Ch. 1431..1440

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1431-"What about the plane?"

"As long as you get the money smoothly and ensure that no one is following you, you can leave anytime." Christopher smiled, but his eyes shone with a sinister gleam.

"Then hurry up! I've had enough of this damn place!" Maxwell could not adjust to Savrow and had to be in hiding. He had long since reached his limits.

Christopher wiped his foot on the white handkerchief. "You only need to listen to my arrangements. I'll definitely send you on your way."

The next morning, Bella and Justin received a shocking piece of news.

Charles was found dead in the jail's public bath.

Rumors said that his death was eerie and horrifying. His body was stiff when he was found, his face almost purple-black, and he was strangled to death by the stainless-steel shower pipe. The pipe was entangled around his neck, making it seem like he had killed himself.

But how could it be suicide?

How could someone who still wanted to bathe and keep clean suddenly seek death?

Charles' death was a huge scandal. The police had informed the Iverson family to transfer Charles' body to the forensic department for a more detailed investigation.

After Bella and Justin finished listening to Ralph's report over the phone, they did not know how to react for a while.

It was not bad news, since it was a good thing that the monster died, but who was it that wanted him dead so badly?

Even if Charles were alive, he would have to rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Who was it that could not even wait for judgment day, wanting to send him to hell immediately?

"The funniest part is that the police contacted the Iverson family, but Lance and James dragged their feet and refused to pick up Charles' body. In the end, they only sent a secretary to clean up the mess. Ha! The second son of the Iverson family actually didn't have anyone to claim his body. It's pretty lamentable,"

Ralph mocked.

It was not that he bore a sense of sympathy, but he simply felt the Iversons did not deserve to be human.

"Ralph, Charles wouldn't have committed suicide. Someone must have murdered him. No matter what, we need to investigate this matter. I think it could lead to a deeper, darker side, leading us to someone bigger."

Bella and Justin sat on the sofa, and she nestled between the man's legs at this moment, his strong arms wrapped around her waist.

Justin's jaw rested on her neck, his warm breath spraying on her reddened ears, causing her to feel an itch and shrink her neck.

"Mmm… Stop it. I'm talking about serious matters with Ralph."

"I'm also listening seriously." Justin could not hold back, sucking on her neck.

Instantly, a bright hickey appeared on Bella's fair skin.

Her skin was just too fragile and smooth, much like a baby's.

Bella's breathing became erratic, and a soft moan escaped the depths of her throat.

"Hey! You two better pay attention to what you're doing. Don't make me listen to this nonsense!" Ralph was also a young, hot-blooded man who could not handle this.

They were comfortable going at it, but he did not even have a partner. Was that not torture for his body and mind?!

"Ralph, we'll do as Bella says," Justin said over the phone. "The person who murdered Charles is not simple. It might be the breakthrough we need to catch all the parties involved behind this." "Do you think I didn't think of that? It's not that easy."

Ralph's tone turned grim. "The murderer is cunning, choosing to act at the public bath because it is the only place without surveillance. cameras in jail. He was vicious and professional, using tools from the scene and leaving no evidence. The and water washed his fin The footprints away.

"The murderer might be an inmate, a guard, or even multiple perpetrators.

Bella raised her hand to hold off Justin's increasingly bold mouthn "Rather thag finding the murderer, the mere important part is their motive.

sentenced. He couldn't e from

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1432-"It couldn't be James." Justin decisively gave his analysis when Bella was confused, as if a strategist who served a queen.

"James had already achieved his aim, and there's no need for any extra action.

It's a huge risk to murder someone in jail. He had already suffered once due to his recklessness, so he wouldn't do it again." "Yeah, I agree." Bella nodded earnestly.

"Although there's no evidence, I think it feels like what Christopher would do.

Besides, with his power in Sentania and his secretly developed network in Savrow, it wouldn't be hard for him to hire someone to kill Charles in jail." Justin continued analyzing as he frowned.

"Yeah, that makes sense. When in doubt, suspect Christopher!" Bella pursed her lips, showing full agreement with his words.

Justin's rough fingers tipped Bella's chin up, his gaze doting and indulging.

"Now that you guys said so, I'm starting to suspect him too. I checked Charles' visiting records for the past few days this morning, and the last person to visit him was indeed Christopher!"

Ralph provided a piece of extremely important information, which made the couple's eyes light up.

"Ralph, doesn't the visiting room have a surveillance camera? Can you retrieve the footage for us to see?" Justin quickly asked.

