Ch. 1101..1110
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1101-Bella stared coldly at Christopher’s face, observing the hidden darkness behind his gentle exterior. She slowly clenched her fists.
“Good, I understand your intentions. There will be many chances for you and Bella to bond in the days ahead.” Wyatt’s gaze toward Christopher was surprisingly warm, his words carrying a hint of intrigue.
The flash of cameras captured this moment, and onlookers couldn’t help but sigh in astonishment.
As a legendary figure and a top-ranking tycoon in the business world, Wyatt rarely showed such warmth to any young man. This kind of behavior was usually reserved for someone like a future son-in-law!
“Why do I get the feeling that Chairman Thompson is intentionally trying to set up Ms. Thompson with Mr. Iverson?” Somebody whispered quietly.
“I agree. It’s quite obvious that his attitude is cold and distant toward Mr. Salvador but very warm toward Mr. Iverson. Everyone in the business world knows that Chairman Thompson and Chairman Iverson are close friends, and their families have had a long-standing relationship! If Ms.
Thompson wasn’t determined and Chairman Thompson didn’t support her, she might have married into the Iverson family instead of marrying Mr. Salvador three years ago.” “But I’ve noticed that Ms. Thompson seems to still have lingering feelings for Mr.
Salvador. Walking the red carpet, holding hands-they seem to have reconciled.” “Hmm, what’s the point? How many of these noble family marriages are truly their own decisions? If Chairman Thompson allowed her once, would he do so again?” “If the Thompson family indeed formed an alliance with the Iverson family, it would be major news and could significantly alter Savrow’s business scene!” Bella couldn’t bear to listen any longer, and her expression darkened as she swiftly walked away.
“Bella!” Christopher ran after her by himself, his eyes filled with worry.” What’s the matter? Are you still upset about what Zoe just did?” Bella remained silent, continuing to walk ahead without saying a word.
“Bella, if you still feel unsatisfied, I can find many ways to help you feel better. I’ll do anything as long as it makes you happy.” Suddenly, she stopped walking.
L “Do you actually have the evidence? Evidence that refutes Z accusations against me.” “No, I was only pretending to scare her because I knew she was and afraid of being exposed,” Christopher admitted with a soft chuckle.
“Given my understanding of Zoe, she’s no different than Bethany. As the heiress of the Hoffman family, who is deeply cherished by Logan and Ryan, would she really be afraid of a mere threat from you?” Bella turned toward him suddenly, her gaze becoming increasingly suspicious. “Or perhaps Mr. Iverson and Ms. Hoffman have some personal connection. Maybe she did this for your benefit.” This statement was undoubtedly sarcastic. Yet, it inadvertently struck a chord, hitting right at Christopher’s dark heart!
Adjusting his glasses, the glint of the lenses hid his dark motives.
“Bella, I would never interact with any woman aside from you.” “Please, stop. I have someone I care for. Regardless of your interest in me, I am not interested in you.” Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing through Christopher’s chest. He felt a surge of pain that brought a taste of blood to his tongue, spreading across the back of his throat.
“Bella, I…” “I don’t want to deprive Mr. Iverson of the rights that a normal man should have.” Bella sneered, exposing his schemes. “Don’t bother trying to Chairman Thompson. I won’t change my mind and choose you.” On the other side, Justin had been silently coordinating with lan make the next move.
Upon learning that Zoe had nearly humiliated Bella, he hurried over as quickly as possible, but by the time he arrived, everything was already over.
The guests and journalists dispersed, leaving only him and lan standing bewildered in their original spots.
4/4 lan said, “Mr. Salvador, I just checked the trending topics. Zoe has publicly apologized to Ms. Thompson and is facing backlash from netizens. Everyone is expressing sympathy for Ms. Thompson
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1102-“It’s just…” lan paused, hesitating to continue.
“What is it?” Justin asked eagerly, his heart racing with anticipation.
“It’s just that the person who helped Ms. Thompson resolve the issue was Christopher.” As soon as lan mentioned this name, Justin felt a sudden wave of anxiety wash over him. A hint of red flashed in Justin’s eyes, and his strong jawline tightened like the edge of a blade.
“Not only that, there are photos circulating online showing Chairman Thompson and Christopher having friendly interactions. There are also rumors suggesting a marriage alliance between the Thompson family and the Iverson family. It’s highly likely that Ms. Thompson will marry Christopher.” As lan was speaking, the fear in his voice was evident.
