Ch. 1441..1450

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1441-"Just as it was about to leave Savrow and reach the airspace bordering Hatchbay, it exploded!"

"It exploded?!" Bella and Justin's brows furrowed deeply.

"Yes, residents within a dozen kilometers of the area heard a massive explosion."

Ralph took a sharp breath. "The explosion destroyed the helicopter instantly. It seems there are no survivors!"

Justin's heart sank, and his sharp, eagle-like gaze suddenly turned to Christopher.

Immediately after they discovered Maxwell's whereabouts, people went after them to prevent them from stopping Maxwell. Then, Christopher, the troublemaker, appeared again, and the helicopter exploded. It all seemed interconnected, as if Christopher was pulling the strings!

"No survivors… Can we identify the helicopter's owner, then? What about the number of passengers and their identities?" Bella's breath quickened as she inquired.

Ralph turned to her, his head close to hers as he said, "I've dispatched my subordinates to look up the helicopter's details and collected surveillance footage along the route and nearby areas. We should have answers soon."

"I think it's probably just Maxwell."

Justin's handsome face was as frosty as ever, and his voice was strained and hoarse. "Christopher is trying to mess with us. First, with a diversion, and now with this attack! He anticipated from the start that we would discover his purchase of a private jet and use the plane to send Maxwell away. So, his sudden appearance at the airport was to draw attention to himself and provide cover for Maxwell. In fact, he never intended for Maxwell to leave Savrow in his private jet."

"Damn it! This sneaky bastard!" Ryan cursed loudly, hoping Christopher heard it loud and clear.

"N-No."

Bella shut her reddened eyes, anger surging in her chest. "He never intended to let Maxwell leave Savrow ative from the beginning! I'm not mistaken, he originally intended to transport Maxwell.net with this private jet. However, we found out about the plane, and Maxwell's whereabouts were exposed, so he prepared another helicopter for them to disappear without a trace!"

The atmosphere fell into a suffocating silence.

This time, they had no choice but to admit that it took constant vigilance to stave off evil.

"Captain Thompson, if you don't need me for the investigation, can I leave now?"

Christopher adjusted his glasses, his cold gaze carrying a hint of amusement.

Rather than wasting time on me, I believe it's better for all if you hurry up and figure out how to deal with the troubles ahead. By now, the news about tonight's helicopter explosion must've flooded the internet. Captain Thompson, shouldn't you contact the station to control public opinion on the matter?"

Seeing Christopher's brazen attitude, Ralph clenched his teeth with an audible grind.

Christopher gave Bella one last meaningful glance before turning to push his mother's wheelchair toward the air bridge.

Just as they were boarding, Ralph received a message from his subordinate.

[We can almost confirm that Maxwell and his associates were on that helicopter. Cameras along the route captured their whereabouts We have dispatched additional personnel to help out. Our team is currently searching for the wreckage near the explosion scene, and we may receive further updates later.] Before Ralph could finish his sentence, Bella suddenly turned around.

Despite Justin's attempt to grab hold of her, he was a step too late. "Bella!

Where are you going?!"

"Bella! Come back!"

However, Bella did not look back. Instead, she hastened toward Christopher's private jet.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1442-Shortly after boarding the plane, Mrs. Iverson began to feel weak, so Christopher helped her to the bed.

As soon as he emerged from the inner room, he saw Bella. She was exuding a chilling aura, her eyes burning with anger, and her captivating face flushed with fury.

"M-Mr. Iverson…" Taylor, Christopher's secretary, stood nervously behind Bella, wearing a deeply troubled expression.

She was the woman Christopher held dear, so even if she wanted to blow up the plane, Taylor dared not intervene.

In an instant, the dark look in Christopher's eyes dissipated, and his lips curled into a gentle smile.

He was about to approach Bella when she strode swiftly to stand before him.

Bella seized the lapels of his suit with both hands, channeling her resentment into strength, and forcefully pressed him against the cabin door with a loud thud.

ClinkThe exquisite and expensive crystal glass on the table fell and tumbled to the ground, creating a mess beneath their feet.

"Mr. Iverson, Ms. Thompson, let's talk things out properly!" Taylor remained rooted to his spot, flustered but hesitant to intervene. Christopher met Bella's crimson gaze. His lips curled into a gentle smile as he calmly raised a hand to signal Taylor not to approach. "It was you, wasn't it, Christopher?"

