Ch. 141..150
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 135-The Rolls-Royce drove into Yara Park’s antique and majestic gate.
From the moment they entered the compound, the servants happily ran around, spreading the news of their arrival.
“Ms. Bella is back!” As soon as Bella and Asher got out of the car, the butler Finley and several servants lined up on both sides of the entryway and bowed respectfully to greet them.
“Welcome home, Ms. Bella!” “Ms. Bella, may you live a long and healthy life!” Bella touched her forehead and thought, ‘I wish I could be immortal!’ “Bella! You’re finally back! We miss you so much!” Bella looked over and saw Wyatt’s second wife, Mila, and another woman with shoulder-length hair who was wearing a purple satin shirt with a bow silk scarf at the neckline and black wide-leg pants. She was as tall and slim as a supermodel as she ran toward Bella.
That woman was Wyatt’s fourth and youngest wife, Sasha Jenkins.
“Aunt Mila, Aunt Sasha.” Bella smiled brightly and stepped forward to hug them.
Asher smiled when he saw this scene. He had mixed feelings in his heart.
The Thompson family was the wealthiest and most prestigious family in Hatchbay. However, the Thompson family ties and interpersonal relationships were quite complex. Every time Wyatt brought in a new mistress, it turned the family upside down, especially with Sasha, who was only eight years older than Asher.
It was precisely because of this that Bella followed Drew’s example and left home. She joined Doctors Without Borders and wandered around the world for a long time.
Later, the sincerity of Wyatt’s three wives moved Bella and warmed up her cold heart little by little. Asher also told Bella a lot of stories about their three stepmothers. That was how Bella finally got over her grudge and no longer resented them.
Besides, even if Bella wanted to blame someone, she would blame Wyatt.
“Bella, you’ve lost weight…” Sasha was a martial artist. She was straightforward and spoke her mind. She blamed Asher for neglecting Bella. “Asher, if you are too busy to spare time to take care of Bella, just say so and send Bella home. We’ll take care of her! You said you’d feed her like a pig, but she looks more like a greyhound now! This isn’t right. You broke your promise!” Asher did not know if he should laugh or cry. “Alright, it’s my fault. I’m sorry, Aunt Sasha.” “Aunt Sasha, you know that I have a fast metabolism, so I eat a lot but don’t gain weight.” Bella and Sasha were enemies in the past, but they are more like sisters now. “Ash took care of me and even gave me his chief secretary, Steven. You all know how good Steve’s cooking is. He can have a dozen ways to cook a fish. I’m well taken care of, so don’t worry.” “Hmph! I don’t believe it!” Sasha snorted and gently pinched Bella’s thin face. “Can Steve be better at cooking than Celeste? Your Aunt Celeste started preparing the ingredients last night when she heard that you were coming home. She’s been in the kitchen all day today, and she didn’t even bother to drink a sip of water. Wyatt said that the way Celeste is preparing for your arrival is like hosting a banquet for the country’s president. Her standards are probably higher than that!” “I told Aunt Celeste to keep it simple. It’s just a family dinner, so what’s important is the people.” “We both offered to help, but she said she couldn’t trust anyone’s cooking and insisted on doing it herself.” Mila sighed softly and said with a smile, “Celeste may seem gentle, but she can be really stubborn at times.” “I think that Aunt Celeste just can’t trust Aunt Sasha…” Bella burst out laughing. “After all, Aunt Sasha burned the pot four times, set off the fire alarm three times, and blew up the stove twice. That’s why Aunt Celeste no longer dares to let Aunt Sasha appear in the kitchen.” “Hey, stop picking on me! I thought we were friends!” Sasha raised her eyebrows and reached out to tickle Bella.
“Yes, yes, we are!” They were like best friends, teasing each other.
When Bella thought of Wyatt’s third wife, Celeste, she thought of the time she was living with Justin’s family.
During those three years, Bella walked on eggshells, fearing that Justin would hate her if she did something wrong. She did not want the Salvador family to complain about her.
After only three years, Bella felt as if she had become a different person. How did Celeste survive these twenty years?
Bella thought, ‘Women really shouldn’t humble themselves for men. We should be independent, strong, and beautiful. We shouldn’t be confined to a mediocre life in a nice house because that would be such a pity.’ 14 Bella’s stepmothers held Bella’s arm and led her into the villa.
The night was cool and quiet.
Justin’s Maybach was parked outside Yara Park in the dark.
Ian opened the car door for Justin, who stepped out and looked toward the Thompson family’s residence.
“I’ve long heard that Chairman Thompson was fond of classical architecture and had bought dozens of mansions across the country. Now that I’m here, I can see that it’s not a rumor.” Ian looked at the intricate classical buildings in Yara Park and exclaimed, “This place is like a palace. It’s so magnificent that even Tideview Manor can’t compare to this.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 141-The air became still for a moment.
Ian was so anxious when he saw that Justin and Bella were about to get into a fight again. He really wanted to rush forward and tape his boss’s mouth shut.
