Ch. 1531..1540

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1531-After listening to her words, Bethany's mind spun as she stumbled to her feet.

"You… You're able to come back? When are you planning to return? Are you back to take revenge on Ryan?!"

Zoe gritted her teeth fiercely. "He made my life hell. How can I let him have his way?! From the moment he slapped me three times at the party in front of Bella, Justin, and all the elite of Savrow, we're no longer family. We're enemies!"

"Yeah, Ryan went overboard! He hasn't even married Carrie yet, and he's already abandoned his sister and defied his mother. If they really got married, what would happen to you and your mother?!" Bethany sniffed, backstabbing Carrie and fanning the flames.

"Hmph, don't act like you're concerned for me. All that talk, but you're just hoping for me to return so you can use me to avenge yourself, right?"

Zoe saw through Bethany's despicable thoughts and sneered. "Your backing has collapsed. Without your mother, what fight do you have left? You can only watch as your retarded sister marries into a wealthy family and surpasses you."

Bethany thought about the jewelry Ryan snatched from her and how it would soon belong to Carrie. She was so mad that she trembled violently, her body aching with rage.

She was the eldest daughter who carried the hope of the family and their parents' favorite daughter. How did she reach this point? How could she let that retard catch up to her?!

"No… I can't let Carrie marry Ryan… Never!" Bethany's eyes reddened with rage.

"I feel the same. But you know how Ryan is. It's impossible to make him give up on that fool, so we need to plan this meticulously to perish his thoughts!"

Zoe smiled sinisterly. "I think we will need to work together soon. You should understand by now from your mother's situation that it is futile to place all your hope on someone else. "You need to avenge yourself for it to be satisfying!"

Bethany understood the implications of Zoe's words. Zoe wanted to involve her as an additional security measure, dragging her down.

However, Bethany bore too much hatred.

As long as she could deal a heavy blow to Ryan and Carrie, she was willing to do anything, even if it meant sacrificing herself.

"Haha… Nothing you say now will mean anything. Let's wait until you return to discuss further!"

Justin and Ryan walked out of Tideview Manor, their luxury cars parked outside the gate side by side.

This place was not Ryan's home, but it seemed Justin no longer considered it his home either.

"If Carrie likes that stuff, you can just tell me. I would have collected them for her, as many as she wants."

Justin's eyelashes hung low, and he glanced at the heavy bag in Ryan's hands.

"Why bother taking Shannon's last remains to my sister? How morbid."

"If we don't take it, should we have let that dumb chick take advantage? I'd rather smash these to pieces!"

Ryan's brows raised smugly. "I feel so satisfied when I think of Bethany holding a hammer, her face as red as a beet! Hahaha! That feeling of not being able to get something she wanted must be driving her crazy with torment!"

Justin's thin lips curled up as he looked at Ryan.

"Actually, Carrie doesn't want these."

Ryan's eyes glimmered, and he sighed. "That day, she met Shannon one last time and ityeft herfeeling.

Upon hearing it, Justin's heart suddenly tightened.

This was what he feared most. Не was afraid that Carrie, who had a kind soul, would blame herself m because of the pain her mother brought him, affecting their sibling bond. Sdaddh th& FindNov&l.ndt website on Googli to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"My mother's grudge with Shannon had been settled. Besides, Shannon wasn't even pregnant with Carrie when she entered the Salvador family. She has nothing to do with it?"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1532-Justin could not help but feel distressed. He patted his best friend's shoulder and said, "Bring Carrie over to our house sometime. I'll ask Bella to comfort her.

Carrie listens to her sister-in-law the most. Coincidentally, I've learned some new recipes recently. If you two come over, you can enjoy my cooking thanks to Bella."

Ryan's face turned green, and he shook. "Are you inviting us over for dinner or asking us to be your guinea pig?"

Justin was speechless.

"You even want to drag my wife to suffer along with me. Do you still have a conscience?"