Their eyes locked in an intense gaze, with fiery anger burning in Bella's eyes as she gripped his stiff collar, her hand trembling uncontrollably. "You've slipped through my fingers once again, achieving your goal. You must be feeling quite smug and satisfied, aren't you?"

"Bella, I really have no idea what you're talking about."

Christopher's expression remained unchanged as he gazed at Bella with eyes filled with almost obsessive affection, bordering on insatiable greed. "Well, regardless, I'm very pleased to have the chance to be this close to you and see you again. Bella, you've lost weight. Was Justin not taking care of you? Does he truly love you?"

"Christopher, what right do you have to say such things? You mentioning Justin's name is nothing short of an insult to him." Bella's veins on her temples bulged, twitching involuntarily.

Christopher felt a sharp pain in his heart, the agony evident on his face. "So, you genuinely love him, just like how I love you."

"Don't mention the word 'love' to me. Your love is too disgusting!"

Bella interrupted with a look of disgust. "Is that what you call love? Your love is about ruthlessly hurting my loved ones and eliminating anyone who opposes you or stands in your way. Christopher, what turned you into a heartless monster who kills without even thinking twice? You weren't like this before!"

The man before her, with a face as beautiful as an angel, suddenly stared at her intently and burst into laughter.

He thought, 'Yes, Bella, what turned me into this? You were so lovely and lively when you were younger. But I can't remember what kind of person I was in front of you back then. Bella, what have I done wrong? No matter how I've changed, I'm still me. I'm still the one who loves you the most.' "I don't think I've done anything wrong. Everyone has their way of loving someone, and I'm just loving you in my own way."

Bella could not bear to hear the word "love" coming from Christopher's mouth at sent shivers down her spine. "What will it take for you to stop your madness? What will make you stop?"

“Leave Justin and be with me." Christopher's voice softened with emotion as he gazed at her affectionately.

It was not about bargaining anymore. It was almost like Christopher was confessing to Bella.

"Hmph! Don't even dream about it." Bella retorted, each word dripping with defiance as if flames were coursing through her veins.

"Someday we'll be together, Bella. Someday…" Christopher chuckled softly, seemingly unfazed by her cold demeanor.

He was stubborn and unapologetic, beyond redemption.

Bella abruptly released his collar, took two steps back, and distanced herself from him. "Christopher, let me be clear with you. You've crossed the line with me, so you're now my top enemy. I won't let you off the hook, not ever. You wanted compensation, right? If my compensation means sending you straight to hell, would you still want it?"

With those resolute words, Bella turned and swiftly left the scene.

Taylor witnessed the entire ordeal, frozen in shock and too terrified to even breathe.

Christopher clutched his aching chest, gasping for air as he weakly sat on the chair, tremblingly extending his left arm toward Taylor. "Yes! I'll bring it right away!"

Taylor immediately retrieved a medical steel box, took out a syringe, and skillfully injected a dose of medication into Christopher's vein.

Soon, Christopher's trembling subsided, and the temporary numbness brought him some relief, alleviating the pain in his heart.

He thought, 'Bella, please continue to torment me relentlessly. This is the entire meaning of my existence.' Just as the plane was about to take off, Christopher's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, he promptly answered.

"Sir."

"The fireworks over Savrow tonight were quite impressive. I enjoyed them very much." The man's voice on the other end was low and pleasant. "I'm glad you enjoyed them," Christopher responded respectfully.

"However, it's a pity."

"It's not a pity. Whether it's the $100 million or the plane, they're all sacrifices to me."

The man chuckled. "What I truly

lament is Ms. Thompson. She's such a proud and competitig, person.! Yet she still fell shoff by just one move.

and lost to you in the end."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1443-On the way back from the airport, Bella stared silently at the scattered neon lights outside the window, not uttering a word to Justin.

Sensing her emotions, Justin gave her the space to process, yet his grip on her icy hand remained steadfast.

His gaze remained fixed on her pale but beautiful profile, filled with concern.

Just like this, the couple returned home amidst the oppressive atmosphere.

As they walked into their house, Bella received a call from Ralph.

"Bella, the identities of the victims are confirmed to be Maxwell and his associates."

Bella closed her eyes, her teeth biting down hard on her lip, blood seeping out.

Justin's eyes were bloodshot and dark. He was almost unable to breathe after seeing her struggle so intensely.