"I can, but due to privacy protection principles, we only have video recordings without sound."

"Then we will hire a lip-reading specialist to decipher what Christopher and Charles talked about," Bella immediately suggested.

"That's my plan too, but it's a pity that we did not capture Christopher's face clearly on the video, only Charles. But we should still be able to get some useful information. Wait for my news. I'll get on it now!" After the call, Bella lowered her eyes, falling into silence.

"Bella, what is it? Are you in a bad mood?"

Justin placed his hand on her waist, lifting her onto his thigh, and let her lean sideways against him as he gently patted her back. "Originally, we hoped Charles would be sentenced to death and thought we needed to work more on it. Now, someone has saved the work for us. He died miserably. No matter what, it's not a bad thing."

"It's not bad, but…"

Bella furrowed her brows in exasperation. "What I wanted to see most was for Charles to be standing in court, accepting legal judgment in front of everyone. That would be a satisfactory ending for Rachel, Amelia, and all the other victims. Sigh. He got off too easily Justin's gaze darkened, and he lowered his head to kiss her earlobe.

Bella's ruthless side also hit the mark with him.

"Bella, your expectations for yourself and everything else are too high, so you feel disappointed when something doesn't go your way. But most things don't go as planned. You should only do your best, and the rest…"

"Let it be?" Bella murmured dejectedly.

"No. Leave it to me."

Justin's voice was low and soft, lingering around her ears gently. "Or you could just do nothing. I'm here, so you

can trust me to handle everything."

Bella felt a surge of warmth rush through her heart, making her feel cozy. She rubbed her headlagainst Justin'sichest, saying, "I know I can rely on you, but you know me. I'm a natural worrywart. If I don't do it myself and do it well, I will feel

uncomfortable."

"I understand. I'm also like this. These years, I personally handled all major and trivial matters in the Salvador Corporation. I won't.feebassured iti let someone else work on it." Justin sighed in understanding. "Your father is really something else! He couldn't find another president as outstanding and responsible as you anywhere, but he still doesn't appreciate you, picking on your faults every day!"

Bella blurted out her genuine thoughts and immediately felt as if she had misspoken, hurriedly covering her mouth.

Justin chuckled, took her hand away, and kissed her lips. "You said nothing wrong. Why are you panicking?"

"But he's still your father. You can talk ill about him, but it's different if I do."

"Bella, l've said that Gregory and I are only in a cooperative relationship lve got no family bond Withhim ahymore. In the whole Salvador family, the only people I care about are Grandpa and Carrie."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1433-"Then… How about your brother, who saved you?" Bella asked softly.

Justin's breath hitched.

Terrifying and traumatic memories from his youth surfaced in his mind again, vivid and clear.

"Although we have different mothers, Grant saved my life, which is undeniable. I will always owe him one."

Bella knew that Justin was a man who valued bonds and connections, which was a good thing, but it could occasionally hold him back.

"If your brother returns and fights to become the heir of the Salvador Corporation, will you step down for him?"

Justin chuckled. "Are you scared that I'll have to depend on you?"

"I kept thinking about this."

Bella blinked seriously, hooking her arms around his neck. "I'm a shallow person, only interested in fame and fortune. I can't be a housewife who takes care of her husband and children. I only want to dominate the business field and become a shining queen. Since I've involved myself in your life, I must take responsibility for you. Of course, I must know what you think to help you to the greatest extent." Justin immediately felt a lump form in his throat.

Bella was a phoenix who was willing to stay grounded for him, willingly becoming the nameless woman behind him for three years.

He owed her too much.

"Looking at the chaos caused by your brother, he doesn't seem to be the type of person who doesn't care about fame and fortune. He just couldn't show himself due to health issues. But what if he recovers one day? He is the eldest son, and he's capable. He also has close ties to the Reeds in Meridan. With such a wide net cast and so much preparation work done, I don't believe that he wouldn't compete." Justin frowned and said, "My brother's health is not looking good. He has been wheelchair-bound for many years."

"Did the kidnapping cause his legs to be disabled?"

Justin shook his head, taking a deep breath. "He was too young and stuck in a narrow container for too long, causing organ failure due to the lack of oxygen.

As a result, his body is extremely weak now. Not only does he need to take long-term medication and oxygen therapy, he also needs a wheelchair when he goes out and can't stand for too long."

"He sounds so fragile."

