pricked at Bella’s conscience like a thorn.

“Justin, I’ve been eagerly anticipating your arrival.” Zoe instantly switched to a charming demeanor, wearing a bright smile that exuded innocence and allure.

Her voice was sweet and coy.

“Why were you waiting for me?” Justin’s cold gaze bore into Zoe. His expression was so serious that it unsettled her.

Nevertheless, she boldly continued, shamelessly spinning a tale. “We were about to enter together earlier, but when you noticed Ms. Thompson’s presence, you went to speak with her. That’s why I’ve been waiting for you. Justin… Did I do anything wrong to displease you?” In an instant, Justin’s dark eyes grew even darker, his expression turning so grim that it could crush anyone.

Zoe’s heart raced with anxiety, but now she could not care less. As long as she could break them apart, she dared to say or do anything vile!

Bella’s gaze flickered as she loosened her grip on Justin’s hand str However, just as her emotions began to waver, he interlocked his fingers with hers, not even sparing a glance at Zoe. He swiftlys past her and coldly uttered, “Leave.” Zoe was overwhelmed with shame and anger, trembling with resentment. Her face flushed like a tomato. ‘He told me to leave… How could he?! He did it right in front of Bella, too! That despicable woman!’ Chopper 1001 She glared fiercely at the couple’s departing backs as anger surged from her heart, fueling her resolve.

Upon entering the event area, Bella immediately shook off Justin’s hand. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she turned her face away, refusing to look at him out of frustration.

“What’s wrong? Are you upset? Bella! Where are you going?!” Seeing Bella walk away without looking back, Justin hurriedly followed her, his heart filled with anxiety..

The two of them eventually came to a secluded corridor with no one around.

Bella finally stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were slightly red, and her rose-like lips seemed to lose some of their luster.

“Why are you following me? Go and meet with your dearest woman, SShe’s waiting for you.” SSensing that Bella must be angry about Zoe, Justin felt a mix of ffrustration, helplessness, and urgency. He stepped forward and cambraced her from behind. “Bella, she’s just spouting make yyou believe them. She’s doing this to drive us apart. Plea bobilieve anything she says. I’ve never asked her to wait for Bella tited to break free from his embrace, but her attempts fotildesso she eventually relented.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1092-Actually, Bella did not believe a single word of Zoe’s nonsense, but she felt frustrated.

“I understand. I get it all. I know you still hold a grudge against me for what happened at the hotel. I know you’re still upset about it.” Justin recalled how he fell for someone else’s trap and caused Bella so much heartache. He could not bear the agony of it. “It’s all my fault. I was too stupid and naive to let someone else manipulate me like that. It’s all my fault. You can hit me, but please don’t ignore me.”

His love for her was always so humble..

Besides Bella, no one else could humble the proud Justin to such humility.

“You’re smart enough.” Bella sighed, turning away from his embrace to meet his gaze directly. “Even if you were trying to cheat on me, you wouldn’t be dumb enough to leave any evidence behind and attract s attention from the media, would you?” Justin chuckled wryly. “Bella, please don’t mock me.” “Last time, you mentioned that you lost your composure beca me.” “Someone sent me several photos of a woman who looked almos identical to you being taken into a hotel by another man. It completely threw me off. I was worried you might be in trouble, so I rushed over.” “Damn it! Do I look like the kind of woman who casually goes to hotels with random men?! Can’t you think a bit more logically?” Bella exclaimed in frustration and smacked him on the head.

“Yeah. Looking back at it now, I realize how dumb I was, blindly trusting the sender despite the glaring loopholes in the situation Justin rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

“Later, you said that all the photos on your phone got deleted. At that time, I was too angry to believe you, but afterward, my brother and I discussed it, and he even tried it out. It’s indeed possible to manipulate the photos on your phone.

We just never did it ourselves.” Now, there is only one thing that they cannot explain.

Who was the woman who looked almost identical to her? Bella was dying of curiosity, wanting to meet her right away.

“I’ll ask Ash and Drew to try and find out about that woman. With a face that beautiful, how could she possibly hide away and avoid everyone?” Bella pouted her rosy lips, subtly praising herself.

