Ch. 1111..1120

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1111-“$1 million?” “$10 million.” Asher seemed to have a different idea behind the meaning of spare change.

“Oh, my. Thank you for your support, Asher!” Lance beamed.

“Careful not to lose everything,” Wyatt taunted, talking rather bluntly to his son.

“Which horse are you betting on, Bella?” Christopher asked with a gentle smile.

Without looking at him, Bella replied, “I’m not betting. Gambling is not

for me.” Despite Bella’s dislike toward him, Christopher did not mind and said to Wyatt with a smile, “When in Rome, Wyatt. Like Mr. Asher, I will bet $10 million on KS Group’s Whistle.” Lance nodded with a grin, pleased with Christopher’s move to build rapport.

“Not bad, Christopher. You have a good eye. I would say even better than my son.” Wyatt grinned as Christopher once again did things in a way that suited his taste.

“It’s all for the fun of it.” Bella and Asher remained indifferent, but their gaze on Christopher was cutting and hostile.

“Can 1 “Can I take part too, Chairman Thompson?” The group turned around as Justin approached with a faint smile.

Christopher slid his glasses up his nose, his eyes growing wary.

“Oh? Are you interested in placing a bet too, Mr. Salvador?” Wyatt smiled pretentiously, his tone flat.

It was clear who Wyatt favored and who he snubbed.

“Gambling in moderation is harmless. I have always had a good feeling about Whistle. I took notice of Whistle since the time it was at the royal stables in Inalia.” Justin curled his lips.

Asher lowered his gaze and chuckled.

It was no secret that Justin put a lot of effort into winning Bella’s heart. Justin would never speak so ingratiatingly like that before.

Justin put aside his pride and ego to get in Wyatt’s good graces.

Even if nothing much changed, Justin was happy to try anyway.

Wyatt was surprised to learn that Justin knew quite a bit about his favorite horse.

He was about to say something when Bella rushed to Justin’s side and poked his chest.

“Do you have nothing better to do with your money? Why must you bet on that horse? Is it because it’s Wyatt’s horse?” Justin smiled sweetly and put his hand on his chest, where his lady had touched him just now. “Not entirely. I just have a good feeling about Whistle.” 3/3 “You don’t get horses. Whistle is about at the same level as Chairman Iverson’s Cyclone. You’re going to lose everything by betting on it.” Bella put her hands on her waist and shook her head. “You don’t have good instincts or a good knowledge of investment. I’m surprised your company hasn’t gone bust under your leadership.” The group was speechless.

Wyatt and Lance had no words.

The way Bella showed her affection was something else.

