Ch. 121..130
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 121-Ryan was frightened by Justin’s ferocious gaze.
Justin was not so angry, even when Rosalind went abroad and left him three years ago.
In fact, Ryan was half-joking. He was always teasing his best friend.
Ryan was just making fun of Justin, but he did not expect Justin to blow up like that.
It seemed that Justin really cared about his ex-wife.
The bartender’s face turned pale with fear when he saw this. Not many people in Savrow dared to grab Ryan Hoffman by the collar.
“Justin, are you in love with Anna?” Justin realized that he was drunk. His heart trembled, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
“Justin, haven’t you noticed? Since your divorce, you’ve become quite abnormal.” Ryan looked at him deeply. “You have been my only friend since we were kids. Why won’t you tell me the truth?” “I don’t like her.” Justin spat out each word with force.
“Sure, you don’t like her. Let’s just pretend that you don’t.” “Ryan!” Ryan ignored his outburst and continued, “Justin, I told you that if you’re in love with Anna and want to get back together with her, then as your best friend, I will definitely support you and help you. But if you don’t mean that and just don’t like the fact that your ex-wife is being pursued by other men, then I hope you can give me a chance to fulfill my wish. I can see what my heart wants. I like Anna, and I want to pursue her.” Justin felt as if he had been shot in the chest. He slowly let go of Ryan and staggered back two steps.
Ryan straightened up, took a breath to calm down, and took out the sapphire necklace from his suit pocket.
“She…” Justin was startled.
“She didn’t accept it.” Ryan frowned and smiled bitterly. “Anna is not a materialistic woman. She returned the necklace to me as soon as she left you. Sigh… Justin, what on earth did you do to her in the past? When Anna sees you, she looks like she’s seeing an enemy. She’ll find any opportunity to provoke you and step on you. You two are really sworn enemies.” Justin’s thin lips tightened into a straight line.
His heart suddenly throbbed when he thought of how he had turned a blind eye to her thoughts in the past three years, the shredded handmade suit, and the wardrobe full of gifts.
After Bella got off work, she did not go home. Instead, she asked Steven to leave. Then she went to the cathedral in the west district of Savrow by herself.
The golden dome of the cathedral was magnificent and opulent.
Asher was wearing a black pastor’s uniform. He stood under the giant cross and held a Bible as he preached to churchgoers.
Bella sat quietly in the back row and listened carefully. Her eldest brother’s voice was so pleasant that she felt as if her body and mind were being purified from the inside out.
The sermon ended, and the churchgoers dispersed.
Asher closed the Bible and walked toward his sister with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?” Asher reached out to touch the top of her head.
“Well… I know you’re busy, so I don’t want to disturb you.” Bella smiled with squinted eyes.
“What’s bothering you?” Asher sat next to her and asked gently.
“Is it so obvious?” Bella sighed dejectedly with a bleak expression on her face. “Ash, I did something mean today. I took advantage of Ryan just to provoke Justin. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn’t control myself at the time! I saw Justin and Rosalind together. He was even competing with Ryan to buy Rosalind a necklace. I was heartbroken, so I wanted to hurt him too. I know that we’re divorced, so there’s no point in doing so, but I just want him to feel something for me, even if it’s hatred.” Asher let out a long sigh and put his arms around his sister’s trembling shoulders.
“Bella, do you still have feelings for Justin?” “I admit that I’m not completely over him yet. After all, I’ve loved him for a long time. I spent my entire youth pining for him, and those memories of him are unforgettable.” Bella rested her head on Asher’s broad shoulder. Her long eyelashes were wet with tears as she continued, “Ash, I’m so scared. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to love anyone else in the future. Justin has hollowed out my heart. I may never be able to fall in love again. There is no way I can love another man as much as I loved him…” “It’s only natural for you to feel this because you’ve been in love with him for so long. Bella, as long as your heart doesn’t stop beating, you will always be able to love again.” Asher lowered his eyelashes and patted her shoulders. “Don’t be afraid, Bella. We’re here for you, even if the sky falls. You just need to be yourself and bravely pursue your heart’s desire. Don’t leave any regrets in life.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 122-Bella said, “I pursued my heart’s desire, but it only left me with scars and a broken heart.” Bella smiled bitterly and looked so fragile. “I loved the wrong person at the wrong time, so I didn’t notice others around me.” Asher raised his eyebrows. He felt that Bella was mentally mature at her age, which was not a good thing.
Thus, he changed his mind and said with a chuckle, “Don’t be too pessimistic, Bella. You loved Justin so deeply, which shows that he has his advantages. He’s not entirely useless, so your youth isn’t wasted. You two are just not fated to be together.” “In the past, I thought that I had the best taste because the person I loved was invincible. But now that I look back at it all, I just feel so blind and dumb.” At this time, Bella’s phone vibrated.