Bella laughed out loud. Her beautiful eyes teared up and reflected the lights like scattered stars.” Justin, I admit that I have overestimated my capabilities and tried too hard. I pestered you and tried to be nice to you time and time again, thinking that I could make you fall in love with me. But in the end, I got nothing except self-pity. But there is one thing you’re wrong about.
“Even if you forced me to leave you, I have never resented you. I wanted to part ways amicably, but you kept pestering me, shredding the last bit of dignity between us. So I have no choice but to expel you, an intruder disrupting my new life, with any means necessary. Justin, you had no choice but to marry me back then. Now, I have no choice but to do this to you. The only way for us to be happy is to treat each other as strangers from now on.” Justin felt like she had hammered his chest. His heartbeat stalled, as if the pause button had been pressed.
“Mr. Harris, it’s cold at night. Please send Mr. Salvador back.” Bella suppressed the pain that arose from her heart and quickly turned around to leave.
Someone who did not even notice her love and sacrifice was not worth crying over.
Suddenly, Bella felt severe pain in her wrist. She turned around and was shocked to meet Justin’s bloodshot eyes.
“Justin, let go!” She pulled her arm away.
Justin’s thin lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to say something, a cold voice interrupted him.
“Mr. Salvador, you’re a person of status. Don’t you think it’s disrespectful to grab onto my future daughter-in-law in front of my house at this hour?!” When Bella saw Mila and Sasha walking over, she quickly shook off Justin’s hand and stepped back from him.
“Future daughter-in-law?” Justin was stunned for a while. His mind went blank.
“I don’t think I need to explain what it means for Asher to bring Anna back for a family dinner tonight, right? He’s formally introducing Anna to us.” As she spoke, Mila put her arms around Bella’s shoulders and looked at her affectionately. “Anna is beautiful, righteous, and very much in love with Asher. Everyone in our family, including the chairman, is very satisfied with Anna and wants her to join our family as soon as possible. All that’s left is for us to meet her parents and set a wedding date.” Bella was stunned to hear this.
She knew that Mila and Sasha were here to support her, but this was too much drama.
Justin felt as if his heart had been hollowed out and filled with cold wind.
“Mr. Salvador, if I remember correctly, you announced your new marriage through the media not long ago.’ Sasha’s eyes were murderous as she glared at Justin. She curled her lips and said, “Why aren’t you with your fiancée at this time, and why would you come here to bother Anna? We don’t care if you want to throw your reputation down the drain, but don’t drag Anna down with you. She’s part of our family now, so if you don’t check your behavior, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” Bella knew that Sasha was not someone who would rather use words than her fists. At this moment, seeing Sasha stand there and talk to Justin, Bella knew that Mila and Celeste must have warned Sasha not to act rashly.
Ian held his forehead and thought, ‘OMG, Mr. Salvador! Why did you come all the way here? Are you looking for a scolding?” Justin’s hand, which had just touched Bella, slowly clenched into a fist and trembled slightly.
He was trying hard to hold onto her, but it seemed like he could not hang on any longer. He did not know why he was still so hung up over Anna when he was clearly the one to initiate the divorce.
“Aunt Mila, Aunt Sasha, it’s cold at night. You’ll catch a cold from wearing so little. Let’s go home.” Bella said, “Let’s go home”, so naturally, as if she belonged there. This made Justin feel like there was an invisible wall between them that completely isolated him outside.
“Anna, is that true?” Justin’s voice was hoarse and bitter.
Bella took a deep breath and simply played along. “Yes.” “Great… Great…” Justin’s handsome face was pale, and he kept repeating that word. He took out a black velvet jewelry box and handed it to her.
“Consider this my wedding gift to you.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 142-Bella’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, but she did not take it over.
She did not expect Justin to carry around the jewelry box with him.
“Anna feels embarrassed to accept your gift, so we’ll take it on her behalf.” Before Bella could react, Sasha snatched the box from Justin.
Sasha opened it and saw a gleaming purple-jade bracelet inside.
The jade was gorgeous and high-grade.
Bella could see that it was an expensive jade that could not be bought just anywhere in the world. If she had received this gift from Justin before their divorce, she would have jumped in joy.
However, at this moment, all her joy was buried under a thick layer of ice.
Belated love was worthless, just like belated gifts.
“Ha! Although I’m not an appraiser, I can tell that this jade bracelet must be expensive due to its translucency. Thanks, Mr. Salvador.” Suddenly, Sasha raised her hand and threw the jade bracelet. Her gaze was sharp and ruthless.
The purple jade bracelet shattered into pieces between Bella and Justin.
Seeing that his efforts literally shattered in front of him, Justin looked defeated and paled.
Bella was so shocked that she clenched her fists and did not dare to look at Justin.
“Madam Sasha, what do you mean by this?! This is Mr. Salvador’s gift to Ms. Brown. Even if you don’t accept it, you shouldn’t ruin it like this!” Ian took a step forward. His face was red with anger.
