Ch. 1361..1370

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1361-We are no strangers to Ms. Thompson's commendable character. If my brother was such a scumbag, do you think Ms. Thompson would operate on him?

Wouldn't that make her a silent accomplice?" James' carefully worded statement caused tensions to rise.

The Iverson brothers were cut from the same cloth. Charles was beyond redemption right from the start, and the whole world was aware that he was not a good man. Instead of apologizing for his brother's bac behavior, James tried to help Charles get away with it. It did not matter how the world saw James.

However, Bella was a different story.

By making the surgery public in a delicate moment, James was hinting that Bella was on the Iversons' side.

James planted doubt in the public's minds. Though Bella had her moments, she stood by the Iversons when it counted.

"The incident with my brother has taken up a lot of public resources. I'd like to apologize to everybody on behalf of him and the Iverson group."

James hunched over. "With the public and all sectors as our witnesses, we will be strict on ourselves to lead by example."

The news came to an abrupt end.

Bella scowled hard.

"Damn it! James is the son of a bitch! He's so desperate to name the young madam as a complicit." The overwhelming emotions made lan's voice tremble and his eyes turn red-rimmed.

Sure, Bella was not happy. However, she was a lot calmer than before.

Her man was not having it, though.

Justin's grip on her hand was icy to the touch. Bella could even feel his gradually tightening hold and veins creeping on the back of his hand.

They were the same type of people.

It was no big deal when it came to matters involving themselves.

However, they could not stand.net troubles came in the way of the people they cared for. S if Bella looked up at Justin's grimace. His heaving chest would brush against her back when he took breaths.

His prolonged silence was a telltale sign of his growing anger.

"Don't be mad, Justin. It's not worth it."

Bella gave his hand a squeeze and consoled him softly, "He's just a bastard. He can do his worst, but he's all bark and no bite.

"I don't care about him at all, so don't let him get to you."

"How can I not? I'm not heartless!"

Justin hyperventilated, his fist in her soft grasp shaking. "I will make him pay.

James will suffer a worse fate than Charles."

"I think he deserves a good ass-whooping too, but we can't lose our composure over his taunting."

Bella placed her hands on his throbbing head with worry, giving him a gentle massage. "You know how bad your migraines can get. Being too emotional won't do you any good. Even if you don't care, you ought to think about me too."

Even so, Justin could not keep a cool head when it came to Bella.

His logic was out the door in the face of love.

"Young Madam, the public opinion doesn't look favorable to you. I'm guessing James has hired internet trolls. Han scrolled through the mean comments, his fingers nearly puncturing the mobile screen.

"Get the PR team on it," Justin commanded.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1362-"Come on, Justin. They can say whatever they want. James is underestimating me to think that he can hurt me with words and kill my spirit."

Lifting her chin, Bella said with a faint smile, "We don't have to do anything."

"Bella." Justin heaved while clutching her hand worriedly.

"This is what fame will do to you. I can't be famous without the help of trolls."

Bella waved her arm. "The most foolish thing to do is to justify ourselves. We can't prove everybody wrong just because they say so. Just ignore James.

Karma will catch up to him."

Bella turned solemn. "I'm more concerned about the girls. For them to change their story, the Iverson Group might be threatening them. Those girls are from ordinary families. They can't fight against the Iverson Group."

With downcast eyes, Justin uttered sullenly, "Two of them are minors. It's one thing to be threatened, but if this thing blows out of proportion, the kids will be thrown into the middle of a media and public shitstorm.

"Even though they are the victims, they will become the talk of the town and the butt of jokes. Some ill-intentioned people might even label these girls troubled and say that they have themselves to blame for being put in such situations."

"Blame the victims?" It felt like a rug was pulled from under Bella.

Justin's conscious and harsh truth was a gut punch, and Bella was brought back to the past taunting.

"It takes two to tango."

"There's no smoke without fire."

"It's your fault for wearing a short skirt."

"Why does it happen to you and not others?"

These women were the victims. Yet, they had to face the world's vile comments.