Justin paused, his eyes sparkling as he murmured in her ear, “Are you worried that I’d lose money, Bella?” Bella blushed and mumbled, “Not just that. I don’t like to see you lose.” Justin’s smile deepened. He wanted to hold her. “The money isn’t going anywhere else. I’m happy to lose to your father.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1112-Justin and Bella exchanged looks, and the romance in the air was hard to ignore.No words needed to be spoken. Their subtle gestures and the way they looked at each other spoke volumes of love.Lance furrowed his brows and glanced at Wyatt, who did not seem too happy either.“Alright. Do whatever you want. Your family business is booming, and you’re basically printing money. Make your own bets.” Bella turned her back to Justin, but she sneaked a grin.Christopher was furious to be cast aside.Justin noticed Christopher growing pale, his face handsome yet malice.He did not get the thrill of winning. On the contrary, he was afraid Christopher might be up to something. The only thing Justin feared was Bella getting hurt.Hence, Justin stuck closely behind Bella, proving he had her back always and forever.The heavyweights placed their bets. Ryan did not bet on the Thompsons’ or the Salvadors’ horses. Instead, he took Carrie’s advice to choose an all-white horse, which did not stand out too much in talent.It was only because the horse was good-looking.Women did not care for the price tag or functionality when looking at horses or cars. The only factor that came to mind was its looks.Ryan waved his arm and put $20 million on No. 14.Money was the one thing he had in excess. Thus, he spent $20 million to make his future wife happy.“Mr. Reed, care to place a bet?” Gregory stood next to both Wilsons and asked with a smile.“I’m interested, but betting horses isn’t just for entertainment. I see it as an investment too.” Wilson stared at the wide horse track through a pair of binoculars. I’m picking a nice horse with the perfect pedigree. If the horse is raised well and competes at a high level, I believe the owner must be a capable and successful individual.” Gregory furrowed his brows.It sounded like Wilson was looking for a new partner.Salvador Corporation has partnered with Journey Ventures to build the biggest commercial complex in Meridan next year. Everything was prepped and ready to go.The group wondered if Wilson had plans to work with other companies.“As you know, Meridan’s national flag has a horse on it. Horses are our national mascot, and horse riding is a well-loved sport by our people regardless of their social status. I had a meeting with my team last month, and we decided to partner with a company to build 4 five-star hotels with horse tracks in Meridan and your country,” Wilson said with a smile.3/3 “We have conducted market research and found that it isn’t a new thing in Meridan. However, Savrow doesn’t have a hotel operating in this capacity. Introducing hotels with this concept to major cities like Savrow will generate significant attention and immeasurable commercial value.” Wilson Jr. smiled haughtily, pleased with the company’s new investment proposal.The other attendees overheard the conversation too.Lance’s and Logan’s eyes lit up with ambition.Salvador Corporation would not dominate Savrow’s market if someone else signed a deal with Journey Ventures. Everybody wanted a piece of the pie.Keen on bagging the deal, Gregory clenched his fists.Although he was peeved that the Reeds did not give primary consideration to the Salvador Corporation, the foundation of their cooperation had been laid out. While Gregory was surprised that the Reeds cast a wider net to reach more talents, he understood the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1113-Gregory said with a confident smile “Mr. Reed, Salvador Corporation owns several horse tracks in Savrow and other cities. I dare say that my company has the most experience in the infrastructure of stables and tracks.” “Tsk. That’s a bold statement to make.” Logan mocked in hushed tones, contemptuous of Gregory’s choice words.

“Chairman Salvador, it’s true that your company owns multiple horse tracks, but I wouldn’t say your establishment has the most

experience, though.” Lance stepped in. “As the Iverson Group is playing host today, I think you know well that you’re standing in the largest horse tracks in Savrow.” Gregory kept his composure. “Well, this horse track is new. Back in the day, Salvador Corporation dominated the market.” Livid, Lance pushed his best friend to the forefront. “KS Group’s horse track dates back to 30 years ago. It was the biggest and remains the only track in Hatchbay. Wyatt wouldn’t even say that he dominated the market, but you sure have the nerve to make that claim.” Wyatt was taken aback.

Somehow, he was dragged into the conversation.

With his blood boiling, Gregory took a deep breath to calm down.

Lance kept bringing up his association with the Thompsons. He likely FTC got himself an ally to go up against Salvador Corporation.

“Besides, what’s the point of building a horse track? The breed, quality, and reliable inbound channels of the horses are most important. KS Group has more experience than Salvador Corporation in raising horses. KS Group has connections to acquire quality horses from abroad. They have a huge stable in Hatchbay, so the breed and quality are guaranteed. You don’t seem to know much about the market, Chairman Salvador. It’s understandable since Gen Z is taking over now.” Lance expressed his displeasure toward Salvador Corporation sarcastically.

The Gen Z comment got under Gregory’s skin.

“Mr. Reed, Hoffman Group owns stables and great horses. One of the horses we raised is in the race today. It’s No. 8. 8 is a good even number. Hahaha!” Liam swooped in as Logan was not in a position to speak.

If Liam could secure a partnership with Journey Venture, he would earn a favorable position in Hoffman Group and Logan’s mind, which would put him above Ryan.

Ryan was a bastard. Liam would rather Ryan just hover around Carrie for the rest of his life.

Sparks were flying between the three bigshots, while Wyatt stayed out of it.

