The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1391-"Honey! How did you get in here? When did you…"

Justin's mind was still foggy, and his hands, accustomed to caressing her, could not help but gently stroke up and down her sides.

Bella held her chest, pouting. "Phew… You scared me to death. Did you know your gaze just now was terrifying? You looked like you were about to eat me up!"

"I'm sorry, Bella. It's an old reflex I got from my military days. It's an untreatable stress response."

As she listened, deep compassion welled up in Bella's eyes as she softly caressed his cheek.

Overcome with guilt, Justin took her hand and kissed her palm, feeling nervous.

"Why did you come in here secretly? What if someone saw you?"

"Secretly? This is my house. I don't need to sneak around. I walked in here openly."

Bella squinted playfully, tapping his nose. "Hmm? Why do I sense that you're feeling a little flustered, Mr. Salvador?"

"This is my first time really coming to your home, Bella. I want to make a good impression on your family." Justin admitted, his voice muffled.

"Pfft, so that's what this is about."

Bella chuckled. Her naughty fingers playfully unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt. "Our family is known for being the toughest crowd to stir up, serve, and please in the world. Otherwise, that snake Christopher would've wormed his way into our inner circle long ago, right?"

"Bella…" The man chuckled wryly.

"They're gradually coming to accept you, so don't worry. Just be yourself."

As Bella spoke gently, Justin realized she had already undone his shirt buttons.

"You've been staying up late working again. If you keep sitting and sleeping like this until morning, you'll end up with a herniated disc. Take these off and change into your pajamas. Then get into bed properly."

"Alright, fine."

Justin agreed obediently, but as he changed into his pajamas, he stretched his back and felt both soreness and pain.

He thought, 'Maybe it really is because of my age…' "Bella, you should head back to your room…"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Bella, quick and nimble like a playful little rabbit, had already jumped into his bed.

"I want to sleep with you."

"Bella, please. Just wait until we return to Savrow…"

Her soft moan sent shivers through his body, stirring his soul, "Wereh't we always at my place, too?"

Bella kissed his Adam's apple and wrapped her leg around his waist.

"Anywhere With you is home."

"No, I want it now!" Bella insisted, gripping the hem of his shirt tightly.

The next moment, he groaned deeply, pressing her beneath him, hischands swiftly slidingloff her thin and delicate nightgown.

Justin looked intently at her as she bit her lip appearing stubborn yet seductive.

Desire surged within him, his lower abdomen tightening as he fought the urge to pin her down and ravish her on the bed.

In the end, he compromised and slowly lay down beside her.

Bella rolled into his embrace, and he skillfully wrapped his arms around her, offering his arm for her to use as a pillow.

At that moment, the couple felt completely satisfied, quietly sighing in a shared, unspoken understanding.

"You should stop degrading yourself in front of Wyatt."

Bella could not bear to see Justin's self-esteem wounded, especially since the Justin she loved had always been an unrivaled luminary shining bright for the past thirteen years Even though he has four wives, he's not a king, and this isn't an old feudal society. You shouldn't have to lower yourself in front of him. Always remember that you're Bella Thompson's man."

"I was just too overwhelmed at that moment. I didn't think it through."

Justin chuckled huskily, "You don't know close I was to saying .net you, Wyatt' instead of saying you, Chairman Thompson"."

Bella's heart fluttered, and then she blushed and pecked him on the lips.

"Muah!"

In the quiet of the night, that kiss was incredibly sweet.

Justin's smile deepened affectionately.

Bella's eyes, brimming with desire, sparkled enchantingly in the romantic night.

Her hand smoothly slid toward his silk pajamas.

"Bella… We're at your house." Justin gasped, holding her hand.

The man's eyes reddened with restraint, and his voice was hoarse. "That's not the same…"

"To me, it's all the same."

Suddenly, the last remaining string of Justin's restraint snapped.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1392-Despite the Iversons' effort to suppress it, the livestream scandal kept Charles' reputation plummeting as if in a contest of blame, with many eager to step on him, relishing the spectacle surrounding the Iversons.

The drama escalated when an obscure heiress from the Thompson family accused him of attempted rape, keeping the public interest alive.

As the scandal's intensity refused to wane, Charles remained indefinitely in the crosshairs of the police.

Lance even humbled himself to seek leniency from the police chief.

Unfortunately, the top tycoon, Wyatt, suddenly returned to the headlines after a long absence.

On the office television, a news segment suddenly cut in.

It showed a reporter interviewing Wyatt after a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new project.

The reporter began, "Mr. Thompson, regarding the livestream incident a few days ago, the young woman who claims to be your daughter…"

"Claims?"

