Ch. 1341..1350

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1341-That evening, Bella and Justin were set to return to their own place.

As they were about to leave, Carrie threw herself into her sister-in-law's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, crumpling Bella's black dress, and soaking the front of it with her tears.

One might have thought they would never see each other again.

Bella took her time to console Carrie, promising frequent visits and earnestly advising Ryan to not always bury himself in minor troubles at the Hoffman Group. She told him to find time to take Carrie out more, so she would not feel like a caged canary, deprived of the joy of freedom.

Ryan swore vehemently and embraced his tearful, petite girlfriend, standing at the door to see them off.

As their car pulled away, Bella could not hold back any longer. Her shoulders shook as tears, clear and sparkling like fallen stars, trailed down her cheeks.

"Don't cry, Bella."

Justin's breath quickened out of concern as he enveloped her quivering shoulders with his strong arm, drawing her close to soothe her and gently rubbing his chin against her head.

"It's not like you're never going to see her again. If you miss Carrie, we can invite her to stay with us for a while. Or I could buy a larger villa. If you'd like, she could live with us permanently. Yasmin will become the CEO's secretary, so she'll be very busy. Having Wilma take care of Carrie is most suitable."

"Hmph… Can you even call yourself Ryan's best friend for coming up with such a terrible idea for him?"

Bella sniffed her red nose, gently poking Justin's chest. "The newlyweds haven't had many comfortable days with each other yet, and you want to separate them just to make me happy? Justin, you're so heartless… Even if Carrie doesn't say anything about it, do you think Ryan won't be cursing you from under his blankets every day?"

Caught off guard, Justin froze momentarily, then pressed his lips gently against her supple lips.

After an exchange of tender kisses, he smiled wryly. "I didn't consider all that.

Seeing how Carrie also didn't want you to leave, I thought I was helping you girls."

"You're the one who told me not to disturb the couple."

The kiss left Bella's breath ragged. Her eyes glistened with tears, and a fluttering sensation filled her chest. "So try not to create any more chaos."

Justin stared deeply into her eyes, which captivated his heart. Her lips curled into a subtle, playful smile. "Bella, are you asking me to stop stirring things up, or do you want our reclaimed private world to stay undisturbed? Hmm?"

Blushing, Bella's face warmed up as she shyly bit her lip. "I didn't mean that."

Just as Justin's eyes sparkled with warmth and adoration, ready to engage in another tender kiss, a phone rang.

It was Bella's phone.

"Uh… Let me take this call."

With some effort, Bella pulled herself out of Justin's warm embrace. She got anxious when she saw that the call was from her sister, Amelia.

Her sister usually avoided bothering her unless it was absolutely necessary.

Something serious must have happened!

"What's going on, Amelia?" Bella quickly answered the phone.

"Bella… Please help Steve!"

Upon hearing her sister's voice, Amelia broke down, her tears streaming, "The police detained him!"

A sudden chill went through Bella, "What happened that Steve got detained?!"

Justin's eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on her sweaty hand.

Amelia replied, "It's been a few days now..

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1342-Days of worry had pushed Amelia to the brink of a breakdown, her voice breaking as she sobbed uncontrollably. "Mom and I have tried everything… The Lovetts have looked for help too, but we haven't been able to free Steve…"

"What?! Why are you only telling me this now?!" Overwhelmed by anger, Bella's voice grew raspy.

"Bella, don't get worked up. Don't scare your sister." Justin gently squeezed her hand, his voice calming as he soothed her fluctuating emotions. "Ask your sister to slow down and explain everything." Bella sighed with guilt. "I'm sorry, Amelia… I was too harsh just now. Don't cry. Just tell me everything. I want to know which bastard dares to mess with Steve! I'll make sure they regret it."

Despite the serious nature of the conversation, Justin could not help but suppress a laugh at her fiery words.

"It was the Iversons…" Amelia sniffed intermittently. "I think… The Iversons were upset because Charles got beaten for bullying me, so they targeted Steve… He got arrested for assault, and not only that… That jerk Charles had a medical evaluation done, attributing all his injuries, both major and minor, to Steve…

Now the police are charging him for inflicting grievous bodily harm…"

This list of injuries included Charles' impotence as well.