One could only imagine the turmoil in Justin’s heart.
Justin felt anxious and was about to go see Bella when he unexpectedly spotted the Chairman and CEO of Journey Ventu from Meridan. Wilson and his son were walking toward him while being escorted by the staff and countless bodyguards.
“Mr. Salvador, it’s Mr. Reed!” lan was utterly astonished. “My goodness, why are both of them here? There was absolutely no prior notice. Could it be a sudden change of plans?!” As he spoke, Wilson, the chairman, along with his son, Wilson Reed Jr., had already approached Justin.
“Mr. Salvador, we had planned to discuss cooperation during our last meeting, but you didn’t show up as promised. I was under the impression that you had resigned and wouldn’t be joining us again.” Chairman Wilson remarked with a faint smile.
“Father, is he the President of the Salvador Corporation?” Wilson Reed Jr. inquired with a raised eyebrow, showcasing a hint of arrogant disdain in his smile that made others feel uncomfortable. “I thought the President of the Salvador Corporation would be the Young Master Grant of the Salvador family.” Justin remained expressionless, pressing his thin lips together firmly.
It seemed that by not showing up to the meeting last time, he had offended both the father and son duo.
Additionally, Journey Ventures had recently made a deal with the Salvador Corporation on a project worth close to a billion dollars, so there would be frequent interactions in the future. Now they were clearly showing support for his elder brother and holding bias against him, not taking him seriously at all.
“I see that I have let you both down.” Justin quickly adjusted displaying a composed smile and disregarding their sarcasm. Instead, he cordially extended his right hand to Wilson Jr.
“The President of the Salvador Corporation isn’t my elder brother, Grant, nor have I left the company.” Justin continued, “I’d like to use this opportunity to reconnect and build our relationship once more. I hope we can mutually benefit and achieve success together. Let’s not dwell on trivial issues that could hinder our collaboration or delay our profit-making efforts. After all, in the business world, there are no permanent enemies, right?” Both Wilson and Wilson Jr. exchanged a glance.
Justin was neither humble nor arrogant, handling the situation with poise and composure, giving them no reason to be upset. Despite any personal connection they may have had with Grant, the current person in charge at Salvador Corporation was the man standing before them.
What Justin said was right. There’s only profit in the business world, leaving no room for friendship.
Both Wilson and his son extended their hands to Justin with somewhat softened attitudes. “President Salvador, I look forward to a pleasant collaboration in the future.
A smile played on Justin’s lips as he calmly said, “I hope for that as well.” *
In the VIP seats, representatives from the four major families were al seated.
The whole affair turned into a comedy show, leaving members of the Hoffman family in a bad mood, except for Liam, who seemed unfazed by the amusing situation.
The more commotion there was in the household, the more delighted he appeared to be. In ancient times, he would undoubtedly be labeled as a traitor.
“Liam, thank you for handling the situation today.” Logan expressed his gratitude toward his second son, “If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know Chapter 1102 how we would have resolved Zoe’s mess.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1103-Zoe lowered her head, fuming with anger, but she dared not utter a single word.
Bethany was aware of the commotion that had just happened. She felt immensely satisfied and couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing Zoe, who was usually so arrogant and disrespectful, looking so dejected.
Liam chuckled heartily. “Dad, please don’t say that. Zoe is my niece. If I don’t help her, who else will I help? Should I abandon my family instead?”
At the mention of “abandon my family”, Logan immediately thought of Ryan.
“Grandpa, Mom, we’re here.” A clear and cheerful voice rang out, drawing everyone’s attention.
Ryan and Carrie walked hand in hand, their intimacy resembling that of a newlywed couple. Ryan looked at the shy girl beside him v affectionate eyes, evoking envy in others.
The atmosphere felt somewhat tense, particularly with the Hof family showing clear aloofness and reserve toward the couple.
Astrid, an outsider, didn’t understand the situation and was the first to speak up.
“Oh my, are Mr. Hoffman and Ms. Carrie in a relationship? Ah, what a great match! Congratulations, Mrs. Hoffman, Chairman Salvador, as well as Mrs. Salvador.” Gregory and Shannon kept their usual demeanor, while Claire’s smile seemed incredibly forced.
