Ch. 1421..1430
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1421-"Justin, you still have the appetite for food? If I were you, I couldn't even take a bite."
Axel drank the iced water in his cup in one go, then slammed it on the table heavily. "Shannon's case will officially go on public trial next Friday."
Upon mentioning Shannon, who had not appeared for a long time, everyone's expressions fell.
"I know. I counted the days."
Justin's brows furrowed slightly, his voice tight and hoarse, trying to suppress the pain that felt like a blunt knife cutting into his heart. "There isn't one day that
I have forgotten how my mother died, nor have I forgotten to avenge my mother and those innocent lives taken by Shannon."
Bella's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes shone with glistening tears. She slowly extended her warm hands under the table, holding Justin's trembling palms tightly.
As if he had gotten hold of the only beam of light in the night sky, Justin immediately intertwined their fingers, deeply staring into her clear eyes.
"Tsk, I was curious and asked around about Shannon's situation in jail a few days ago. She's adjusted quite well inside, getting special treatment with her identity as a business tycoon's wife. She even has followers. It seems she's living a great life. I heard she's getting the highest level of food and skincare products, even cigarettes."
Ralph's teeth clenched as he sneered. "It looks like your father has not completely given up on Shannon, and he's still protecting her dignity. He probably intends to bail her out."
"Ha, food and skincare products? She can have that." Bella raised an eyebrow.
"Just make sure to take away her diapers."
"Gregory is not my father." Justin's eyes were bloodshot. "From the moment my mother took her last breath, he ceased to be my father."
"Justin…" Bella's breath hitched in her chest.
el.n "These years, I only stayed at the Salvador Corporation because that was my mother's dying wish. She hoped I would never get bullied by anyone and earn Gregory's attention, wishing would grow up to be a successful man and become Grandpa's biggest pride. After that, I wanted to surpass my brother like a madman, doing everything I could to prove myself, and trying to fight for power in the Salvador Corporation. But that had nothing to do with them. I only hope to fulfill my mother's dying wish, to become stronger, so that my mother would be proud of me."
Justin closed his dimmed eyes, an immense pain targeting his chest like an invisible hand punching his beating, heavy heart. "But in the end, I've become a clown, living under the he roof as my mother's murderer so many years and working tirelessly for that man. If it wasn't for Bella's persistence and Linny sacrificing herself to obtain crucial information, my mother would never same for rest in peace."
However, even so, Justin felt ashamed to stand before his mother's grave as long as Shannon was still alive.
"Justin, what do you mean by that? You aren't thinking of giving up on the Salvador Corporation and relying on our family, right?" Axel blurted out.
Axel sized him up, frowning. "My sister hasn't enjoyed a single good day being with you. Do you still want her to start from scratch with you?"
Ralph was also displeased. "Exactly. If you want to marry our sister, how can we agree to it without a billion-dollar dowry? We don't mind living in poverty, but we won't let our sister suffer!"
Bella was speechless.
Her brothers were expert troublemakers. She did not evem need a RNA testto donfirm that they were definitely Wyatt's flesh and blood.
Ryan patted his shoulder indignantly. "Justin, I know better
than anyone else how much you suffered to become the president of Salvador Corporation. It you're really mad, you should take the company from your father. Why are you such a pussy? I suggest you learn from Christopher. Look at his heartless and ruthless determination! Don't keep considering this and that. Just take everything!"
"You haven't experienced the struggles to survive in his family, so don't talk as if you do. (Bella's sharp don't talk as if you do. (Bellas sharp gaze swepPadross Ryan's face. "Did you even hear yourself? Christopher loves to prey on his brothers. Should I ask Justin to use you as practice?"
Ryan immediately shut up, feeling a lingering fear.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1422-"Justin, they don't understand you, but I do."
Bella sighed, putting her warm palms on the back of his hands. "If it were me, I'd do my best to fulfill my mother's dying wish too. But I could understand your mother's thoughts. What she actually wanted was for you to be capable enough to protect yourself, hoping you'd become strong.
"The road you chose was not wrong. Even though you resent your father, Grandpa Nigel has always doted on you, contributing to your achievements today. For Grandpa Nigel, your perseverance and efforts are not without meaning."
"Bella… Thank you." Justin held back the lump in his throat, but his voice trembled lightly as he called out to her.