"The forensic team conducted a thorough search near the explosion site and found their two passports, along with some items that could confirm their identities as citizens of Terranova. Along with the surveillance footage along the route, it's almost certain it's them."

Seeing Bella's continued silence, Ralph hurriedly comforted her. "Bella, don't be too upset. None of those people are good people. They're all ruthless criminals in Terranova. Maxwell has committed many crimes in his country. He's a real villain and deserves to die. We're still looking for the black box on the helicopter.

But we can't rule out the possibility of foul play in this explosion. Fortunately, there were no other additional casualties. So, Bella, don't get yourself too worked up. Just leave the rest to us."

Bella's dry lips trembled as she struggled to speak, "I understand. It's just…"

"You felt frustrated and defeated because we didn't manage to catch Christopher. Even though Maxwell is gone, the mastermind behind him is still lurking under your nose. Others may not understand your feeling of powerlessness, but as a police officer, why'd you think I wouldn't know how you're feeling?"

Ralph gently comforted Bella. His usually fiery and impulsive demeanor was replaced with patience for his beloved sister. "But Bella, defeat is inevitable. Setbacks are common in warfare. If you succumb to self-doubt and negativity after a momentary loss, then you're truly defeated by the enemy. All your previous efforts will be in vain, then.

"If you want to achieve ultimate victory, you need an indomitable fighting spirit!

Bella, we haven't been defeated yet. Capturing him is only a matter of time. In my many years as a cop, I've brought even the most elusive serial killers to justice. I've never encountered a case that I couldn't crack. Remember, where there's a will, there's a way!"

Where there's a will, there's a way.

The Thompsons never believed in fate and never surrendered.

"Thanks for comforting me, Ralph… Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

After hanging up the phone, Bella, who had been trying to hold her emotions in check, finally broke down. She threw herself into Justin's arms, crying uncontrollably like a complete mess.

It felt like the impregnable fortress in her heart crumbled instantly before the man she loved most.

Justin held her tightly around the waist with his left arm, his right hand

gently stroking her trembling back as his quivering lips brushed against her ear, softly murmuring, My dear Bella, ofy as much as you need to. Just don't bottle up your emotions. It only hurt you." The content is on.

"Why am I so stupid?" Bella gripped his shirt, unable to resist condemning herself.

"Silly girl, if you're stupid, then I'm nothing more than a pig."

"See… Even you think that I'm silly…" The petite woman cried even harder.

Justin looked remorseful, wanting to slap himself for saying that.

"Alright… I know what you re to 114, say. Ill be fine after orDit all Out…SKarch the FindNovel.net website on Googli to access chaptersco novels early and in the highest quality.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1444-Bella's tear-streaked face nuzzled against Justin's chest once more. When she looked up, the man's sturdy chest muscles beneath his shirt were faintly visible, presenting a seductive sight before her. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she sniffled a few times, rubbing her palms against the areas where her tears had dampened his shirt.

Her adorable demeanor stirred warmth in Justin's heart and set it abuzz.

But tonight, he decided he would not do anything with her. He wished for her to find solace in his embrace and rest peacefully.

"You haven't eaten anything all night, have you? You must be hungry. Let me whip up something for you," Justin said tenderly, wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. "Mmm… But you haven't eaten either. Let me do it. You always take a long time to cook. We'll end up having a midnight feast if you do it," Bella sniffed, her nose reddened from crying.

Justin chuckled softly. "I'll ask Wilma to prepare something for us then."

"It's late. Just let me take care of it."

"In that case, let's do it together."

Bella's heart warmed at his suggestion. "Alright, let's do it together."

With the skilled chef's assistance, Justin could only lend a hand. Meanwhile, Bella swiftly whipped up a large pot of mac and cheese.

It was a truly substantial amount.

It seemed that Bella was using her appetite to channel her anger.

"Bella… It's late. Will you be able to sleep tonight if you eat this much? Won't you feel uncomfortable? Justin stared at the pot of food in disbelief, suddenly feeling a bit full.

Standing by the table, Bella rolled up her sleeves, holding a large spoon, as she vigorously stirred the ingredients into a large lump. "Don't worry After eating, I'll go rowing on the lake in the backyard for an hour. It'll help burn most of it." S Justin was speechless, struggling to swallow.

Well, this woman was being really tough on him.

Once she finished mixing the mac and cheese, Bella scooped up a large spoonful and forcefully stuffed it into Justin's mouth.