Bethany gave Carrie a sharp look of distress, her eyes widening with intense animosity at the sight of her outfit today.
Carrie was wearing a vibrant goose-yellow chiffon dress with a black butterfly bow, designed by the internationally acclaimed fashion designer Roza Walker.
The beauty of the dress stoked jealousy within Bethany. After all, obtaining Roza Walker’s haute couture was no small feat. Amid countless unsuccessful attempts to secure appointments herself, seeing her sister Carrie donning this exclusive creation only intensified Bethany’s jealousy.
Bethany feared that others would perceive her as lacking compared to her own sibling-a stark reminder that they shared the same roots but different destinies.
Even without looking, Bethany knew that Ryan had undoubtedly gifted this remarkable dress to Carrie.
This realization fueled Bethany’s resentment further until it reed an unbearable level-nearly driving her to tear apart her own frustration.
“I remember that Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Salvador are good friends, right? Your friendship with him is just as strong as mine with Wya isn’t it? Now that you and Ms. Salvador have mutual affection and make a great couple, this is a wonderful thing!” Lance smiled at the Hoffman family.
“Mr. Hoffman, congratulations! When can I have the pleasure of attending your eldest grandson’s wedding?” Logan coldly raised the corner of his lips without responding. The chilly and unfriendly demeanor was obvious to everyone present. Logan clearly disapproved of Carrie. He didn’t even want to say a word in front of Gregory or pretend to be friendly toward Carrie.
The awkward atmosphere became increasingly embarrassing.
Gregory’s expression turned somber as he naturally felt deeply uneasy.
Shannon was no different. Despite being a selfish and ruthless mother, Carrie was still her own child. If the Hoffman family disrespected her, it would be like disrespecting themselves. How could she ignore her pride?
“Chairman Iverson, Carrie’s big day is approaching. I will make sure to personally send you the invitation first when the time comes,” Ryan said firmly as he tightly grasped Carrie’s hand, his eyes shining with joy.
It felt as if tomorrow would be their wedding day.
人 Carrie timidly lowered her long lashes, leaning dependently Ryan.
The love between them was strong enough to endure any harsh criticism.
“Ryan, marriage is a serious commitment. It’s a significant life event that requires careful consideration.” Claire couldn’t hold back any longer. However, she couldn’t openly oppose it, as Liam suggested. She could only subtly express her concerns. “Have you known Ms. Salvador long enough to truly understand each other? Is it too Chape impulsive to talk about marriage so soon?” “Indeed, Ryan. Your reputation in Sayrow is well-known. How many exgirlfriends did you have prior to Ms. Salvador? And how many of them were spoiled and given everything they wanted?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1104-Zoe became livelier and took the opportunity to tease, “I suggest not rushing to make a decision too quickly. You might end up regretting it later and wasting Ms. Carrie’s time. Carrie was in my junior high school class, and I know her very well. She’s different from those girls you’ve dated before.” Gregory’s expression turned even darker as his excitement about the marriage faded almost completely.
“Grandpa, Mom, and Uncle Gregory, I understand your concerns and acknowledge my past reckless behavior. It may seem like I am not trustworthy,” Ryan said with a deep breath. He looked at Carrie, who was next to him, with intense love in his eyes, unable to stop himself from falling deeply for her.
Ryan struggled to control his emotions as he spoke. “But my feelings for Carrie are genuine. I’m willing to do anything for her. I am ing to give Carrie everything I have.” ‘Giving everything to this woman? What a joke!’ Logan clenche jaw and slammed his cane to the ground forcefully.
However, with the Salvador family and a bunch of outsiders preser causing a scene at this moment wouldn’t be appropriate. He could only bear it for now.
“In this life, I will only marry Carrie.” Ryan swallowed nervously as he gazed solemnly at his mother and said, “Mom, I’m not being impulsive. On the contrary, this is a decision I’ve made after thorough contemplation and one that I firmly stand by. I just want to choose whom I love and to love whom I choose. I hope you and Grandpa can support us.
Everyone present was left speechless.
There had been rumors in the streets suggesting that Ryan was a daring and unruly figure. People might have thought it was exaggerated. But now, it seems that the rumors were not exaggerated at all. In fact, they might have been downplayed.