"What are you thanking me for? I just know you too well." Bella flashed a sweet smile at him.
"Now, Winston is willing to testify as a witness to accuse Shannon of hiring hitmen, taking drugs, and hiding drugs. Her sentence won't be light." Axel's brows furrowed. "But I know it's far from enough. We wanted Shannon to get a death sentence. After all, she has more lives on her hands!"
"It's hard."
Ralph frowned and shook his head, his expression heavy. "We don't have evidence of her instigating murder. Moreover, Linny's recordings were obtained illegally, so we can't present them in court. Another point is that Justin's mother's case was over twenty years ago. Even if we have that maid's testimony, it's still not enough. Besides, Shannon's defense attorney is Hunter. Who knows what sort of dirty tricks that bastard would use to deal with us?"
Steven's face paled, and he took a deep breath. "This time, I will stand in court as Linny's defense attorney."
Ralph and Axel were stunned. "Steven, you want to go to court?!” On the other hand, Bella and Justin remained calm, even casting confident glances at him.
A few days ago, Steven had already informed them of his plan and received their support.
He had been a secretary for the Thompson family for many years, and many people, including his brother, had forgotten that Steven was a top student from the best law school in Savrow.
If Steven genuinely wanted to compete with Hunter, there would be no place for Hunter in the legal field in Savrow.
"This court appearance will be the showdown between me and Hunter."
Steven's gaze was burning with resolution. "I know what Hunter can't accept it's the feeling of suffering a crushing defeat, especially losing to me that will be worse than killing him."
Bella nodded solemnly.
IMS With a phone call, she could have countless outstanding attorneys flock to serve the Salvador Corporation and KS Group.
But when it came to the impact on Hunter, Steven would be the sharpest knife.
"Steven, it must be hard on you." Axel sighed softly, feeling moved.
"Mr. Axel, there's something I share in common with Mr. Salvador. He lost his father, and I've long lost my brother."
Steven poured a glass of wine and raised it to Justin. "Mr. S since we're in the same shouldn't we share anet Content Justin felt a warmth surge into his heart, and he immediately stood up, raising his for tak glass. "Steven, thank you
for taking care of Bella all this while and being willing ta help May wel both get what we want."
"Definitely." Steven's eyes welled up with tears as he nodded heavily.
Bella stood up too, raising her glass with a smile. Her slim arms weren hookedareund Justin's waist. "Come on! Let's do it together!"
The six wine glasses raised above their heads were filled witha gleam ofhopelto victory.
"Let's do it!"
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1423-Today is a beautiful day. is pleased to present our readers with 10 additional chapters of this novel as a small gift. We hope everyone has a relaxing time at FindNovel.net.
In fact, the difficulties they faced were not just one or two items.
Even though Winston had confessed all that he could, they still had not caught the key person, Maxwell. Their plan to drag Christopher down could not be realized.
After the guests left, Wilma happened to return, helping Justin and Bella clean up the kitchen and the house.
"Justin, can you find a chance to talk to Ryan? Don't let him get mad with jealousy whenever he sees Ralph."
Bella put the dishes into the sink and prepared to wash them, pouting as she said, "Why does he treat all single and handsome men as his imaginary love rival? All of my brothers are single. Why does he only target Ralph?
"He hasn't even married Carrie yet, and he's already acting like an obsessive and possessive lover. If they really get married, Carrie will lose her freedom. Will he imprison Carrie at home when she looks at another man? Will he abuse Carrie?"
"Bella, Ryan isn't like that. He cares deeply for Carrie. This is his first time falling in love genuinely, so he treats Carrie as if she's more important than his life. It's natural for him to feel insecure and anxious." Justin strode over, grabbing Bella by her waist and hoisting her to the side, rolling up his sleeves to wash the dishes swiftly. "Let me do it. Your hands are fair and smooth. Soaking them in detergent all the time will damage them."
Ryan loved Carrie deeply.
Bella loved Justin deeply too, so even his casual words were stuck in her mind, replaying themselves.
After overthinking, the sensitive woman bit her lower lip, asking softly, "How about you? Am I the first woman you genuinely fell for?"
The moment these words left her lips, Bella felt a twinge of regret.