"I'm inviting you so you can learn from how I took care of Bella. If you could do the same, your relationship with Carrie would only become sweeter. Truly loving someone means not only spending time with her, but you also need to try doing things you've never done before for her. You need to be willing to learn what you don't know." When Justin said this, his eyes shone with a warm glow. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He avenged his mother, and the woman he loved most reciprocated his feelings.

He thought his life was complete, and he could not be happier.

Therefore, Justin sincerely hoped his best friend could tie the knot with Carrie, leading a happy and fulfilled life.

Ryan took a deep breath and looked at him with an intense gaze. "Justin, I'm prepared. In the next couple of days, I'm going to officially ask Chairman Salvador for Carrie's hand. I wanted to wait for my appointment as president to be announced, but I can't wait any longer. I want to give Carrie a title and marry her quickly. I really love her."

Ryan's voice trembled slightly. He even choked up, indicating the depth of his love.

"You're not wrong. You don't have to become the Hoffman Group's president to marry Carrie. The business and assets you accumulated outside over the years were enough to amount to half of the Hoffman Group."

Justin met his affectionate eyes and was moved. "If you've made up your mind, go for it. Bella and I will support you fully. Good luckvel brother!"

After hearing from Matt that Nigel was not feeling well, Bella quickly called Justin and rushed toward Crescent Bay.

Matt finally spoke the truth after her relentless questions.

It turned out Nigel had been unwell for a while. He had trouble sleeping and had no appetite. His personal doctor visited daily but could not find anything specific, only sal net that it was digestive problems due to old age and recommending generic medicine.

Nigel had kept his illness from the couple, afraid of worrying them.

On the way, Bella's face was as pale as paper. She felt as if she weren sitting qi needles!

"Bella, don't worry."

Justin's large hands rested on Bella's waist, gradually tightening, pulling her into his embrace slowly but firmly.

"The personal doctor I hired for Grandpa is nationally renowned! If he said it's nothing serious, then it shouldn't be a problem. But Grandpa is getting old, and his body functions are deteriorating. Occasional digestive issues and loss of appetite are normal. If you're worried, we will stay at Crescent Bay to accompany Grandpa for some time. That way, you can help to observe Grandpa's condition. What do you say?"

He was indeed always attentive to her emotions and perfectly considerate.

Bella was engulfed in the man's warm breath, and she agked softly, "Are you Willing fo move?"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1533-"Why wouldn't I be? As long as I'm with you, I'd do anything for Grandpa's sake."Justin's lips curled up."I just feel so guilty..."Bella wrapped her arms around Justin's neck, burying her face in his broad shoulders, her voice soft and muffled. "Uncle Matt told me Grandpa Nigel had been feeling unwell for a while, but I didn't realize it until now."Last time, at the cemetery, he still forced himself to stand up from the wheelchair. I feel awful whenever I think about it. How could I be so careless?""It's not your fault, Bella. You've done well."Justin comforted her gently. "We'll just be more attentive in the future. Grandpa doesn't want you to feel so stressed. If he knew, he might not see you."He could not help thinking in his heart. Were the two kindest women in the world taken by him and Ryan?How lucky they were.Tonight, Nigel's villa was lively again with the couple's arrival.Bella checked Nigel's pulse and examined him once she arrived. She busied herself in the kitchen, instructing the chef on Nigel's dietary restrictions based on his condition, looking like a dutiful and caring granddaughter-in-law.Justin knew nothing about medicine and could not help, even if he wanted to, so he could only sit beside Nigel."That's my Anna! So young yet talented, considerate and filial, and she even makes good food!"Nigel stared at Bella's figure and exclaimed, "Sigh, I always liked girls more. In my opinion, an outstanding daughter could inherit the family เอน 3 business too. But your gor net gave me me two sons. If not for her health, I really hope she could give me another daughter... If I had a daughter, I would raise her to be as amazing as Anna and let her inherit the Salvador Corporation. Your Dad? Hmph! He can settle with crumbs!"Justin listened quietly, his handsome face revealing no expression."During the years your father became chairman, how many decent things has he done? If your uncle didn't pass away so early..." Nigel's breath suddenly hitched, and he stopped complaining. Justin's eyes darkened.He had always felt that the reason Nigel disliked Gregory so much was not only because he married Shannon.It seemed like Nigel never really favored his eldest son. His words always showed deeper love for his youngest son."Luckily, you found your way back and didn't get misled by your father, choosing Anna in the end.Otherwise, I won't rest in peace, could even flip my coffin lid!" The shadows cleared between Nigel's brows, replaced by humor. Content Justin's throat tightened. "Grandpa, I did you wrong, and I owe Bella even more... In the past, I..."