If one were to look at the entire Savrow, how many young masters of prominent families would dare to confront their own families as boldly as he did?
Bella had just arrived when this scene happened in front of her eyes. She was deeply moved, her eyes welling up with tears. Bella was worried at first, but now she could rest assured.
She thought, ‘Perhaps if we overcome all the obstacles and walk hand in hand into marriage, we will receive everyone’s blessings why dwell on it? Even if everyone ridicules and slanders us, it d really matter to us. Only death can tear us apart.’ it L Several dozen confetti cannons went off on time, and colorful confetti filled the sky. Amidst the grand ceremony and the cheers of the crowd, the horse racing event officially started. Meanwhile, Wilson and his son, along with Justin, arrived late amidst the clamor.
For ordinary folks, Journey Ventures might still be an unfamiliar name, but its position in Meridan was as significant as the Salvadors in Savrow and the Thompsons in Hatchbay.
Wilson Reed was a tycoon who could directly contact the Prime Minister of Meridan. His power and influence need no elaboration.
If cooperation with Journey Ventures could be established, it would undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for future business expansion in Meridan. It was a win-win situation!
Gregory could not help but be extremely surprised to see the improved relationship between Justin and the Wilson father and son.
Despite frequently defying him and causing him trouble, Justin was remarkable and had astonishing tactics in terms of work. He would often seize a glimmer of opportunity and turn the tables, working against the odds.
Once Justin entered the venue, his gaze didn’t leave Bella for a single moment. When he saw that the person sitting beside Bella was none other than Christopher, his heart throbbed painfully.
He knew this wasn’t Bella’s doing. She would never willingly have any association with Christopher. In this matter, it was obvious that Wyatt had personally played a role in matchmaking.
人 With these thoughts, Justin forcefully adjusted his breathing, yet he still felt as if his throat was being constricted. An inexplicable panic. gnawed at his heart.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1105-The arrival of the Reed family brought a slight shift to the ambiance. It was clear that Gregory and the Hoffman family members were welcoming toward them.
With their wealth and status, there was no need for them to humble themselves.
However, in comparison to how they behaved with others, one could say they were rather courteous.
Only Justin, resembling the status of a Greek god, sat with dignity beside Gregory, gazing intensely and affectionately at the person he cared for.
In another corner of the room, Wyatt was deep in conversation with Bella, who appeared serious and focused without noticing Justin’s piercing gaze.
His expression darkened suddenly when Christopher lifted his champagne glass and unintentionally blocked his line of sight. Christopher slowly turned to him, wearing a casual smirk as he raised his champagne glass in a moving toast.
Justin’s blood surged, making it hard for him to breathe. He tightened his grip on his glass with rage.
Suddenly, the glass shattered in his hand, causing the champagne to spill all over him.
“Oh! Justin, your clothes are wet!” All attention shifted towards Justin as Zoe quickly moved to his side. Much to everyone’s surprise, she kneeled in front of him and started wiping the stains from Justin’s trousers with a handkerchief.
Everyone was stunned.
“Damn! Ms. Hoffman’s behavior is just outrageous!” Logan’s and Claire’s faces turned livid. Liam watched his own niece being ridiculed, but instead of feeling embarrassed, he stood by and found amusement in the scene, unable to hold back a chuckle.
Ryan noticed his uncle’s actions, and his eyes darkened. But he had no plans to intervene and stop Zoe.
As far as he was concerned, Justin should take advantage of this opportunity to let Zoe embarrass herself completely. It would teach her a valuable lesson that she would never forget. A reminder not to chase after men from prestigious families in the future!
“Ryan…” Carrie called out softly as she tugged gently at his sleeve.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Ryan asked gently as he lowered his gaze.
“I… I can’t explain it, but every time I see your second uncle, I feel a bit uneasy.” Carrie was simple-minded and would say whatever came to her mind without any twists.
Even though she spoke softly, Liam still managed to catch fragments of her words, causing his ears to prick up like antennas.
Ryan embraced his petite girlfriend and spoke loudly. “Then don’t stare at him.
It’s not good for your eyes to look at filthy things too much.” Liam felt a surge of anger rise but couldn’t show it, fearing he would appear as though he was eavesdropping on the young couple.
Carrie quickly closed her eyes with an adorable little expression.
Ryan lovingly caressed her silky hair and leaned in to give her a peck on the cheek. “In the future, we’ll have many more lovely children.