"Eat!"

Justin struggled to chew, nearly choking in the process.

Bella also took a hearty spoonful, her small mouth expanding to an astonishing.size as she chomped away. If she had not been pretty et enough, her expression while eating would have been downright terrifying, like she was about to devour someone.

She was indeed furious.

The two of them managed to finish the pot of mac and cheese.

Justin typically ate very little at night and did not have the habit of haying midnight snacke: But for her, he was Wiling to break the rules he had adhered to for over a decade.

"Justin." Bella reached up and scratched the man's chin.

"Hmm?" Justin responded softly. He then grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1445-"Aren't you curious about what I said to Christopher when I rushed onto his plane?" Bella held back for a while before asking.

Justin's lips curled slightly. "Why? Are you afraid I'll get jealous?"

"Pfft, if you got jealous of someone like him, you'd be insulting me!" Bella jabbed her finger forcefully into his chest.

"Well, way before this… I really went crazy with jealousy when I saw you two together." Justin's eyes reddened, and he held her hand, planting a warm kiss on her palm.

"I know. It was so obvious. I'm not blind, so I noticed."

Bella pursed her lips, a hint of subtle grievance shining through her expression.

"But at that time, we had just divorced, and I was so angry whenever I saw you.

Seeing you upset actually made me feel a bit relieved. I thought I was different from other women. I thought I could move on easily after the divorce. But later, I realized that the satisfaction I felt from seeing you upset didn't come from a sense of revenge. It was because I always felt like you still cared about me."

After thirteen years of pursuit, secret admiration, and infatuation, no one would be able to control their heart's desires. It was impossible to simply switch off love.

Justin's breathing suddenly became heavy. An infinite bitterness surged through his veins and churned in his chest.

He fiercely choked back on the sentence he had been brewing in his heart for a long while, the one that even made him wake up from his dreams when he dreamt of it. He wanted to remarry her, but did he still have the right to do so?

Did he still have the right to be her husband again?

"I've always cared about you." Justin murmured, his voice trembling. Then he choked up, unable to say another word.

Bella also felt like she had touched on a sensitive topic, so she changed the subject. "Actually, I didn't say much to Christopher. I just vented my anger."

"Sometimes, venting does you good, too."

"I really don't understand what he went through during those fifteen years in Sentania. I wonder who he met and who shaped him into someone like this."

Bella recalled Christopher's manic smile and shook her head l.ne repeatedly. "He wasn't like this before. I remember when we were kids, we snuck out to play and encountered a snake. Although he was even more scared than me, he bravely stood before me, trembling, and drove the snake away.

There were many instances like that… He was kind when we were young."

"I've looked into his family situation before. The reason why he holds such hostility toward the Iversons probably stems from his mother."

Justin placed his arm around Bella's shoulder and continued slowly, "Mrs. Iverson has always been in an awkward position in the Iverson family. None of the older three children are hers biologically, and even as a stepmother, she still treads on thin ice in the Iverson household. Back then, Christopher was still too young. And as you know, he was quite fragile back then, incapable of protecting his mother. Mrs. Iverson was also honest and unpretentious. This often led to the marginalization of the mother-son duo in the Iverson household."

Bella nodded slowly.

She was somewhat familiar with the situation in the Iverson family, having heard plenty of gossip from Wyatt and Mila in the past.

"I've also heard that Mrs. Iverson fell out of favor with Lance due to ann alleged affair with one of his bodyguards."

Bella was shocked. "What? That's impossible! I remember meeting Mrs.

Iverson when was younger. She was alwavs so gentle and devoted to Mr.

Iverson. How could she possibly cheat on him with a bodyguard?"

"Well, that's why there might be something fishy going on here."

Justin's brows furrowed slightly.

connected to the three other Iversons. Don't you think fact that the bodyguard involved in

าวน the der the affair is now overseas, surveillance by James' men, sounds fishy?"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1446-Bella said, "Was it James' scheme?!"

Justin explained, "It could be a possibility. This incident indirectly caused the Iverson couple to split up. Mrs. Iverson blamed Christopher, who wasn't wellliked at home anyway, and he got sent off to Sentania for fifteen years with nobody caring for him. Meanwhile, Mrs. Iverson's health declined over time, and Christopher received almost no financial support from the Iverson family either.

Living in Sentania was tough for him."

Bella was somewhat surprised and asked, "Are you defending your enemy?"