“Thanks, Bella. Thank you for believing in me.” Justin pulled her into an embrace, his breath growing hea Eventually, unable to resist his desire, he sealed their conne a kiss. His large hand then gently supported her slender wa spun her around and pressed her against the wall.

“Mmm… Alright…” Bella found herself breathless from his kiss, her heart in turmoil. With her hands pressed against his sturdy chest, she pushed him away with force. “My makeup is all messed up. There’s still business to attend to later.”, 3/4 The news of Wyatt’s arrival at the horse racing event with Celeste spread like wildfire throughout the venue.

Some bored, rich kids even placed bets on this trivial matter, only to be surprised and lose their money.

Meanwhile, Shannon sat in the audience, incessantly refreshing her Twitter feed.

Seeing Bella and Celeste trending, with everyone praising their beauty and outfits, she seethed with jealousy and frustration. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and her screen was nearly crushed in her grip.

There was no mention of any scandals involving Celeste anymore.

Instead, there was a flurry of admiration for her beauty, with some even suggesting that she outshone them all.

It had been nearly three decades. Shannon had used every means to torment Celeste. She even married Gregory and became the esteemed wife of a wealthy tycoon But why, in the end he still have to be overshadowed by that woman?

She refused to accept it!

Perhaps due to heightened emotions, Shannon felt the urge to u again, her legs tightly clenched together as her body trembled embarrassment.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Gregory noticed her discomfort and asked softly.

“N-No…” “If you’re feeling unwell, I’ll have Paul escort you home.” Gregory withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent.

Suddenly, a surge of anger rose within Shannon.

So, this man regarded her as nothing but a disposable tool, ready to discard her as soon as she served her purpose.

But Shannon refused to leave. She insisted on standing her ground until the end.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1093-Just then, another notification popped up on Shannon’s phone.

Topping the trending list once again were Justin and Bella, and the buzz was only getting stronger by the minute.

It was undeniable that whenever this former couple made a joint appearance, they attracted massive attention, stirring up significant public discourse.

It was clear that these two were a formidable duo. If they were placed

in the business arena together, their combined prowess would be unstoppable.

However, Gregory’s expression was far from pleasant.

“Well, Chairman Thompson really did hit the jackpot with Ms.

Thompson, didn’t he? With her around, everyone else just fades into the background. She’ll always be the center of attention wherever she goes.” Shannon sneered as she looked at the top trends, her words la with sarcasm. “Considering how Justin and Bella flaunt their relationship, Greg, you should seize this golden opportunity today an propose a marriage alliance to Chairman Thompson on their behalf.” At this moment, the Hoffmans had already taken their seats, and Mrs.

Hoffman happened to occupy a seat across the aisle from Shannon.

Consequently, Claire could clearly hear every word Shannon uttered, causing her to furrow her brows.

The remarks from Shannon were truly repulsive.

A matriarch like her in the Salvador household was akin to a centuries- old curse. The Salvadors had managed to endure over the years solely due to the unwavering resilience of multiple generations. The prospect of dealing with Shannon in the future, particularly with Zoe’s determination to marry Justin, was already giving her a headache.

Justin, whom Claire had watched grow up, was undeniably an outstanding child.

However, the intricate relationships within the Salvador household made Justin feel like nothing more than an illegitimate child. Despite his current position of authority in the Salvador Corporation, Justin was not the favored one. Besides, with his elder half-brother still alive, there was uncertainty about how long Chairman Salvador would continue to support Justin.

As for the prospective marriage, Claire, as Zoe’s mother, did not hold much hope for it.

Considering Justin’s relatively young age for a second marriage, he seemed mismatched with Zoe.

“Yeah, Dad. Mom’s words do make sense.” Bethany chimed in, adding her own mockery. “Look at them. Just and Ms.

Thompson are practically inseparable. Ms. Thompson seems eager to join our family, too. Justin seems ready to empty our coffers for her dowry. It’s obvious they’re smitten with each other.

Dad, maybe it’s best not to play the villain here. Just let them have each other.” 374 Having been part of the Salvadors for so long, Bethany had a good sense of Gregory’s temperament. Supporting Justin and Bella at this point will only further exacerbate the situation.

Gregory kept staring at those photos, observing Justin’s overly cautious and humble demeanor in front of Bella. The more he looked, the more infuriated he became. Even his gums began to ache from the frustration.