She knew the answer. She also knew that this man would never lie, even if telling a lie to coax her would make her feel better sometimes. He just never did.
Justin's movements paused as bitterness filled his throat. His brows furrowed deeply, and his thoughts raced across his mind.
He washed and dried his hands, then held Bella's round shoulders, his deep eyes looking into her moist and captivating gaze. "Sorry, Bella."
"It's not me. I know…"
A surge of excruciating pain spread throughout Bella's heart like venom through her limbs, causing her to tear up, but she still forced a smile. "Sigh… I already knew the answer. Why did I still ask? It's so pointless."
Justin was distressed. His thin lips pursed into a straight line. He immediately pulled her into his arms, tightening his embrace, as if he wanted to embed every inch of her into his flesh. She cared about his answer.
How could she not? He once tore her love apart, letting her noble self fall into dust.
"Bella, if you ask me whether I loved Rosalind, the answer is no. I'm not trying to lie, but that's the truth."
Justin's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of bitter guilt. "She was ordered by Shannon to approach me and set me up, treating me with kindness only to make me obedient net ove Before falling in love with you, didn't know what love was. I only know I should repay whoever treats me well. Besides, she saved my life. I treated her as a benefactor.
Therefore, I could only think of how to repay her."
"But you gave her unique jewelry…" Bella buried her wet face in Justin's chest, getting more tearful as she spoke.
"She asked me for it."
Justin was extremely regretful, but it was indeed something nasty he did and could not deny, "Rosalind told me thenelis a Vamous jewelry designer overseas, and she wanted a jewel personally designed by that artist, so I could only think of a way to buy it.
"Now that I think about it, I was living like a soulless zombie back then. I did whatever she asked of me, not thinking about anytin@else.Okhow you won't beleave anything I say, and I don't want to explain or defend myself. Bella, if you really can't get over it, l'ud rather you stab me with all the knives in this kitchen to vent your anger. Just don't keep it bottled up inside…"
"Then what if I am annoyed at you and want you to get as far away from me as possible?"
Bella's voice was soft and coquettish, her tears soaking Justin's white shirt.
"You can't." Justin panicked, his breath growing rapidly. "I will gling to you and pegter you every day. Even in death, i'll become a lingering ghost and haunt you."
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1424 -Justin said, "Bella... I can't leave you anymore. Not even a minute."Bella slowly raised her eyes, which were filled with tears.Justin quickly wiped her tears, his heart in distress upon seeing her cry."So... You're saying that the first woman you had a crush on is still me?" Bella questioned him further.Justin cautiously probed, "Do you want to hear the truth?""Of course.""...No.""Justin! You bastard!"Bella was utterly enraged, raining punches on his chest fiercely. "Why didn't I see through your true colors earlier? You're such a playboy! Get lost! Get out of my house and leave Wilma with me!" Justin let her hit him to the extent that his voice trembled when he spoke, but he still said seriously, "Bella, the person I love most is you; the person I want to marry is you; the person I want to spend my life protecting is you. Because of this, I want to lay my heart bare to you and confess everything about me to you. I don't want to hide anything."Justin took a deep breath and said word by word, "Back then, I was on Kridor's battlefield, infiltrating a terrorist organization to rescue hostages. There was a girl wearing a white robe and a thick mask who left a deep impression on me."Bella was stunned, her heart thumping wildly, as if her blood were boiling.Even the part of her thumb she lost sense of seemed to tremble slightly."What happened next?""I thought she was a defenseless and fragile medic, but unexpectedly, she knew how to use a gun and was a skilled fighter. I was there to rescue her, but in the end, I was severely injured, relying on her desperate efforts to save my life."Justin smiled bitterly, filled with guilt and helplessness. "Before that, I thought of myself as a lone hero on the battlefield. Since then, I have not dared to boast about myself. I am only an ordinary man with mortal flesh. It was only with luck that I met my benefactor and managed to survive."Bella stared at him without blinking, as if her soul had sunk into his deep gaze.