Wyatt's expression instantly darkened, and he countered sharply, "Which media outlet are you from that you have such a delayed grasp of information? You dare call yourself a reporter?"

His formidable presence left everyone around too intimidated to breathe.

Holding the microphone, the reporter trembled as Wyatt sternly corrected him.

"She's my biological daughter, the youngest princess of the Thompson family.

Her mother is my third wife, Celeste."

Wyatt's expression was particularly stern, but when he mentioned his daughter, a rare warmth appeared in his sharp, eagle-like eyes. "To me, Bella and Amelia are the apples of my eye. I've kept Amelia out of the public eye because she's young and still in school. Besides, both Amelia and Celeste prefer to keep a low profile. I didn't want to disrupt her education and life. That's why I rarely bring her to public events. Above all, my actions have always been to protect my youngest daughter. However, my efforts to protect her allowed Charles, that lust-driven monster, to harm my daughter!"

The audience gasped in shock.

Damn, Chairman Thompson's remarks were incredibly harsh!

Despite Wyatt's known close relationship with Lance, he clearly was not holding back for the sake of his daughter, showing no mercy to the Iversons.

"My daughter has endured unbearable humiliation. I will not allow the Iversons to attempt to settle this matter privately. I will see this through to the end!"

Wyatt's eyes turned fiery red as he struggled to contain his fury, barely keeping his composure as he clenched his teeth. "Lance Iverson, if you have any shred of decency left, make your son face the law and apologize to my daughter!

Otherwise, the Iversons will become the number one public enemy of the KS Group!"

Lance was livid, breathing heavily as he fumbled to turn off the television.

He knew Wyatt was a determined, formidable, and influential man who always followed through on his words.

This was not just a threat. It was an outright declaration of war!

"Ahem… Chairman Iverson, as you've seen, your son's issue has now seriously escalated and even involves Chairman Thompson's daughter, making this extremely difficult."

The police chief shook his head. "If it l.net weren't for that livestream, I could've intervened. However, now the entire country is watching, and the higher-ups are aware of this incident. If I were to help you now… Not to mention offending Chairman Thompson, I might even lose my job if the higher-ups find out about this. Perhaps you should have a proper talk with Chairman Thompson?"

"Talk, talk, talk… What exactly is there really to talk about?!"

If the television had not belonged to someone else, Lance would have smashed it already.

Meanwhile, at Yara Park, while the news featuring Wyatt was airing, the young couple had just woken up late and finished their morning bath after having spent the night indulging in each other's company. Wrapped only in a bath towel that barely covered her, Bella sat obediently on a bathroom chair while Justin dried her hair.

Her hair was thick and silky. As usual, Justin took his time with the hairdryer, carefully combing and applying hair oil to it. Despite the effort involved, Justin had never shown his impatience. Instead, he found joy in the task, cherishing every moment. Caring for Bella and treating her well was an addiction embedded deep within his bones, one he could never shake off.

"Mmm… You're so good at this. It feels amazing…"

Bella's eyes narrowed with contentment. "I'm about to fall asleep again."

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, then?" Justin suggested, leaning in to kiss her cherry-red earlobe.

"No. With Amelia's issue still hanging and Wyatt causing more drama, how could I possibly sleep?"

Bella was scrolling through Twitter

comments, her lips curling into a small smile. "Luckily, Wyatt's recent spectacle has managed taswing public opinion in Amelia's favor Now, more people are supporting her and the Thompsons, pressing the Iversons for answers

"Amelia is such a likable girl. Naturally, her popularity is on the rise. Besides, with Chairman Thompson making their et father-daughter relationship public, it shoul@silence those with ill intentions. Things seem to be looking up." Justin commented, expertly managing her hair like a seasoned stylist.

"Still, we shouldn't celebrate too soon. Yesterday, my brother told me he could only detain Charles fora while, Without more evidence, that monster will get released soon."

Bella's voice was tinged with resentment as she bit her lip.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1393-Justin paused as he combed through Bella's hair, looking toward the phone screen.

"Bella, do you recognize the number?"

"No."

"Should we answer it then?" Justin asked, brows furrowing.

Typically, Bella never answered calls from unknown numbers, and it was rare for her to receive them.

However, her heart throbbed with a sense of anticipation this time. She felt like ignoring this call might mean missing out on something crucial. "Hello," Bella

answered, her voice gentle.

"H-Hello."

On the other end of the phone, a timid, soft, and gentle voice of a young woman emerged, sounding slightly similar to that of her younger sister. Bella and Justin exchanged glances. Then, she quickly put the phone on speaker and began recording. "May I ask who is calling?"

"Is this Ms. Bella Thompson?" The girl asked softly.