“Mr. Salvador, why didn’t you give it to Anna before your divorce? Why are you only showing her kindness after your divorce? Are you unwilling because Anna has a new lover? Are you here to humiliate Anna using this method? Are you deliberately trying to make her life difficult?!” Sasha stepped on the broken jade bracelet with her sharp stilettos and crushed it further. “Anna has accepted this gift. If you have any self-respect, you’ll go back to Savrow as soon as possible. You’re not welcome in Hatchbay!” Every word felt like an arrow piercing Justin’s heart.
Bella’s heart trembled. She avoided his gaze and stepped forward to pull Sasha back.
“Let’s go home.” “Young Madam… You…” Ian was extremely disappointed when he saw that Bella did not intend to stand up for Justin.
Even Ian felt heartbroken, not to mention Justin.
“Alright, let’s go home. Don’t let insignificant people ruin our mood.” Sasha took Bella’s arm fondly and left.
Mila glanced at Justin’s pale face, shook her head, and scoffed. “You brought this upon yourself.” When Bella returned home, she no longer had to pretend to be cold and unfeeling. Her whole body felt hollow.
She thought of the broken bracelet and Justin’s equally broken eyes. Suddenly, her heart felt bitter.
Bella knew that Mila and Sasha were trying to vent their anger, but they went a little overboard.
This made it seem like she was the bad guy.
“Bella!” At this time, Axel ran to Bella, panting heavily. “Drew is fighting with Dad again! Dad even hit him!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 143-In the backyard, Drew was walking quickly in the direction of his Lamborghini with a cold look on his face.
“Drew!” Bella caught up with him, panting. She grabbed his arm and said, “Where are you going?!” “Get as far away as I can from this place. Better yet, it’s best if I don’t come back here for the rest of my life.” Drew turned around and sneered. His face was red and swollen, with a clear palm print on his cheek.
“Drew, you said that you care about me, Asher, and Axel most. Since we’re here, it means that this is your home. How can you not come back?” Bella held Drew’s hand tightly. Her heart was aching.
Drew stared at his sister with his dark eyes, raised his hand, and caressed her soft cheek. “I will always hold you guys dear in my heart, no matter where I am. The world is my home. Bella, I have done what I promised, so you can’t be angry with me anymore, right?” Bella nodded slowly. She suddenly felt like crying.
“If you really want Wyatt to live longer, it’s best if you don’t ask me to see him again. I have to get back to my official duties, so I’ll get going. I’ll come to see you next time.” “Drew!” Mila walked over in a hurry with a bag in her hand.
Drew was stunned for a moment. He greeted her softly, “Aunt Mila.” Mila’s eyes were slightly red as she mustered up the courage to hand over the bag to him.
“Here, Drew… These are some medicines newly developed by my family. Some are for external use, but some can be consumed. It may come in handy for you. Celeste also packed a few snacks for you. She’s afraid that you have to travel far and you’ll get hungry, so this is for the road.” After saying that, Mila smiled sheepishly. “These aren’t expensive items. I hope you don’t despise them.” Drew’s long eyelashes trembled. His tone was unprecedentedly gentle as he said, “Thank you, but I already have everything I need. Don’t worry. Farewell.” After he spoke, he hugged Bella and turned to leave.
The Lamborghini sped away in the gloomy night.
Bella and Mila stood frozen in the backyard and sighed in unison.
“Let him be, Aunt Mila.” Bella patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Drew has made great progress. After all, he used to be a savage. Haha… Just give him more time to adapt to methods of human communication.” “I know. He’s actually pitying me.” Mila’s beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of grief. “Bella, Drew doesn’t have to be so considerate of my feelings. I’ve already come out of it, so I’ll be okay.” Bella was at a loss for words.
Two years ago, a plane crash became the Thompson family’s nightmare.
Mila’s eldest son, Hugh Thompson, who was also Bella’s fifth brother, was the chief captain for Savbay Airlines. To save the lives of 150 passengers on flight SVB676, calmly made the final judgment to land on the sea when the plane had a major malfunction.
As a result, Hugh was buried in the deep sea. The day he passed away happened to be his 27th birthday.
Everyone had different opinions on this, but it was undeniable that Mila gave birth to an outstanding and respectable son.
Justin’s Maybach returned to Savrow.
Ian drove the car fearfully, all the while spying on Justin’s expression through the rearview mirror.
Justin’s face was stern and as cold as ice. His thin lips were white, as if all the blood in his body had been drained.
“Mr. Salvador, are you okay? You don’t look well…” “Just drive.” Justin’s eyes were red as he took a deep breath.
He came to Hatchbay on a whim, thinking that he was so righteous and that he could make Anna bow to him.
As a result, what awaited him was cruel humiliation.
What shattered earlier was not merely the jade bracelet, but also the dignity that Justin had carefully maintained for more than 20 years.
“Mr. Salvador, with all due respect…” Ian was indignant and could not help but mutter, “If you want the young madam to return to you, you can tell the Thompson family that your divorce hasn’t been finalized and that she’s still your legal wife. I really can’t stand how arrogant those two mistresses are. Who the hell do they think they are? They’re not Asher’s biological mother, so what right do they have to act like that in front of you?” “Do you only think that the only way I can force Anna to come back to me is by playing dirty tricks?” Justin asked in a cold voice.