Justin smiled faintly and said, "No, I'm just stating the facts. Even if he is my enemy, I won't twist the truth."

Bella was moved, and she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips.

It was this integrity and openness that Christopher could never compare to.

"So, do you think he wouldn't hold a grudge? If I were him, I'd also spare no effort to come back and avenge my mother, no matter the cost," Justin said, his gaze deep and distant.

"But that still doesn't justify what he did." Bella continued shaking her head.

"Besides, if he wanted revenge, he could have targeted the Iverson family. Why did he have to harm you, Asher, and Camilla? How could he not know that Edward was my brother-in-law when he was in Sentania? He claimed to love me but shamelessly went after my family behind closed doors. Just because my brother didn't approve of him, he conspired with Maxwell and tried to secretly get rid of him."

She continued, "If things didn't go his way, he'd make sure everyone else suffered along with him. He's willing to hurt anyone who doesn't do as he says, even if it's someone related to the person he loves! How many more people does he want to hurt before he's satisfied? He's too selfish and heartless!"

Justin blinked slowly as he struggled to find the right words. It felt a little silly to join Bella in cursing Christopher.

Bella fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, puzzled, "Back then, Christopher was young and had no one to help him. How did he manage to rise up and expand his business then?" Justin's eyes lit up. "That's a good question.

Bella, I've also been puzzled by this and have been secretly investigating."

"Even you, who came from the Salvador family, only managed to reach your current position with your grandfather's strong support. How could Christopher not have someone supporting him behind the scenes?"

Bella's lustrous eyes flickered with suspicion. "There must be someone high-ranking and powerful backing him up in Sentania that's using him for those risky deals they Celibe openly engage in. They even manipulate him into drug trafficking, controlling elections, and killing anyone who stands in their way."

Justin couldn't look away from Bella. His heart raced as he leaned in, unable to resist kissing her passionately. Every word she said ignited something within him. It was like they were totally in sync.

"Mm…" Bella let out a soft gasp, gently pushing him away. "If we figure out who's supporting Christopher behind the scenes, maybe we could bring him down and remove him once and for all!"

Justin felt a surge of jealousy welling up inside him. This girl was completely fixated on figuring out how to deal with Christopher. Although he knew she was seeking justice, she seemed to not give any thought to anything else and probably never had the time to think about him.

He replied, "Bella, I'm thinking the same thing as you. I'm now logking same thing as you. Im now looking into this from a different perspective to see if there's a way to take down Christopher." The content is on.

Justin smiled fondly and held onto her small waist. "It's getting late. Do you want to go to sleep?” "Well, I still feel full," Bella said as she patted her round belly.

"Should we go rowing?"

Bella raised her eyebrows, teasing him. "Do you believe everything I say? It's so dark outside. Let's not drown in the lake."

"When I have time, I'll contact Camilla and Edward to see if there's a way to salve this, "Bella said, feeling relieved and filled with fighting spirit.

"Then… Shall we go back to the room and do some other activities to help.

with digestion?" Justin gaid as his!

breathing became heavier, his low magnetic voice carrying a seductive tone. Bella's heart skipped a beat, feeling shy in his embrace. "Um…

Let's just go rowing…"

Justin did not know whether to be happy or upset. Is she getting bored of me? It seems that I'll have to unlock some new tricks.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1447-When the helicopter crashed in the countryside, it made the news headlines.

Residents living nearby recorded the whole thing and shared it online, which caused a lot of commotion.

The incident was undoubtedly unfortunate. The next day, the police issued an official statement through official channels, revealing that the helicopter had been used by a wanted criminal in an attempt to escape arrest. The statement also confirmed that all six people on board had died. After this news came out, public opinion changed completely, with many people applauding and feeling that justice had been served.

Charles's forensic report had also been released, confirming that he died due to asphyxiation. Additionally, based on the location of the ligature marks and signs

of struggle on his body, it was evident that he was deliberately murdered.

However, there were hundreds of inmates and hundreds of police officers in the detention center, so they could not identify anyone as the perpetrator. Or perhaps someone was secretly obstructing the progress of the investigation, hoping to ensure that the truth of this case would never come to light.

Various opinions have emerged online regarding James' death.

[Good riddance! I was wondering how to sentence him to death, but justice was served. It couldn't be better!] [That monster got off too easily. He should have been thrown in prison for a few years, starved every day, beaten every day, and tortured to death-that would have been satisfying!] [Yeah, he died too quickly. He didn't even get to experience real pain.