Bella had a dazed expression but let out a sigh of relief. "This type of organ damage is the most severe. If so, he probably can't compete with you."

Sweene "You're still thinking about this?" Justin smiled bitterly, his brows furrowed. "Sigh.

Forget it."

Bella narrowed her eyes, raised her hand, and patted his well-defined face. "So what if he tries to compete? Grandpa Nigel supports you, and you have my full support too. After all, you've climbed the ladder and clung to a powerhouse like the Thompson family. My dear Mr. Salvador, your good days are yet to come."

Justin's lips curled up in a pleased.

smile. He suddenly pressed Bellan dawn opithe sofa, teasing her with his warm breath and seductive gaze.

"My queen, please take me under your wing."

The night grew darker.

A Rolls-Royce stopped at the police station near the east district.

Not long after, Ralph hurriedly came out of the gate and got into Bella's car.

Justin and lan were in the car too.

They stared straight at Balph, Waiting for his news

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1434-"Look at this video first."

Ralph took out an iPad and played the full video of Christopher visiting Charles in jail.

Bella inched closer, asking in confusion, "What did he ask Charles to sign?"

"I've asked my colleagues in the technical department to analyze it. It's a share transfer agreement," Ralph replied grimly.

The three other people were stunned.

"This… How is it possible?"

lan spoke first. "Shares represent their place and importance in the Iverson Group. Even if Charles could never leave jail for the rest of his life, he hates Christopher to the core. There's no way Charles would transfer shares to Christopher!"

"I've also hired lip-reading professionals to interpret their conversation. The gist is that Christopher should have told Charles that his current predicament was all thanks to James. If he transferred the shares to him, he could find a way to bail him out. Something like that."

Bella and Justin said simultaneously, "Idiot!"

"I thought so too. Christopher finally got rid of a major obstacle to his rise to power. How could he let him out? Charles should have used his rusty brain."

Ralph tutted and shook his head.

lan mocked angrily, "Hmph! A monster like him should have his brain eaten by a dog. He's better off dead. Having him alive is a waste of oxygen!"

"After getting Charles' shares, Christopher should have been satisfied. Is there a need to kill him?" Looking at Bella's heavy expression, Justin felt a little lost.

"If it were a normal person, they would've been satisfied. But to someone as vindictive and ruthless as Christopher, getting his shares was far from enough."

Bella clenched her fists tightly. "What he really wanted was for Charles to die.

Now that Charles is dead, his next target must be James."

"But even so, doesn't his actions seem too rushed?"

Justin had a keen intuition, which always made him the first to notice something amiss. "It's like if he didn't act now, Charles would be released…"

Ralph glanced at Justin, raising his brows slightly. "Christopher indeed gave Charles some so-called evidence, saying it could help him flip his case.

Because of this, Charles signed the share transe.ne agreement. After all, Charles first priority is to clear his name and get out of jail.

Otherwise, no amount of money would matter to him."

He could not help but secretly admire his meticulous brother-in-law. Justin had good potential to be a police officer too.

snet However, Ralph did not want to praise Justin, fearing that he would get conceited.

lan was enlightened. "So Christopher was in a hurry to murder Charles. On one hand, he wanted to exact revenge. He also can't let Charles get out of jail."

Bella said, "How about the stuff Christopher gave him?"

"It's no longer there. We were a step too late.". Ralph sighed in frustration.

too late." Ralph sighedid frusiration.

Just as the silence grew heavy, Bella's phone rang.

It was Sasha.

"Aunt Sasha, what's the matter?"

"Bella! Are you in saw m & Chill tone was extremely anxious.

"Yes. What's up?"

"Where's Justin? Is he with you?!"

"Not just Justin. Ralph is here too."

Bella was more puzzled. "Aunt Sasha, did anything happen at home? What's going on? Don't scare me." Justin did not know what itwas, but he inimediately tightened his hold on Bella's waist, being on high alert.

"That man you mentioned to me before, the man called Maxwell… He appeared!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1435-After several days, Maxwell finally could not bear to stay hidden anymore and showed himself.

However, Bella did not expect that the person to bring her this news was not Asher or Ryan, but Sasha!

Justin also realized at this moment why Sasha immediately asked if he was with Bella.

It was because she understood Bella's temper.

If Bella knew that Maxwell had appeared, she would definitely throw everything aside to rush after him recklessly, trying to capture him. No one could stop her.

How could no one be by her side to protect her? "Aunt Sasha! How did you

know it?! Who gave you the information?!" Bella's heart raced with excitement.