“Bella, your dad sure holds his ground without getting into it with the others,” Justin murmured in Bella’s ear, clearly impressed.

“Don’t you find the opportunity from Journey Ventures tempting?” Bella peered at the man.

“It’s tempting.’ ” 3/3 “If you find it tempting, Wyatt won’t let the opportunity slip, too.” Bella nudged him with her elbow. “He’s just pretending to rise above it all. If he were honestly so noble, he wouldn’t have married four wives.” Justin was caught between laughter and tears. Bella did not hold back from putting her father down.

“He’s used to being on top. It has been years since he initiated contact about striking a deal. The potential partners either suck up to him or Ash handles the negotiations. He just can’t put his ego aside and make the first move.” Bella folded her arms and shook her head.

“So, what do we do now?” Justin slipped his arm around her waist, getting a little cheeky while no one was looking.

He ran his fingers along her waist down to her hips.

“Uh…”

 

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1114-To Justin’s surprise, Bella frowned and stomped her stiletto heel on his toes. Justin cried out in pain.

His leather shoes, which were worth thousands of dollars, did not matter. His toes were probably crushed.

“Have some respect, Mr. Salvador.” Bella flicked her hair back, her curls caressing his face, and the sensation stirred within him. “The next time, a hoof would be

stomping you instead.” Justin looked deep into her eyes, his voice hoarse. “Once we get home, can we…” “We’ll talk about it when we get home.” Bella spoke as if she were in charge, but her heart raced and her lashes fluttered bashfully.

Justin had no tears. It was up to Bella whether he could get lucky at all.

If only he could share his dilemma with someone.

“Everybody here has experience in managing a track and raising horses.” Intrigued, Wilson had an idea to test the waters with all potential partners. “Why don’t we have a little contest?” “A contest?” The group was surprised.

“I heard that you either chose or raised the horses that are in the race.

Why don’t we race? Journey Ventures will sign a deal with the person whose horse wins the race.” An uproar ensued.

It was rather dramatic, but Wilson had his reasons.

Firstly, the four prominent families were evenly matched, and each excelled in their respective areas. The race would be a great way to choose a partner, and the other three families would back down in a fair fight.

Secondly, Wilson was not keen on working with Salvador Corporation again. He was not happy with Justin Given Salvador Corporation’s power in Savrow, Wilson did not want to be obvious about his feelings. The competition would give Salvador Corporation a run for its money.

Bella furrowed her brows at the mention of a horse race.

She was dying to get her hands on the project.

As the ambitious woman she was, Bella wanted to seize every opportunity to make money.

Seeing through her thoughts, Justin whispered, “Didn’t you say Whistle isn’t exceptional? The horses my dad and the Hoffmans brought are great runners. I think they will set the competition apart. How sure are you of winning? If you’re not confident, I’ll get lan to switch to a different horse now.” Justin was truly her man, aiming to give her what she wanted.

“It’s too late now. Besides, Wyatt is proud and conceited. If you switch out his horse, you’re basically looking down on him.” Bella fell into contemplation. “It’s okay. The horse might not be the best, but the jockey can determine the outcome of the race too. No matter how impressive a car’s performance is, it won’t reach its full potential without the right driver at the wheel. Our jockey was an international champion, and he has worked with Whistle for many years. I believe they might surprise us with their performance.” Quentin rushed toward the group and nervously approached Wyatt. “We have a problem, Chairman Thompson.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1115-All eyes fell on Wyatt.

“What’s the matter?” Wyatt asked solemnly.

“Our jockey was trampled by an out-of-control horse while taking the horse for a stroll.” The Thompsons exchanged glances in shock.

“What?” With widened eyes, Wyatt asked anxiously, “How is he now? Is he

alright?” Wyatt was a capitalist, but he was kind to his people. The race was the least of his concerns, as the jockey’s safety took precedence.