Nigel waved his hand. "Hey! Consider the old you dead and gone Aslong as you treat An a broperly now, l will as you tread Anfa properly now, I will be'smiling on my deathbed."

Matt happened to walk out with a fruit platter in his hands, teelingm exasperated upon|hearing it. "Old Master Nigel, you really shouldn't talk about death so much. How unlucky!"

"I don't believe in that stuff! Fate will decide how I die. Besides, with Anna taking care of me, I'll live at least twenty years longer!"As he spoke, Nigel placed his hand.

on Justin's shoulder, as if passing down a heavy responsibility. "Justin, your blessings are yet to come. Mark my words, the Salvador Corporation will be in the hands of you and Anna."

Justin's heart shook. He was about to speak when Bella quickly walked over, her beautiful eyes cold."Grandpa Nigel, Justin, I've just gotten the news. Ten minutes ago, Shannon's death penalty had been carried out."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1534-chapter will update soon

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1535-Immediately, Bella felt the man's large hand holding up her delicate waist, suddenly pulling her in. She was then pressed tightly against his warm chest.

"Hmm…"

Bella's body went soft, her breath hitched, and Justin's lips abruptly covered hers. His eyes, looking at her, were filled with longing and distress as he kissed her passionately in front of Nigel, without a care for anyone else.

Wow!

Nigel and Matt raised their brows with joy, their hearts thumping wildly in their chests.

Nigel had always thought of his grandson as a block of wood, lacking in social skills, and a bore. Before Justin reached adulthood, Nigel had considered taking him to a psychiatrist more than once, but he was afraid of hurting Justin's pride.

It seemed that Bella had transformed Justin into a starving wolf.

"Don't… Grandpa Nigel is still here." Bella pushed him embarrassingly, her face blushing.

"Grandpa is not an outsider."

Justin held her waist tightly, blurting out, "Besides, why should I sneak around when I want to love my wife?"

Bella pursed her rosy lips shyly, her heartstrings strummed by his sweet words.

Once, he would only dare to probe cautiously, and every time he wanted to say the word "wife", he seemed too embarrassed.

However, he did not know that as long as he bravely took that one step towards her, their two hearts would have collided. "Ahem… Matt! Did we forget to feed the birds in the backyard? Let's go feed the birds!" Nigel chuckled, joy evident on his face.

"Yes, Old Master Nigel!" Matt beamed with a wide smile.

Their lips, almost swollen, finally parted, and Bella's makeup was smudged.

Justin's fingers gently rubbed away the redness from her lips, saying hoarsely, "Bella, thank you. No matter in the past or now… I was lucky to have you."

"Do you know why Grandpa Nigel likes to set off fireworks?" Bella lowered her head shyly, adjusting his tie like a dutiful wife.

"Tell me."

"Because Grandma likes it."

Bella sighed. "When she was young, she loved fireworks, but Grandpa Nigel, being the dense man he was, bought a bunch of firecrackers to set them off in the yard. Grandma was so mad that she nicknamed him Nigel Firecracker."

Justin could not help but laugh. "It's a fine name that suits Grandpa's character."

"Grandma is timid. Grandpa Nigel would light the firecrackers and then run to her every time, and she'd jump into his arms. He would cover her ears too.