She was shocked.

"It's Elias, my father's godson!"

Justin looked confused, asking Bella in a low voice, "Elias is…"

Bella's eyes lit up, passionately introducing to Justin, "It's the man who force-fed Hunter shit. Technically, I should call him my uncle."

Justin was enlightened. Elias was indeed a great talent!

"I asked him to gather all his men and distribute Maxwell's photo, secretly searching for Maxwell's whereabouts in the underground world."

Sasha's voice trembled from excitement. "I just wanted to try my luck. Who would have thought that we'd really find him?!"

When she was at home, Bella mentioned this matter to Mila and Sasha. Sasha showed interest and asked detailed questions, even asking for Maxwell's photo.

At that time, Bella thought Sasha was merely curious, but unexpectedly, Sasha immediately acted upon it, asking her connections to look around, and they actually found him!

"Aunt Sasha, where did they see Maxwell? Where is he now? They didn't lose him, did they?!" Bella questioned her anxiously, grasping Justin's hand tightly.

"Maxwell went to Savrow's underground black market with a few of his lackeys to buy some smuggled gold watches and chains. Elias didn't get to investigate the specifics." Savrow's underground black market?

Bella could be considered a wild one among the younger generation of wealthy families, but she had never heard of such a place.

Even Justin, as a Savrow local, had never heard of it.

"Yes. Maxwell is wanted internationally now. The Salvadors, Hoffmans, and the police are all looking for him. He's like a rat that could only hide in the sewers.

Except for that kind of place, where else could he go?"

Ralph could not help exclaiming, "The Southern Star Syndicate is indeed the biggest gang in Savrow. They're like the underground information network themselves!"

Justin pursed his thin lips, feeling deeply ashamed apart from the admiration.

He and Ryan had been tracking Maxwell for days and almost caught him once, but Maxwell still got away in the end, even causing them heavy losses.

In the end, it was still Bella's family who helped her.

Bella was strong enough on her own, yet she had a billionaire father, talented brothers, a First Lady sister, and the heiress of the Southern Star Syndicate supporting her. It only made her even more powerful.

They really left no room for him to shine.

"Maxwell took the risk to buy these stuff in the black market because he wanted to convert his money into valuable commodities. He might be planning to escape soon!"

Bella felt a fire burning in her heart, and even her voice sounded urgent. "Aunt Sasha, please inform Uncle Elias immediately…"

"Uncle Elias? How is he your uncle?

He doesn't deserve it! Just call him Elias!" Sasha treated Bell a like aM pringessif Elias became the head of the Southern Star Syndicate, he still could not claim any familial ties with Bella.

Bella did not care about it and only focused on making plans. "Please inform him right away not to alarm Maxwell, and don't even think about confronting him directly because he has the advantage in numbers Maxwell's men are all mercenaries who kill without blinking an eye, and they have heavy firearms. The Hoffman family had already suffered a major loss. You can't let your people dig their own graves!"

"I understand! Elias is not reckless. He knows his limits."

Sasha quickly agreed. "I'll ask him to follow Maxwelt closely now and contact you immediately once there are updates! Oh, let yustin, Ryan, and Ralph handle this. Don't get carried away and rush there yourself! We're getting old, and our hearts are weak.

Your dad even has a cerebral infarction. You'd better stay put at home if you don't want to see us dead!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1436-Suddenly, Sasha shouted again, "Did you hear me, Justin?"

Justin hastily sat up straight and responded, "Yes, I'm right here!"

"You need to control Bella. Don't let her act recklessly!"

Although Sasha still sounded annoyed, her words carried evident concern. "If something happens to Bella, the Southern Star Syndicate will not spare you!"

Bella sighed silently, rubbing her temples. 'What a domineering lady boss from the Southern Star Syndicate, asserting her authority!' Ralph chuckled and shook his head, while lan truly feared for his boss's life.

Justin's large hand wrapped around Bella's waist, his grip tightening around her protectively.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll protect Bella with everything I've got. Please believe in me."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car grew quiet.

'M-Mom?' Even Bella, who usually only called her Aunt Sasha, was surprised that Justin suddenly referred to her as "Mom"!

Justin took an undue advantage and pretended to be clever.

The phone suddenly went silent on the other end, then Sasha yelled, "You little brat! Who do you think you are to call me that? Get lost!"