irresistible desire ate away at his remaining sense of ratignality m causing pico tó be intoxicated and unable to pull away."Then?""At that time, kwas severely injured. I didn't know if could make it out alive. I asked that girl to leave me, but she was stubborn like you. She wrapped me in a straw mat and tied me to her shoulders. I was almost unconscious at the time, and she dragged me over a long distance."When Justin recounted his experience, his heart felt a slight pang of pain.The cruel scenes of war and that girl's stubborn back were etched into his memory until now. "I was distressed for her... It's not just distress. I don't even know what she looks like or what her name is. But I felt something toward her."Bella, I can't lie to you. That was the first time I had a crush on someone.Perhaps it was the bridge effect from us being in a dangerous situation, but I don't want to lie to you..."Before his words fell, Bella abruptly sealed his thin lips with a passionate kiss. Her soft and sweet mouth made his mind go blank. Only an et After a passionate entanglement, they finally parted as they panted."Bella, you..."
Justin was about to speak, but Bella gently pressed his rosy lips with a finger, her eyes shining@with. m captivating right. "Since that girl saved your life, I'll forgive you this once. For the rest of our lives, I want your heart to only beat for me."
Justin let out a sigh of relief, as if he had received amnesty. He stared at her deeply, like there were stars in his eves! He looked honest and affectionate. "It's more than that. I'm even willing to die for you gladly."
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1425-Bella's rapidly beating heart had not calmed down yet as she pretended to be cool, asking, "After that, didn't you try to find that girl?"
"I've never stopped searching for her, but I don't even know her name or what she looks like. There's nowhere to start."
Justin smiled self-mockingly. "I gave her a nickname, Little Dove. Doves symbolize hope. I was able to come back alive from the battlefield because of her. She gave me hope." Bella's eyes teared up again.
At this point, regardless of whether he knew she was Little Dove, it was enough.
The couple cleaned up the kitchen and living room, took a bath together, and changed into clean matching pajamas, preparing to end the day in their room.
At this time, lan returned.
"lan, you're back? Have you eaten? If not, I'll heat something up for you," Bella asked with concern, sounding more like a considerate elder sister than his boss's wife. "I'm not hungry."
lan quickly shook his head, his eyes dim, and his brows furrowed with a rare sadness.
Bella and Justin exchanged glances. Their thoughts were connected, so they understood what each other was thinking without saying a word.
"Ian, I've been having trouble sleeping for the past two days. I'd like a drink to aid in my sleep. Come have a drink with me." Justin ordered in a light tone.
lan naturally could not reject it. "Yes, Mr. Salvador."
"You guys go ahead. I'll excuse myself. My waist feels sore." Bella frowned slightly.
Justin's eyes darkened as he placed his hand on Bella's narrow waist, teasingly asking, "Is it because of me?"
"Mr. Salvador, it's not good to indulge in lust. Don't forget how so many kings died young in the past."
Bella poked his chest, a shade of red creeping up onto her face. She urged softly, "Enough. Have a good chat with lan. I'll go to sleep first."
Justin opened a bottle of fine red wine, and the two men sat facing each other.
Seeing that Justin was pouring wine for him, lan felt flattered and quickly stood up, bowing respectfully, and held his glass with both hands. "Mr. Salvador, I can do it myself. This is below you!"
Justin poured the wine expressionlessly. "Stop the nonsense. There's just me and you here; no need to act."
lan was speechless.
They drank in silence for a while before Justin asked, "Did you go to visit Ms.
Mead?"
lan's expression turned stiff, and he replied quietly, "Yes…"
"So what do you want to do?" Justin cut straight to the point. He was never one to beat around the bushes.
"Yes."
lan pursed his lips tightly, feeling a surge of complex emotions wash, •O I over him, his eyesgradually reddening. "Mr. Salvador, do you believe that I will fall in love with a girtin a few short days?"
lan was stunned.
One had to know that his boss was the least perceptive person genit came te mgtters di love. Apart from Bella!
?, Justin was numb toward anyone's feelings."Even Bella could fall in love with a lousy man like me at first sight. Why is it impossible for you to fall for an ofitstanding girl like Ms. Mead?"Justin's gaze flickered, and he smiled bitterly.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1426-"Young Madam fell in love with you at first sight?!" lan's eyes widened, his soul burning with curiosity.
Justin's gaze darkened as he poured himself a drink. The fragrant and mellow wine only left a bitter taste on his tongue.
"It's a pity that I can't redo my life and can't be the one who fell in love with Bella first. It will be my regret for life."