It was Steven calling.
“Steve, what’s wrong?” She picked up the call.
“Finally, I can get through to you. Your signal is terrible!” Steven gulped and said in an excited tone, “Look at your social media and watch the live broadcast! Bethany is holding a press conference to publicly apologize to our hotel employee!” “What?!” Bella stood up in a hurry. She no longer felt dejected. Instead, her almond-shaped eyes widened and gleamed with surprise.
“Their press conference was very sudden. I guess that Salvador Corporation wanted to make it at the last minute to minimize the impact. Now, the live broadcast has already exceeded 5 million views, and the number is still rising! They should have stuck with their decision to the end. Now that they are doing this, they should show some sincerity. They’re so sneaky, and they don’t act like a conglomerate. KS Group is so much better than them!” Bella suddenly realized something.
The Salvadors’ attitude changed too quickly.
Yesterday, Bethany looked like she was going to fight Bella to the end. There was no way she would give in so soon. Something must have happened in the meantime that forced Bethany to change her mind.
Gregory always treated Bethany as the apple of his eye, and Shannon also protected her. The Salvadors would not let Bethany embarrass herself.
Who was adding fuel to the flames?
Was it Justin?
Bella shook her head vigorously, wanting to shake this idea off. However, no one else except Justin could force Bethany to submit.
If it was Justin, why would he do this?
Bella took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and watched the live broadcast.
There were so many viewers watching the live broadcast. The comments kept coming, covering Bethany’s pale face on the screen.
Bethany was already standing on the stage, wearing a black dress, and bowing to a group of reporters. Her face was pale and gloomy.
[Hahaha! This is karma! So what if she’s rich? Does she really think that she can do whatever she wants?] [Did Bethany wear makeup? Why does she care to look good in this situation? She’s clearly stupid! Even if she’s pretending, she should put more effort into it.] [Tsk, tsk! She’s such a bimbo!] [She’s certainly stupid, but I don’t think she’s pretty!] Bella looked at the barrage of negative comments and smiled sinisterly.
“Due to the loss of my personal belongings, I vented my emotions on an innocent hotel employee, causing the lady to have an epileptic seizure. Once again, I am deeply sorry and remorseful…” Bethany bowed and pretended to look pitiful. She tried so hard but could only squeeze out two drops of tears.
“But like everyone else, I am just an ordinary person. Sometimes, I can’t control my emotions when I am troubled, so I hope that you all won’t be too harsh on me. In the past two days, I have been cyberbullied and suffered from insomnia every day. I almost had a mental breakdown. I admit that I was wrong, but I hope that everyone can look at this matter rationally… Please don’t escalate it to my family and stop insulting them. Thank you, everyone…” [Bethany Salvador is clearly playing the victim here in her so-called apology.] [That victim hasn’t even complained, but the attacker is now pretending to be pitiful.] [If we hadn’t criticized her online, there was no way Bethany would have apologized to that girl. She will probably cover this up!] [Crocodile tears! I don’t feel pity for her at all!] Bella narrowed her foxy eyes and smiled even deeper.
Bethany was loved by the Salvador family. Today was undoubtedly the biggest humiliation she has suffered in the past 25 years.
Naturally, Bethany was unconvinced, but Bella did not care.
If Bethany admitted defeat just like that, it would be boring.
Suddenly, Bella received another call, which interrupted her from enjoying the live broadcast.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 126-The bullet fired from the gun missed Drew.
“Ow… It hurts…” Bella, who appeared out of nowhere, hugged Drew tightly. The metallic ball bullet hit her left shoulder!
Although it was not a real gun, it still had quite a strong impact.
Bella was in so much pain that her smooth forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she was trembling all over.
Even so, she still hugged Drew tightly and would not let go.
Justin was so shocked that his pupils trembled. He felt as if he had stepped off a tall building, and his heart plummeted to the ground.
Every part of his body was in pain, but all the pain combined was not as hurtful as seeing Anna take a bullet for another man.
The first thing Anna did when she saw him being attacked was not to come to his aid but to protect the murderer who was trying to kill him.
Justin thought, ‘Anna, how could you do this to me? There should be a limit to how much you hate me. How could you be an accomplice for murder?’ “Baby sis!” Drew’s eyes widened. He grabbed Bella’s trembling shoulders. But when he opened his palms, he saw that they were stained with blood.
He gasped and became infuriated. His heart ached as if he were shot.
“Ryan Hoffman! I’m going to kill you!” Ryan was also stunned. He dropped the fake gun on the ground and stood there in a daze.
He did not know how Anna appeared so fast. He had no time to react. Otherwise, he would not have fired this shot.