With the Iversons' resources, tampering with a medical report or even fabricating one was no challenge at all.

"That damned bastard deserves to die, and it would still not be enough! The fact that I haven't killed him is already merciful. Yet, the Iversons dare to turn this around on us?!" Bella was uncontrollably furious, her eyes red with rage as she seethed with a desire for vengeance.

Amelia responded, "The Iversons aren't going to settle this privately…"

"Pfft, settle it privately? That's impossible. They'd rather see Steve dead!"

Bella rubbed her throbbing temples, feeling a sharp pain in her chest from anger. "The ones capable of such actions must be James and possibly Hunter."

"Hunter? But Hunter is Steve's older brother. Why would he?!" Amelia was shocked, finding it hard to believe.

"It's very likely."

Justin gently patted the distressed woman's back, his eyes cold and deep like a dark pool. "Hunter is considered a top lawyer in Savrow,x yet he has done nothing after his brother got into trouble for so long. Don't you find that strange?

Given what you've shared about the strained relationship between Hunter and Steve, he's using the incident with Charles to sabotage his brother. You know what his motives likely are."

"But Steve is his brother… How can he do this to him?!" Amelia exclaimed in outrage.

"Hunter is only after fame and wealth. He lacks any real sense of familial love or humanity!"

Bella punched the car window suddenly, shocking both lan, who was driving, and Justin. They immediately worried about her hand. "I was one who sorted out was the Charles. Yet, these cowards went after Steve. Aren't they just picking on the vulnerable?" Content belongs to FindNovel.net "Bella, you have me, too." Justin quickly took her swollen fist into his hands, slowly rubbing it.

"Besides, knowing Steve, he wouldn't want to burden me. He'd likely take it all on himself."

Bella was overwhelmed with remorse, her voice breaking. "I've been so reckless, focusing only on revenge and reveling in it. I forgot that my actions could endanger those around me at any time. How could I be so careless?!"

Previously, she had always been strategic, thinking many steps ahead in everything she did.

But since falling in love, she has been basking in the bliss of romance, surrounded by happiness, unaware of potential dangers lurking around her.

"Bella, don't be so hard on yourself… What happened to Steve wasn't because of you." Amelia quickly reassured her.

Justin took Bella's trembling hand and brought the phone to his ear. "Don't worry, Amelia. Leave this matter to me. By tomorrow, I'll send Steve back to you, completely unharmed."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1343-Bella's eyes widened as she stared intently at her man's stern and striking profile.

The other end of the phone fell silent, broken only by faint sobs.

"What's going on? One of you gave me the look, and the other went silent."

Justin smiled gently, lightly squeezing Bella's cheek. "Aren't either of you sisters going to trust me?" "N-No, it's not that…"

Amelia was the first to respond softly, her voice filled with gratitude. "Justin, thank you for helping Steve… Really, thank you."

"We're family. There's no need to thank me for this."

After comforting Amelia, Justin ended the call. Then he immediately ordered lan, "Turn around. Let's go to the police station."

lan quickly complied, making a sharp turn.

"Justin, what are you planning to do?" Bella looked at Justin worriedly, observing his calm demeanor.

"No matter what, we need to get Steven out first."

Justin sighed, interlocking his fingers with hers and tightening the grip. "Amelia and Steven have already faced many challenges in their relationship. I don't want them to endure any more difficulties or get hurt in any way."

Bella's breath caught slightly. "Y-You… Understand how that feels?"

He shook his head with relief, pulling her into an embrace. "I used to, but not anymore. Because right now, I have my greatest source of happiness in the world in my arms."

Steven spent two weeks in a filthy detention center. With the Iversons refusing to settle the case privately, he might get detained longer.

Despite this, he would never betray Bella and Justin.

Even if struggling led to a prison sentence, Steven was ready to endure everything and reveal nothing.

At this moment, Steven was standing against a wall, arms crossed, conserving his energy with closed eyes.

Across from him, a few men huddled in the corner, watching him cautiously and whispering among themselves.

"You guys are disturbing me." Without opening his eyes, Steven coolly said, "If you don't want to get beaten up, shut up."

The detained men immediately covered their mouths, trembling, and went silent as mice.

Steven sighed, his expression clouded with sorrow.