“No… Mr. Salvador, that’s not what I meant!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 144-Ian wiped his sweat apprehensively. “I just think that since you can’t let go of the young madam, why don’t you just tell her how you feel?” “Tell her how I feel? Hah…” Justin sneered and gritted his teeth. “I’ve made up my mind. I will never remarry Anna!” “Then why did you go there tonight?” “Just drive!” Justin roared in a hoarse voice, scaring Ian, who dared not talk anymore.
Justin slumped back weakly in the backseat and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm.
Only then did he remember that he had been holding the fragment of the purple jade bracelet in his hand the whole time.
At that moment, the broken jade fragment cut his palm, which started oozing dark red blood.
Justin did not know what was wrong with him. He wanted to take Anna away tonight and separate her from Asher, no matter what. He just wanted them to be separated.
After bidding farewell to Drew, Bella went back to finish her meal with Asher and Axel and comforted her father. Then she came out of the study, exhausted.
She stood in the corridor and pondered for a while before she took out her phone to message Mila, Celeste, and Sasha, respectively.
[Aunt Mila/Aunt Celeste/Aunt Sasha, please come to the pavilion in the back garden. I have something to say.] Fifteen minutes later, the three women arrived at the pavilion on time.
The three women, who usually chatted endlessly when they were together, were quiet in front of Bella at the moment.
“Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?” Bella was sitting in the pavilion with her arms folded across her chest. She had a serious expression, like a principal preparing to reprimand naughty students.
Mila and Celeste remained silent.
Sasha quickly said, “Bella, didn’t you have something to say? Why are you asking us?” Bella held her forehead in resignation and thought, ‘Aunt Sasha is really dull at times.’ “You and Aunt Mila taught Justin a lesson just now. Don’t you have anything to say to me?” “Pft! There’s nothing more to say.
Sasha sat down across from Bella, crossing her legs ungracefully.
“This is because Mila and Celeste stopped me. Otherwise, I would’ve stabbed that son of a bitch a million times and hung him upside down to feed my Bobo.” “Who’s Bobo?” Bella asked.
Mila replied, “Sasha’s pet alligator. Wyatt gave it to her as a birthday gift last year.” Bella was speechless.
Celeste saw that Bella was still mad at them, so she hurriedly walked over and timidly tugged at the corner of Sasha’s shirt. “Sasha, don’t talk so much…” “Everything I say is from the bottom of my heart. We should be honest with family!” Sasha’s eyes were red with anger. “Bella, Justin Salvador is heartless! Even my Bobo is more humane than him! You have devoted yourself wholeheartedly to the Salvador family for the past three years. A pampered princess like you turned into his personal nanny and miserable wife. But in the end, he still forced you to get a divorce for his own selfish desires. Then he turned around and married someone else! He’s worse than an animal! Even if he didn’t love you, he shouldn’t hurt you like this! Why can’t he just get struck by lightning and die?!” “He made it clear to me at the beginning that he didn’t love me. It’s a destined outcome that he’s getting married to the love of his life. I know I failed, but I can just walk away as if nothing happened. Why do you want to keep getting me involved with him over this matter? It’ll just be more troublesome.” Bella rubbed her sore temples. Her eyes were desolate as she said, “The pain will only be more vivid if I continue this entanglement. It’s torture for me, so I would rather let it be and let this pain slowly fade with time.” “Let it be?!” Sasha roared angrily. She stood up and grabbed Bella’s shoulders. “How should we just let it be?! How can you ask me to let him go?! You’ve conceived a child for him once, but that bastard is heartless!” The blood on Bella’s face instantly drained. Sasha’s words were like blunt knives cutting open her stomach. The pain spread to her limbs and drilled into her bones.
“Sasha, are you crazy?! We agreed not to mention this!” Mila broke into a cold sweat and rushed over to pull Sasha back.
“Sasha, stop talking about this, okay? Stop mentioning Bella’s sad memories…” Celeste hurriedly persuaded her.
“He doesn’t know about it.” Bella slowly looked up and held back her tears. “I never told Justin that I was pregnant with his child.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 145-his was the most painful experience that Bella had suppressed deep down in her heart.
After losing her unborn child two years ago, Bella dared not pass by any maternal or children store. She also did not want to hear anyone talking about children. Even when she saw pictures of babies on TV, she would hold her head in pain and cry alone.
Bella would always remember that snowy Christmas Eve two years ago. She drove with Nigel to the beach to see the snow. Unexpectedly, they got into a car accident on the way there. She wanted to save Nigel, so she ignored her own pain, carried him on her back, and got into a taxi to rush to the hospital. That bought Nigel some time for rescue.
At that time, the Salvador family went to Inalia for vacation, while Justin went to Meridan to spend Christmas with Rosalind.
Bella endured severe pain in her abdomen and struggled to hold on until Nigel’s secretary, Matt Upton, arrived. In the end, she could not hold on any longer and collapsed.
-“Young Madam! You’re bleeding!” In a daze, Bella saw the blood continuously flowing out of her lower body. The warm and sticky blood became an indelible shadow in her memory.