“No matter what, my son will never remarry a woman whom he divorced. I will never allow such an embarrassing situation to occur! So what if she’s Wyatt Thompson’s daughter? My son can’t be easily.

manipulated by any woman!” With those words, everything became crystal clear.

Shannon and Bethany exchanged a knowing look, their expressions revealing a smirk of satisfaction.

At that moment, the Iversons entered the VIP area. James, the CEO, and his wife, Coral, were busy greeting guests inside the venue.

Christopher and Astrid accompanied Lance into the room.

“Mr. Hoffman, it’s been a long time.” Lance merely waved h not approaching Logan for a handshake.

Although both of them were heads of their respective families, La was the junior among the two and should have taken the initiative t approach first as a matter of courtesy.

Logan, too, did not stand up, only responding indifferently. “Indeed. It has been a while.” The subtle power play between the prominent figures unfolded.

The divisions between the families were evident, with an undercurrent of mounting tension.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1094-“Chris, I heard that your Uncle Wyatt and the others have arrived. Go. out and greet them. We must show hospitality to our guests and not neglect our friends,” urged Lance, intentionally speaking loudly enough for both the Hoffmans and Salvadors to hear.

His words implied that, apart from the Thompsons, none of the other guests were deserving of the Iversons’ courtesy.

He did not even consider that the other two families were worth his attention.

Both Gregory and Logan’s expressions darkened, creating a tense and awkward situation.

“Yes, Dad.” Christopher turned to the door and adjusted his glasses. His fair and delicate face took on a grim and somber expression.

He had also learned that Bella and Justin had entered the event together, which put Zoe in an embarrassing situation.

Perhaps during the horse racing event, Bella and Justin would eve take the opportunity to reconcile publicly.

If that were to happen, things would become quite troublesome.

Christopher could not allow such a thing to occur, especially not on such an important occasion!

As he came to a secluded corridor, Christopher stood with his back to the light and dialed his secretary’s, Taylor’s, number.

The other end of the phone immediately answered, “Yes, Mr. Iverson?” “Is everything sorted with the media?” Christopher’s pale lips parted slightly with a cold, indifferent tone.

“It’s all set. The press releases are ready, too. Once you give the green light, all major media outlets and social platforms nationwide will announce the news.” “Great.” and Christopher’s eyes narrowed with satisfaction as he smirked. “Later on, we’ll release news suggesting tension between the Salvadors the Thompsons, while highlighting the close ties between the Iversons and the Hoffmans, hinting at potential collaboration. I’ve already arranged for covert photography to support this narrative.” “Understood! But… Isn’t this a bit rushed?” Taylor voiced his concern.

“You know how things are on the red carpet. If we don’t act now, it’ll be too late. ‘I can’t just stand there and watch that jerk snatch Bella away.” Christopher recalled the intimate hand-holding scene between Bel and Justin. The bitterness fueled his anger, and his clenched fists trembled with intensity. “That’s why I need to take the initiative. Their relationship was never meant to see the light of day. If that’s the case, it should remain concealed forever.” Meanwhile, Logan glanced at his watch, his expression clouded.

What’s taking so long? Why isn’t Ryan here yet? Give him a call and ask him to hurry up.” “Alright, Dad.” Claire felt a sense of urgency and promptly dialed his phone.

“Where’s Zoe? Where did she go? The older these siblings get, the more unruly they become! Without Finn around, they’re becoming bolder every day!” As he mentioned Ryan’s father, his beloved son, who had passed away, Logan suddenly felt a wave of pain in his heart, causing him to fall silent.

Sensing his father’s emotions, Liam grinned awkwardly, but he felt the tension and unintentionally deformed the cigar in his hand.

Justin had to attend to some other matters, so he accompanied Bella into the venue for a brief moment before parting ways.

Bella proceeded alone towards the VIP area, her high heels echoing in the empty corridor.

“Hey, stop right there!” Zoe’s piercing voice echoed from behind.

Bella continued walking without pause, heading straight area.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1095-From the very beginning, Bella knew that Zoe was following her, but she simply dismissed her as inconsequential.

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to stop?!” Holding onto her rumpled dress, Zoe hurried over to block Bella’s path, stumbling a bit due to her haste.

“Why do I have to stop just because you asked me to? Who do you think you are?”