“Drew Brown!” Bella leaned weakly into Drew’s embrace and gritted her teeth. “If you still want me to recognize you as my brother, you’d better get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!” “But…” Bella glared at Drew and shoved him away without saying another word.
Drew felt a stab in his heart. He knew that his little sister was really angry with him this time. If he did not leave, he would really lose her.
Thus, he had no choice but to leave quickly. Then he would contact Asher to send their baby sister to seek medical treatment.
Bella breathed a sigh of relief. She ignored her own wound and ran over to check on Justin’s injuries.
“Mr. Hoffman, please call an ambulance right away. They both need to be sent to the hospital for treatment.” “But you’re also injured! You have to get treatment immediately!” Ryan felt so guilty that his voice choked.
“I know my own body… It’s not a big deal.” Bella gritted her teeth and endured the pain. Then she stretched out her hands to do a preliminary examination for Justin.
“Stop pretending, Anna… Get away from me!” Justin lay flat on the ground, panting. His eyes were burning with anger.
He hated her for helping the murderer escape, but more than anything, he was worried that her injuries would worsen, so he wanted her to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
“I’ll leave after examining you. Don’t worry.” Bella lowered her long eyelashes and stubbornly groped his legs with her soft hands, checking for any fractures.
There were bruises on his handsome face and blood stains on his thin lips. His suit, which was usually spotless, was extremely dirty.
Bella still had feelings for Justin, so she felt distressed.
She secretly cursed Drew. “That careless devil! How can he be so ruthless?!’ “Get lost! Don’t you understand English?!” Justin was angry and anxious, so he shouted at her.
“No! You can’t take this lightly because you have old injuries. I have to make sure that you’re fine before I can leave!” Bella was also anxious and yelled back at him. Her eyes were red.
Justin’s eyes were locked on Bella’s serious and beautiful face. He felt suspicious.
‘How did she know that I have old injuries? Did Ryan tell her?’ Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Justin and Ian to the nearest hospital for medical treatment.
Fortunately, Justin only had superficial injuries. There were no muscle or bone injuries, and his old injuries were not affected. Thus, Bella was relieved.
In the hospital, Ryan stayed by Bella’s side the entire time, besides when they were taking out the metallic ball from her shoulder.
“How is it? Do you have any fractures?” Ryan’s heart leaped to his throat when he saw Bella coming out of the consultation room with a pale face.
Bella smiled slightly and shook her head. “It’s nothing, just a few stitches.” “A few stitches… You think that’s nothing?!” Ryan felt that he might have a cardiac arrest. He paused with his arms raised helplessly in the air. His tone was remorseful as he said, “Will this have any after-effects? Will you have difficulty moving your arm in the future? Anna, you must tell me the truth!” “Pft!” Bella did not know whether to laugh or cry. She teased him in a soft voice. “You sound like you want me to be disabled. If I am really disabled and I can’t raise my arm anymore, what will you do, Mr. Hoffman?” “I’ll marry you.” Bella frowned. “What?” responsibility for you, Anna. If you are really disabled, then I will marry you, and I will never let you suffer again.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 123-Bella quickly picked up the phone and said in a sweet voice, “Hey, Ax.” “Bella! Why is it so hard to get through to your phone?” Axel sounded anxious.
“Did something happen?” Bella frowned.
“Did your fourth brother contact you today?” “No… Why? What happened?” Axel sighed worriedly. “I drank with Drew last night, and we both got drunk. In a drunken stupor, uttered something worrying…” Bella’s heart skipped a beat.
he Her fourth brother had a quirk. Most people could not be taken seriously when drunk, but Drew would always fulfill whatever he said when he was drunk the next day.
While most people could not remember anything they said when they were drunk, Drew was born with an extraordinary memory. Even if he was too drunk to stand up, he could still remember everything he said clearly. Such transcendent memory was also one of his skills that made him a top special agent.
“What did Drew say?!” Bella became even more nervous. She had a bad premonition.
“He said he wanted to kill Justin!” Bella’s mind was shaken. If Asher had not steadied her in time, she would have fallen over.
“Drew flew thousands of miles back home just to avenge you! He said last night that he wanted to teach Justin a lesson. He would castrate Justin, if not kill him! Otherwise, he would not be able to get over the hatred in his heart. I thought he would listen to you and let Justin go. But he mentioned it again after getting drunk last night. I called him all day today, but he didn’t answer the phone. Do you think he really went to attack Justin?!” Bella’s heart was pounding. She did not even bother to explain to Asher before turning around and running outside the church.
Bethany was still at the site of the press conference.
Public resentment increased because Bethany was not sincere in admitting her mistake. The netizens criticized her even more.
In fact, before the press conference, Shannon had already made a draft for Bethany and made sure she memorized it. She also warned Bethany not to put on makeup on stage.