It was at that moment that Bella found out she was two months pregnant.
However, before she could experience the joy of being a mother, she had already lost this child forever.
It was her child with Justin.
-“Young Madam! I’ll contact Young Master Justin immediately!” Matt trembled in panic and quickly took out his phone, but Bella grabbed his hand.
–“Don’t… Please…” Bella was heartbroken and scared. She cried and begged Matt. “Justin doesn’t know about this… He’ll be sad and angry if he finds out… Please keep this a secret for me, okay?” Bella closed her eyes, covered her belly, and sobbed with overwhelming grief.
Seeing Bella being dragged back into the abyss of pain, Sasha panicked and hugged her tightly. Celeste and Mila were also heartbroken. The four women hugged each other as if their lives depended on it.
“It’s all my fault! I’m sorry, Bella… I won’t mention this again… Please don’t be sad…” Sasha was sharp-tongued when she was scolding people, but she was not good at comforting people.
“Actually, I should be glad…” Bella showed a pale and wry smile as she returned to her senses. “Instead of letting that child witness their parents’ torn relationship and losing their father’s love from an early age, it’s better this way. At least they don’t have to come to this world and suffer.” Bella stayed up all night.
When she closed her eyes, she saw the traumatizing blood and deformed embryo. She huddled up in the quilt in pain, but she still felt like she was enveloped in the biting cold.
During the days when she lost her baby, Bella cried for days on end.
On the battlefield, Bella did not even blink when bullets were raining down on her. But she was in so much pain when she lost her baby that it felt like her whole soul was falling apart.
Bella thought, ‘Baby… Mommy is so sorry. Mommy lost you forever, and I don’t know if I will have the chance to welcome you again in this life.’ In the early morning, Bella, who had not slept all night, got out of bed and walked downstairs. She looked like a regal and radiant young lady again.
“Bella, I prepared your favorite breakfast. Why don’t you eat first before leaving?” Celeste, who was wearing an apron, came up to her. After careful inspection, Celeste could still see Bella’s bloodshot eyes, which saddened her.
“Aunt Celeste, please pack it up for me. I’ll eat it on the road.” Bella smiled to cover up her sadness, looking stunning. “I have a scheduled meeting in the hotel this morning, so I have to be there on time.” “Okay. I’ll wrap it up for you. I’ll give you an extra portion for Steve too.” Celeste smiled gently, like a loving mother.
“Thank you, Madam Celeste.” Steven heard this as soon as he walked in and bowed in thanks.
Bella walked out of the villa, accompanied by Steven. Wyatt was still asleep, and Bella did not want to wake him, so she planned to return to Savrow without saying goodbye.
“Bella, you’re running such a big hotel on your own in Savrow, so you must tell us if you run into trouble. If the Salvador family tries to bully you, don’t put up with it. You must tell us.” Mila thought of the last time Bella was bombarded by Shannon and the other bitches at the charity auction. She gritted her teeth with resentment. “Next time, I’ll prick them with a poison that causes mouth sores! That way, they won’t be able to slander you again.” “Mila, you should just make them paralyzed! That way, those Salvadors won’t be able to jump around and create trouble.” Sasha popped her knuckles. “How dare they bully our Bella?! They must be impatient to die!” Bella did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Mila was from the Larson family, a well-known medical mogul. The Larson family owned several major hospitals in Savrow and Hatchbay. Mila was also proficient in pharmaceutical and medical skills. So, it would be easy for her to poison someone.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 146-“Ahem… By the way, I actually have something I’d like your help with.” Mila and Sasha said, “Tell us!” “Actually…” Bella coughed slightly. “I want the antique rosewood chair that Wyatt sent Aunt Mila to take at the charity auction.” Mila and Sasha’s eyes widened. “Wow, that’s a bold ask!” Wyatt was generous. He would give them a house, money, or a luxury car without batting an eye.
But if they asked him for antique items, calligraphy, or paintings, he would be reluctant to give even a small Victorian signet ring, let alone an antique rosewood chair worth $100 million!
“Wyatt will only give it to me willingly if he’s not of sound mind. What do you want it for? I’ll try to find a reason to convince him.” Mila said, feeling troubled.
“Well, if I tell you the reason, it’ll be even more impossible for him to give it to me.” “Don’t worry, Bella. I’ll take care of it!” Sasha confidently patted her chest. “If Wyatt doesn’t give it to us, I’ll just steal it for you!” Bella burst into laughter.
Indeed, family “thieves” were the hardest to guard against.
After Justin returned to Savrow, he had a rough night’s sleep at home. He went to the office looking exhausted.
During this time, Rosalind called him twice. Although he answered the phone, he was absent-minded.
Rosalind was talking about some wedding planning details, like her custom-made wedding dress, limited-edition jewelry, and a whimsical fairytale wedding venue. After Nigel’s 80th birthday next weekend, their wedding could be brought forward.
“Justin, do you think those are good ideas? I asked the wedding planners to think about these for more than a month before I finalized some details.” Rosalind wanted to fish for compliments as she tried her best to show how capable she was.