That night, Maxwell had made up his mind to leave Savrow. Before leaving, he had to exchange the local currency he had for gold. After all, those banknotes would be worthless once he left the country. However, gold was universally valuable.

As he left the black market contentedly, ready to go to the designated location to collect the money, he received a call from Christopher.

"Don't come over yet. I've already moved the money somewhere else."

"You bastard! Christopher, are you messing with me?! Did you actually prepare the money?!" Maxwell completely lost his patience and cursed loudly.

"Pfft, messing with you?"

Christopher let out a chilling laugh. "Do you think I'd bother with such a paltry sum? How much money have you earned from me over the years? Don't you have a rough idea of it? It's definitely more than this."

Through gritted teeth, Maxwell asked, "Why did you change the location then?"

"You've been followed."

"What?! How is that possible?!"

"They have been watching you since you were at the black market. You thought you could hide there without anyone noticing you. But the black market is full of gang members. Ms. Thompson's family has ties to the Southern Star Syndicate, the largest gang in Savrow. The members of that gang have spotted you. Do you think you can still hide your whereabouts?"

As a foreigner, Maxwell naturally had no idea about the extent of the Southern Star Syndicate's underground power in Savrow.

They were everywhere, infiltrating every corner of the city.

"Damn it… I couldn't care less about any gang. Not even the Hoffmans' associates are worth my attention. If they trufyi have a death wish, they can come at me then!" Maxwell's expression was ferocious. "Well, it seems to me that you really don't want to leave." The content is on.

Christopher's tone turned as cold and hard as if he had placed a sharp knife at Maxwell's throat. "You're now an internationally wanted

criminal, and I'm sure the authorities have already traced your whereabouts lydu don't do as I say, CO I you Might end up in a lifetime of misery for being arrogant."

Maxwell had had enough of Christopher's control over him.

However, he was helpless in a foreign hot to get hinger dukot the coun Yet he.could not help but retort, "Hmph! You better not try anything funny!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1437-"If I get caught, I'll expose all the dirty deeds you've done over the years! I'll make Ms. Thompson see the true colors of her childhood sweetheart. She'll see what kind of person you are!" Christopher's lips curled up in a silent, mocking smile, as cold as frost. 'Go ahead. Go ahead and tell them everything. Well, that's if you still have the chance to do so.' "So, how are you planning to hand me the money?" Maxwell's entire being hung on the fate of his finances.

"Just follow the route I've instructed you to take. I'll arrange for someone to cover for you to help you escape smoothly. As for the money, I'll place it on the plane. Once you've escaped, board quickly, and the plane will depart immediately. You'll be able to leave Savrow successfully then."

After receiving instructions from Bella, Sasha repeatedly warned Elias not to act recklessly and confront Maxwell. If he refused to comply, she would threaten to block all contact with him.

This statement had a powerful impact on the arrogant patriarch, who remained oblivious to his limitations.

As soon as Bella and Justin received the information, they immediately contacted Ryan and Asher. The police also deployed personnel to track down Maxwell and his associates along the route provided by Elias.

However, just as they rushed toward the direction Maxwell was fleeing, they received a call from Ryan that they had lost the target.

"Escaped?! How is that possible?!"

Bella was furious, and her eyes widened in frustration. She pounded her fist fiercely against the car window. The dull thud made Justin worry she might hurt her hand.

"Ryan, what happened?"

Justin's warm and large hand enveloped Bella's trembling, red fist as his brows furrowed deeply.

"We had multiple parties involved in this operation, forming almost an impenetrable net. How could he possibly have escaped?"

Ryan's strained voice revealed his anxiety. "We were tailing him closely the entire way, but as we passed through an underground tunnel, our cars were blocked by several vehicles at the tunnel entrance." Bella and Justin exchanged a knowing glance, understanding the situation immediately.

It was likely Christopher, who had received advance notice and sent reinforcements.

"That cunning snake! Christopher truly has a far-reaching network!" Bella's eyes blazed with hatred as her frustration boiled over.

Bella despised Christopher for his lack of moral compass and for associating with villains.

She also loathed how he always managed to disrupt things at the most crucial moments, yet always emerged victorious every time.

How could someone as proud as her accept defeat?

It was not just a battle between good and evil but also a contest between her and Christopher.

Bella silently vowed to capture Christopher alive, expose his crimes, tear off his mask, and subject him to justice.

"Then, we managed to break through the blockade and go through the tunnel.

But when we intercepted the car, we found that Maxwell wasn't in it!"