However, Bethany had her own ideas. She was arrogant and stubborn, refusing to give in. Secondly, she was confident that she could earn a wave of popularity as “the most beautiful lady in the elite circle” with her beauty.
In the end, everything backfired. Bethany did not quell the fire but got into more trouble.
[Now, I have a better impression of the KS World Hotel. They have great service and excellent employees like that “Angel”. Their hotel will certainly gain popularity!] [I really don’t like the Salvador family! I will never book their hotels when I travel in the future!] [That’s right! Let’s boycott Salvador Corporation and make them bankrupt by dawn!] As soon as Bethany finished apologizing, the reporters in the audience swarmed up to her. They shoved their microphones in Bethany’s face and asked difficult questions.
Bethany had never before experienced such chaos. She was so frightened that her legs became weak. She quickly walked down the stage under the protection of two bodyguards.
She did not pay attention to the steps in front of her, so she twisted her ankle and stumbled to the floor. She screamed and felt embarrassed.
This scene was captured on camera.
The two tall bodyguards hurriedly picked her up and carried her away as quickly as possible. She looked like a helpless fledgling.
Five minutes later, the number-one trending search was #BethanySalvadorFallingFlatOnHerFace.
As Bethany wished, she became popular all over the internet.
On the other hand, Justin and Ryan leaned on each other as they walked out of ACE Club. They were at each other’s throats in the beginning, but now they were arm in arm.
Being drunk together could wipe out all grudges.
Justin and Ryan drank a lot. Ryan had a high alcohol tolerance, so he was just tipsy.
Justin had too much whiskey because he was in a bad mood. At this moment, his eyes were half- closed. He stretched out his hand to loosen his perfect tie. His handsome face flushed and dazed.
Ryan was afraid that Justin would roll down the stairs, so he quickly hugged him.
“Justin, are you drunk?” “No…” Justin pinched his nose bridge and felt lightheaded. “Why does my head hurt so much after drinking… Did you serve me fake alcohol?” “What the fuck! You’re a shitty friend. I think you’re the reason Anna ran away.’ Ryan was a straight man. Otherwise, he would probably want to take Justin to bed because he thought that Justin was attractive.
Justin let out a hot breath and pushed Ryan away. “I’m leaving.” “Hey! Let me send you home.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 124-Justin said, “I’m not drunk. Don’t look down on me.
“I’m just afraid that other men will take advantage of you!” Ryan frowned, looking anxious.
“Do you think everyone is a beast like you?” Justin squinted his eyes and smirked. Then he walked toward his car without looking back.
1/2 Justin’s Maybach was driving on a deserted road.
“Mr. Salvador, the press conference is over. There are more negative comments about Ms. Bethany than before. This has already affected the reputation of the Salvador family and even Salvador Corporation.” Ian reported worriedly while driving, “The impact is greater than we thought…” “Salvador Corporation?” Justin’s head was lowered, and his eyes were dim. “Right. They only want me around to clean up mess.” their He had never regarded the Salvador family as his own. Aside from his grandfather, no one in the Salvador family treated Justin like family, including his biological father, Gregory.
In that case, Justin did not mind sacrificing Bethany tonight so he could watch them collapse.
Justin thought, ‘They used me and hit my wife. Bethany deserves this punishment, if not more!’ Justin was startled by the fact that he referred to Anna as his wife. His heart trembled at the idea.
He thought, ‘Did that scheming and temperamental woman play along and flirt with Ryan to slap me in the face or stab me in the heart?’ Justin tugged on his tie again in annoyance. A fire gradually rose in his chest.
“Ian, pull over.” “Yes, sir.” Ian hurriedly parked the Maybach on the side of the road, next to a park.
“Mr. Salvador, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need a sick bag?” Ian thought that Justin wanted to vomit and asked with concern.
“You look like a sick bag to me.” Justin glared at Ian.
Ian was insulted for no reason and felt aggrieved.
“Wait here. I’ll take a walk.” Justin opened the door and got out of the car. Then he walked straight to the park.
The road was deserted, and the evening breeze was refreshing.
Justin walked slowly along the lake shore, squinting his eyes and feeling the breeze. His depressed mood was alleviated.
He felt that he would vomit if he sat in the car any longer.
Suddenly, Justin stopped in his tracks and frowned.
“Who is it? Come out!” “Hah! Your ears are very sensitive, like a dog’s.
3)
Justin could hear the sarcasm in the man’s voice. He slowly turned around and saw a tall and well- built man standing not far away. The man looked rugged and dangerous.
He was wearing a black windbreaker, a black shirt, black trousers, and a black mask. His short, black hair swayed in the wind.
The man blended in with the night.
“Who are you? Why are you following me?” Justin’s voice was cold. His dormant muscles under his restrictive suit were tense.