“Yeah, whatever you like.” Justin responded nonchalantly and looked down at the broken purple jade bracelet in the jewelry box in front of him. All he could think of was Anna standing with the Thompson family and their utter rejection and indifference toward him.
Snap-!
Justin let out an irritated breath and slammed the box close.
“Justin, I have chosen your wedding suit too. Can you take some time off to meet with the designer today? I can do the other things myself, but you must be there for the tailoring…” Rosalind continued aggrievedly, “The internationally renowned designer is here in Savrow. If we miss this chance, we’ll have to wait for a long time.” Justin was stunned. He said with a hint of guilt in his tone, “Sorry for being negligent. I’ve been too busy recently to get involved with the wedding plans.” The woman smiled sweetly. “It doesn’t matter. I’m willing to do this for you.” “I’ll pick you up this afternoon.” “Okay. I’ll wait for you, Justin.” As soon as Justin ended the call, Ian hurriedly came over with a document and placed it in front of him.
“Alright.” Justin flipped through it with a solemn expression.
Due to the damaging news about Bethany, the reputation of Salvador Hotel also suffered. On the contrary, KS World Hotel’s popularity skyrocketed. They became an internet-famous hotel overnight and were on the trending topics.
Although Justin said he would not help Bethany restore her image, as the president of Salvador Corporation, he could not ignore the impact it had on the business.
“I need to take a closer look at the proposal and have a meeting with the hotel’s senior management. After all, winning this project is very important to us.” Justin closed the file with a stern look on his face.
“Ahem… Mr. Salvador, I have something to report so that you can be mentally prepared.” Ian’s eyes flickered.
“Don’t hesitate. Just say what you have to say.” When Justin heard this name, his handsome face turned glum, and his brows twitched.
Why was it that bad-tempered woman again?
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 147-“Is that true?” Justin asked with a stern face.
The more lan spoke, the softer his voice became. That was because Justin’s face kept getting darker.
“What else did she say?” Justin slammed the table. Blood surged up to his head.
He was already annoyed with Anna lately. Now, Bella appeared out of nowhere to compete with him for this project. These two women were his curse.
There was an undercurrent in the man’s eyes as he said, “If this project falls into Bella Thompson’s hands, everyone who handles this project will get dismissed!” Ian was speechless. He nodded hurriedly, like a chicken pecking at food.
It looked like Justin was going to take revenge on Bella for making him climb up ten floors to her office that day.
In the afternoon, Justin’s Maybach stopped at the gates of a six-story European-style mansion in the North District of Savrow.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to see the designer?” Justin looked at the vintage door decorated with roses, looking confused.
“The designer is inside. This house is the studio of the internationally renowned designer, Roza Walker.” Rosalind’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Although many department stores around the world have off -the-rack items of her brand, Rozabela, they’re not good enough for our wedding. We need the luxury bespoke dress and suit designed by Roza Walker.” Rosalind had permed her hair and dyed her black hair into a toffee blonde color. She also wore a sexy and lavish red backless dress. Her lips were tainted a bright red.
Seeing her gleaming red lips, Justin instinctively thought of Anna’s face.
It was as if Anna had patented bright red lips. Red lips on other women just looked so incongruous, as if they were a poor imitation.
“No matter how high-end it is, it’s just a piece of clothing.” Justin’s eyes were dull, lacking interest. “I don’t need her to design my suit. You can ask her to do your dress.” “No! I want a matching outfit with you. From now on, you can only wear the clothes I pick for You can’t accept gifts from other women!” Rosalind leaned on Justin’s shoulder and acted coquettishly.
Justin’s eyes darkened, and his heart suddenly tightened.
you.
He thought of the suit that Anna had made for him. He tried his best to repair it and preserve it even though it was already ruined, but how did Anna treat his gift?
She allowed others to throw his gift like garbage and watched with cold eyes as they ruined his gift and good intentions.
Justin pursed his thin lips in frustration and said in a hoarse voice, “Alright. I won’t.” The two of them got out of the car and were stopped by security as soon as they walked to the gate “Sorry, Ms. Walker is hosting a private reception today. You can’t enter without an invitation.” “Hmph! Of course, we have it.” Rosalind took out two invitations with roses printed on them, looking arrogant.
“This way, please.” In the hall, the well-dressed guests held wine glasses and chatted happily.
Justin did not expect Rosalind to take him to such an event without prior notice. No wonder she was dressed up so nicely today.
This made Justin extremely uncomfortable. Aside from necessary social engagements, Justin never liked to attend any receptions or dinners in private. Rosalind’s doing so made him feel used.
Sure enough, Justin’s appearance immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.
“Isn’t that Justin Salvador?!” “Yeah! He’s a thousand times more handsome in person than on TV! I guess he’s not as photogenic as I thought he was!” “Who is his female companion? She’s so lucky to be with him!” “Female companion? You haven’t been back for a while, so you’re probably unaware that she’s Rosalind Gold, Mr. Salvador’s fiancée. He divorced his ex-wife just to marry her. Don’t you think she’s capable?” “OMG! Are you kidding me?!” Rosalind felt proud to be the subject of gossip.