Since his first night in the detention center, he has not had a moment of peace.

The Iversons had sent these thugs to "take care" of him, but they underestimated Steven's Taekwondo skills. He handled each of the thugs with ease.

He shook his head, disappointed by the Iversons' low regard for him by sending unskilled fighters as if he were an easy target.

Steven thought of it like a test. If he were to end up in prison, he probably would not find it too difficult to manage.

However, Steven did not know that Bella and Justin were already on their way to the police station.

Knowing Ralph was also a police officer, the Iversons cunningly placed Steven in the Western Savrow precinct, where Superintendent Donald had deep ties with the Iversons. Upon learning that Bella and Justin were visiting, Superintendent Donald felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and immediately contacted James.

"M-Mr. Iverson, Justin Salvador and Bella Thompson are here in the station's reception room. W-What should we do with them?"

"Just do what you need to do." Seething with anger, James retorted. "The Iversons are your backup. Are you actually afraid of them? Superintendent Donald, your chance for a promotion depends on this. No matter the pressure, you must hold your ground and not let them get Steven out of there! Make sure Steven can't get away with assaulting my brother and causing my brother's disability." "Alright… I'll do my best!"

Superintendent Donald wiped his sweat off his forehead. "But Mr. Iverson, I'm confused. Steven is nothing but a secretary to Bella. Why go after him? Going against the Thompsons doesn't seem to do you any good."

"Don't worry about that. Just do as I say!"

James ended the call, his gaze turning sinister. "It won't do me any good? That's impossible. I never engage in losing deals!"

He had already secretly bribed the witnesses whose statements the police had.

These women all "confirmed" that their relationships with Charles were consensual and voluntary.

Moreover, if it was also proven that Bella's "dog" disabled and rendered Charles impotent, Charles would appear as a victim. This would likely drag Bella into negative publicity and bring about accusations of personal vengeance.

The internet was hostile, with internet trolls that harbored jealousy and disdain for the wealthy. They did not care about the truth and believed everything they saw online.

James opened a bottle of champagne, pouring himself a drink with a crazed laugh. "Bella, you think you're capable of challenging me? While you were a kid playing in the mud in Hatchbay, I was already working in the business world!"

Meanwhile, inside the police station, Superintendent Donald faced the formidable duo of Justin and Bella sitting across from him. He wore a forced smile, but cold sweat soaked his clothes inside and out. Even with the backing of the Iversons, the overwhelming presence of Justin and Bella, whom he regarded as the dynamic duo for their sharpness, was simply too much for him to handle. "What brought the two of you here?" Superintendent Donald forced a smile.

"Well, the Iversons made us come here." Bella retorted with a cold and stunning smile, her words as sharp as a dagger aimed directly at him.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1344-chapter will update soon

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1345-When Superintendent Donald saw that his savior had arrived, he felt as if his burdens were lifted. He was on the verge of tears.

Following behind James was none other than Hunter.

After ending the call, James could not help but feel uneasy, so he decided to check things out himself. He immediately contacted Hunter, explained the situation, and sought his help to deal with the trouble caused by Charles.

Due to James' previous harsh remarks about him, Hunter was still seething with anger and initially did not want to get involved.

However, upon hearing that Bella and Justin had stepped in to mediate, he could not miss the chance to see them falter, so he hurried over excitedly.

Bella clenched her teeth tightly, fury blazing in her eyes.

This despicable, shameless bastard reminded her instantly of Judge Claude Frollo from "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame".

"Mr. Iverson, I'm surprised you brought him as your attorney."

With a casual sneer, Justin asked, "Surely you're not ignorant of the relationship between Hunter and Steven Lovett?"

"I'm well aware of it. But why does it matter?"

With a mischievous smirk, James' eyes flashed with deceit. "Well, Hunter Lovett is a well-known top lawyer. What's wrong with hiring the best attorney to defend my brother?"

"Hunter is Steven Lovett's brother. Instead of helping his sibling, he betrays his family to side with the enemy, seeking to imprison his younger brother. What do you call a person like that? Is he recognizing the enemy or whoever provides him with the most advantage for him as his family? Justin's eyes were cold and mocking, yet strikingly handsome.

Hunter glared bitterly at Justin, his face adopting a mocking servility. "Oh, Mr.