Staring at unpleasant things too often can affect our kids’ appearance.” Carrie blushed with embarrassment, her face turning red.
Liam coughed as he choked on his drink, his face also turning red.
Bella noticed that Zoe was making a move on her man and felt a surge of anger rising in her chest, causing her to lean forward slightly.
However, she had no intention of going over. She wasn’t as shameless as Zoe.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1106-In the heat of the moment, Bella’s body reacted naturally.
“What are you doing, Bella?” Bella’s shoulders sank, and she suddenly lifted her gaze and met Wyatt’s stern and dark gaze.
Wyatt said, “Don’t tell me that you want to imitate Zoe, cursing and assaulting people in public like some shrew? Are you the type of woman who has no selfrespect? Don’t make me look down on you. Don’t embarrass the Thompson family!”
Bella tightly pursed her lips, and her crimson lips turned pale.
Christopher heard everything clearly, the corners of his lips darkly raised as he elegantly sipped his champagne.
Just as Zoe’s hand was about to touch him, Justin stood up suddenly, a wave of coldness emanating from him. suddenly, a wave of coldness “Ah!” Zoe stumbled backward and fell awkwardly to the ground. The bodyguards rushed forward to help her and caused a commotion. Thanks to that, those in the back row who initially had not paid any attention to the matter were made aware of the situation, adding to Zoe’s embarrassment.
“Ms. Hoffman, please behave yourself.” Justin coldly admonished her, a chilling aura hanging over her head as if lightning could strike her down at any moment.
Bella remained composed, but her crimson lips subtly curled up, satisfac feeling a sweet sati world could provide her with as much security as Justin did.
The onlookers pursed their lips and suppressed their laughter, but their efforts to contain themselves only added to Zoe’s anger!
Logan rubbed his temples in frustration, but he couldn’t confront Justin. After all, it was his granddaughter who had been persistently throwing herself at him while everyone was watching.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… The upbringing of the Hoffman family is really not praiseworthy. If she were my daughter, I would have to discipline her every day.” Lance sat beside Wyatt, whispering with a smirk, “Our Bella is still the best. How can a daughter from a nouveau riche background like the Hoffman family be compared to our Bella, an elegant and refined lady from a prestigious family?” “Hmph, you’re right about the prestigious family. But don’t flatter her. She’s just a troublemaker.” Wyatt glanced at his daughter and asked, ” How many windows did this girl break when she was young?” Bella pursed her lips. “Wyatt, you’re raking up the past!” “Hey! What troublemaker? She’s lively! Since we were kids, I’ve always felt that Bella is special. I like her a lot! What if it’s just a few pieces of glass? As long as Bella is happy, we can demolish the house and rebuild it!” Lance really hit the jackpot with his future daughter-in-law. The more he looked at her, the more he admired her.
Justin temporarily left the table, with lan following closely behind to change clothes.
Meanwhile, Shannon was in a terrible situation. She couldn’t even sit up straight. She was bent over with her legs pressed tightly together, trembling all over. She was enduring extreme pain right now. Luckily, she hadn’t drunk much water. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster!
Since entering the venue, Bella has been secretly observing Shannon. As expected, everything was just as Simon had predicted. Shannon’s current physical condition was already quite strained after participating in such outdoor activities for a long time.
Bella’s bright and clever eyes brightened up as she suddenly lifted her champagne glass and stood up to address the guest.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to be gathered here with all of you, sharing such a grand occasion today. Not only are there the elders whom I have always respected, family, and friends, but we are also graced by the legendary figures of the top financial group in Meridian, like the Reeds. I’m surprised and deeply honored.” Bella smiled charmingly and raised her glass to the Wilson father-and- son duo, speaking fluently in French, “Here, I propose a toast to both of you. Welcome to Savrow!” As the sound fell, she pressed her red lips against the rim of the glass, raised her slender neck, and sipped on the wine.
She was the embodiment of elegance and charm.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1107-Among all the women in the four prestigious families and even in the entire country, Bella was undoubtedly as dazzling as a pearl in the ocean.
From the moment he entered the room, Wilson Jr. was spellbound by this beautiful and elegant woman. It was difficult for him to pull his eyes away from her beautiful features.
“Pfft, such a show-off.”