Grandpa Nigel always told me that those times were as beautiful as a dream. He could never forget a single moment with Grandma. No amount of money or power could replace how much he missed her."

Bella narrated softly, helpless. "That's why I did all these for Grandpa Nigel.

After all, to an infatuateg man who lived in memories, I could only do this much." S~Maush the KindNavel. Met website on Googly to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Justin listened to her quietly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Hey… For real? It's too easy to break through your defenses now!" Phe contentis &n

Bella hurriedly pulled out his tie to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Do ygu haye to get emotionall about something totally unrelated to you? Are your eyes a spring?"

Justin felt extremely ashamed. How could it not matter to him?

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1536-Though Justin was Nigel's biological grandson, Justin had only inherited Gregory's cold indifference over the past twenty years. He thought he had been gradually improving, but now it seemed his deep affection toward Bella was not even one-thousandth of his grandfather's love for his grandmother.

"From now on, it'll never happen again," Justin said in a trembling voice after a long silence.

Bella placed her slender fingers against his lips and smiled gently. "Mmm, it'll never happen again."

The young couple happily joined Nigel for dinner, and Matt had also sent someone to buy fireworks.

Nigel sat in his wheelchair, smiling as he watched his grandson and granddaughter-in-law ignite the fireworks nearby. The two of them then lit sparkles, drawing circles in the air. They looked as happy as two children celebrating the New Year.

"Look, Young Master Justin's smile is so bright and joyful."

Matt brought a wool blanket and carefully draped it over Nigel's legs. "I still remember how Young Master Justin was only up to your waist when he first came to you. He was wearing ill-fitting clothes and was so skinny, tan, and small. He looked so pitiful back then."

Nigel nodded emotionally, "Yeah, he's grown into a capable man who can stand on his own in the blink of an eye."

Matt sighed, "Before Young Master Justin met Ms. Thompson, he had never smiled like this. He carried heavy responsibilities and harbored painful hatred in his heart. He was never this happy, but fortunately, Ms. Thompson appeared and healed him, and everything is in the past now."

"Anna is not only a gift from heaven to me but also to my grandson." Nigel's eyes were warm, touched by the happiness before him.

Indeed, they were a perfect match, a beautiful couple…

They were just like Nigel and his long-deceased, beloved wife.

"The road stretches endlessly, while morning conversations never cease. Hearts are like silk threads, entwined and inseparable…" Suddenly, the phone in Nigel's coat pocket vibrated, pulling him back from his drifting thoughts.

He took it out and glanced at it. Upon seeing it, his pupils contracted instantly.

Matt also looked at the screen in confusion, then in shock. "Isn't that… Young Master Grant?" "Matt, take me inside."

Nigel and Matt returned to the living room. Nigel took a deep breath and answered the call.

On the screen, Grant's slightly dazed and sickly pale yet elegant face appeared, showing a kind smile to Nigel.

"Grandpa, long time no see. How have you been?"

Nigel's expression was unnatural.

"I'm fine, Grant. How have you been taking care of yourself over there? You don't look too well. Have you been taking your medications regularly? Have you been going for your check-ups? If you feel unwell, be sure to let me and your father know, so we can come and visit you."

"Grandpa, please don't worry about me. My health is improving each day. As your grandson, I've been away for so many years and haven't been able to fulfill my filial duties to you and Dad. I feel extremely I ashamed. I'll focus on recovering… Cough, cough, cough… I hope to return to you and Dad soon." Grant coughed painfully, his eyes glistening with a faint, soft light, now teary.

Nigel quickly said, "You see, you're still very it. Don't push ygurseth too much. justfocus on recuperating much. Justfocus on recuperating abroad. Your father and I

understand and will never blame you for anything."

As they spoke, they could hear Justin and Bella laughing joyfully, and it seemed the young gouple was m comingdoser. Suasin tha Find_Novel.&et website on Googli to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Nigel's heart clenched. "Grant, I have something to attend to now. I'll call you again in a few days."