Quentin wiped away his sweat. “He’s alright, but he’s bruised, and he has a broken arm. I had him delivered to the emergency room, but<

he’s in no shape to compete.” “All that matters is that he’s safe.” Wyatt sighed in relief.

“Whose horse injured him? The owner of the horse should take responsibility,” Celeste urged.

“Don’t worry, Celeste. Our jockey won’t suffer for nothing. I’ll make sure the owner takes full responsibility.” The Thompsons were in a difficult position.

Without a jockey, the family had to drop out of the competition and hand over the opportunity.

Tensing his jawline, Wyatt was reluctant to give up.

“Chairman Thompson, it’s such a shame that your horse can’t participate in the race.” Gregory expressed lament, but his lips curled. “But there is always next time.

You can try again next year.” Wyatt grimaced harder. ‘Justin took advantage of my daughter, Bella, and now Gregory thinks he can one-up me? Well, not on his watch!’ The Iversons and Hoffmans were relieved because they had one less opponent to compete with.

“A shame? You spoke too soon, Chairman Salvador.” Bella drew close with composure, her voice reflecting determination.

Our family is committed to success. We never let ourselves down.” Gregory froze, feeling tightness in his chest.

Bella’s words broke the tension in the air.

Justin narrowed his eyes tenderly at his woman. He looked forward to the surprise she would bring.

“Tsk! The bitch is at it again,” Bethany hissed through clenched teeth.

“Hmph! She’s just trying to get some attention because her family is out of the running.” Zoe twirled her curls and sneered, “She can fight for time, but where is she going to find help when the race is about to begin? If she’s any good, she could ride the horse herself. Hahaha!” As Zoe snickered, Bella said, unfazed, “Dad, I’ll represent KS Group.” The group was shocked.

What did that mean?

Was Bella volunteering herself to be the jockey? Justin gaped at Bella’s back, and his breath hitched.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1116-Zoe’s eyeballs could pop out of her head.Bethany snickered and teased, “Oh, your mouth is jinxed.” “Hmph! There’s no point in stopping her since she wants to play the hero. I hope she falls.” Zoe gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes dangerously at Bella’s confident face.“Can you do it, Bella?” Wyatt was worried and doubtful.“You know better if I can do it, Dad.” Bella winked at her father cheekily.Wyatt, Celeste, and Asher exchanged looks. They knew that Bella could ride. However, riding and racing were two different things.“Ms. Thompson, horse racing isn’t child’s play. The race concerns a commercial deal and the honor between our four families.Logan sized the insolent girl up. “It’s fine to back down from the competition. Chairman Thompson will be heartbroken if you fall or if anything happens to you.” In other words, Bella would be making a fool out of herself.They all believed Bella would embarrass herself.“Yeah, Ms. Thompson. Do you see any women competing? I don’t think you should participate.” Since Logan had spoken, Zoe joined in the taunting. “We know that you are competitive, but know your limits.” “Ms. Hoffman, do you think horse riding isn’t a sport for women, or do you believe women are inferior to men?” Bella looked indifferently at Zoe and smirked. “As far as I know, your grandmother was a well-known equestrian in her time. Your grandmother represented our country in international competition and brought home the trophy when equestrian wasn’t popular in our nation. Are you saying that your grandmother’s behavior was inappropriate? You can show me contempt, but are you giving your family the same attitude?” “You!” Zoe flushed embarrassedly. She just shot herself in the foot.Logan glanced at his reckless granddaughter and shook his head with a frown.“Um… Ryan.” Carrie drooped her shoulders. Her fingers gripped Ryan’s hand as she asked shyly, “Bella must have gotten on Zoe’s nerves again. I-Isn’t she scared?” “Scared? Why should Bella be scared of Zoe? Justin yields to Bella willingly. Nothing else in the world scares her. This is new.” Ryan grinned and held Carrie’s cold hand tight, caressing her at times.“No… That’s not what I mean.” Keeping her head down, Carrie murmured under her breath, “I’m scared… I’m scared that Zoe will pick on Bella.” “What did you say, Carrie?” Ryan did not catch what she said.“No! N-Nothing!” Carrie shook her head violently.As the nightmare of her past came back to haunt her, Carrie took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying hard not to be pulled back into her trauma. She broke out in a cold sweat.“Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” Bella smiled at Logan, her eyes sparkling. “Mr. Hoffman, thank you for your concern, but I don’t take risks unless I’m sure I can win.” Logan was taken aback. His opinion of the lady changed for the better.Bella’s fearlessness reminded him of his late wife.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1117-Logan had to stand by Zoe because she was his granddaughter. However, he had to admit that Bella was a fine, talented woman.