“You…!” Zoe was infuriated, and her features contorted in anger.

“If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, get lost. I don’t have much time to waste with you,” Bella retorted. Her lips curled slightly as she glared coldly at Zoe.

Zoe trembled slightly, evidently intimidated by Bella’s presence.

She could not help but notice the growing similarity between Bella and Justin. Even their gazes mirrored each other. Co fabled couple’s resemblance?

“If you have nothing else to say, get lost.” be the As Bella was about to leave, Zoe’s eyes widened with fury, a spoke with malice, “Do you really think Justin has genuine fee for you? He’s merely playing along because of your status as the current heiress of KS Group!” Unable to contain her amusement, Bella chuckled. “Whether he’s playing along or not, I know it, and so do you. If it’s really as you say, you should just sit back and enjoy the show instead of coming over here like a shrew, shamelessly trying to make a scene.” Zoe was momentarily at a loss for words, choking on her retort.

“Also, Ms. Hoffman, do you know what the most pitiful people in this world are like?” Bella leaned in slightly, her crimson lips curling into a mocking smile.” They’re people like you who attempt to deceive others to satisfy their dark desires, only to end up deceiving themselves and living in a world of hypocrisy and delusion.” Upon hearing this, Zoe trembled with anger and shame.

It’s evident that Justin and Bella have reconciled their differences and cleared up all the misunderstandings, rendering her schemes harmless.

However, Zoe was not ready to give up just yet.

So Zoe gritted her teeth and forced out a malicious smirk. “Bella, do you really believe every word Justin says? I once thought ye vere a wise woman, but it seems you’re just like any other love-stol, easily swayed by a man’s sweet talk” “If I were you, I’d save my breath.” Bella chuckled lightly. really think I’d believe what you say?” Do you “That’s completely up to you, but I still have more to tell you.” Zoe leaned closer to Bella’s ear, every word dripping with mockery.” When Justin came into my room, the reporters captured that scene.

You saw it, too. Aren’t you curious about what happened when we were alone together? I had just finished showering and was completely naked. Justin held me so tightly, and his breath was so heavy and warm. Ha… Ha…” Bella’s eyes instantly turned crimson, flickering with uncontrollable rage.

Despite her trust in Justin, unsettling images still surfaced in Bella’s mind.

“His sweaty palms were gripping my waist, rubbing it over and over again. He must have thought my skin was incredibly smooth and my waist so soft. Why else would he be so reluctant to let go?” Zoe covered her mouth and burst into laughter. “Haha… Just look at your reaction now. I bet Justin didn’t disclose this to you, did he? Of course not. He’d want to keep it hidden from you forever. All men are alike. When they encounter a young and attractive body, they resist with words, but their bodies are yearning for it earnestly.” “Zoe.” Bella’s gaze was piercing, and her expression was frosty.

“What’s wrong? Are you angry now? Didn’t you just say that wouldn’t believe a single word I said? Haha! Well, everythi true. You’re doubtful of him now, aren’t you?” di

 

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1096-Seeing Bella’s fury, Zoe lit up with excitement and laughed maniacally.

Zoe prodded her own cheek with her fingertips and said, “Go on, hit me! You must be so angry right now that you want to kill me. Come on! Just do it!” Bella clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails were digging into her skin. But she was fully aware that she couldn’t lay her hands on Zoe.

Zoe was clearly trying to provoke Bella. If she lashed out, it would only make things worse.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.

Bella looked on in shock as Zoe suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself with great force. The slap was strong enough to make her cheeks swell, and it ruined her neatly styled hair bun.

Zoe then smiled sinisterly as she burst through the closed doo quickly cried, shielding her face as she collapsed in an embarra and pitiful manner.

Outside the door, there was a crowd of media, guests, and staff. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Zoe and Bella, who were standing by the door.

“What’s happening? Come on, let’s go see!” “Are Ms. Hoffman and Ms. Thompson arguing? I wonder what they are arguing about.” Chapter 1096 “What else could it be? They’re probably arguing over a man!” “Could it be about Mr. Salvador? Wow, he sure is popular. These young ladies are fighting over him!” “It seems like Ms. Thompson made the first move, and she really went all out.