"Grandpa, what are you so afraid of?"

Grant's gaze was like a mysterious forest, but his tone carried a hint of sadness. "I know, yustinis your grandson, But am I not your grandson, too?" "You're overthinking it. I.

"

"Do you really not like seeing my face that much? Do you really hate me that much?

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1537-Nigel furrowed his brows deeply, "Grant…"

Grant's eyes carried a hint of sorrow, and his smile was bitter. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. It's my fault. I couldn't help you and Dad or fulfill my duties to the Salvador family. I also ended up becoming a burden. For many years, I've always thought about one thing-how different things would be if I didn't get kidnapped, if I had been the one to escape from the kidnappers. If I could've been a bit more selfish… Would everything have turned out differently then?"

With a complicated mix of emotions, Nigel tried to console him. "Grant, don't think about it that way. I know you've suffered a lot over the years. That was an accident. You're my grandson, too. Why wouldn't my heart ache for you, too?

Whether it's you or Justin, I love both of you deeply."

"Then do you love me more, or Justin more?"

This was undoubtedly a soul-searching question.

Nigel was momentarily at a loss for words, while Grant smiled faintly. "You don't have to answer. I understand. But it's okay. I won't be angry. After all, I'm Justin's older brother, the eldest son of the Salvador family. Even at the cost of my life, it's my duty to protect my younger brother. Though I've missed you and Dad and have felt sorry for myself, I've never regretted risking my life to save Justin during that kidnapping incident."

A heavy shadow clouded Nigel's brow, and he pressed his lips together.

"Back then, if I hadn't helped Justin escape, the kidnappers would've tortured us to death. One of us had to survive to inherit the Salvador family business and fulfill our filial duties to you and Dad. Isn't that right?"

"Grant, about that incident… I'll always feel indebted to you. I just hope you don't hold a grudge against Justin. Don't blame him for it. Justin was just a child then.

He was too young to understand anything." Nigel set aside his elder's pride, almost pleading with Grant.

A subtle, mysterious smile appeared on Grant's pale and handsome face on the screen.

That smile was like a snake's cold and slender tongue, probing Nigel's heart with eerie and hidden intent.

"Grandpa, who are you talking to?"

Justin walked in with his arm around Bella's waist. His face beamed with happiness.

Nigel froze, holding his phone mid-air, unsure of what to do.

"Justin? You're here." Grant's warm voice came from the phone.

Bella heard the deep, mellow voice, which immediately caught her attention.

Justin's expression stiffened. "Grant…?"

Grant's voice was gentle as he pleaded, "Grandpa, can I please speak with Justin? I haven't seen him in a long time. I miss him."

"Justin, your brother wants to talk to you." Nigel deliberately called Justin over alone.

He did it to ensure that Bella would not appear on the call.

Justin walked over to his grandfather, his handsome face composed. "Hey, Grant.” "You look just as spirited and handsome as ever, unlike me… Cough, cough."

Grant tried to suppress his cough, smiling with relief. "I'm sure you and Ms.

Thompson must be laughing at me."

Justin's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and Bella clearly heard everything.

"Grandpa, your house must've been lively tonight, right? With Justin, Ms.

Thompson, and Uncle Matt having dinner and setting off fireworks with you. Just thinking about it makes me envious of such a warm scene."

Nigel's jaw clenched slightly.

His eldest grandson had always been sensitive and thoughtful. He was just as sharp and intelligent as Justin.

But he lacked Justin's straightforward and genuine nature. Though he always wore a smile, one could never tell if it was sincere.

Every word Grant spoke would leave one feeling uneasy and compelled to search for hidden meanings.

Justin looked at Grant warmly. "Grant, I'll schedule a time to visit you in Meridan with Grandpa. We can have a reunion then."

"Will you bring Ms. Thompson with you to meet me then?"

The room suddenly fell silent.