If Justin was dating Bella, Logan felt that he was not opposed to it.

“Dad, Aunt Celeste, Ash, it’s nearly time. I should change into my gear.” Bella waved at them and walked with Quentin to the tracks.

“Be careful, Bella!” Celeste shouted worriedly.

Bella looked back and gave her the thumbs up.

“The girl just can’t sit still. Maybe it’s not a bad thing to let her participate in the race.” While concerned, Wyatt did not wear it on his face.

Justin kept his eyes on Bella the whole time until she left his sight.

“You must be surprised. I bet you didn’t know Bella could ride.” Justin furrowed his brows as Christopher approached with a smile.

The two good-looking men stood alongside each other.

Only God knew how much they could not stand each other.

“Bella is a gift from God to me.” Justin murmured, “A gift is always a surprise.” “You just don’t know much about Bella. You don’t get her at all. There is no need to dress up your insecurities with such fancy language.” Justin’s breath hitched as he balled up his fists.

“Bella and I grew up together. We have gone through a lot of things together and know each other better than you know us. Don’t be delusional to think that she’s yours forever just because she’s taken in by your effort for now.” Christopher spoke in hushed tones with a smirk. “You’re living in a beautiful dream, but it will be painful when it’s time to wake up.” “Know each other? Have you honestly let Bella into your world, Christopher?” Justin laughed silently, his eyes deep. “You colluded with Maxwell and sent your men to South Island to kill Asher. Are you sure Bella knows about the man that you are?” “Don’t piss me off, Justin.” Christopher curled his lips menacingly, “I can make you suffer.” The smile on Justin’s face was both beautiful and terrifying.

“I look forward to the consequences of angering you.” Despite downing three glasses of champagne, Zoe could not shake off the burning rage.

She sat in the corridor of the lounge alone. While no one was around, she fished out a cigarette and took a puff out of it. Judging by the way she clipped the cigarette between her fingers, she was a longtime smoker.

“Why are you smoking and drinking away? Did Bella get on your nerves?” Bethany drew close while holding her long, elaborate skirt up.

“Get on my nerves? Who is she to get on my nerves?” Zoe narrowed her eyes and took another puff, her eyes bloodshot.

Bethany could not be bothered to expose her lies. She sat next to Zoe and asked her for a cigarette.

“The bitch can do whatever she wants, but Justin belongs to me. I will be the wife of Salvador Corporation’s president,” Zoe expressed.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1118-Bethany stuck her tongue out. The way Bethany saw it, Zoe was the one throwing her weight around.

A brief silence later, she sighed and wound Zoe up. “I think it won’t be easy for you even if you marry Justin.

“Justin is clearly in love with the bitch. You might just be cheated on.” Cheated on?

Zoe put out the cigarette as her grim-looking future played in her mind.

“I need to nip the problem in the bud before it comes back to haunt me.”

“Easy for you to say. Your family’s little antics might work on others, but Bella’s family is more powerful than yours. You have nothing on her. Otherwise, you’d have gotten to her a long time ago.” Bethany put out the cigarette in the ashtray. “I heard that Bella is a pretty good equestrian. She won first prize in the local youth equestrian competition when she was ten. She was interviewed abroad, but we simply didn’t know about it. The bitch is going to steal the limelight again. Our luck doesn’t seem to be changing soon.” Zoe scowled as a wicked plan came to mind. “I think our luck will change today.