"It means someone in the tunnel aided Maxwell, facilitating his escape by swapping vehicles!"

Bella's gaze turned icy, her presence Ret

commanding, as if she were a female commander holding the reins in a central command room 'Contactl Ralph name Have him retrieve the surveillance footage from the tunnel entrance. Track down every vehicle that left the tunnel during that time period!"

"Bella, although Maxwell has fel

temporarily escaped, Savrow is now under our tight surveillance. He only has one option, which (9 todepart"

tonight.)Ne has lo head out of Savrow as fast as possible." Justin's eyes blazed with determination, and his voice was cold. Content belongs .

"Yes! He must be heading toward the airport!"

"Tell the police to seal off the airport now! Also, track down every vehicle exiting the tunnel and heading toward the airport. Maxwell must be among them!"

Bella tightened her grip on her partner's hand, her hear pounding like a druin against her chest.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1438-Late at night, at Savrow International Airport.

Under the calm atmosphere, a storm was brewing, with multiple crises looming.

Ralph had obtained an arrest warrant and joined forces with the customs department to hunt down Maxwell. They implemented stringent surveillance protocols to avoid causing public panic or disrupting flight operations.

Once Maxwell appeared, they were to capture him on the spot.

Throughout the airport, police officers in disguise were strategically stationed, complemented by personnel from the Thompsons and Hoffmans beyond customs.

Tonight, the airport had become a meticulously woven trap awaiting Maxwell's arrival.

As time ticked away, Asher, Ralph, and Ryan stood vigilantly in the control room, their eyes fixed on numerous surveillance screens. Despite the tension and their strained eyes, they dared not relax. "Mr. Asher, Captain Ralph, do you think…"

Sensing the oppressive atmosphere, Ryan coughed lightly and asked, "Do you think it's possible that Maxwell has been missing for so long because he underwent plastic surgery? By now, he must've fully recovered. If he were to show up with a brand-new face right under our noses, we wouldn't recognize him, right?"

Asher stared coldly at the screen, too engrossed to hear what Ryan was saying.

Out of politeness, Ralph glanced at Ryan and replied to him. After all, Ryan had worked hard to help out in this matter. "If he underwent plastic surgery, then how did he get noticed by the members of the Southern Star Syndicate?"

Ryan blinked his charming eyes and suddenly felt enlightened. "Ah… That makes sense! Haha!"

Ralph was at a loss for words. 'They say friends are supposed to complement each other. Did Justin make friends with Ryan to highlight his intelligence and wit?' "Wait a second. Zoom in on the center screen!" Asher commanded, his gaze fixed on the monitors, his muscular arms suddenly grasping the table's edge.

The police officer promptly complied, opening up the central screen.

The next second, all three of them were stunned.

Suddenly, a strong, icy pressure filled the entire control room.

To their astonishment, the person on the screen was none other than Christopher. He was pushing a wheelchair with his mother seated in it, accompanied by his secretary, Taylor, and two bodyguards. "Christopher?! How dare he show up here?!" Ryan erupted in fury, slamming his fist onto the table.

"Christopher's private jet is here. It's very likely that Maxwell is boarding his private jet to leave Savrow."

Asher's expression was frosty as he stared coldly at the screen. "For him to appear at this moment with his mother, he's probably trying to divert our attention, using his identity to cover for Maxwell." Ralph nodded gravely. "I agree. It's too coincidental. He must've planned this!"

"Damn it… Judging by how he's rushing into our trap like this, Christopher is practically begging for trouble!" Ryan's narrowed eyes seemed to emit sparks of anger.

Despite the tense situation, his sudden witty remark brought a faint smile to the Thompson brothers' faces.

"Anyway, from now on, we must thoroughly monitor every corner of the airport.

We must also watch Christopher closely. If necessary, he cannot leave the airport." Asher declared, his brows furrowed and his eyes shining with a cold glint.

Christopher smoothly passed through customs, pushing his mother in a wheelchair. His secretary walked with them as they made their way toward his private jet.

"Chris… Where are we going?" Mrs. Iverson looked up at her son, her expression innocent and childlike, not befitting her age.

"Mom, you've been cooped up at home for too long. I'm taking you out to relax."

Christopher's deep, slightly upturned eyes brimmed with gentle warmth. Suddenly, he stopped and approached his mother. Kneeling beside her, he carefully arranged the fluffy blanket over her knees. "We'll go wherever you want to go. I'll always be by your side."