As someone who was usually reserved, Justin frowned at Grant's question, feeling bitter.

Justin could not tell if Grant wanted to see him or his woman.

"Well, there's no need to complicate it. Isn't Ms. Thompson right beside you?

There's no time like the vel.?

present. Meeting through the screen is just as good."

As he finished his sentence, Nigel waved Bella over. "Come, Anna.

Bella hesitated but then walked to Justin's side, the striking couple now in Grant's view.

"Justin is so lucky to have such a beautiful companion like Ms. Thompson by his side."

Grant's smile widened as he gazed at Bella's stunning face. "Oh, no, I should call you my sister-in-law now."

His tone was sincere as he admired the couple.

Justin pressed his lips together, staying silent.

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Grant," Bella said with a polite smile, addressing him formally as "Young Master Grant" instead of "Grant".

Her choice of words was deliberate and calculated.

"We have met before. This isn't our first time meeting each other," Grant said, his eyebrows arching slightly apd/shadows playing across his refined face. Justin's heart inexplicably tightened, and his fingers clenched.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be our first meeting," Bella responded calmly.

Grant smiled faintly. "In the past few years, and even further back, I've met You stan youre note of ene though 1 reside in Meridan, I've visited your jewelry exhibitions several times and had the privilege of purchasing a few pieces to add to my collection.

To put it bluntly, I am one of your fans."

"It may be the first time you're meeting me, but I've seen you before."

 

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1538-"Young Master Grant, you're my fan?" Bella's long lashes fluttered in surprise.

Oh my. This was certainly unexpected.

Even more surprising was his mention of meeting Bella "even further back", which made Bella suspicious. Although her identity as "Alexa" had only been revealed recently, she had kept it well hidden for years. However, Grant's words implied that he had known that she was Alexa even before the reveal.

"I've heard a lot about your achievements. You always seemed so familiar to me, like someone I knew well. You never felt like a stranger to me," Grant said earnestly, his gaze clear and sincere. "Haha… It seems like my granddaughterin-law is really famous!"

Nigel beamed with joy. He held Bella's hand with his left and Justin's with his right, placing their hands together in front of Grant. "Justin, you must cherish Anna. Look how renowned and brilliant she is! She's a great blessing to the Salvador family!"

Bella lightly bit her rosy lips, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks.

Justin intertwined his fingers with hers, their hands tightly clasped together.

"Rest assured, Grandpa. I may be Bella's man, but she's my entire world."

Meanwhile, the video call ended.

Grant sat in an all-black wheelchair. His cold, pale face hid in the dim light, half in shadow and half under the light. The eerie and unpredictable lighting seemed to split his soul in two.

His arms were resting on the armrest of his wheelchair, his wrists appearing weak under the exquisitely raised sapphire cuffs. His long, slender fingers lightly tapped on the armrest, as if playing a silent piano piece.

"Sir, it's time for you to take your medication."

Clarice gracefully approached him, carrying a tray with various pills and a Baroque crystal glass. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Grant glanced sideways at the medications, his pale, cold lips curling slightly. "I take so many of these every day. It's like my meals are just medicine. I wonder if my blood is now bitter and poisonous."

Clarice's glance carried a hint of pity. "Sir, you've been through so much. You've endured so many hardships."

"You've suffered, too," Grant said, elegantly picking up a pill.

Clarice shook her head repeatedly. "What I've gone through is nothing compared to you."

"If it weren't for my moment of misstep back then, my brother would've been the one in this wretched state instead of me."

Grant popped a pill into his mouth, chewing it like candy. "If Justin were the one suffering like this, Clarice, you would've felt sorry for him, wouldn't you?"

Clarice knelt on one knee at Grant's feet, cradling his cold hands like a treasure.

"Don't worry, Sir. Even if the whole world turns against you, I'l never rbetray you. At this point, my feelings for Justin are nothing but hatred. I hate him as much as I hate Bella!"