Regrettable!] [But what's even worse is that the victims didn't manage to witness Charles being tried by the law! He hasn't faced public condemnation! It's just one more thing to feel sorry about.] But no one, absolutely no one, stood up for Charles unless they had completely lost their minds.

The Iverson family also did not make any statements either. They were as quiet as if Charles were nothing but a stranger to them.

The beloved son that was doted on for over twenty years was murdered. Even after his death, he was still being insulted online. As the head of the Iverson family, Lance didn't dare say anything. He only hopec that the public would no longer focus on their family affairs.

James' funeral was quickly organized, and only family members came to offer their condolences. Who, with any dignity, would come to mourn a monster who did nothing but evil?

As time passed, there were only two days left until the first trial in the Shannon case.

Early that morning, Bella accompanied Justin to visit his mother, Mary.

In the quiet and serene cemetery, an infinite sense of desolation and sadness pervaded their hearts.

Bella respectfully placed a bouquet of lilies, Mary's favorite flower, in front of the tombstone.

A wave of overwhelming sadness washed over her as she stood behind Justin, her eyes quietly reddening.

Justin bent down on one knee, using a clean white handkerchief to carefully and gently wipe the marble tombstone.

Bella noticed that this part of the cemetery was the most elegant and clean, untouched by dust. It was evident that Justin had been diligently caring for this place year after year, day after day, allowing his mother to rest in peace.

"Mom, I've come to see you again."

Justin's eyes were moist as his fingertips trembled to touch his mother's beautiful face in the photo. "But this time it's different, Mom. I'm not alone now. I have someone to accompany me."

He continued, "I remember when I was little, you always feared that I would be alone… Mom, you can rest assured now. I'm doing well. I have finally found my happiness."

Justin stood up and returned to Bella's side, embracing her tightly, his lips curling up with joy. "Look, isn't this young lady beautiful? I think she's so beautiful, just like you.' Bella's cheeks flushed with a slight intoxication, surpassing countless spring scenes in the mortal world. Her fair and delicate hands intertwined and kneaded, exuding a shy and reserved charm.

It was as if Justin's mother stood before her, alive and well.

"Mom, let me formally introduce you. Her name is Bella, my lifelong love."

As the last tremulous word fell, Justin visibly choked up. "In this lifetime, I don't want anything else, just her."

"Justin…" Bella murmured softly, tears gathering at her lashes. "You must be happy for me even in the depths of the underworld, okay?"

Suddenly, Bella's hair that was hanging was lifted by a gentle breeze, scattering the tears at the corner of her eyes as if someone invisible were softly touching her face. Bella's heart raced wildly, her pupils dilating slightly, as she gazed unwaveringly at the beautiful woman with an affectionate smile in the black-andwhite photograph. She thought, 'Is it you? Are you silently responding to Justin?

So you've been watching over your son from heaven all along, silently protecting and blessing him, right?' "Mom, we've looked into what daydet happened to you, and Bella and I have finally pieced it together. Shannon is behind bars now, and her trial is coming up in two days. We're hoping that this will be the end of it for her. We won't let her get you. We'll y with what she did make sure she pays for all the pain you went through."

Justin's eyes glowed red as he tightly clasped Bella's hand. "Once the m verdict ig oyt, me with come visit you to share the good news of our win with you." The content is on.

"Aunt Mary, we will win this battle. Please bless Justin."

After they finished speaking, the young couple held hands and bowed deeply in front of Mary's tomb.

The moment Justin bowed, his eyes welled up with tears, and a small smile surfaced.

After paying respects, they stayed there for a while, and Bella helped to there for a while, and Bella helpedito clean up the grave. As they got ready to leave, they could hear a series of footsteps from a distance.

"Justin?"

The voice he recognized felt like an ice-cold shock, sending shivers down Justin's back.

Bella looked back at him, her eyes quickly narrowing as Justin's grip on her hand tightened.

The chairman of the Salvador Corporation's commanding presence disrupted the tranquility of the cemetery.

A short distance away, Gregory stood tall in a sharp and sophisticated black suit. Ja wasl adcompanied by his secretary and four trusted bodyguards.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1448-Bella watched as Justin's expression darkened as if a shining moon had plunged into icy darkness.