"Chris, haven't you always told me you want to go on a graduation trip with Bella? Haven't you said your biggest wishes to be with Bella? Bringing me along would be burdensome for you. Why don't you go with Bella? She hasn't visited our home in a long time. You should make more plans with her when you're free.

I'll make some delicious food for you guys. I remember that she likes chocolate and cake… I'll make them for you. When the time comes, don't tell her I made them. Just tell her that you made them yourself. Bella will surely feel touched and delighted…"

Upon mentioning Bella, Mrs. Iverson's eyes lit up slightly.

"Mom, thank you for thinking of me. I'm also glad that you're fond of Bella."

Christopher raised his trembling hand and gently stroked his mother's thin, frail cheeks, tears glistening in his eyes as he forced a radiant smile. "But this time, I can't persuade Bella to join me. I'm sorry for disappointing you."

"Chris, what are you talking about?"

Upon seeing her son's distressed expression, Mrs. Iverson's hands fluttered anxiously in the air like a clueless child. "I'm not disappointed. I'm simply concerned that you won't find happiness. It's alright. There's plenty of time ahead. Just try to spend more time with Bella in the future. Eventually, she'll recognize your efforts and surely fall for you!"

Christopher nodded gently, flashing a smile. However, he felt like his heart was boiling in hot oil.

Over time, Mrs. Iverson's mind became muddled, and her memory and bodily functions were gradually deteriorating.

She thought that Christopher was still in high school or college.

Sometimes, she even saw him as a child, playing happily at her feet.

Unfortunately, she had completely forgotten what her son looked like.

"Mom, since you adore Bella that much, I'll make sure she falls in love with me.

I'll work hard and make her your daughter-in-law." Before Christopher could finish his sentence, a cold voice pierced through his heart from behind.

"Christopher."

It was Bella's voice!

How could he not recognize the woman who haunted his dreams?

Christopher could not contain his joy as he turned around immediately. l However his expression quickly darkened in the next moment.

He turned to see Bella and Justin standing side by side before him, their expressions frosty, emanating palpable hostility.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1439-The chilly night breeze carried an ominous tension, swirling between them like a looming threat.Upon seeing Justin's arrival, Christopher's expression shifted dramatically from joy to solemnity."Bella, you're here?" Mrs. Iverson's eyes lit up with tender affection, wishing she could rise from her wheelchair to greet her.Bella's remarkable beauty has always left a lasting impression on Mrs. Iverson, even to the point where she sometimes struggled to recognize her own son but never failed to identify Bella instantly. Mrs. Iverson genuinely cherished Bella, unable to conceal her affection."Hello, Mrs. Iverson," Bella greeted politely, bowing respectfully.Justin stood by Bella's side, encircling his arm around her waist, his gaze sharp and unwavering as he observed Christopher's every move."Bella, who is this?" Mrs. Iverson looked puzzled, glancing uncertainly at Justin's impassive face and instinctively reaching for Christopher's sleeve.Bella was about to speak, her gaze fixed on her partner's handsome side profile.But before she could, Christopher adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "Bella, what a coincidence to run into you here. Are you going on a trip, too?"Throughout the interaction, he engaged solely with Bella, completely disregarding Justin's presence."Christopher, do you think I'd be in the mood for a vacation?"Bella's eyes glinted sharply, her voice carrying a frosty tone, refusing to entertain Christopher even in front of Mrs. Iverson."You know perfectly well the extent of the schemes you've orchestrated and the bloodshed you caused. With Maxwell still roaming freely and my brother and Justin's vendetta unresolved, how can I find any enjoyment if you remain untouched?"Justin's thin lips slightly quivered as he gazed into his partner's starry eyes, brimming with love as radiant as starlight."Chris... What is Bella talking about? What bloodshed? I don't understand," Mrs.Iverson asked, her eyes filled with confusion."It's normal that you don't understand, because I don't either."Christopher gently comforted his mother, his hands lightly rubbing her shoulders. His exquisitely sculpted features gave no hint of his sinister nature."Bella, who is this Maxwell guy? And what happened to you brother and Mr.Salvador? Is there anything I can do to help them?"A raging inferno surged within Justin's chest, his deep-set eyes like tumultuous waves.The brutal images of their near-death experience on South Island, when they were trying to capture Winston, remained vivid in his mind.Yet, here was Christopher, the mastermind behind it all, shamelessly portraying himself as an innocent person and offering him his assistance. Assistance in meeting a swift demise?Bella felt the hand supporting her waist tremble with tension. She felt him struggling to suppress his anger.Her heart felt heavy with the desire to vent her frustrations for him, her brother, sister, and her brother-in-law, who were far away in Sentania.However, this was not the right time. Indulging in momentary verbal satisfaction was meaningless.She wanted Christopher to pay a heavy price for his actions and for him to repent."Chris... I feel a bit cold. Can we leave now?" Mrs. Iverson's frail body curled slightly as she asked cautiously.Over the years, her son sheltered her indoors, making her delicate and sensitive to the slightest chill. Though it was almost fall, the temperature in Savrow was still far from cold, whether it was during the day or night."Sure, Mom. I'll take you to the plane now."As Christopher was about to lead his mother toward the gateway, Justin's voice cut in abruptly, chilled to the bone. "Mr. Iverson, I regret to inform you that your plane might not be able to take off from here tonight. You won't be going anywhere."However, Christopher seemed oblivious to Justin's words, continuing to walk toward his private jet."Christopher," Justin's gaze darkened significantly, emanating a pressure that seemed to freeze the atmosphere."Didn't you hear that my mother's feeling cold?" Christopher retorted, glaring at Justin."Suspect? How absurd."