Bethany shot Bella a disdainful glance, muttering disdainfully, “Who do you think you are? Toasting with the big shots. Do they even know who you are?” Unexpectedly, before she finished her sentence, Wilson nodded in satisfaction and raised his glass to Bella. He said pleasantly, “Alexa, ! didn’t expect you to be the heiress of the KS Group. You really surprised me. This isn’t the first time we’ve met, so you don’t need to be so formal.” The crowd was in complete disbelief.
Gregory’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected Bella to have a personal connection with the top businessman in Meridan!
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
When Bella married into the Salvador family, she not only concealed her identity but also never revealed these connections or helped their family or his son.
Now, not only did she repeatedly cause trouble for the Salvador family, but she also seemed to have transformed into someone dazzling, no longer hesitating to showcase her talents.
Did she think they were that gullible? She lacked even the most basic honesty!
Bella smiled gently. “Chairman Reed, it turns out that you still remember me. I’m really touched.” Wilson Jr. looked at his father with astonishment. “You mean… This lady is the famous jewelry designer Alexa? When did you meet her? Why didn’t I know?” Wilson smiled. “Two years ago, I wanted to give your mother a blue diamond necklace as a gift for her birthday. After several failed attempts, I reached out to Ms. Alexa directly, and she personally designed a birthday gift for your mother.” “Oh! You mean the necklace Mom wears every time she attends important events? She really likes it!” “Yes, that’s the one.” Wilson nodded and then turned to Bella. “I’m really grateful to you, Alexa. Oh, no, I should call you Ms. Thompson now.” “It’s the necklace’s honor to be cherished by your wife.” Bella was not arrogant or conceited. Instead, she remained humble, her smile pleasing to the eye.
Wyatt saw this and showed a relieved smile. Despite Bella’s usual independent and seemingly indifferent nature, she always rose to the occasion during critical moments. She was versatile and thorough in her dealings, and she was someone capable of doing great things.
When Zoe and Bethany once again witnessed Bella attracting all the attention, their eyes turned red with hatred, yet they were powerless.
They found themselves unable to riyal Bella’s sheer brilliance. Like a caged canary compared to a real phoenix, they stood no chance.
“Ms. Thompson, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Wilson Jr. boldly walked up to Bella, his gaze eager and his admiration for her evident. “The fact that we meet here shows that we have a destined connection.
How about we raise a glass to this fate?” Bella narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, sneering in her heart.
Christopher’s face darkened. Unable to bear Wilson Jr.’s advances, he was about to stand up to shield his beloved from the drink. But before he could act, a tall and cold figure beat him to it, stepping in front of Bella.
It was Justin!
Christopher’s pale and handsome face tightened, and he stared fiercely at Justin’s expressionless face, his eyes filled with icy hostility.
“Justin…” Bella looked at Justin’s tall figure and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
“To be able to gather here, it’s not only fate between the Reeds and Ms.
Thompson but also fate between us and the two of you,” Justin said.
With that, he gestured, and a waiter immediately brought him champagne. He raised his glass and curled his lips. “Ms. Thompson ” is still a lady and can’t handle too much liquor. If you don’t mind, allow me to drink with you on her behalf.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1108-There was such a disparity in treatment and biased protection.
Who couldn’t see that Justin only had Bella in his heart? Does he even know who Zoe was?
Christopher clenched his fists fiercely, and his body gradually became stiff.
‘Why was he always one step behind? Why was this despicable bastard always at Bella’s side?’
Wilson Jr’s expression visibly changed, but he still maintained the smile of a wealthy gentleman. “I can see that President Salvador truly cherishes Ms. Thompson. As for myself, I have been too impulsive without considering Ms. Thompson’s feelings. Let me finish this glass as a punishment.” With that, Wilson Jr. emptied his glass.
Justin’s eyes were as deep as ink and unwavering as he also raised his glass and drank it all in one go.
Applause filled the room, easing the awkward tension.
But Gregory’s expression had turned somber.
“Dad, what exactly is Justin thinking? Wilson Reed Jr. obviously has an interest in Bella. Isn’t he offended by his interference ?” Bethany couldn’t help but complain. “For the sake of a woman, Justin disregards the overall situation. Justin’s conduct as president is lacking. Women have always been troublemakers, especially Bella.
She is a calamity waiting to happen.