As if they were not hurt enough, they were to be blamed for supposedly inviting rape. S "These girls still have a long way to go. Rather than demand justice, their parents will fear putting the girls in front of the jury. While I don't agree with that, I can understand where they are coming from."

Mor et Color drained from Bella's face as she shivered. Feeling sad, Justin pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on her neck while tightening his grip around her waist.

"You're too kind, Bella."

Justin patted her back. "But I hope you will keep being you."

He would ward off evil and walk through fire for her.

All he ever wanted was for her to be the kind person she was.

Bella got a grip on herself. "Can you arrange a meeting for me with the girls, Justin?"

"Are you going to persuade them to testify?" Justin raised a brow.

"They changed their minds, not because they didn't want justice. They are afraid of the Iversons and what they will do to them."

Bella curled her lips. "I want to tell them that I will shield them from any harm."

After leaving the detention center, Charles was brought back to the Iverson family's residence.

During the car ride, he drank red wine and scrolled through the mean comments about Bella online before guffawing hard

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1364-Charles stared down Christopher's innocent-looking face as rage overtook him.

Just when he was about to blow up, James gave him a chilling look that woke Charles to his senses.

James expressed during the car ride that Bella possibly was not the one who was out to get him.

His mind wandered back to their conversation. "If Bella wanted to ruin you, she would've done it when you got a little too close with her sister. Why wait until now?

"Besides, only I and one other person know all the details about your little thing."

"Who is it? Who is ruining me? I want to make him pay!"

"Astrid."

"That's right! That bitch! She must have ratted me out to reduce her own sentence. I will make sure she stays behind bars."

"Even if she knew about your business and ratted you out, she couldn't possibly do much behind bars. The police couldn't have collected all the evidence. It's clear someone was helping her to exact her revenge from the outside."

"Who? Who could it be?" Charles was overwhelmed with anger.

"I can't think of anyone but Christopher. Besides, I checked Astrid's visitation records, and he visited her recently. But Dad is in favor of Christopher right now, so it won't do us any good to confront him directly. We need to get in Dad's good books again before we can get rid of him."

"This is great! Thank God my three sons are with me now."

Lance held Charles and Christopher, tearing up at the reunion. "We can be a happy family, dedicated to building the Iverson Group. Let's not get ourselves in any more trouble. You worked hard, James, but Chris was instrumental in stabilizing the company stock and getting the project in Sentania right on track. I think—"

"Dad, I have some good news to share." James cut him off haughtily.

Christopher made a face silently.

"Oh? More good news? What is it?" Overjoyed, Lance could turn a blind eye to James' rude behavior.

"Bring it in."

A secretary on standby outside the room entered with a document in hand at James' command. The secretary handed the papers to Lance with respect.

Lance took the document in confusion and flipped through it with a frown. Soon, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! This is great, James. When did you close the deal on this? This is a great surprise."

The smile on Christopher's face froze, and his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves.

"I have been preparing the project for a long time, but I didn't want to tell you before I closed it. I didn't want to get your hopes up."

James smiled honestly. "I wanted to let you know as soon as the contracts were signed. You know me. I have my own way of doing things. I don't speak my mind like Chris." "That's true. Chris was a wild child before. After 15 years apart, he has now become my most sensible child."

Charles taunted in contempt, "Well, he could've done it sooner. Now, it just seems like he has a hidden agenda.

Haha! I'm joking. I don't think before I speak. Please don't take it personally."

Christopher narrowed his eyes dangerously and replied with a smile, "You've been held in the detention r for quite a whilet You must have taken a bit of drugs there too, so your thought process doesn't align with your speech.

"1 Charles gritted his teeth, tempted to tear Christopher apart with his bare hands.

"You can never stop arguing. We should get along as a family. Can't you be like Wyatt's kids and give me a moment of peace?" Elated over the release of his son and the signing of a deat, Lance did not pay attention to their conversation.

"You're now the managing director of the Iverson Group, Chris. Do your best for the company. You can come to us for any issues. We can always talk things out for the sake of the family."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1365-With a friendly smile, James patted Christopher's shoulder and said pensively, "Dad is not getting any younger. He's been troubled by worries lately. It's time that he takes a break. You can come straight to us for any issues revolving around work. Don't add to Dad's troubles."