“Isn’t it obvious that I came to find fault with you?” Drew’s lips, which were hidden behind the mask, quirked up devilishly.
“Why?” “Because you bullied someone important to me, and she suffered because of you.” Drew tilted his head mischievously and clenched his fingers, popping his knuckles in the process. She’s not easy to coax, but I think she will feel better if you become a hundred times more miserable than she is.” Justin focused his gaze on the man not far away.
He felt that this man’s eyes and voice were somewhat familiar, but he could not remember who it was.
Drew approached Justin step by step, and the place he walked past was replaced by the cold wind.
“Who is the person who is important to you? When have I bullied anyone?” Justin braced himself, but his expression was unchanged.
“Hah! I thought that I’d let you off easy if you had some self-awareness. But I’m too kind to you. A heartless scumbag like you won’t have any sense of remorse. If I don’t let you suffer, you won’t know the meaning of retribution.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 125-After that, Justin saw the man in front of him rushing toward him, moving so silently like a ghost.
Drew wanted to cripple Justin, so his strikes were powerful and as fast as lightning.
Justin’s eyes darkened. He ducked and barely dodged him.
“Hah! You have some moves, huh?” Drew narrowed his eyes. His tone was full of mockery.
Justin’s eyes were ablaze as he took two deep breaths.
Justin had long since retired from the army. Although he had never fallen behind in his physical fitness and training, he had not fought with anyone in a long time.
All Justin relied on at the moment were his excellent foundation and muscle memory.
The two grown men exchanged a few moves. Justin suddenly realized that his opponent’s moves were very familiar.
There were traces of the close combat skills they once learned in the military academy.
Justin thought, ‘Who is this man?!’ “Ooof!” While Justin was distracted, Drew kicked him in the abdomen. Justin was severely injured, but he did not fall and only staggered back two steps.
What a tough guy!
“Mr. Salvador!” Ian shouted when he saw this scene. He panted and rushed to Justin’s side to help him. “Are you okay?” “I’m fine.” Justin suppressed the pain and coughed lightly.
“How dare you hit Mr. Salvador?! I’ll fight you!” Ian’s eyes turned red with anger as he ran toward Drew.
“Ian! Come back!” Justin wanted to stop Ian, but it was too late.
Ian was not a trained fighter, so he was just waiting to be killed.
“Hah! Don’t overestimate your own capabilities!” Sure enough, Ian was knocked unconscious with a left hook before he could even touch Drew’s collar.
Justin saw red. “We must know each other, right? Who are you?!” Drew sneered and raised his eyebrows.
Of course, they knew each other. They both went to the same military academy and were both popular. However, aside from training together, Justin and Drew had no personal interactions.
“Don’t you want to know who is the most important person to me? There’s no harm in telling you.” Drew stepped over Ian’s limp body and took two steps closer to Justin. He smiled devilishly as he said, “The person I hold dearest to my heart is your ex-wife.” Justin’s eyes widened, and his fingers trembled. He clenched his fists tightly and yelled, “Go to hell!” Justin’s strong muscles, which were restricted under his gray suit, became tense as he attacked Drew.
The next second, Justin rushed toward Drew, and the two men started beating each other up.
Drew’s eyes darkened. He discovered that, although Justin had not been a soldier for many years, his fighting skills had not deteriorated. Moreover, Justin was wearing a slim-fitting suit. It was restrictive to his motions, but Justin could still be so agile. Drew knew not to underestimate Justin.
Justin was like the handsome suit-wearing male lead in the movies.
After dozens of moves, Justin gradually lost ground. He was so drunk that he became dizzy, and his limbs became weak. It was a miracle that he had managed to hold on until now.
Finally, Drew knocked him to the ground, and Justin felt a sharp pain in his back.
“Die, you bastard!” Just when Drew was thinking about kicking Justin to vent his anger, another man suddenly shouted at him, “How dare you hit my best friend?! Who gave you such courage to offend me?” Ryan ran over as fast as he could and stood in front of Justin. His eyebrows were raised, and his charming eyes were blazing with anger.
“Ugh, another one. How troublesome.” Drew narrowed his eyes. However, he suddenly stopped moving when he saw a black muzzle.
Ryan actually took out a pistol from nowhere and pointed it at Drew’s head.
“Don’t come closer! Otherwise, I’ll blow your head off!” Ryan was actually panicking. He witnessed Justin and that man fighting when he first arrived and immediately thought that he had to show the attacker his gun.
“Ryan, don’t mess around!” Justin caught his breath, but his abdomen was cramping in pain.