Salvador, it's truly flattering for a mere attorney like me to be the target of your personal attacks. I only represent those who offer the right conditions. Is it really necessary for you to get so worked up and morally judge me? You're making my job as an attorney very difficult. Now, according to your logic, shouldn't my colleagues who defend murderers get executed, too?"

Then, with a feigned look of astonishment, he blinked and added, "Mr. Salvador, you seem so worried. Is it because you haven't found a competent attorney for Steven? What a predicament this has become. If I had known, I would've declined Mr. Iverson's offer!"

Bella was so angry that her veins were pulsing on her forehead.

If they were not in the police station, she would have already knocked Hunter's teeth out and left him in need of hospitalization, just like Charles.

"I don't need to find an attorney for Steven. Why would an innocent man need one?"

Hunter had hoped his provocations would anger Justin. However, Justin responded with a calm smile, remaining composed. "And even if I were looking for one, it wouldn't be you. Even wild animals protect their young. But you lack even basic morals-worse than an animal. You'd suit better with Mr. Iverson. After all, like attracts like."

"Pfft… Well said!" Bella clapped loudly for her man, laughing with her shoulders shaking.

On the other hand, Superintendent Donald could not find it in himself to laugh.

He was shivering in the corner like a quail.

The room was so tense that a single spark could blow the roof off.

"Justin! Stop spewing nonsense already!"

James was furious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Let me be clear. The Iversons will never settle with you guys for putting Charles through so much suffering.

Aren't you planning to absolve Steven, shoulder the blame yourself, and then use your status as a tycoon to diminish the seriousness of the matter? Well, not on my watch!"

Hunter gently patted his shoulder, giving him a look that urged him to remain calm and avoid saying unnecessary things that may reveal loopholes.

He then moved a step closer to Superintendent Donald and remarked with a casual smile, "Superintendent Donald, it seems the efficiency of your police officers is somewhat lacking. We've been talking to Mr. Salvador and Ms.

Thompson for a while now. Why haven't they completed such simple procedures yet?"

Superintendent Donald was confused. "Huh?"

James, too, was puzzled by the situation.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

A police officer entered, handing a document to Superintendent Donald.

What he said next caused Justin and Bella's expressions to shift dramatically.

"Sir, this is Steven Lovett's confession and plea agreement. He has signed and left his fingerprint on it."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1346-"Steve?! How on earth did that happen?!" Bella was in shock. If Justin hadn't been there to catch her in time, she would have lost her balance and fallen.

"Seriously?! Steven pleaded guilty to everything?!" Superintendent Donald's eyes widened as he quickly flipped through the confession letter to confirm.

"Yes, sir. It's all written here in black and white. Steven admitted to assaulting Mr. Charles and causing him injuries. He admitted to the charges and is willing to accept any punishment." This unexpected change of events came as a really nice surprise for the Iverson family.

There had been multiple groups of people questioning Steven and putting pressure on him around the clock for several days. Most people would have

given in by now, but Steven was incredibly resilient. He'd rather stay locked up in the dark cell than admit to something he did not do.

Why did he admit it all of a sudden? What happened to make him change his mind?

"Bella, are you okay?" Justin noticed the color drain from Bella's face in a split second. He put his arm around her stiff waist, feeling really worried.

"Steve didn't do it. Why did he plead guilty?!" Her eyes were red with emotion as she shook her head in disbelief and sorrow. "Is he out of his mind? Can anyone just confess like that?! Is he so eager to go to jail?!"

"Yeah, how can anyone simply plead guilty?" Hunter narrowed his eyes and teased. "Steven, as a top student at Savrow University, understands this the best. Ms. Thompson, why are you interested in getting into this? What's your interest in all this fuss?"

Bella felt like her heart was stabbed, sending shockwaves of pain through her.

In that moment, a flash of realization shot through her mind, and everything became clear.

One hour ago, Superintendent Donald arranged for Hunter to secretly visit Steven in advance. The two brothers sat across from each other in the interrogation room, with tension between them. There was no sign of a family bond, only tension and hostility.