Since she loves the limelight, she can make headlines by losing her limbs.” “What do you have in mind?” Bethany asked.

“The horse race is not just about the pride of our families, but the business deal too. I want Bella to suffer and KS Group to lose the project. Either way, I can’t let the Reeds pick them!” Since Zoe’s family owned a horse stable, she knew a thing or two about horses.

Her eyes flickered with ruthlessness. “It’s time for Bella to fall off her high horse, literally.” Bethany’s breath hitched as reality sank in.

Although Bethany hated Zoe, she had to admit that the girl had guts and no heart.

Half an hour later, the race entered its final stages of preparation.

Bella led Whistle out of the stable. Its black mane glistened under the sunlight as she tenderly stroked it.

The young horse seemed off, neighing frustratedly. Its head drooped dejectedly.

“What’s wrong, Whistle? Are you sick?” Bella asked worriedly.

The horse trainer who took care of Whistle with the injured jockey sighed.

“Whistle is the most emotional horse in the stable, Ms. Bella. It is closest to Malcolm. Whistle feels bad because Malcolm is hurt. It’s low in spirit.” “He’s such a good boy, even better than most men.” Touched, Bella drew close and murmured in Whistle’s ear. They were too close for Justin’s liking. “Whistle. Oh, Whistle. My sweet boy, 3/3 Whistle.” Whistle neighed as if to respond to her.

“I know you’re feeling down, and the last thing you want to do is race now, but your best friend worked hard for two months for the race. He will be upset if you don’t compete. You’re a good boy, Whistle. I’m sure you don’t want to disappoint your friend, right?” Bella whispered more in its ear.

Miraculously, Whistle found the will to go on.

Bella gleefully hopped onto its back with the utmost grace.

The horse trainer expressed how Bella looked like a warrior going to war.

Bella pulled the reins back, and Whistle raised its hooves.

“Come on!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1119-When the hour arrived, the jockeys led their horses to enter the racetrack as the crowd went wild.

The jockeys stood tall and proud amid the offering of flowers and applause.

The announcer introduced the participants and their horses.

While everybody paid attention to the horses they supported, only the VIPS kept their eyes out for a beautiful woman.

“The next contestant is…” The announcer stared at the name list and paused.

The place fell silent.

“The daughter of KS Group’s chairman, Ms. Bella Thompson.” The crowd clamored in surprise.

They could not believe Bella would be so bold to compete or that she was equipped with equestrian skills.

Bella was the manager of KS World Hotel, the jewelry designer Alexa, the fashion designer Sharon, and the miracle doctor Dr. Brown. Now, she’s adding jockey to the list.

She was full of surprises!

Nevertheless, jealousy reared its ugly head for some people.

“Can’t KS Group afford a jockey? Why must the chairman’s daughter Chap 1119 take part? That’s so degrading.” 213 “I know, right? The horse track is dirty and huge. I wouldn’t do it if it were me.” “The horse is an animal. What if it goes berserk and tramples on her?

The woman is willing to do anything for fame.” Dressed in black and white gear, Bella led Whistle confidently.

The crowd fixated on her. Even those who did not have anything good to say shut their mouths.

She was so beautiful.

Not a lot of women could pull off the monotonous riding gear.

However, Bella was about to overcome the shortcoming of the gear with her figure.

She was stunning with her bright eyes and tall, slender figure.

With Bella making an appearance, Justin rushed to the front and gripped the railing. His eyes were fixed on Bella.

“Bella…” He murmured his lover’s name. For some reason, he had the urge to cry.

Zoe stared resentfully at the man’s back and downed another drink with a smirk.

Justin could watch Bella all he wanted, as this would probably be the last of her.

The sight of his son, his pride and joy, groveling at Bella’s feet made Gregory grimace. Still, he knew better than to throw a fit. Instead, he took out his anger on Bethany. “Where’s your mother? The race is about to begin. Everybody is here for this crucial moment, but where did she go?” Annoyed, Bethany blurted, “How would I know? She’s your wife. You should know where she is.” Gregory furrowed his brows.