“Fuck! Justin, are you okay? He almost killed you, but you want me to show mercy?!” Ryan was furious and yelled at Drew, “If you don’t want to die, get out of here right now! Or else, I’ll shoot you! My family can easily make you disappear from Savrow without anyone noticing.” Drew did not care about his threat. Instead, he took another step forward and glared at Ryan.
“Justin, run!” Ryan shouted. His heart was pounding, and he pulled the trigger.
“Ryan! Stop!” Bang-!
A gunshot was fired.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 127-Bella thought, ‘What the hell! Is Ryan okay?!’ Bella screamed in her heart and laughed dryly. “Mr. Hoffman, you have a lot of jokes today…” “I’m not kidding, Anna. I’m serious!” Ryan was agitated and wanted to hold Bella’s shoulder, but Bella quickly stepped back and dodged him.
“Mr. Hoffman, if I remember correctly, I have already told you my stance during the day. Do you want me to say something particularly unpleasant and hurtful in order for you to understand?” “I know. You rejected me.” Ryan looked at her deeply and smiled bitterly. “I also know that you’re with Asher now, but I want to tell you that I will always be standing right behind you. As long as you look back, I don’t mind being your rebound guy or sidepiece.” Bella thought, ‘Sidepiece?! Does he think I’m like Wyatt?!’ Ryan’s eyes were alluring, especially when they were filled with such sadness and sincerity. They could hook one’s soul. No wonder he was so popular with the ladies.
Unfortunately, Bella was completely immune to Ryan’s charms.
In comparison, Bella preferred Justin’s beautiful eyes, which were more ruthless than affectionate.
“By the way, Anna, who is the man who attacked Justin? Are you close to him?” Ryan asked nervously.
“Young Madam!” Just when Bella was at a loss about how to answer that question, Ian walked toward them in a hospital gown.
“Why did you get out of bed?” Bella hurriedly brushed past Ryan and stepped forward to support Ian. “Although you weren’t seriously injured, you still had a slight concussion when you fell and hit your head on the ground. You should rest more. Don’t move around.” “Young Madam, were you the one who rescued Mr. Salvador?” Ian asked excitedly.
“I… I didn’t do anything.” Bella’s voice was dull. She felt guilty about what happened.
“I knew you still have feelings for Mr. Salvador!” “Mr. Harris, has Mr. Salvador completed his treatment?” Bella ignored Ian and changed the subject.
Ian nodded. His eyes were hopeful as he said, “Young Madam, can you please stay? At least… you can just take a look at Mr. Salvador.” Bella took a deep breath and walked toward Justin’s ward with sluggish steps.
After all, her brother beat Justin. Everything happened because of her, so she could not let it be.
In the ward, Justin was leaning on the bedside and looking out the window. Even though his face was bruised, he still looked very handsome. His stern and proud face looked a little lonely at the moment. He even looked a little fragile.
It was this face that Bella had loved for 13 years.
To this day, her heart was still moved when she saw him, but the feeling was no longer the same.
“Mr. Salvador.” “I will find out who did this tonight and pursue responsibility to the end. Before I get angry, you’d better disappear from my sight!” Justin’s voice was cold, and his face was glum.
Bella had always been stubborn and rebellious. She liked to go against orders.
She walked to the bed and stared at the man’s gloomy face fearlessly. “Mr. Salvador, I am here to solemnly apologize to you for what happened tonight. If you’re mad, you can come at me and hold me accountable. After all, he only hurt you because of me, so I won’t shirk this responsibility. If you want to settle it privately, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter. I don’t think you want to make this public knowledge and deal with your ex-wife in court, right? You’re a respectable person, and you’re about to marry Ms. Gold. Getting entangled in a lawsuit with your ex-wife will probably attract a lot of speculation. It’ll just make you look bad. Also, if this matter gets big, Grandpa will catch wind of it, and we won’t be able to explain it. Don’t you think so?” Every sentence shook Justin’s heart.
He thought, ‘Anna is siding with that murderer! She’s defending him and taking on all the blame for him. How could she protect him like that?! She even protected a murderer, but what about me? Who am I to her? What a joke!’ “Anna… Who is he and what is his relationship with you? You were willing to die for him.” Justin’s eyes were red, and his heart was aching.
“That wasn’t a real gun, and I’m not dead. I’m fine.” Bella’s eyes were calm.
“Is there a difference? It makes no difference the moment you took the bullet for him!” Justin tried to get off the bed, but his whole body was in pain, and he had no strength. He pounded his fists on the bed angrily. “You’ve been married to me for three years, and you keep saying you love me … But look at what you did! None of the things you did lately show that you love me. Do you take me as a fool?!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 128-Under the influence of alcohol, Justin vented all his resentment.
Justin was an extremely self-disciplined and restrained man. When he was shot on the battlefield, he did not even wince. However, he could not bear it anymore.