Hunter sighed and said, "Steven, just take a good look at yourself. Look at what you've done to yourself." Hunter looked at him and shook his head. "If Mom and Dad knew that you might end up spending three to five years in prison all for the sake of the daughter of Wyatt's lowly mistress, they would probably faint from crying, wouldn't they? How unfilial of you."

Steven retorted, "Didn't your master put a leash on you? I didn't expect a dog like you to come running before me."

Steven simply closed his eyes, not even wanting to look at him.

Hunter smirked, but he did not get mad. "We're brothers. Why bother creating all this drama?"

Steven scoffed, "Don't mention the word 'brother' to me. I feel disgusted."

Hunter chuckled. "Haha… Let's discuss something that isn't disgusting and something you might be interested in."

He reached for his phone and showed Steven a video clip. "Have a look at this.

What do you notice?"

Steven furrowed his brows and looked up at the screen. Suddenly, he stood up in shock and slammed the table. "Hunter! What are you trying to do?!"

The video showed Bella and Justin barging into the banquet. There was no need to explain what happened next.

It then transitioned to the scene of Asher beating Charles. At that moment, Charles had already been beaten up badly and was being dragged away like a sack of tranet Asher The camera caught everything clearly. However, there was not even a shadow of Steven throughout the entire footage.

by He was clearly there at the time, but for some reason he did not appear in the video.

"Ms. Thompson and Mr. Salvador were indeed Cautious in their actions. After beating up Mr.

Charles, they got rid of all the hotel security footage involving them. However, they overlooked one thing. If the video was deleted less than week ago, it can still be recovered using some tech tricks." Content belongs to FindNovel.net a Hunter's face twisted into a devious grin. "Ah, for the sake of restoring the video, I even flew to Meridan to find top hackers to restore the video. It cost me a fortune, but luckily, it turned out well in the end." "Hunter… You're committing perjury! Aren't you afraid of having your lawyer's license revoked or being investigated by the Ministry of Justice?!" Steven's expression turned tense and pale. A faint blue vein pulsed on his forehead from a mix of shock and anger.

"Perjury? When did I commit perjury?" Hunter shrugged, flashing a sinister smile. "You were there, little brother. You know better than anyone who was truly behind Charles's beating."

"In the video, it was obvious that Bella and Justin were the ones who beat Charles. After that, Asher, the oldest son of the Thompson family, took care of everything. Did you even lay your hands on anyone? I can't see anything."

Steven felt like his heart had been stabbed, and he shouted furiously, "If you have the guts, come at me! Don't you dare scheme against Ms. Bella!"

"Oh, there's something else I want to tell you," Hunter said as he laced his fingers together and leaned forward. His cold gaze grew intense. "Ms. Bella is on her way to rescue you. If I'm not mistaken, she's so notr determined that she might turn herself in and take all the blame herself just to get you out."

"Ms. Bella… No…" Steven shook his head repeatedly, feeling the excruciating pain spreading through his body.

"Anyway, either you or someone from the Thompson family will have to take responsibility. After all, videos can't be faked, and the injuries on Charles' body aren't fake. Steven, you were close to Ms. Bella. You wouldn't want her to get dragged into this because of you, right?"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1347-To avoid getting Bella in trouble, Steven didn't hesitate to confess to the police and sign a confession letter after Hunter approached him.

Hunter dealt with it discreetly, without even informing James about it. It was truly a swift and decisive move, catching Bella and Justin completely off guard. Justin embraced the trembling young woman firmly, glaring at Hunter's smug face.

"Hunter, what despicable method did you use to make Steven confess?!"

"Despicable? Me? Mr. Salvador, you're personally attacking me here. I can't take such slander. You owe me compensation for psychological damages."

Hunter rubbed his chest, the smug look on his face betraying his facade. "It's the police's job to interrogate the suspects. I'm just a humble lawyer. I don't have that kind of authority. Steven made those statements, and those fingerprints belong to him. I didn't force him to do anything. It was all voluntary."

"Hunter, even if evil triumphs over good, eventually the consequences of your own actions will come back to haunt you. Don't think you've truly won until the very last moment."

Bella's beautiful eyes turned red. She gripped Justin's hand tightly, as if holding on to it was the only way she could maintain her crumbling sanity. "As long as I am alive, you will never win."