Under the impeccably tailored suit, Justin's broad shoulders were trembling, and his eyes were red. He seemed like a dormant volcano, ready to erupt with intense emotions at any moment. Bella squeezed his hand, trying to signal him to hold back his emotions.

It wasn't that she had a savior complex, nor was she trying to keep the family harmonious and present a united front. If needed, she was ready to support her partner.

Having an argument in the graveyard, especially with Justin's mother present, was not just inappropriate but also showed a lack of respect for the deceased. It would only upset her even more.

"I never expected you to come visit your mother today. You should have told me earlier. We could have come together," Gregory said, his tone relatively gentle.

"I believe that's what your mother would have wanted to see."

"What would my mother have wanted to see? Chairman Salvador, are you kidding me?" Justin gave him a cold stare, his voice full of resentment.

"Justin, what are you trying to say?!" Gregory's brows furrowed deeply.

"As her husband, you ignored her while she was suffering from severe depression. Even after her death, you didn't once bother to send someone to clean her grave. For the past twenty years, you've never visited my mother. And now you dare to claim that she wants to see you?"

Justin laughed bitterly, shaking his head. His anger burned in the depths of his chest. "Chairman Salvador, even if my mother spent several years by your side, even if she loved you, you should still have some sense of shame!"

Bella's heart trembled, nervously pressing her lips together. 'Will they get into a fight? Should I step in and speak up?' But what Justin said also mirrored her thoughts. She really didn't want to persuade him, so she had to scold him more firmly and snap this stubborn and bold old man out of his arrogance!

If they started fighting, Bella would have jumped in and fought too. One punch for each of those bodyguards!

Gregory was boiling with rage, his face visibly turning red. His secretary and the bodyguards behind him were sweating bullets, witnessing Chairman Salvador's fury.

"Paul, give me the flowers." With outsiders present, Gregory didn't want to make a scene. He forced down his anger and ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, Chairman Salvador." Paul hastily handed over a bouquet of white chrysanthemums respectfully.

Gregory took it and walked toward Mary's grave with a somber expression, However, after a few steps, Justin's tall, imposing figure stopped him, snatching the bouquet from his hands and ruthlessly throwing it to the ground.

Everyone shuddered in shock.

"Chairman Salvador, neither my mother nor I welcome you." Justin's bone-chilling gaze locked onto Gregory's stunned face. "She doesn't

With those words, he stepped forward and mercilessly crushed the white chrysanthemums under his foot.

right to stand in front of her!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1449-Gregory felt like his throat had been stabbed, looking directly at Justin's cold face. The authority of the aristocratic leader was about to crumble.

"Justin! You ingrate! If it were fake, I wouldn't have gone against all odds and endured backlash just to bring you and your mother back from the slums to the Salvador family."

He continued, "If it weren't for me, you would have died in that dirty and smelly place long ago! Have you forgotten how ill your mother was at that time? She didn't even have the money to go to the hospital for medical treatment! She couldn't even support you! If it weren't for me, how could she have recovered from her serious illness? How could you live a good life of being pampered and having everything you want?!"

Seeing the man in front of her being accused and treated unfairly, Bella felt distressed as an onlooker. Her heart burned with intense emotion, and her blood was boiling in her veins as she clenched her fists tightly.

Up until now, Gregory hadn't been talking to his son as a husband or father.

Instead, he came across more like a capitalist, acting high and mighty and offering fake generosity to Justin and his mother with a self-righteous attitude.

Although everything he said made sense, every word he said only implied one thing. He and Justin have never belonged in the same world. It was him, out of boundless generosity, who allowed Justin to escape from that wretched, filthy, stinking slum. It was his simple gesture that allowed Justin to be lucky enough to enter his world.

It was that natural arrogance and sense of superiority, rather than a direct insult, that made one feel more enraged and embarrassed.

"No matter what, I'm the one who raised you! Without me, where would you be today? Would you still have the audacity to be so disrespectful and rebellious to me?!" Gregory's mouth was like a rapid-fire cannon. His eyes were red as he unleashed his fury on Justin.

Justin replied, "If I weren't a boy but a girl instead, would you still have gone to such lengths to bring me back to the Salvador family? Would you still remember that there was a poor woman out there, nameless and destitute, struggling to survive, living in hunger and homelessness, solely responsible for nurturing your flesh and blood?"

"You insolent brat!" Gregory's aristocratic demeanor finally crumbled, his embarrassment turning into rage as he swung his arm, aiming a slap at Justin's cheek.