that of a snake poised to strike at any moment. "Besides, who are you to they can bring an arrest warrant, and I'll cooperate with any investigation.

Otherwise, no one can stop me."

Bella sneered, her lips curling into a mocking smile. "If there were any suspicions, we wouldr Dhave Come to,see you, Pet'alone try to stop you.

Christopher, you're the mastermind behind it all. I won't believe a thing you say."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1440-The word "we" marked an unbridgeable gap between Christopher and the couple. It was a barrier that he could never overcome.

Even so, Christopher's gaze on Bella still held deep affection.

His obsessive love had turned him into a shameless lunatic.

"Bella, you've misunderstood me. But since you suspect me, I'm willing to cooperate with you fully."

As Christopher spoke, he leaned down to hold his mother's hand, gently caressing it. "Mom, I'm sorry… I'm afraid I can't accompany you on the trip."

"It's alright. I'm fine…"

Mrs. Iverson's worried gaze turned to Bella, her eyes brimming with tears as she spoke, "Bella, don't be mad at Chris! If he has upset you, I… I apologize on his behalf!"

Bella's heart clenched, "Mrs. Iverson, please don't say that…"

Although Christopher was incorrigible and cunning, Mrs. Iverson was a pitiful woman, suffering from a serious illness. Bella did not want to engage in a fierce conflict with Christopher in front of her.

After all, this woman, abandoned and exiled by her husband for fifteen years, had only Christopher as her hope.

Bella did not want to extinguish the flicker of hope that kept her going.

After witnessing the touching scene between the mother and son, Justin's eyes dimmed, and his heart ached. Yes, he bitterly envied them.

Justin could not comprehend why Christopher, despite having precious loved ones by his side, especially his mother, who cared for him so deeply, would ultimately choose such a dark path. Why was Christopher so shady? Content What Christopher recklessly squandered was something Justin could only dream of. The more Justin thought about it, the more unforgivable Christopher's act seemed.

"Bella, please… No matter what, please don't be mad at Chris. Don't ignore him, okay?" Mrs. Iverson's words became increasingly unclear as her sickness relapsed. Upon seeing his mother's condition, Christopher felt deeply concerned and immediately ordered his secretary, "Taylor, go get the medicine."

"Yes, Mr. Iverson!"

"Bella, no matter how much you doubt me or use any harsh words on me, I won't hold it against you. Because you, like my mother, are the people I care about the most."

Christopher pleaded, looking at her with a pained expression. "But if things don't turn out as you wish, and if you wrongly accuse me of something, how would you make it up to me, Bella?"

Bella furrowed her brows tightly, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness. 'Why is he so calm? Is it because he's internally strong and fearless, or… Does he have another trick up his sleeves?!' Suddenly, urgent calls from Asher and Ralph echoed, "Bella!" Immediately after, Ryan's voice followed suit. "Justin!"

The young couple turned to respond in unison. "Asher! Ralph!"

At that exact moment, Christopher's lips curled into a subtle smirk.

Asher's gaze turned sharp, concealing anger as he fixed his eyes on this deceitful man.

Ralph's demeanor grew somber as he lowered his voice, "Just now, a helicopter took off from the Mount Jaglee National Forest Park in Savrow."