Ms. Hoffman’s face looks so swollen, like it’s been.

bashed.” “This isn’t good for either of them. Both are well-regarded and hold influential positions. No matter how upset they are, they shouldn’t have to resort to violence. Ms. Thompson’s action definitely damaged her reputation.” The guests kept on gossiping, with everyone blaming Bella. She was seen as the villain and criticized for her lack of decency.

In the meantime, eager journalists also hurried over with their cameras to capture Zoe as the center of attention.

Zoe, trembling like a skilled actress, had tears rolling down her face as she gazed expressionlessly at Bella. In a choked voice, she accused, “Bella, you’ve crossed the line! Even if you have a prob with me because of Justin, I’ve never caused you any trouble or spoken ill of you. Why do you insist on opposing me and even physically hurting me?” Zoe continued, “Just because your father is the richest man in Hatchbay and you’re the heiress of the KS Group, does that give you the right to bully others?!” As Zoe spoke, tears streamed down her face, evoking sympathy from the bystanders.

Chappé 1096 “So what if you’re the daughter of Hatchbay’s richest man? This is Savrow!

Does the Thompson family think they’re better than everyone else?” “Ms. Hoffman comes from a respected family background. Why should she have to go through this humiliation? If it were me, I would fight back immediately.” Bella listened to the gossip with a smile instead of anger, her eyes filled with disdain, and her lips curled in a charming yet unsettling smile.

‘She’s laughing? Is she really laughing?’ Zoe was momentarily puzzled, unable to even remember how to cry as her expression remained frozen.

“Interesting! It’s truly a rare sight.” Bella looked at Zoe coldly, displaying no sign of fear. “At first, I did want to hit you, but I never expected you’d do it yourself. Well, that works for me too. Now I don’t have to do it myself.

Today must be my lucky day. How else could witness such a beautiful show?”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1097-“What?!” The crowd exclaimed in shock.

“Good heavens! Did Zoe hit herself?” “Her face looks swollen. Did she really go that far as to harm herself?!” Zoe turned pale in an instant, and even her swollen cheeks lost color.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Bella?! Am I crazy enough to hit myself?!”

“I believe you’ve lost your mind.” Bella shook her head disapprovingly and shrugged her shoulders. “Not only have you gone insane, but you’ve also frightened me. I should be demanding compensation for the emotional distress caused by this situation. Are you trying to shift the blame onto me? Ms.

Hoffman, why are you resorting to such tactics?” The crowd was shocked!

The camera flashes flickered wildly on Zoe’s extremely pale “Ms. Thompson’s reputation should be impeccable, shouldn’t She’s been actively involved in charity and public welfare, event organizing the funeral for the poor servants of the Salvador fa It’s hard to believe she would falsely accuse Zoe, isn’t it?” “Even if Ms. Thompson did something, there must have been a reason, right?” “Perhaps jealousy drove Ms. Thompson to act this way. Nonetheless, resorting to violence is unacceptable! I have doubts about Ms. Thompson’s character.” Bella felt completely repulsed by the petty plotting. Surely Zoe could employ more sophisticated methods if she wanted to scheme against her?

The truth would ultimately come out, so Bella was unfazed by being misunderstood. It seemed like no matter how she looked at it, she was the one benefiting from it.

Just as Bella was about to leave the scene, an anxious voice broke through the crowd.

“Zoe! What happened? Who bullied you?!” The crowd made way as Logan hurriedly led the Hoffman family. members under the protection of bodyguards.

“Grandpa… Mom…” Zoe’s eyes were filled with tears as she trembled, her lips ring with sorrow.

Claire naturally assumed that Bella had bullied her daughter w saw Zoe’s disheveled hair, swollen cheeks, and collapsed figu the ground, along with Bella’s condescending and scornful expression.

“Quick! Someone help Ms. Hoffman up!” Following Logan’s order, the bodyguards hurried forward to create a barrier to keep the reporters away.

“Zoe!” Claire called out as she dashed forward to embrace her daughter, glaring at Bella with anger.

“Ms. Thompson! If you have any problems, you should come to me. Why did you hit my daughter?” “Mommy… Your health isn’t great. Please don’t get too upset. I’m fine …” Zoe comforted her mother, showing remarkable maturity.

It was truly heartbreaking to watch.