Grant lowered his long lashes, gazing at her.

He had trained Clarice thoroughly, inside and out, to be outstanding.

However, as he recalled Bella's captivating face from the videg pall, the woman before him, ho matter how dazzling, seemed dim in comparison.

It seemed that his brother had always been a bit luckier than him.

"Earlier, I overheard your conversation with Old Master Nigel.

How can he be So unfair? Favoring one of his grandsons over another!"

Clarice's eyes carried a tinge of resentment. In terms of rank, you're the eldest grandson of the Salvador family. Youre the rightful heir. Justin is nothing more than an illegitimate child who doesn't deserve to be in the spotlight."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1539-But look at what's going on now. You no longer have a place in Old Master Nigel's heart. He speaks every word with wariness and apprehension toward you. They're all enjoying their time as a family in Savrow. But they've never cared about how you endure those long, painful nights alone. Everything Justin has now rightfully belongs to you!"

Grant took another pill, popped it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly. With his eyes closed, he chuckled softly, murmuring, "Grandpa, you said he was just a child back then, but you seem to forget I was just a child back then, too."

Justin and Bella had planned to stay and accompany Nigel, but the old man insisted they head back home.

"Are you both insane? Why would a young couple want to spend all their time with an old man like me? Do you guys have nothing to do?!" Nigel pushed them toward the door, "Go, go… It's enough that you visited! Staying too long will just disturb my peace! Matt, send them off!" Bella pouted pitifully, "Grandpa Nigel, can you really bear to see us go?"

"I can."

Bella was at a loss for words.

"Don't worry, Young Master Justin, Ms. Thompson. I'll keep you updated on Old Master Nigel's condition," Matt reassured them.

The young couple reluctantly left, looking back wistfully.

When Matt returned after sending them off, he came back to find Nigel's face clouded with worry.

"Mr. Salvador, didn't you want the kids to stay longer? Nowadays, you rarely get a chance to spend time with them together. Why did you…"

"Do you think I'm in the mood for that now?"

Nigel clutched his chest, taking a deep breath. "Matt, I'm deeply unsettled right now. I was afraid if they stayed, they'd notice my distress and worry even more."

"Is this because of Young Master Grant?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"There are many things I can't say outright. You know that."

Nigel felt agitated and uneasy. "Right now, I'm more worried about Anna than about Justin! Maybe I should go to Hatchbay in the next few days and personally talk to Chairman Thompson about their marriage. We can't afford to delay any longer. The longer we wait, the more things could go wrong!"

"Old Master, please calm down."

Matt quickly advised him, “Although Young Master Justin and Ms. Thompson are very close now, their relationship has only recently stabilized. After all the chaos, Ms. Thompson has lost the chance to be a mother because of our negligence. Her painful past was only temporarily put to rest through Young Master Justin's efforts, and the Thompsons' attitude has only just started to soften. If we rush to talk about their marriage now, Chairman Thompson might think we're being presumptuous and taking advantage of the situation, which could backfire! Chairman Thompson is a complex individual and difficult to predict!"

Upon hearing Matt, Nigel scratched his head in frustration. "Ugh! What should I do then? I'm afraid someone else might take Anna away!"

"That's unlikely. Their bond is strong and unbreakable. The issue lies within the relationship between the two families, which requires a gradual approach. Also, Young net Master Justin and Ms. Thompson mentioned Mr. Hoffman and Ms.

Carrie's engagement duri the dinner earlier. I think you should pay attention to this matter as well."

Matt could not help but feel compassion for Carrie. "Ms. Carrie is genuinely an unfortunate child Its hard to find someone like Mr.

Hoffman who is devoted to her and would not give up on her. If she misses out on him, it would be a lifelong regret."

Nigel sighed heavily and slammed his hand on his chair's armrest.

"They're all my grandkids, and dare deeply. for each of them. Even if it means risking everything, I want to ensure they all find happiness in the end."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1540-Upon returning home, Justin received a call from lan and went straight to the study to handle some business. "Mr. Salvador, the foundation is almost finalized.