"Then I'll just have to wait and see how you plan to win, Ms. Thompson. Don't make me wait too long." Hunter spoke with a sly smile. He was the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing. No matter their tactics and plans, there was always a flaw.

The flaw was that Hunter was actually Steven's brother. They had grown up together. Despite their very different personalities, one thing was clear: Hunter, being the older brother, really knew his younger sibling inside out.

When Hunter went to negotiate with Steven, Bella and Justin had not even made it to the police station yet. But despite this, Hunter still managed to trick Steven by exploiting his vulnerabilities and making use of his weak spots.

Steven had two major weak spots: Bella and Amelia! Hunter wouldn't think twice about using them to hurt Steven. He could make Steven suffer without hesitation.

James' expression turned serious. It seemed that Hunter had made a move without him, and it was clearly effective. Even though Steven had e confessed, he did not feel any appreciation for this selfish and cruel guy.

Justin was right. Hunter was a heartless beast, willing to betray bis own brother for personal interest. So Hunter would do the same in the future for profit.

James had to stay alert around Hunter. Content belongs to FindNovel.net S "Superintendent Donald, since the suspect has pleaded guilty, we can formally prosecute Mr. Steven Lovett and proceed with the sentencing."

Hunter was eager to close the case, making sure Steven had no chance of turning the tables. He wanted Bella to regret it.

Superintendent Donald certainly had this in mind as well. Otherwise, why would he make an effort to try to please the Iverson family?

He immediately said, "Now that we have concrete evidence, let's proceed according to the law."

"Wait!"

A clear and resonant voice, like timely rain, broke the heavy tension in the room.

Everyone was startled. Right after that, two sets of steady footsteps calmly entered the office.

Upon seeing the visitor, Bella exclaimed excitedly, "Ash!"

"Bella, why didn't you tell me you were coming to a place like this et Asher frowned angrily. "Now that you have a man, you don't need your big brother anymore, do you?"

"Yeah, both of you are so stubborn with your ways that it made us worried."

Arnold's tone was serious, but he cheekily winked at Bella while he stood behind his beloved man.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1348-Bella was speechless. Even in a moment like this, Arnold still had the mood to wink at her.

All of a sudden, it hit her. Why was Justin so silent? Did he know that Asher would show up? Bella gazed at Justin, her beautiful eyes slightly widening.

"Justin, did you ask Ash to…?"

Justin's deep gaze flickered, and he leaned in towards her, whispering, "I'm really sorry, Bella. I didn't intend to hide this from you. I simply told lan to inform Asher before we arrived here. I didn't expect him to come along. It just shows that he's worried about Steven, but even more worried about you. But… What's the deal with Dr. Larson accompanying him? Do they have some kind of connection? Why are they always showing up together?"

Bella looked puzzled, pursing her lips and raising her fingers. Amidst Justin's confusion, Bella admitted, "I called Dr. Larson here."

Justin couldn't believe it. It seemed that she had also been hiding it from him.

Together, they had come up with a hundred plans. Luckily, they were both aiming for the same goal.

"Just because of a secretary, is it really necessary for the Thompson family to make such a big deal?" James mocked Asher with contempt. "But it doesn't matter now. Steven has already admitted to everything. Didn't Chairman Thompson mention in an interview before that when you make a mistake, you must own it, and when things go south, stand tall? Well, those words are coming back to haunt you!"

As the heads of the four main families, James and Asher always found themselves at odds in the business world.

Without fail, James ended up on the losing end whenever KS Group set its sights on a project. Despite his preparations, he could not compete with Asher.

It was frustrating that their family connection held him back before, forcing James to feign harmony with Asher. Now that the pretense was gone, James could finally vent his anger.

But Asher stayed calm, his deep าวน์ eyes cold and resolute. "Steven is not an ordinary secretary. Didn't anyone tell you? My father has already acknowledged Steven as his godson. As a member of the Lovett family, Steven is worth millions of times more than the bastard beside you, James."

Hunter's face reddened with fury, then drained of color. 'Wyatt actually acknowledged that brat as his godson?! What a suck-up!' Hunter's emotions stirred up a mix of rage and envy, causing his expression to twist in an unrecognizable manner.