"Yes, this is Bella Thompson speaking."

"I… I'm Rachel Mead."

The couple tensed up, especially Bella, whose heart pounded like a drum, her fingertips trembling and her palms sweating.

Justin gazed intently at her, holding his breath. Then he took her delicate hand and placed it over his chest, reassuring her. "Rachel, you finally called."

Bella's voice was warm and friendly, deliberately avoiding formal titles to create a closer connection. "I've been waiting for your call every day, and finally, you've reached out." Justin's eyes narrowed in disbelief, staring at Bella's barely concealed excitement.

She said she had been waiting for Rachel's call, which implied she must have had the opportunity to meet and speak with Rachel before this. Otherwise, why would she say such a thing?" But when had they connected? How had he not noticed at all?

"You've been waiting for my call every day?"

Rachel paused, her voice soft and frail, "Ms. Thompson, if I never reached out to you…"

"Then I'd still be willing to wait. The choice to contact me is yours, but the decision to wait is mine," Bella responded with a determined gaze, each word saturated with resolve. There followed a long silence on the other end of the line.

However, Bella extended considerable patience to the caller. She remained silent, patiently waiting.

Justin often admired how Bella et ine could maintain such composure. She was always willing to humble herself and endure hardships to achieve her goals. She never let her privileged background make her feel superior or entitled to the things she had.

Such patience was something Justin reserved only for Bella. With others, he lacked the same persistent patience she exhibited.

"Ms. Thompson, I called to tell you that… I'm ready to testify as a witness and identify Charles Iverson as a rapist." Rachel's voice choked up, her words trembling as if forced through gritted teeth, each filled with profound sorrow and anger.

Justin's eyelashes fluttered intensely, his heart raced, and his jaw clenched.

His impoverished childhood and the fragmented nature of his family had made it diffjoult for him to open up fully or empathize with anyone other than those he loved.

At that moment, a wave of overwhelming emotions surged through Betta. Her lips trembled as she fought hard to control the urge to cry, seftly saying, "Alright, as long as you're willing to do so. The president of the Salvador ou Corporation and I will support you all the way."

Yet, at this moment, the intense trembling of his heart, accompanied by a mixturg of sotrow and bitterness ghaWing at his chest, was surely a form of deep empathy, right?

FindNovel.net Justin's heart seemed to endure a forceful impact, contracting violently and throbbing intensely.

"I'm currently under strict supervision by my mother. Even when I go out, she feels the need to accompany me, leaving he with almost no personal space. However, I can try to sneak out to see you guys after she falls asleep at night."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1394-"Rachel, Mr. Salvador and I will pick you up downstairs at your place. Don't worry, we'll ensure no one notices." Bella reassured Rachel while her heart thumped excitedly.

"It's not about being seen or not. That's just the only time I can get out of my house," Rachel responded, sighing with frustration.

"We're coming to pick you up to ensure your safety."

Justin's voice was deep, and his expression was serious. "It's very likely that the Iversons are monitoring all of your actions now. If they notice you leaving rashly, it could be dangerous." Rachel was startled. "M-Ms. Thompson, who is this?"

"Don't be afraid, Rachel. It's Mr. Salvador. He's here with me." Bella reassured her, lifting her beautiful face slightly with a graceful hand.

Justin then leaned forward, positioning his handsome face close to hers with the elegance of a butler serving a queen, their noses nearly touching.

Bella blinked her sparkling eyes, momentarily caught off guard.

Then, he kissed her small, lovely lips.

His tongue teasingly lingered, sending her into a whirl of emotions. However, he pulled away just as she became utterly swept up in the sensation. Mmm… What a jerk, getting even naughtier by the day!

"M-Mr. Salvador?! Is it really Mr. Salvador?!"

Rachel's mood suddenly lifted, her previously subdued voice becoming bright with excitement. "Mr. Salvador! I admire you a lot! You're my idol!"

Justin frowned slightly. After a long pause, he managed to express himself with a stoic expression, "Well, thank you."

"I think you're extremely handsome, even more so than those celebrities. I really like you!"

"I already have a loved one, Ms. Thompson," Justin replied coolly, drawing Bella close by the shoulder.

"No, no! Don't get me wrong!"

Rachel hurried to clarify, "I admire your talents and looks. I didn't mean anything else with that comment! And… Actually, I really ship you and Ms. Thompson! I think you two are incredibly well-matched!" "Tsk. After all the criticism Mr.

Salvador has gotten online, his good looks remain undeniable. And surprisingly, he even has fans. It seems that in today's society, appearance really is everything." Bella playfully teased Justin, although a gleeful smile shone through her eyes that she could not hide.