“Can’t you learn from Carrie and be a little more quiet? Which prestigious lady from a noble family gossips like you do?” Gregory sternly cast a sideways glance at Bethany, scaring her into silence.
At this moment, Bella raised her glass again, smilingly saying, “Come on, let’s all raise a glass to the visit of the Reeds! Cheers!” “Cheers!” Under the infectiously radiant smile of Bella, everyone became cheerful again. They picked up their glasses and drank the champagne.
Only Shannon remained hidden in the corner, tightly gripping her glass but not daring to take a sip.
“Hey, Mrs. Salvador, why aren’t you drinking?” Bella suddenly turned her gaze to the pale-faced Shannon, smiling lightly. “It’s such a joyous moment with esteemed guests present. Don’t you want to celebrate with us? Is the champagne prepared by the Iverson family not to your taste?” Shannon’s heart was constricted. She forced a smile on her face as she stared into Bella’s eyes. All eyes turned to Shannon, and indeed, not a drop of champagne had left her cup.
The members of the Iverson family looked dissatisfied. James signaled to Astrid, who had always deferred to her elder brother. She immediately mocked, “Mrs. Salvador, as the wife of Chairman Salvador, you must have had your fair share of fine wines. Our Iverson family’s offerings must be beneath your notice.” Shannon understood the Iverson family’s antagonism toward them, especially Astrid, who had given her numerous troubles at previous events.
Astrid had finally seized this opportunity to mock her relentlessly.
“I didn’t mean that. Please don’t misunderstand. I’m just not good with alcohol,” Shannon explained.
Before she could finish speaking, Justin intervened and said, “Aunt Shannon, you’re too modest. Every time the family hosts a banquet, you always enjoy drinking the most. On such a celebratory day as today, you don’t have to be so reserved.” “Aunt Shannon?” It sounded like Justin was addressing his nanny.
Everyone looked at each other with amusement.
So, after all these years of toiling in the Salvador family, Justin had yet to acknowledge Shannon’s status as Gregory’s wife. Did Grant also address her like this? If so, it was truly pathetic!
Shannon’s body trembled violently. Her heavy makeup barely concealed the resentment on her face.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1109-Bella thought, ‘Huh? Justin is usually so reserved, but it turns out he can be quite eloquent at crucial moments.’ She squinted her eyes. Taking advantage of the distraction around them, she playfully nudged Justin with her shoulder.
A pleasant scent washed over him, causing Justin’s mind to sway, and a hint of warmth rose to his cheeks as he pressed his lips tightly together.
Bella caught sight of his slightly blushing face and stifled a laugh.’ Well, deep down, he’s still a naive guy.’ But this seemingly naive guy was like a big bad wolf when he hugged her in bed and made love passionately to her late at night.
“Shannon, just have a glass. You don’t need to drink too much.” Gregory said, casting a glance at Shannon, his gaze heavy and his voice lowered. “Don’t ruin the mood for everyone.” Shannon’s heart tightened, and her arm was stiff. She awkwardly raised her glass and drank all the wine in it.
Watching her grimace as if she were drinking something awful, Bethany secretly worried for her, Christopher always paid attention to the subtle interactions between Bella and Justin. He always felt like they were plotting something, but he couldn’t figure it out.
Wilson Jr. returned to sit beside his father, gritting his teeth, his expression gloomy.
“Son, are you interested in Alexa?” Wilson asked casually.
“Yes, I fell in love with Ms. Thompson at first sight.” Wilson Jr. stared at Bella’s beautiful face without turning away. He was straightforward and unrestrained in expressing his admiration for her.
“Well, I agree. Among the young ladies present, only Alexa is a suitable match for you. As for the others, they’re like clowns.” He sneered contemptuously, thinking of Zoe, who had just tried to curry favor with Justin.
“But, my boy, you have quite a few rivals, don’t you?” Wilson smirked and patted his shoulder. “Justin and the young master of the Iverson family both harbor feelings for Alexa. Even I can see that clearly.