Meanwhile, the Thompson family members also showed up, adding to the chaos.

Zoe’s dirty schemes had alarmed the heads of both families, escalating the situation completely.

“Chairman Thompson, your daughter’s temper is truly something else. In broad daylight, she dared to hit my granddaughter,” Logan said as he leaned on his cane with folded hands, glaring coldly at Wyatt, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

“It’s clear that you’ve spoiled her, but whose child isn’t precious Bella is dear to you, just as Zoe is my heart and soul! I demand accountability from you and your daughter for what happened The Hoffman family is not to be trifled with!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1098-Fortunately, Zoe’s opponent was Bella Thompson. If it had been anyone else, that person would have been dead by now.

Although Asher appeared calm, his gaze darkened as he looked at Zoe. This made Zoe feel intimidated, and she promptly sought comfort by hiding behind Claire.

Celeste released Wyatt’s arm and quickly approached Bella, holding her hand tightly. “Bella, are you okay? Did you get hurt?” The question made both Claire and Zoe visibly uneasy.

“I’m fine, Aunt Celeste. Please don’t worry,” Bella reassured her gently, fearing she might get upset.

“Bella, I trust that you would never resort to violence. You’ve always been upright. We know that even if others doubt it,” Celeste said sternly as she turned her piercing gaze toward Zoe.

Wyatt pursed his lips, his brows furrowing deeply, and his great his daughter carried a complex mix of emotions.

He was not worried about Bella potentially hitting someone. I it, then there was nothing he could do. How many mischievou has she disciplined since childhood?

Wyatt was more worried about finding a solution to this problem this got out, how would others view her? Reputation was of significant importance. If she were to take over KS Group in the future, Bella needed credibility and a positive image in society. Otherwise, others might use her past mistakes against her, hinder her Chougée loom progress, and damage her reputation.

“Mr. Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman, do you have evidence that Bella was.

responsible for the violence? Accusations should be based on evidence,” said an assertive voice that could not be ignored.

As everyone turned their heads, Christopher approached gracefully with an unwavering gaze toward Bella.

Bella’s gaze was intense and distant, devoid of warmth.

She did not hope for anyone to come to her aid. It was not necessary, and even if someone were to stand up for her, she would wish it were Justin instead of Christopher.

Logan’s e expression turned serious as he inquired. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Iverson? Are you implying that Zoe framed Ms.

Thompson?” “Whether that is the case, we should ask Ms. Hoffman herself. A single misunderstanding from her could potentially ruin herself,” Christopher replied calmly as he approached Bella. His affectionate gaze lingered on her as if there were no one else around, eli murmurs of amazement from the onlookers.

“It’s no surprise that Mr. Iverson has feelings for Ms. Thomps There were already signs during the charity auction!” “No need to say it. He couldn’t take his eyes off Ms. Thompson, now he’s not even hesitating to offend the Hoffman family in order support her. Does his behavior not speak for itself?” “I wonder what Chairman Thompson’s thoughts are. One is the president of the Salvador Corporation, while the other is from the respected Iverson family.” 3/3 “If it were up to me, I’d definitely go with Young Master Iverson. He has a clean reputation without any flaws. Justin is like a decaying fruit stand that attracts pests! First Rosalind, then Zoe, and who knows who else there might be in the future? It’s surprising that their parents allowed them to become entangled in this mess.” Zoe felt her heart race as she clutched her mother’s arm tightly.

She couldn’t explain it, but despite never having interacted with Christopher, there was a strange sense of familiarity about him, even in his voice. An unexplainable fear gripped her almost suffocatingly.

“Mr. Iverson, are you indirectly implying that Zoe framed her?” Claire held her daughter close, her voice shaking with anger. “My daughter has been assaulted, and yet you defend Bella without considering what’s right? I understand your families have strong connections, but taking advantage of us like this is not acceptable.” On the outside, Zoe appeared pitiful, but deep down, her heart was racing anxiously. She had checked that corridor, and there were definitely no surveillance cameras!