“Mr. Salvador, you’re angry not because you were beaten or because I almost died from a gunshot. You’re only angry because you think I lied to you?” Bella’s heart throbbed in pain as an overwhelming feeling of disappointment engulfed her.
Justin was startled. He pursed his thin lips in silence.
“Justin, we are already divorced, so why do you care about this? It’s meaningless.” Bella sneered. “You’re mad that what originally belonged to you has become someone else’s. You hate the feeling of losing control over me. That’s all. Mr. Salvador, for the sake of your health, let’s just cut to the chase and talk about compensation.” “If you want to settle it in private, that’s fine too.” Justin closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were bloodshot. “Tell me who that man is and your relationship with him. Then we can settle this privately.” “No,” Bella said without thinking.
“Then leave Asher and cut off all contact with the Thompson family. If you do that, I’ll agree to a private settlement.” “Hah! Dream on!” Bella thought, ‘This man is so shameless to push his luck!’ Bella’s cherry lips parted. They looked so beautiful that Justin was a little dazed.
Justin narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if he was attracted to her because he had not sobered yet. At that moment, he just found her so sexy.
up Coming from a wealthy family, Justin had seen his fair share of beautiful women. He was confident that he could resist all temptations.
However, he found it difficult at this moment.
“Since you’re not serious about negotiating compensation, I will get my secretary to resolve this issue with you. I won’t disturb your rest. Goodbye.” Suddenly, Bella felt a tug on her arm. Justin found strength from nowhere and pulled her into his arms.
Bella slammed into Justin’s solid and heaving chest.
“Justin! You…” The next second, Justin kissed her lips.
“Justin… Let go…” Bella was so anxious that her forehead was sweaty. She punched his broad shoulders with her little fists.
After three years of marriage, Justin had never taken the initiative to hold her hand, let alone kiss her.
Now, Justin was kissing her as if he were out of control.
At this thought, a wave of anger rose in Bella’s chest. Her eyes were red, and she bit Justin’s lips.
“Ow!” Justin felt the pain and let go of her.
“Asshole! Scumbag!” Bella was furious and ashamed. She raised her hand and slapped Justin in the face.
Her handprint was clear on Justin’s handsome face.
Justin’s eyes were burning with anger, but when he saw the tears in her eyes and her swollen lips, his heart clenched, and his mind went blank for a while.
“Justin! What do you take me as? You trampled on my self-esteem when we were married, but now you’re harassing me after we got divorced! What on earth do you want before you’re willing to let me go?!” Bella was shaking with anger. She wiped off the smeared lipstick on her lips with the back of her hand.
Her voice was trembling as she said, “You can give up on the thought of keeping me as your mistress and doing whatever you please with me! The next time this happens, I will crush you!” After saying that, she glared at him with hatred, turned around, and left angrily.
Justin clenched his teeth as he endured the pain in his chest from that hateful glance.
He thought, ‘What the hell was I thinking? I kissed her. I must be crazy!’ As soon as Bella left, Ryan came into the ward.
“Justin, did you quarrel with Anna just now? You two were so loud that I could hear you outside.” When Ryan saw Justin’s bruised lips, he immediately shrieked. “Ah! You… What’s wrong with your lip? Did you… Did you… Fuck! You’re such a scumbag! You have a fiancée!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 129-Justin used his teeth to rub against his blood-stained lips. When his headache struck, he felt sober again.
He had never kissed a woman on his own initiative.
The only two times he kissed someone were when Rosalind took the initiative to come up to him. Even then, he only let her kiss the corner of his lips.
He never expected how much he craved Anna’s lips this time, so much so that he lost control.
Justin could not understand his behavior.
“I drank too much tonight. I haven’t sobered up.’ ))
Justin leaned back weakly and pinched his nose bridge. “I can’t drink like this anymore. It’s too easy to make mistakes.” “Bullshit! You’re just a drunken hooligan! You just harassed Anna, you scumbag!” Ryan clenched his fists and stomped around in anger. If Justin was not already seriously injured, he would have wanted to beat Justin up.
Justin lost control of his emotions under the influence of alcohol.
However, he had to admit that the moment he kissed his ex-wife, that sweet taste was unexpectedly delicious.
“Justin, you’re so heartless. You shouldn’t have taken advantage of Anna while she’s injured! She has had several stitches. How could you still forcefully kiss her?!” Ryan felt sorry for his crush and yelled at Justin.
Justin frowned, and his heart clenched.
Bella ran into the bathroom to fix her hair and rinsed her flushed cheeks with cold water. Then she dragged her exhausted body out of the hospital.
Her beautiful eyes were watery and filled with mixed emotions.
She thought, ‘We are already divorced. How could he kiss me like that? He’s so disrespectful and hateful!’ “Bella!” At this time, a tall man rushed over and hugged her tightly.