"Superintendent Donald, don't the police need evidence in order to take action? If said I'd destroy the Earth tomorrow, would you arrest me right now and sentence me?" Arnold stepped forward, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Superintendent Donald quickly replied, "Of course not, sir. We always handle cases based on evidence. Please don't make baseless accusations."

"Then open your eyes wide and take a good look at this." Arnold slammed the document he was holding onto the coffee table.

Superintendent Donald grabbed it, his expression filled with surprise. He opened the folder to look at the documents inside. Instantly, his eyes widened.

"Wait… Is this…?!"

"This is Charles Iverson's old medical report. It took a lot of effort for me to get this. I even pulled some strings just to get it out of the hospital's archives," Arnold said.

Upon hearing this, both James's and Hunter's faces turned pale. Justin gazed at the woman intensely, his eyes full of admiration.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1349-In an instant, Justin understood Bella's intention for calling Arnold. This move had been planned long ago.

"This is impossible… How is this possible?!" James snatched the medical report from Superintendent Donald, reading it over and over again. His eyes almost popped out of his head. Hunter's face went pale and tense as his heart raced.

"Mr. Iverson," Arnold said as he glared at James with disgust. "It's fine if you're ungrateful. But trying to blame Charles's old injuries on Bella's secretary and then tampering with the injury assessment to hide the truth is just a low move."

James and Hunter had talked before about blaming Steven for Charles' injury to qualify for a serious injury charge, possibly getting a less severe punishment.

That was why James sent someone to hide the real medical report and instigated Superintendent Donald, which resulted in the current situation.

But they never anticipated that their carefully planned scheme would be effortlessly exposed by the cunning foxes before them!

Bella gave Arnold a thankful look, and he responded with a glance that said, "No need to thank me."

The Iversons thought they could control everything in Savrow, but they didn't account for one thing. When it came to hospitals, the Larson family had the upper hand!

"Charles has lost his ability to have children. Bella should bear full responsibility!" James exclaimed in frustration, blurting out, "If it weren't for her performing that damn surgery on Charles… How could Charles end up like this?!"

The office went quiet all of a sudden.

Hunter's heart sank. It was too late to stop him.

James had a guilty conscience. If some pressure was put on him, he wouldn't be able to hold himself back. Did this imply that Charles et impotence wasn't caused by Steven but father an old injury the past?

FindNovel.net UMS What a fool! How on earth did this person even become the president of the company?!

"Sigh, Mr. Iverson, are you blind or illiterate?" Arnold crossed his arms and looked annoyed. "Isn't it clearly written right there? Charles's impotence was caused by the excessive use of anesthetics and hormonal drugs before and after the surgery. What does that have to do with Bella?"

dafine Asher stared at him intently, a slight smile playing on his lips and a hint of warmth shining in his eyes.

"Who the heck are you?! You have no right to speak!" James glared at Arnold with his fiery eyes, his fists clenched tightly as he moved aggressively towards Arnold. Arnold's eyes flashed with a chill.

However, at this moment, Asher instinctively positioned his tall body in front of Arnold, serving as a human shield.

Before James could react, Asher had already shoved him back.

"Oh my! Mr. Iverson, be careful!"

James took several steps back in embarrassment. Without Superintendent Donald and Hunter's quick support, he would have ended up falling awkwardly on the floor.

"Mr. Thompson! This is a police station. Do you really want to start a fight here?!" Hunter asked with gritted teeth.

"Of course I have no intention of doing that." Asher tightened his strong fist, the sudden movement making his knuckles crack, and his gaze at James flickered with a menacing intensity. "But if he dares to raise his voice at Dr. Larson, I I can't promise that he won't end up with a broken nose.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1350-Though James pretended to look unfazed, his legs were already shaking and numb beneath his pants.

Hunter also kept his mouth shut, feeling intimidated by the intense stare.

Bella and Justin were left completely shocked, needing a moment to collect themselves.

'Wow, Asher's protective instinct is truly intense!' Bella knew Asher's personality better than anyone. He might seem selfish and uninterested, even cold and distant, but in human terms, he just lacked a bit of warmth. Apart from his own family, there was also Steven, who had been by Asher's side for a long time.

Asher typically would not show much concern for anyone else. But at this particular moment, he displayed an unusual level of care for Arnold that was truly surprising.