You can announce it officially whenever you're ready."

Justin's voice was low and carried a hint of weariness. "That's great. Thank you for your hard work."

"And by the way, weren't you planning to take Young Madam on a vacation to Switzerland? I've got a villa ready for you. It's at the bottom of the Alps, and the scenery is magnificent. You and Young Madam car head there anytime," lan said in a cheery tone.

Having toppled Shannon, lan felt rejuvenated. He was so happy that he could laugh even in his dreams.

However, Justin remained silent for a while, lost in thought. He was still thinking about the conversation with Grant and the way his brother had looked at Bella.

The pressure in his chest grew, and his eyes became deep and troubled.

"Mr. Salvador? Mr. Salvador? Are you asleep?"

Justin snapped back to reality. "What did you just say?"

"I said, I've arranged everything for you in Switzerland. You and Young Madam can go on vacation whenever you like."

Concerned, lan asked, "Mr. Salvador, are you alright? You sound exhausted. Are you sick?"

"lan, I talked to my brother earlier tonight. He also met Bella." Justin said, pressing his fingers to his aching forehead, his mind in turmoil.

"What?!"

lan could not help but yell, forgetting all etiquette. "Holy… What were you thinking?!"

Feeling irritable, Justin did not bother to argue with lan. "It was a video call with Grandpa, and Bella was there too. My brother wanted to see her, and I couldn't think of a reason to say no."

"So, you let him see her just because he wants to? Are you going to do whatever he asks you to? Mr. Salvador, you're usually really sharp and quickwitted, but why did you turn into a fool around your brother?!"

lan was so anxious that he could hardly speak clearly. "What happened when you were young was an accident!

An accident! While it's true that Young Master Grant suffered greatly, you were also a victim. You almost didn't make it back alive. You can be grateful to him, but there's no need to feel guilty and think you owe him for the rest of your life.

You don't have to do what he wishes you to do every time!"

Justin furrowed his brows, feeling his heart clench.

"Let's put forth a conspiracy theory. Those kidnappers might've been targeting him all along, and you just got caught in the crossfire because of him!"

Growing increasingly disgruntled, lan continued, "Think about it. You were still so young. You had only gone back to the Salvador household for a few years. Hardly anyone knew about your existence. But Grant was different. He was the legitimate eldest son, always out in public with Chairman Salvador. He was born with a golden spoon! If I were a kidnapper, he'd definitely be my prime target. Kidnapping him would be far more lucrative than kidnapping you. You were nothing more than an unintended bonus!"

Justin's handsome face darkened. He was speechless.

Yet these crude words made sense.

Back then, he was nothing more than a child born out of wedlock, far less valuable than Grant.

However, Justin could not deny that his escape from those monsters was thanks to his brother's self-sacrifice.

"With a face as stunning as Young Madam's, anyone would be smitten! You should've kept her well-protected, but you let Young Master Grant meet her, and it was even his idea… He dared to ask, and you actually agreed to it?!"

Would his brother really have feelings for Bella?

Justin took a sharp breath, shaking his head vigorously and muttering, "No way."

"He's not a monk or gay, so why wouldn't he? If he does developm wouldh't he? If he does developm feelingg for Young Madam, what will you do then? Are you going to just let it happen?"

Justin's eyes blazed with fury, and his fists clenched tightly. His veing were bulging on the badk or his hands.

"Bella holds my entire life. I would rather die than let anyone take her!"

"There's no way that's going to happen."

"In any case, you must stay vigilant! Protect her from others with everything you've got!"

lan then sighed deeply with concern.

corporation will become extre cines precarious. The entire balance of power within the Salvador corporation and family will shift dramatically!"

"If Young Master Grant remains bedridden for life, that's one thing.

But if he everrecovers and no longer needs to rely on a wheelchair, Mr.

Salvador, your position in