She wanted every woman in the world to be jealous of her for having such an excellent fiancé.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 148-Rosalind had begged Shannon for several days to get these two invitations. She felt unwilling to humble herself at first, but at this moment, she felt proud to be here with Justin.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance? You know I don’t like coming to such events.” Justin clenched his jaw, and his face was cold.
“Justin, my social status isn’t high enough to ask Ms. Walker to design my wedding dress. That’s why I asked you to come over. Roza will definitely agree if you ask her…” Seeing his gloomy expression, Rosalind timidly added, “I’m sorry… Did I cause you trouble?” “In the future, you can tell me beforehand, and I will send someone to get it done. We don’t have to come in person.” Justin’s tone was slightly gentler.
“Alright…” At this time, Justin heard a set of familiar footsteps from behind.
Those footsteps were crisp, confident, and steady.
Justin’s body trembled as he turned around.
In the bright afternoon sun, Bella strode into the mansion wearing a slim-fitting capri blue dress and a broad-shouldered suit jacket of the same color. She brought in a waft of rose fragrance as she barged into Justin’s field of vision.
Today, her black hair was tied into a high bun, revealing her long and slender neck. Although she did not wear her usual flaming red lipstick, her boldness and beauty still took people’s breath away.
Some women did not require heavy makeup to shine, nor did they need a crown to show their power.
Rosalind’s face turned green with envy.
Rosalind thought she would be the most eye-catching woman there by wearing red. Unexpectedly, Bella’s blue dress stole her limelight.
In the blink of an eye, Bella walked past him as if he were invisible.
Justin narrowed his eyes. His heart was burning with rage.
“Oh, my! Ms. Brown, it must be difficult for you to get an invitation, right?” Rosalind spoke with a smile.
“Yeah, of course, it’s not easy.” Bella looked at Rosalind with a fake smile. “Every one of the guests here today has a close relationship with Roza or her brand. The guests here are either designers, big names in the fashion industry, or VVIP customers. Ms. Gold, which category do you fall into?” “…” Rosalind’s face turned red, as if she had been slapped, The guests around them glanced disdainfully at Rosalind and Justin.
“You and Mr. Salvador don’t fall into any of those categories, so it’s strange that the two of you can show up here.” Bella smiled beautifully.
“You!” Rosalind was furious and stepped forward. “Everyone here knows who Justin is! Ms. Walker won’t turn away the president of Salvador Corporation if he wants to attend, right?” “Hmm… I guess that makes sense.” Bella nodded.
La “Hmph! Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Which category do you fall under? Are you a VVIP or are you a fashionista?!” “Neither.” “Then what’s the point of you showing up here all dressed up? You’re just a nurse from the countryside who got lucky to climb the social ladder. What right do you have to be here?!” Rosalind could only use Anna’s humble origins to criticize her.
After all, Rosalind was afraid that Anna would suddenly show the crowd her marriage license with Justin again. If that were the case, Rosalind would feel ashamed, as it would confirm her identity as a homewrecker.
“Rose, stop talking!” Justin frowned. His tone was cold.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Bella, who remained calm.
They thought, ‘How is this fashionable lady just a nurse from the countryside? She certainly looks chic! If she’s a nobody, how did she get an invitation to this private event?” “Justin, I was going to be polite to her, but Ms. Brown is obviously hostile to us. Besides, I was just stating the facts.” Rosalind pouted and looked coquettish. She felt smug for winning this round.
“Ms. Walker is here!” Someone shouted, breaking the awkward tension.
A tall and slim woman wearing Rozabela’s early fall rose-colored couture suit appeared on the spiral staircase. She had a hime cut and looked aloof as she slowly walked downstairs.
Her aloof expression suddenly changed the moment she saw Bella.
Roza hurried over to Bella, grinning and saying sweetly, “Master! Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 149-Master?!
Everyone was shocked to hear this. Rosalind was so stunned that her mouth gaped open, and she forgot to maintain her composure.
Rosalind thought, ‘How can it be?! Did I mishear it?! Anna is only 27, years old, right? Roza is 4 years older than me and has been in the fashion industry for 10 years. She has appeared in Paris Fashion Week many times and won international awards! But Anna is a country bumpkin. How could she be Roza’s master?! This is such a joke!’ “Master? You make me sound like some old hag,” Bella crossed her arms and snorted coquettishly. “A woman’s age should stop at 18!” “I only say this because you’re so important to me, and I want to show my respect!” Roza hugged Bella’s waist and said with resentment, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you were coming? I wasn’t even prepared for your arrival!” “I wasn’t going to come today, but an event was suddenly canceled, so I decided to come over and take a look.” “Oh, so I was just a backup event on your calendar? I see now that I have no place in your heart!” “Hah! How dare you pick on your master, you rebellious monkey?!” The two ladies teased each other like best friends, stunning the audience, Justin felt suffocated as he watched the scene in front of him.
He thought of the suit that Anna gave him. No wonder she had such good craftsmanship that even the old tailor was impressed by it. It turned out that Anna was a designer as well.