He had another regret, which was the biggest one.
It was the fact that he let Bella lose their precious child, whom she desired the most. Due to that incident, her chance to become a mother was slim.
Justin struggled to catch his breath, as if the air he drew into his lungs had become frosty knives. "I will give it my all to make her happy, but I don't know if I could do a good job…"
After all, something abstract like happiness could only be counted if the person involved felt satisfied.
"Mr. Salvador, you are truly… the most devoted man I've met. Among all the people I've encountered, you and Young Madam have the softest and kindest hearts."
When lan said this, Rachel's clear eyes, which always seemed on the verge of tears and never failed to distress him, surfaced in his mind. "Rather than making Young Madam happy, I hope you can soothe each other's souls. I also hope that you can have a taste of bliss too."
After all, before falling in love with Bella, Justin had no one except himself.
Justin's heart and body were worn out, and his soul was a barren land.
It was Bella who made beautiful roses bloom in Justin's barren soul.
Thinking of his little rose, Justin could not help but smile. "Don't worry about me.
I'm already in a good place now. Being able to be by Bella's side and making her happy is the greatest blessing in my life." Then, he cleared his throat.
"Enough about me. Let's talk about you. Do you really like Ms. Mead?"
"Yes… I think I'm catching feelings for her."
lan felt stifled in his chest, smiling in self-mockery. "Today is Ms. Mead's birthday. I brought flowers and a gift to meet her."
Justin raised his brows slightly.
The last time his secretary fell for someone was when he was studying at university, and it was an unrequited love for four years. Later, his crush graduated and married his senior, eventually having children. She had remarried three times, yet he was not even married once and was still a virgin.
In terms of pursuing a girl, it was lan's first time.
However, his crush this time was very unsuitable.
"She accepted the flowers but not the gift. She didn't accept my confession either."
lan's trembling hands grabbed his glass tightly, his heart contracting in pain. "Mr.
Salvador, am I that bad? The first time I visited Ms. Mead, even looked down on where she lived was prejudiced against her, thinking only materialistic girls would work at that kind of place.
"How could I think like that? What do I have? What makes me better than her…"
As lan spoke, strong emotions choked his throat, making him unable to speak for a while.
"It's only right that she doesn't accept me. I went overboard. I was too pathetic…"
Justin was shocked.
Although he saw through lan's thoughts, he did not expect lan's feelings to burn with passion silently, to the extent that he would really confess his admiration to Rachel.
In terms of his determination and courage in loving a person, Justin was far from lan.
Justin had actually taken the moral high ground, trying to sway his feelings.
What right did he have?
"No, lan. In my eyes, you were always an excellent secretary Jant where l amn today bedause you were by my side.
'"lan's heart pounded, his eyes shining with excitement as he stammered, "M-Mr. SalvadoR. It's my duty to do so!"
lan's heart pounded, his eyes shining with excitement as he stammered, "M-Mr. SalvadoR. It's my duty to do so!"
"What I'm trying to tell you is that you are a good person. Don't belittle yourself."
Justin's gaze was low and
restrained. He cared for lan like a doting father. "If you truly like Ms.
Mead, go all out. But not now Atithe very least, you can only pursue her after she's of age. For now, you can look after her silently, but don't disturb her studies. I think this is part of the reason she rejected you.
A student should prioritize their studies."
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1427-"I understand… I couldn't help myself tonight. I won't be so irrational anymore."
lan stood up, bowing to Justin guiltily.
"Humans make mistakes. You haven't done anything wrong, so you don't need to be like this. But since you found the right person, you should choose the right timing."
Justin's tall figure left his seat. He walked toward the wine cellar's door and suddenly halted, squinting at lan. "Is the gift you gave Ms. Mead another one of those cliche, luxurious items? You lack creativity, sincerity, and meaning. No wonder she rejected it."
lan could not help but feel embarrassed. Justin was right on point!
On the way home, Carrie felt like someone was awfully sullen and quiet.
When they were on the bed, Ryan could not hold back anymore. His eyes were tainted with desire, and his large hands had slipped under Carrie's white nightgown.
Their breaths entangled as their fingers intertwined, sweaty.
Tonight, he took from Carrie without feeling any exhaustion.
His caress on her lips, waist, and breasts made her melt.