"No, that's not it. Even though Mr. Salvador often faces criticism online, I believe that you and Ms. Thompson are genuinely in love."

Rachel expressed herself sincerely. "It's because I admire and trust both of you that I've decided to come forward and do this."

"Rachel, thanks for liking us, and thank you for your courage."

Bella's eyes curled into a warm smile as bright as the spring sun. "Stay safe.

We'll see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Justin eagerly asked, "Bella, what spell did you cast this time? How did you manage to convince that girl to testify? Tell me all about it."

"Hmm… It was really nothing special.

I just obtained her email address and occasionally sent her an email or two, giving her my contact info and letting her know I was eagerly awaiting her response," Bella said casually. Although she was nearly jumping with joy, her tone remained nonchalant.

However, Justin knew that, behind what she made seem effortless, she must have put in a lot of unseen effort.

"Justin, you've gained another bright ally!"

Bella wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, her soft body almost melting into his chest as she clung to him. "You're a psychic! You guessed it right. Things aren't over, and there's always a chance for change!"

Bella's praise visibly uplifted Justin.

His eyes shimmered with joy. "Bella, I'm no psychia. without your strategic planning, how could things have possibly improved this way?"

"Bella, I used to be quite a pessimist.

Bella firmly shook her head. "No. If I say you are, then you are. My Phan's words are Blessed."

Back when I was serving in the army, risking my life every day, I never really thought that I might actually survive and return from the battlefield It's Decauseof you that i've changed.

You've infected me with your spirit, making me someone who is now optimistic. Even during that attack on the southern island, when danger fraught every second, the thought of you gave me strength, and I stilll harbored the hope of surviving."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1395-Justin's heartfelt words brought Bella to tears, and she responded with a loud kiss on his lips.

The man's mood brightened considerably, his large hand effortlessly gripping her astonishingly slender waist as he lifted her and spun her around joyously.

"Ah! Oh no!"

Suddenly, Bella felt a chill as the only piece of fabric covering her, the towel wrapped around her slender waist, unexpectedly came loose and flew off.

This exposed her body, presenting a tantalizing view that quickened the man's pulse.

"I think this is perfect."

With a mischievous grin, Justin swept Bella off her feet and carried her toward the bedroom, planting kisses along her skin.

"W-What are you doing? I just took a bath!" Bella playfully hit his chest as her skin blushed a delicate peach color.

With a husky whisper and a glint of lust in his eyes, Justin responded, "I'll give you another bath later. Just let me recharge a bit first."

Finally, as night fell, Bella and Justin, accompanied only by lan, returned to Rachel's apartment building.

The couple sat in their car while lan stood at the entrance, keenly watching for Rachel's figure.

Before long, a figure in a simple T-shirt and jeans emerged from the dark wooden doorway.

Sitting in the car, Bella and Justin finally felt a sense of relief seeing Rachel appear. They wanted to greet her personally. However, they realized that it would be too conspicuous for three people to stand there. It might even attract unwanted attention.

"Are you… Ms. Mead?"

lan paused momentarily, carefully sizing up the beautiful girl before him.

The young girl was fair and pretty, which explained why Charles had targeted her. It was a pity that a brute had marred such a lovely person.

"That would be Ms. Thompson."

The thought of meeting the couple she adored soon filled Rachel with excitement, her eyes sparkling.

James rolled out of bed naked and quickly picked up his pants from the ground to put them on, panicking as if he had been caught. "The person we sent to keep an eye out said that Justin's secretary, lan, was the one picking up Rachel. It has to be them, no doubt about it!"

The secretary sounded anxious as she continued, "The informant also mentioned that Rachel didn't appear to be taken against her will but left willingly with them. Mr. Iverson, do you think there's any chance of changing her mind?

She seemed determined to testify in court."

"How the hell am I supposed to know that?! Do you think I'm some kind of mind reader?"

"What should we do next? Please give us the instructions, Mr. Iverson!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1400-After everything was arranged, it was already late at night.

For the sake of Rachel's safety, Bella had intended to let her stay in her villa until the issue with Charles was resolved. Not only would this ensure her safety as the witness, but Bella also genuinely liked this girl. Despite her unfortunate background, Rachel was constantly striving for self-improvement.

However, Rachel insisted on going back home because her mother had a weak heart. Besides, if her absence was discovered while she stayed here, it might give her mother a heart attack, even if it was simply going to the bathroom at night.

Fortunately, her mother had not contacted her tonight, so it meant that she was still asleep. It seemed like even the heavens were supporting this brave girl's decision.

lan escorted Rachel to the car, showing the utmost care throughout the journey.