"Yeah, Chris. James is the president. You can learn a lot from him," Lance echoed the same sentiment. He regained trust and respect for his eldest son.

Christopher looked James dead in the eyes, but a gentle smile soon spread across his lips. "You have a keen eye for business. I have a lot to learn from you. Here's to a positive outcome to your signed deal."

Christopher left the study with a grimace and strode along the corridor.

"Why are you leaving in a hurry, Chris? Dad wants us to have dinner together."

James stopped him and approached with confidence.

"Do you actually want to be at the same table as me?" Christopher turned around and looked askance at him.

"I do. Why wouldn't I?"

James laughed, smug at the idea that he pulled one on Christopher. "I love it when I crush you, and there's nothing you can do about it. I love it best when the person you try to harm is sitting unscathed right in front of you. The disappointed look on your face is priceless."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I never waste my emotions on trash." Christopher curled his lips and pushed his glasses up.

"Tsk." Having earned the favor of his father, James did not mind letting Christopher have the last word.

"Mr. Iverson!" Taylor rushed over and shut his mouth when he saw James there.

"So, your people address you formally?"

James smiled sarcastically. "It's a shame that there can only be one Mr. Iverson in the company, and that's me. But I am a generous man. I won't deny you a chance to live in your dreams."

He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his hands nonchalantly from patting Christopher's shoulder. You can be the Mr. Iverson to your loser subordinates in your Lalaland."

James threw the handkerchief near Christopher's feet and took off.

Christopher never let James' words get to him before.

However, his last remark touched his nerves. Christopher stared James down through his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Fuck! Who does he think he is? Does he think the Iverson Group belongs to him?" Feeling for his boss, Taylor clicked his tongue. Chapter 1365 2 "Yes, sir."

Taylor pursed his lips, pulled out a steel sterilization box, and handed it over with both hands. "This is from him. It arrived today."

Christopher took the box and clutched it tight in his grasp.

"He said that the drug is powerful. Please think it through before using it."

"Got it." Christopher's voice was raspy from urgency.

"After James' statement about Ms. Thompson, the public isn't too kind to her online, Mr. Iverson. Do you need me to remove all the negative comments about her?" Taylor asked with respect.

With bloodshot eyes, Christopher gripped the steel box out of shape.

It took a while before he took a long breath. "No."

Taylor was shocked. "A-Are you really not going to do anything about it?"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1366-"Bella is an unreachable goddess to me. Despite my best efforts, I can't get to her level. You will never understand the torment of the unattainable distance."

Christopher closed his eyes, his heart breaking. He felt trapped, and there was no way out.

"Before, I just wanted her to be safe. Now, I want to taint her and bring her down to my level."

Christopher was a vile scorpion who would kill anyone in his path.

However, he would never kill her.

He would love her with all his heart, in his own twisted way.

Soon, Justin found the addresses of the two minors.

The next afternoon, lan drove Bella and Justin to meet with the girls in hopes they would testify in court.

Not to put any stress on the girls' families, they chose to ride in a regular, discreet sedan.

Justin and Bella dressed themselves up in simple suits. Justin, with his build and grace, could pull off any outfit.

Bella, on the other hand, looked like a trustworthy government servant, especially without makeup.

Even though her outfit did not stand out, Bella had the beauty and confidence to attract anyone.

That was her charm.

"Hey, don't look at me like that."

In the car, Bella got goosebumps from Justin staring long and hard at her. She scooted to the side. "You look like a perv."

Unable to hold himself back, Justin held her waist and pulled her into his arms.

"You're such a flirt, Bella."

"I-I have done nothing of that sort." Mesmerized, Bella planted her hands on his chest.

"Your outfit is a nice tease."

"Uh-huh. You were so indifferent before. Now? You're horny." Bella pouted.

Justin smiled. "Do you want me to be the person I was?"

"Can you?"

"I can't."