In the end, when he sat up and held her tight as they reached their climax together, Ryan only felt that the woman in his arms was burning up.
Carrie lay in Ryan's arms as if she did not have a spine. They were still connected, but she did not care anymore. Her eyelids struggled to stay open.
"Honey, you're the best. What do you want as a reward?" Ryan kissed Carrie's forehead, which was covered with sweat. His voice was thick and husky, filled with lust.
Carrie was half-asleep. "I… Want… The little panda."
Ryan's eyes immediately narrowed, and his heart skipped a beat. "What?"
"Little panda… So cute… I want to have a bite." Carrie still felt a little regret for not being able to eat the panda pastry that Ralph bought. Her stomach grumbled, and she licked her lips.
"Carrie Salvador."
Ryan's eyes went red as he pinned her down again. "Do you want to eat the little panda, or are you thinking about the person who gave it to you, huh?"
His voice was harsher than before, filled with possessiveness that made her heart tremble.
"Ryan… What happened to you?"
"Answer me!" Ryan questioned her with heavy resentment.
Carrie's heart raced nervously, and she no longer felt sleepy. "Um… I… I want to eat the little panda. I only want to eat the pastry…"
Upon hearing her words, Ryan felt at ease. But he still refused to let her off. His domineering kiss almost drained every bit of air in her lungs.
"Honey, in the future, you can't take what another man gives you… You can only take from me. You can only look at me and want me…" As Ryan at me spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of inexplicable grievance.
He was indeed head-over-heels in love with Carrie.
If not for his overwhelming love for Carrie, how could he become a terrifyingly jealous person? How could he feel insecure about every little thing?
In the latter half of the night, if it were not for Carrie's tearful begging, they might have stayed up late enough to watch the sunrise.
After Carrie fell asleep, Ryan got up and took a cold shower for almost hait an hour, noteven bethering to fifish drying himself before putting on a robe and picking up his phone to call Yasmin.
Soon, Yasmin changed into proper clothes and came to his bedroom door.
"Mr. Hoffman, do you have any orders?"
"Tomorrow morning, I want you to buy out that pastry shop that Carrie likes!"
Yasmin was stunned. Her expression was uncertain. "That shop has been run by a fargily forgenerations and is almost à century-old establishment…
I'm afraid they won't agree."
Ryan gritted his teeth fiercely, clenching his fists.
"Then fucking let the Hoffman Group l.ne
become a shareholder! Anyway, if Carrie wants to eat their pastriesn they must deliver then to. me intimediately! If they disagree, make that damn shop disappear from Savrow!"
He slammed the door shut.
Yasmin stood shocked for a while, then she returned to her senses, feeling exasperated.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1428-Only the power of money could ease Ryan's jealousy.
Charles was formally prosecuted by the prosecutor's office as he faced several serious charges.
The Iverson family's attitude was also clear. Just like they had abandoned Astrid, they now threw Charles to the side.
After all, if they still tried to save this useless trash, the whole Iverson Group might sink.
After Charles was detained in jail for a week, he did not welcome the hope of light to save him. Instead, what came to him was the thorn in his sideChristopher. "Hey, bastard."
Wearing gray prison clothes, Charles looked unkempt with stubble. He sniffed.
"Are you here to laugh at me too? Next time, you can come with James. I've got no fucking time to see you fucking dogs every other day!"
"No time? Aren't you still meeting me now?"
Christopher curled his lips, smiling faintly. "If you truly harbor no more hope, you wouldn't even come to meet me. Since you did, it means you still want to hear some good news. After all, you also know that, with our relationship, I have no reason to visit you and check on how you're doing. Am I right?"
"So? Are you bailing me out?"
"Even Dad and James couldn't do it, so I certainly can't."
"Then why the fuck are you here? Are you that bored?!"
Christopher was not in a hurry to reveal his purpose. He asked with a smile, "How was your conversation with James when he visited you the last time?"
Charles gritted his teeth, not uttering a word.
"It must not be a pleasant conversation."
Christopher pretended as if he were worried about Charles' situation. "We both know what kind of person James is Since childhood, nobody who offended him has gotten off lightly Now that you've fallen out with him, I suppose throughout your long prison life, no matter what type of trouble you got into, he won't help you anymore."