Justin walked out of the door with his arm around Bella's shoulder. His rough and warm fingertips gently wiped away the glistening tears at the corners of her eyes. His large hand rested on the back of her neck as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Bella, it's really late. I saw you yawning secretly several times, and your eyelids are about to close. I'll send Ms. Mead back together with lan. Just wait for me at home.” "Don't you know why I'm yawning so much?" Bella pursed her red lips and muttered. "You're recharged, but you've drained all my energy, like I'm your personal power bank. I need some rest!"

Justin was proud because, even when she was worn out, her body language showed him how satisfied she was.

He spent more time in bed at home than in the kitchen. He had learned everything about pleasing her on his own.

Justin could not help but kiss her seductive lips. His lips were glued to hers, and his tongue pried open her lips as he kissed her passionately.

The kiss made Bella's heart go crazy, as if all her breath had been taken away by him.

Rachel saw the couple kissing through the car window and exclaimed excitedly, startling lan in the passenger seat!

"OMG! Can I take a photo and keep it as a souvenir? I really love seeing them together!"

"Huh…?" lan turned around and stared at her with his mouth hung open. He had already come up with over a hundred excuses in his mind to reject her request.

However, he softened in the end and sighed. "Just don't post it on social media, and it's best not to show it to others."

"No! This is for my own personal view only!"

Rachel looked gratefully at lan with clear and charming eyes. "Mr. Harris, you're so kind! Thank you!"

In the end, it was decided that Justin and lan would accompany Rachel home.

Bella chose not to join them, fearing her low energy might further burden the young girl psychologically.

On the way, although Justin sat in the back seat with the girl, there was enough space between them to accommodate someone lying down.

Justin noticed that the girl's mood seemed to have improved significantly. She was engrossed in her phone, giggling inexplicably, and her mouth constantly curled into a smile.

Also, he noticed that lan kept glancing at the rearview mirror, his gaze drifting toward Rachel's face. Justin suddenly thought, 'Was I unnecessary here?' The black car stopped beneath the old residential building.

Before getting out of the car, Justin lightly cleared his throat and said, "Ms.

Mead, I think you should find an opportunity to have an honest conversation with your mother about this matter as soon as possible."

He continued, "In the future, you will have to testify in court as an important witness. I'm afraid your mother will find it even harder to accept by then."

"President Salvador, thank you for your reminder. Rachel's eyes dimmed slightly, but she forced a smile. "Although convincing my mother will be difficult, I know she's trying to protect me. But since I've come to you and Ms. Thompson, it means I have made up my mind.

Whatever happens, I won't back down. I'd rather die speaking out than live in silence." Content belongs to FindNovel.net Justin looked at her with admiration in his eyes and smirked slightly. "Bella often says the same thing. I'm glad to see the two of you sharing a similar mindset."

They accompanied Rachel to her doorstep. Just as she was about to enter her house, lan couldn't help but step forward. "Um… Ms. Mead."

Rachel turned back, blinking her eyes. "Yes, Mr. Harris?"

"Umm… Where did you buy your bear-rabbit bag? Could you tell me? I want to buy one for my sister," lan asked.

"The bear-rabbit? Haha…" Rachel's smile brightened. "I made it myself. I even designed the pattern by hand. This is the only one."

lan's eyes widened. "That's impressive…"

"If you like it, I can make one for your sister, but it will take some time," Rachel suggested tentatively. She gently asked, "Can you wait?"

"I'm willing to wait as long as it takes." lan responded eagerly. Somehow, his anticipation soared.

Then, they exchanged contacts on Whatsapp. With a polite farewell, Rachel gently closed the door behind her.

Justin scoffed and cast a sidelong glance at lan, his gaze playful "Asl someone who doeshit settle for añything less than luxury for your sister, you are interested in that?"

"Isn't it cute?" tan's eyes twinkled, his right hand clenched into a fist pressed against his lips as he awkwardly cleared his throat twice. "Isn't this kind of cute handmade product better than branded stuff? This is like exclusive customization."

"Young man, I think your intentions lie elsewhere." Justin's deep, starry eyes narrowed slightly.

Having worked closely with lan for many years, Justin understood him as well as he understood his own son.

lan's cheeks flushed, and he nervously scratched his head. "Huh…?"

"Let me just remind you that she is only seventeen. Now is the cruciall time for her to fogus anhe studies."

Justin's expression suddenly turned serious. "Don't lead her astray or cause her harm. She's already been through enough."

"Didn't you hear? She thinks I'm old. If I entertained any impure thoughts, l'd be worse than a monster! fil go against al the principles of humanity!" lan's mind was in chaos, and he shook his head frantically.