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1099-However, Christopher seemed so certain.Did he actually see what happened with his own eyes, or did he hear it?Otherwise, why would he dare to stand up for Bella?“Ms. Hoffman, I’ll ask you one more time.” Christopher approached Zoe menacingly, his dark eyes glistening with a cold gleam that sent shivers down her spine. “Did Bella really hit you?” “I…” Zoe’s throat tightened up.“We’re all adults here, so we need to own up to what we say. There is no point in waiting until the evidence is right in front of us. By then, it’ll be too late for regrets.” The space was silent as everyone waited for Zoe’s response. It had only been a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity of torment for her.Zoe finally gave in to Christopher’s intense pressure. It made no sense. She felt an overwhelming fear for Christopher, as if he knife at her throat. She had never felt such terror before; not eve Justin or Ryan had scared her this deeply.“I… I had a little disagreement with Bella. I lost my balance earlier accidentally broke through the door and fell to the ground.” Zoe dared not mention the slap. But this statement was enough to regain Bella’s innocence and spark gossip.“Wow! Did she actually slap herself? How malicious!” a “Don’t you get it? Young Master Iverson pressured her, so she caved in. Didn’t you hear how happy she was earlier?” “Sigh, she’s only a little girl after all. She gets intimidated as soon as someone pressures her. If it were me, I wouldn’t admit it, even if I died. Let’s see if he can produce any evidence!” “This is clearly defamation and slander. If the Thompson family refuses to let go, will Zoe still have the dignity to live on for the future?” W Christopher effortlessly helped Bella. But Bella remained solemn, showing no emotion, let alone any gratitude toward him. It Wyatt who relaxed his furrowed brows and gave a rare, approving smile while nodding at Christopher.Asher took a step forward, put his arm around Bella’s shoulder, and calmly said, “Mr. Hoffman, I wonder if your granddaughter still requires an explanation from my sister? If needed, we can arrange for it. Let’s wait until the horse race is over and then bring both families’ lawyers to the police station to discuss this further.” Wyatt narrowed his eyes slightly in silent approval. He wasn’t able voice it out, but it was completely understandable for Asher to stan up for Bella as a protective older brother.Claire held her daughter close as Logan’s expression turned extremely dark.Asher smiled faintly and said, “The Thompson family will take responsibility for any trouble caused. However, it’s clear that someone is trying to falsely accuse my beloved sister. I won’t let this slide, and I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this.I believe Mr. Hoffman

 

 

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1100-also cares deeply for Ms. Hoffman. You probably would react the same way.” All eyes were on them, and the members of the Hoffman family felt deeply embarrassed beyond words.

Asher’s brief statement left them with no way out. Agreeing could lead to a potential defamation case with the police. But if they refused, it might seem as though they were hiding something and

that Zoe was falsely accusing Bella.

“Haha! Oh my, it’s simply a misunderstanding !” Liam, who had been observing quietly from the sidelines, intervened at this point with a smile in an attempt to ease the tension.

“Young people these days have disagreements that can easily escalate. It’s normal. We’ve all been young and reckless, haven’t we? Zoe is not inherently malicious. She’s just pampered by us and tends to be impulsive when upset. That’s why she spoke without careful consideration in the heat of the moment.” Liam continued, “Zoe is still young and doesn’t know any better.

We’ve known each other for many years. My older brother and Chairman Thompson used to be close friends too. Zoe is my brother’s pride and joy. As you know his character well, his daughte certainly couldn’t lack any redeeming qualities.” Wyatt listened to these words and felt his anger gradually dissipate.

Ryan and Zoe’s father, Finn Hoffman, was Wyatt’s junior and had a close relationship with him.

When Finn died unexpectedly in a plane crash, it deeply saddened Wyatt, and he mourned for a long time.

If Finn Hoffman were still alive today, the Hoffman family’s dynamics would definitely be different. It was even possible that the family competing with the Salvador family would not be the Iverson family, but rather the Hoffman family.

Ryan’s position within the Hoffman family would also not feel as awkward as it does at the moment.

“Well, the horse racing event is an annual tradition, and everyone should enjoy the festivities. My family doesn’t wish to spoil anyone’s enjoyment or draw attention to personal issues,” Wyatt said while standing with his hands clasped behind his back, projecting grace.

“Mr. Hoffman, your granddaughter should apologize to Bella. With that, we can consider this matter resolved.” Zoe’s eyes burst with fury and were bloodshot with hatred. Having t apologize to Bella was more agonizing than scraping her bones with a knife!