"Do I need his help?! Pfft!" Charles acted tough, but he was anxious inside.
During the days he spent in jail, he had heard of how rapists were at the bottom of the prison hierarchy, often becoming targets of bullying. How could he possibly not be afraid?
"While that may be true, if someone could look out for you in the future, your life in prison should not be too hard."
"Christopher, you wouldn't visit me without a purpose. Stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want!" Charles snarled.
"Although I was developing my career in Sentania all these years, I've made quite some connections in Savrow's legal circle. With a word from me, you'll still be able to live a comfortable life in prison." Christopher casually put his hand on the armrest, his face full of superiority.
"Cut the fucking crap! You open your mouth and spew nonsense. Do you think i'll believe your" Charless M suffered a Severe blow from his brother and did not believe anyone.
Christopher glanced at Taylor beside him.
Taylor immediately understood and put a share transfer form in front of Charles, saying politely, "Mr. Charles, please have a look."
Charles was enraged, his lips twitching. "Hmph, again? The previous one became a ground of shredded paper!"
"If you sign this, your life in prison in the future will be smooth sailing Mr.
Christopher wilktake care of any tröuble you encounter," Taylor continued brainwashing Charles.
Charles growled, "Son of a bitch! You have no place to speak here. Get lost!"
Taylor's expression stiffened, but he had to endure it silently for his boss's plan.
"You too! Trying to cheat me out of my shares… Dream on!"
Charles was just about to get up and leave when Christopher suddenly smiled coldly "Charles, if I say I could help you bring down James, are you willing to support me?"
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1429-Support your ass!"
Charles exploded immediately, throwing curse words around, his eyes red with madness.
"Christopher, you son of a bitch! How dare you say this? At the very least, James and I came from the same mother, and he looked out for me since we were young. Who do you think you are? You're just an illegitimate bastard born from a lowly affair between that bitch and another bodyguard! How do you have the audacity to covet the Iverson family business?!"
Taylor glared at this foul-mouthed man madly, his fists clenching in anger.
However, Christopher still wore a faint smile, as if he did not take Charles' words to heart at all.
"If you didn't set me up, exposing my scandals with those bunch of women, I wouldn't be investigated by the police, and things would not come to this point!
"The real mastermind is you! It's fucking you!"
"Charles, do you really think I'm the mastermind?"
Christopher pushed his golden-rimmed glasses lightly and asked in a calm tone, "Is the brother you have admired since childhood really someone who cares about sibling bonds? Is he really unrelated to everything that's happened to you?"
"Christopher, you're still trying to sow discord between us at this moment? Why are you such a despicable asshole?" Every pore on Charles' body exuded hatred for this brother of his.
"Indeed, I don't like you, but at least I've never used you, nor have I wanted to take your life."
Christopher looked at him helplessly. "I only want to take back what belongs to me."
"You… What do you mean?" Charles could sense that there was more to his words, so his heart raced.
"Charles, you must've been thinking about one question every day you spent in jail. Why were you suddenly accused of hiring for murder? Don't you want to know what the truth is? Who's really responsible for your crime?"
Although Charles could not trust Christopher, he still wanted to know how he got to this point, so he slowly sat back down.
Christopher hooked his fingers, and Taylor placed a stack of photos on the table.
Charles took them and flipped through. Immediately, it was as if a bomb had exploded in his brain, the shock causing his ears to ring, his neck to turn red, and his eyeballs to bulge.
"You recognize this man, right? He's James's secretary. He approached your subordinates privately, and I checked their accounts. They had a transfer of three million dollars. The sender's account was offshore so the police could not identify them. However, I believe the answer to where the money came from is clear, now that you have these pictures before you."
Christopher's glasses flashed with a glint of cold light. His eyes were cunning.
Charles crumpled the photos in his hand, his eyes so red as if blood would drip from them. "Impossible… How could it be… How could James…" "Do this to you?"
Christopher crossed his legs. His lips twisted into a cruel sneer. "He took care of the troubles for you only to gain VO and trust from Dad. He never did it out of brotherly เอน affection. But at that time, the Mead girl had decided to turn toward Justin and Bella, testifying against you for rape. He had no choice but to resort to murder.