You’ve only met Alexa today for the first time. How will you compete with them?” “The Iverson family is not enough to contend with us. As for Justin, what is he? Is he worthy of competing with me?” Wilson Jr. scoffed at Justin. “To put it nicely, he’s the second young master of the Salvador family and the president of the Salvador Corporation. To put it bluntly, he’s just a dog raised by the Salvador family. Does he really think that the position of heir to Salvador Corporation is his? If our family supports the eldest son of the Salvador family, we can directly pull Justin down from the position of president. I don’t believe he will choose women over power. True love is something I’ve only heard of and never seen.” Wilson reminded his son sternly. “Even so, I believe that interests should still take precedence. Cooperation with Salvador Corporation is crucial at the moment. You should not stir up trouble unnecessarily.” “You’re right, Dad. I understand.” Under pressure, Shannon gulped down a glass of champagne and immediately felt the urge to use the restroom.
After exchanging some words with Gregory, Shannon left the VIP seat.
Just as she was out of sight of others, Shannon awkwardly bent over, clamped her legs, and sprinted to the restroom.
But when she reached the restroom stalls, she found they were fully occupied.
She trembled as her bladder was at risk of bursting. When someone finally came out, she rushed in. Before she could even take off her skirt, she ended up wetting herself.
She stayed in the stall until everyone was gone. Shannon screamed and pounded on the door of the restroom. After venting her frustration, she gradually calmed down and sat on the toilet, dialing Simon’s number.
It rang for a while before someone answered on the other end, “Mrs.
Salvador.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1110-“Dr. Fairchild… You said you would definitely come to the horse racing event today. Please give me the medicine.” Shannon pleaded, her eyes bloodshot from anxiety. “You won’t break your promise, will you? I will definitely be able to see you today, right?” “What’s this? Madam, do you miss me?” Simon chuckled. His tone was mocking rather than affectionate.
“Dr. Fairchild… Simon!” Shannon cried, tears welling up in her eyes. “I miss you… I really miss you! I miss you so much that it feels like I’m losing my mind!”
In reality, what she longed for the most was actually the “miracle drug” that could free her from her predicament. She had completely abandoned any sense of shame for the sake of obtaining this medicine.
“After the horse race is over, please come to the resting area of the second horse track alone. Everyone will be at the first horse track by then, and no one will be there. I’ll be waiting for you.” Simon instructed.
Shannon nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement. “Okay! I will… I will definitely come to find you!” *
After the spectacular opening ceremony performance, the competition officially began.
Every year, the horse racing event had two highlights. The first was the parade of the racehorses, where wealthy aristocratic families spared no cost in acquiring pricey horses from overseas to take part in a showcase of their wealth. A variety of rare and stunning horse breeds made appearances, trotting across the racetrack and creating a dazzling spectacle.
The second aspect was the horse race. Every year, the races held on the event day attract billions of dollars in bets. Some gamble for social connections, some hope to win big at the races, while others compete for prestige. Not for fame, but for the glory of victory!
The four prominent families have brought their cherished horses to the stables, ready and waiting to participate in the races.
Lance held a pair of binoculars and scanned the racetrack. He nudged the Wyatt beside him with his elbow and asked, “Wyatt, how much are you betting on my Big Baby today?” “Big Baby? Why haven’t you changed its name yet?” Wyatt frowned disdainfully. “What sins did this horse commit to deserve such a name? I won’t bet on it just because of that. It sounds like it won’t run fast at all.” “Tsk, I changed it long ago! It’s not called Big Baby anymore. It’s called Cyclone!” Wyatt couldn’t help but tease. “Cyclone? While other horses run forward, does yours just spin in place?” Lance was at a loss for words, while the family members surrounding them couldn’t stop laughing. Bella was truly impressed. by Wyatt’s quick wit.
“Wyatt, you’re getting stingier as you get older! Not only do you mock
3/3 me, but you also refuse to bet on my horse! Are we still friends?” Lance pouted, acting like an old toddler.
“I won’t place a bet. If I bet on my own horse, whether it wins or loses, I’ll be happy. But if I bet on someone else’s horse and it loses, I won’t be able to sleep tonight. I’m petty like that.” “Geez, you’re so heartless!” “Uncle Lance, I’ll bet on your Cyclone.” Asher stepped in at this moment, smiling gently. “I have faith in your horse. I’ll wager a small amount as a gesture of goodwill. I hope you don’t mind.” “Asher, you’re too kind. I’m very happy that you trust my Cyclone!” However, Lance still asked naively, “How much are you betting?” Asher’s gentle eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his slender index finger.