At first, Justin only thought that Anna was a decent seamstress, but it seemed that he had underestimated her.
She was the master of an internationally renowned designer. This was an accolade that not many people in the country could receive.
Justin felt bitterness in his throat and mixed feelings in his heart.
Anna had been by his side for three years, but she hid all her talents from him. Why did she not show him her true side?
Justin felt like his three years of marriage to Anna meant nothing.
“Hello, Ms. Walker, I am Mr. Salvador’s fiancée. My name is Rosalind Gold…” Rosalind stepped forward and wanted to shake hands with Roza.
Unexpectedly, Roza did not want to have any physical contact with Rosalind. She even pulled Bella back a step, as if she wanted to avoid catching the plague. “I don’t remember having a ‘Rosalind Gold’ on my guest list.” “I…” “I don’t know where you got the invitation from, but I didn’t invite you. This is a private reception, so outsiders aren’t allowed in. Please leave immediately.” Roza was not polite. Creative people were always a little arrogant.
Rosalind’s face turned pale. She hurriedly grabbed Justin’s shirt and asked for help.
“Ms. Walker, we didn’t know this was a private reception and didn’t mean to offend you. My fiancée appreciates your talent and has been waiting for the opportunity to meet you. I hope you can understand and forgive us for the intrusion.” Justin’s eyes were sincere, and his attitude was humble.
Bella felt a stab in her heart and clenched her fists.
Justin was such an arrogant man who had never begged anyone. Usually, others would be begging him for favors.
For Rosalind’s sake, Justin did not hesitate to apologize to Roza in hopes of staying.
Bella almost scoffed.
In this world, the only person who could make Justin bend over backward was Rosalind. However, Bella had once overestimated her own abilities and thought that she would be able to move Justin with her efforts.
Rosalind hugged Justin’s arm tightly. She looked innocent, but she was secretly laughing on the inside.
“Mr. Salvador, you have never attended such events. After all, we’re in different industries.” Roza took a look at Justin and smiled. “But since you said so, it would be petty for me to kick you out. You may stay then, Mr. Salvador.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 150-Bella thought, ‘What?!’ She kept shooting glances at Roza, but that girl did not notice Bella’s gaze. Roza just kept staring at Justin like he was eye candy.
Bella thought, ‘This brat! She’ll get a stye for staring at a scumbag like him!’ “Thank you.” Justin silently breathed a sigh of relief. However, Roza added, “You can stay, but Ms. Gold must leave.” Rosalind was completely stunned. She asked angrily, “Why must I leave? I am Mr. Salvador’s fiancée!” The surrounding guests were shocked by her loud voice and looked at her in disgust.
“Tsk, tsk.” Roza shook her head. “I wouldn’t guess that in a million years if you didn’t tell me.” “You!” Rosalind was infuriated.
“I didn’t kick Mr. Salvador out because he’s handsome and well-dressed, fitting in with my other fashionable guests.” Roza looked at Rosalind again and said, “Ms. Gold, I can’t stand your outfit. Your taste is clearly incompatible with mine, so please leave.” Bella held her forehead in frustration.
She remembered that her apprentice was a real pervert who enjoyed staring at handsome men.
She thought, ‘This brat… I ought to “thank” her for keeping Justin here…’ “Ms. Walker, we don’t mean any harm by intruding on your private reception. But you’re being too harsh.” Justin’s voice deepened. He looked furious.
“Was I? Mr. Salvador, your fiancée ridiculed my mentor in front of so many people. I’m already showing you enough respect for not asking security to throw her out.” Roza’s expression instantly turned glum. Her smile disappeared.
There was silence all around as the situation escalated.
Bella looked at Roza in surprise. It turned out that Roza was aware of her confrontation with Rosalind just now.
Suddenly, a warmth surged through Bella’s heart.
“I… I…” Rosalind was speechless. Her forehead broke out in cold sweat, and she leaned against Justin with all her strength.
Rosalind’s arrogance earlier backfired.
Justin’s handsome face was stiff.
“Roza, forget it.” Bella was afraid of affecting the other guests. Roza had also shown her dominance over this matter, so Bella played the good cop. That way, she would seem magnanimous. She said in a low voice, “Since they’re already here, just consider them your guests. Don’t make a big fuss over this. I didn’t take what Ms. Gold said just now to heart. Moreover, everything Ms. Gold said was true. I am indeed a nobody, so there’s no need to pursue this further.” As soon as Bella said this, everyone felt indignant for her.
“Look at this young lady. She’s so forgiving and graceful!” “That’s right. So what if she doesn’t come from a wealthy family? Many designers with grassroots backgrounds made their name in the fashion industry. Ms. Gold is so distasteful for picking on this!” “Ms. Gold is so petty. How can she be Mr. Salvador’s fiancée? She’s more like an unseemly mistress.” “Mr. Salvador’s taste in women is indeed worrying…’ }}
Rosalind gritted her teeth in anger, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
She did not want to stay here anymore, but Justin did not intend to back down.
Justin clenched his jaw and fists.
He would stay no matter what, even if he was humiliated.
That was because he wanted to see what Anna was up to.