Justin remained unfazed. Only his stunning eyes radiated an intense hatred that sent shivers down one's spine.

Just as everyone was stunned, Gregory suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

His brows furrowed.

Bella's beautiful figure appeared in front of Justin all of a sudden. She grabbed Gregory's wrist and tightened her fingers, as if she wanted to crush his bones. S "Chairman Salvador!"

Paul and the four bodyguards were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they rushed to stop him.

However, Bella's face was as cold as ice. She did not even blink, and she had no intention of letting go

"Ms. Thompson, I am disciplining my own son… As an outsider, mustlyou meddlevin euk'affairs?!" Gregory asked as he held back the pain..

At this moment, Bella's softness and fear vanished as every instinct in her body kicked in to protect the man she loved.

Justin loomed protectively behind Bella, his gaze filled with awe and determination as he declared, "I will kill whoever dares to touch Ms. Thompson!"

'My wife?' Justin's eyes narrowed, and his heart raced like a wild horse.

Bella looked at him coldly, her gentle smile slightly twisted. "You might see me as an outsider, but Justin sees mé as his wife."

She threw the word out there so casually. Bella was well-read and educated, so surely she knew what it meant, right?

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1450-Bella said "So if you intend to lay a hand on Justin, I won't allow it. If you don't care for him, I do. Even if I weren't here…"

Bella looked at Mary's tombstone with sadness in her eyes. "Don't you feel bad for Aunt Mary? You just got into a fight right in front of her. You always act like you're the leader of the Salvador family and some kind of high-class person.

Don't you think your behavior right now is not classy?"

Her tone was casual, yet her words struck right at the heart.

Gregory narrowed his eyes, clenching his jaw so tight that it looked like it might break.

"Chairman Salvador, it seems today isn't suitable for you to pay respects to Aunt Mary. We appreciate your kindness, and I'm sure Aunt Mary has seen and heard it too. Please leave."

Bella slowly released her grip, and only then did Paul and the bodyguards breathe a sigh of relief.

Gregory's expression turned stiff and pale, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give up. "I specially cleared my schedule today just to see her. I'll just have a quick look and then go." "Don't even think about it!"

Justin suddenly yanked Bella behind him, and the father and son found themselves at odds once more. "If it weren't for your erratic behavior, always bringing Shannon into our home, letting that spiteful woman torment my mother without any boundaries, none of this would've happened! My mom wouldn't be dead!"

"You…!" Gregory was so furious to the point where his vision blurred momentarily!

"The worst five years of her life weren't when she was struggling with poverty, hunger, and illness… But it was the time she spent with you where you neglected her. It's because of your leniency that she endured so much hardship and eventually passed away!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Gregory was trembling with rage, his whole body shaking. He took heavy breaths and said, "Mary's death was because she suffered from depression!

She was unable to bear the pain and chose suicide as a means to escape! It wasn't my fault!"

He actually thought Mary's death was an escape.

Bella furrowed her brow and shook her head in frustration and resignation.

Until now, Gregory had never quite grasped Shannon's behavior or Mary's state of mind.

Perhaps he did fall in love with Mary. However, his love for her seemed insignificant when compared to the love he had for himself.

"My mother never sought escape through death! Her death was because of Shannon…"

"Justin! That's enough!" Bella grabbed Justin's arm and promptly stopped him. Only then did Justin, who was filled with rage, manage to regain control of himself and keep his lips tightly shut.

Paul was completely shocked by this. Justin did not even show respect to Chairman Salvador when he was angry, but as soon as Bella spoke, he turned into a totally different person.

The heiress of the Thompson family was truly amazing. She had President Salvador completely under her thumb.

"Shannon… What does Shannon have to do with Mary's death? Justin, explain it to me clearly!"

Gregory glared at his son, but his curiosity was piqued by the hesitation in his son's words.

Bella sensed that continuing this conversation could ruin their plans, sa she decided to hastily lead Justin away from the graveyard.

Paul cautiously asked, "Chairman Salvador, should I get anothed m bauquet of flowers for Madam Mary?"

"What did Justin mean just now?!

Did he mean that Shannon killed Mary?!" Gregory grabbed Paul by the collar, his anger ungontrollable as he questioned, "Was he speaking out of frustration, or does he have evidence for saying that?! On what grounds did he make such a

statement?!"