“Bella! I’m sorry for being late!” Asher’s eyes were teary, and he felt extremely distressed.
“Ash, I’m fine…” (<
Asher knew that her left shoulder was injured, so he dared not touch it. He hugged her and said, Does the wound still hurt? Let’s take you back to the Thompson Hospital and find the best doctor to take another look.” “It’s fine.” Bella grim.
put away her messy emotions and took a deep breath. Her eyes were cold again, and her face was “Where is Drew? Get him to come and see me!” Bella’s villa seemed shrouded in gloom, as if a storm was brewing.
Asher was sitting far away at the table, drinking tea, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Axel and Steven were standing next to Bella. The two men, who were about 1.8 meters tall, looked somewhat weak and helpless compared to Bella’s chilling and oppressive vibe.
“Ahem, Ms. Bella… Drew is your biological brother. Why don’t you calm down first?” Steven was nervous for Drew and whispered some advice to Bella.
“Yeah, Bella. Drew is a special agent, so I’m sure he knows how to control his strength. He just wants to help you teach that jerkface Justin a lesson.” Axel felt the murderous intent radiating from Bella’s body and was frightened.
“Special agent? I think he’s more like a professional assassin!” Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 130-Bella looked at Axel coldly. “Axel, when you called me earlier, you were worried that Drew would do something to Justin. It has only been a few hours since, but you changed your tune already?” “Oh, so you’re the one who ratted me out! Axel, you snitch!” Drew narrowed his sharp eyes and glared at Axel. He gritted his teeth and said, “Just you wait! I’ll rip out your balls!” “How dare you talk to your older brother like that?! You’re so disrespectful! Baby sis, please don’t hold back and unleash hell on this psycho. You should just throw him into the furnace!” Axel saw that it was useless to persuade Bella, so he simply added fuel to the fire.
Anyway, Drew would not survive tonight, and Axel did not want to get implicated.
“Drew Brown! You still have the nerve to yell at Axel? Do you still refuse to admit your mistake?!” Bella raised her eyebrows in anger.
“What did I do that’s so wrong? Since ancient times, beauty has been the downfall of great heroes. I’m just getting rid of that homme fatale for you, baby sis!” Drew frowned and had a rebellious look on his face.
“You’re ridiculous!” Bella was so angry that she slapped the armrest of the sofa. As a result, she injured her shoulder and winced from the pain.
“Bella, what’s wrong?” “Baby sis, are you okay?! Don’t scare me!” “Ms. Bella, are you alright?! I’ll get the car and take you to the hospital right now!” Asher, Axel, Drew, and Steven instantly panicked. The four grown men surrounded Bella worriedly, as if she were about to deliver a baby.
Drew knelt on one knee in front of Bella, carefully took her delicate hand, and pressed it to his heart. His face turned pale with fright.
“Baby sis, does your wound hurt? It’s all my fault… You can hit me and scold me all you want!” “Do you finally admit your mistake this time?” Bella gasped lightly as a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead.
“I…” Drew thought of how Bella sacrificed herself and took the bullet for him. He regretted his actions so much that his breathing became difficult. “Bella, I’m so sorry… I just couldn’t bear seeing my favorite sister suffer because of that piece of shit. You’re the apple of our eyes, and we have showered you with love. But that bastard Justin hurt you and made you sad, so he must pay the price!” “Drew, I’ll only say this one last time.” Bella’s eyes instantly turned red. She said word for word, “I married Justin on my own accord. No one forced me. I knew he was in love with someone else, and I knew how cold he was. At that time, I thought my passion could warm him. I thought I could make him fall in love with me, but in the end, I failed. I should be held responsible for my choices. It has nothing to do with him. They are my problems, so I won’t allow you to cause trouble for him. I won’t allow you to hurt him!” Drew was shocked to hear this.
“Drew, I can’t get over this.” Bella sighed quietly, with a hint of pain in her eyes. “To be honest, I have been in love with Justin for so long that even though we are divorced now, he’s still important to me. Can’t we just let everything end quietly? Why do you have to do this to keep getting me involved in his life when I’m ready to start over? When you hit him, did you ever think about my feelings?” “Bella, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault. Please give me another chance! I’ll do whatever you want! I will never find fault with Justin again!” Drew begged with watery eyes.
He had carried out many dangerous missions without flinching, but he was frightened when he saw that his sister might not forgive him.
“Baby sis…” Bella’s sad eyes flickered with a sly thought. She pouted and said in a soft voice, “Then go home with me to have dinner with Wyatt in two days.” Asher and Axel looked at each other, exchanging a knowing look.
Drew was reluctant, but he had to compromise in order to coax Bella. “Fine! I’ll go back with you.”