Come to think of it, Gregory sensed something fishy about Shannon, especially during the horse race. She had always stuck close to him, but now she kept her distance from him as if she were about to do something shameful.

“Paul.” “Yes, Chairman Salvador.” Paul drew close.

“Find Shannon and bring her back here.” Paul turned and left.

Bethany’s heart sank as she recalled that Shannon could be getting drugs from Simon at the race today. She was frightened and angry at herself for being a blabbermouth.

Hence, she took out her phone to send Shannon a text message

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1120-“Mom! Dad sent someone to look for you. Be careful!” Meanwhile, Bella stood out among the male jockeys. Ryan cheered her on, “Woohoo! You’re awesome, Bella! You can do it!” Carrie was not at all angry. She balled her fists as her eyes sparkled in anticipation.

The Hoffmans were speechless.

Nevertheless, they could do nothing about the situation. They simply pretended not to know Ryan.

“Why are you howling? Are you a wolf?” Justin tore into Ryan. “Be quiet. Are you the only one with a mouth around here?” “Hey, I’m a sensitive guy. If Carrie was in the race, I would hop over the railing and run with her along the track while cheering shamelessly.” Justin scoffed. Ryan was never one to know what shame was.

“You’re just acting all reserved.” Ryan patted Justin’s shoulder. “I know what you’re thinking. You’re the most nervous one here. I’m sure you’re worried about Bella. You should just shout at the top of your lungs like me. No one will know what’s on your mind if you don’t show it.” “I’m not flamboyant like you. Besides, who said I’m not showing it?” Justin swallowed hard, and he said in a raspy voice, “I’ll show her when we get home.” Ryan raised his brow and chuckled. “Spice up the bedroom life? I understand.” His best friend was aloof and rarely showed his emotions. The power of love had changed that.

Justin simply had not met the right person before.

The heavyweights in the VIP seats anxiously watched their horses, which were ready to give their all on the track.

Only the Reeds sat with composure.

Wilson Jr. stared at Bella in the fifth lane through a pair of binoculars, his eyes greedily ravishing her tightly clad legs. He swallowed and licked his lip.

The privileged heiress with a surprisingly wild side was up his alley.

At the end of the horse race, Wilson Jr. intended to persuade his father to ask the Thompsons for Bella’s hand in marriage.

Celeste had observed the Reeds for a while now. With Wilson Jr.’s attention on Bella, her alarm bells went ringing, and she whispered to Asher, “Ash, Wilson Jr. seems interested in Bella.” Asher’s face fell. “You can tell too?” He had already noticed Wilson Jr. ogling Bella.

“Um… What do we do? I’m a little scared.” Chap 1120 Celeste furrowed her brows with worry. “The Reeds run a top company in Meridan. Wyatt has talked about them before. We would have to engage with the family if we were to develop our business in Meridan. What if Wilson Jr. expresses his wish to marry Bella in exchange for a partnership?” Asher locked his brows in contemplation before comforting her.” That won’t happen. Wilson Jr. is pushing forty. He’s older than Bella by ten years. Besides, they are from Meridan. Camilla lives abroad with her husband now. Dad will never let Bella marry far from the family.” “Even so, Wyatt is trying to break Bella and Mr. Salvador up. He might just change his mind about the whole marriage thing.” Celeste felt restless.

“Although Dad doesn’t like Justin, he won’t ruin his daughter’s marriage for selfish reasons.” Asher spoke in a firm tone, but his face looked solemn.

Wyatt admired his precious daughter through binoculars and instructed his secretary to take a video and contact the organizer to add airtime for Bella too.

Bella stared straight ahead, her delicate body packed with power.

The two jockeys beside her gave her looks of disdain.

The delicate princess would probably sulk when she turned up in the last place later.

As the referee let out a shout, the participants leaned forward.

“You can do it, Whistle!” With her body tensing, Bella paced her breathing.

A starting pistol was fired.