It was then that Bella happened to catch Arnold looking at her older brother with such warmth and tenderness that it almost seemed weird.

Bella was confused. 'Why is the vibe so weird? Why do they seem a little bit at odds with each other?' Before Bella could fully grasp it, Hunter expressed his frustration and said, "But there were still some minor injuries. According to our country's laws, even if the injury is found to be minor, it can lead to a prison sentence of up to three years.

Steven won't get away with imprisonment!"

Hunter felt an intense desire to shred Steven's name to pieces. It was hard to believe that he was actually Steven's older brother, someone with close family connections. His excessive enjoyment of pleasures and his insatiable appetite for destroying others turned him into a ruthless monster without any sense of guilt.

Asher was not too concerned about Hunter. After all, he was just a minion for the Iverson family. Naturally, Asher wanted to speak with his boss. "Steven didn't lay a finger on Charles from start to finish, even though he really wanted to. I'm the one who beat Charles, as proven by the video."

As he talked, his gaze shifted to Arnold, and his tone softened. "Arnold, can you play the video for me?"

Arnold hesitated, bit his lip, took out his phone, and showed a video to everyone. Charles' screams echoed through the entire silent office. The scene clearly captured Asher relentlessly beating Charles' until the latter was bleeding all over.

"Will this work? It's concrete evidence," Asher said with a sly grin, his smile as chilling as the darkness of a strikingly handsome demon.

Superintendent Donald and Hunter felt numb as they stared with darkened eyes. The plan to frame Steven was completely shattered by this video.

"Ash, how could you…?" Bella gasped and leaned into Justin's embrace.

His strong arms held her trembling shoulder as he looked at Asher with a storm of emotions in his heart.

Justin knew what Asher was up to.

Right from the start, Asher had expected that there would be issues down the line, so he had made early arrangements to deal with any unexpected situations.

"Superintendent Donald, can you release Steven now?" Asher asked with a slight grin.

Superintendent Donald didn't know what to say and nervously looked at James.

"Um… This…” "You've arrested the wrong guy. I gave Director Carter a heads-up before coming here. When he found out, he was livid. It looks like this is where your career ends," Asher said, his tone firm. Superintendent Donald looked pale. He panicked as he hurried out of the door to personally release Steven.

Asher said, "James, I know you're ready to strike like a hawk. Let's not waste time with words. lan!” "Yes, Mr. Thompson!" lan said as he hurriedly entered and stood by Asher's side.

Bella was taken aback for a second. How could her brother be bossing around Justin's secretary? But, to be fair, lan was quite versatile. If someone didn't know, they would think he was the secretary to the CEO of the KS Group.

Asher signaled lan, and he quickly passed the file to James.

James furrowed his brow as he opened and examined the contents, his pupils contracting abruptly.

"In this file, you'll find a transfer agreement for the Terranova Resort net project, along with a settlement agreement." Asher's voice was as cold as ice, carrying a noticeable weight. "If you're willing to resolve this matter privately, then consider this Terranova project as. compensation from our family to your brother."

WI He continued, "But if you don't want to settle this privately, that's fine too. I've been playing the role of CEO long enough. It's time for me to take a step back and work on myself. Plus, it's a chance for my younger sister to officially take over my role, killing two birds with one stone. But I guess with your current situation, you wouldn't have any reason to refuse, right?"

The conditions set by Asher were indeed tempting, and James' limited affection for his family just keep him from giving in. So, he quickly signed the agreement, grabbed the contract, and walked out of the office without looking back.

FindNovel.net It was almost like all those deep resentments had vanished into thin air. Was this guy some sort of shape-shifter?

Hunter was furious. His eyes were bloodshot. He never thought that all his hard work would be for nothing. He couldn't convict Steven, nor had he caused any loss to the Thompson family. Instead, he had become a laughingstock.

"Hunter, I was right, wasn't I?" Bella gazed at him with intense determination in her eyes. "Justice will always prevail over evil. You will never defeat us."

"Damn it! You're just lucky!" Hunter grumbled under his breath before walking away.

"Hunter Lovett." Arnold suddenly called out to him with a smile.

Hunter stopped in his tracks, clenching his jaw. "Is there something else you want to say?"

"Isn't that golden grub that night delicious?"