However, the risk is huge. It would be fine if he could succeed, but if not, someone has to bear the fall." Content "So… He used my men to do dirty work for me? In this way, even if things went wrong, he could still blame it on me?!" Charles felt as if someone was strangling him. He struggled to breathe.
"Not only that. I've found out that your subordinate's wife and children are under their control now. Is all of this not enough to prove that the person who brought you to this state is James?"
Taylor fanned the flames. "Mr. Charles, I know you hate Mr. Christopher, but apart from him, who would still care for you now? James set you up and still acted innocent in front of you, trying to get his hands on your shares. He's truly heartless for treating you like a fool!"
'Treat me like a fool?!' Charles always thought of James as a guiding light in his life, byt his brother only saw him as à tool to regain their father's favor?!
"Taylor, stop it."
Christopher acted as if he were thinking out of consideration for Charles, sighing helplassly.crouve seen the fuation charles is in now.
He's already under tremendous pressure, so stop adding to his worries."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up.
"Charles, although we don't have the same mother, we share the same father and grew up together. No matter what, I could never do anything like James did, shift net the blame for murder onto you, would be like exploiting the last value you have and then treating you like trash. It's too cruel."
Veins bulged on Charles' forehead, and he was so mad that his facial muscles twitched unceDtrollably?"'il transferthe shares to you, but you must give me all the evidence you have against James! I want to appeal. I want to get out of here!"
"Wait!"
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1430-"Of course. I'll give it to you now."
As if he had predicted that Charles would negotiate with him, Christopher put the prepared parchment envelope before him. "Inside, you'll find all the evidence I collected. These might be insufficient to accuse James of hiring for murder, but they should help you turn the tables. However, you can't take these in with you right now. You can apply to see your lawyer and entrust him to handle this matter fully." Charles confirmed the contents inside the envelope and hesitated, weighing his options. In the end, he made up his mind.
He signed his name on the share transfer agreement and pressed his fingerprint.
Christopher suppressed his wild urge to smile madly. Behind his gentle and graceful gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze was as fierce as that of a bloodthirsty beast about to swallow its prey whole. "Charles, it's a pleasure working with you.
When you are released, I'll fetch you personally and give you a grand welcome befitting the second son of the Iverson family."
Just as they prepared to leave, Charles suddenly called out to him. He gritted his teeth and said, "The shares you hold now are enough for you to compete with James. You must not let him off easily. You must make him end up miserably!"
"I will." Christopher's eyes narrowed viciously.
Christopher thought, 'Not only James. Each and every one of you will meet a gruesome death.' After leaving the jail, Taylor clapped his hands excitedly.
"Congratulations, Mr. Christopher! The Iverson Group's shares in your hands have increased! We're one step closer to dethroning James!"
Christopher vigorously rubbed his hands with hand sanitizer, but the delight was evident on his face. "This is why I've kept him alive all this time."
Taylor suddenly realized something.
"Charles thought his lifesaver was Lance, but he was wrong."
Christopher used another clean handkerchief to wipe his hand carefully, then threw it on the ground with disdain. "His lifesaver is the shares he holds in the Iverson Group. Now, as a human, he no longer has any value in the world. Get rid of him as soon as possible."
Taylor's eyes darkened, and he nodded.
Thinking about how Charles still depended on him to avenge himself, hoping those few papers could save him from jail, Christopher could not help but want to laugh. S Now, anyone that Charles might get in touch with has been bought off by Christopher.
Who could Charles still rely on?
He should just go to hell and beg for mercy there.
On the way back to Pivotage, Christopher received a call from Maxwell.
"Mr. Christopher, have you prepared the money, cash, and plane I asked for?"
Christopher was in a good mood because of the shares, and even his tone was surprisingly pleasant when speaking with Maxwel. 'Yes. Pcan give you the money right away. You can leave tomorrow, but be extra careful. The Salvadors, Thompsons, and Hoffmans are after you. Their spies are everywhere in Savrow. You might not make it out with the slightest misstep."
"I'll come to meet you! We'll talk when we meet!"
"No. You can do anything now except meet me."
Christopher was sly. How could he agree to expose himself? Meeting Maxwell was like inviting trouble.
"I'll ask my men to put the money in a secluded place and send youthen address Vater ou can pick it up whenever you're ready."
