Ch. 161..170

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 161-The screen of the intercom went dark, but Bella could still see Justin’s sullen eyes.

Bella thought, ‘What a jerk! How dare he threaten me with the divorce? He’s so despicable! Is he going to use the divorce certificate to manipulate me for the rest of my life?’ “Anna, I’m so sorry.” Ryan sniffed. His nose was red, and he still felt a little uneasy. “This is all my fault. I talked too much. I shouldn’t have told him…” “I don’t blame you.’ Bella took a deep breath and clenched her fists. “Justin is just a shameless jerk who can’t stand seeing me happy.” Ryan had always been an arrogant prince in front of other ingratiating women, who would be servile to him.

At this moment, when he saw Bella suppressing her anger, this haughty man finally knew what it felt like for the tables to be turned. He felt oppressed and flustered.

“Rumble–!” There was lightning and thunder outside, signaling that it was going to rain soon.

“Let’s continue eating. Let him be.” Bella turned away angrily.

Ryan stood there, glanced at the door, and suddenly came to his senses.

‘OMG! Am I a horrible friend for doing that to Justin?’ Soon, it rained heavily.

Bella and Ryan sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking tea and chatting.

“To be honest, I used to be a little biased against you. Before I got to know you, I didn’t know you were such an interesting person. Also, you’re kinder than I thought.” Bella spoke sincerely as she took a sip of tea.

“Anna, you actually think that I’m kind? Did I hear you right?!” Ryan was so excited that he could hardly speak coherently. “Anna, I’m so touched! I will remember this compliment forever, and I will carve it on my gravestone when I die!” “Stop talking. You’re making me consider taking it back.” Bella curled her pink lips.

“Anna, if you had met me before marrying Justin, would you fall in love with me? Would you give me a chance to pursue you?” Ryan took the opportunity to express his feelings and leaned forward slowly, approaching her.

He knew that he was not considered a good man, but for Anna’s sake, Ryan was willing to change his old ways and turn over a new leaf.

“No,” Bella answered decisively.

Splash– Ryan felt like she had splashed a bucket of cold water over his head. “Why?” “I wouldn’t love anyone, even without Justin.” Bella looked at the raindrops on the window with a calm expression.

The bond between her and Justin lasted for thirteen years, from their first meeting to their marriage and now divorce.

Bella gave that man her most passionate feelings, her brightest smile, and her youth being infatuated with him. Thus, she had no energy to love anyone else.

Some people were just cold-hearted.

Ryan stared blankly at her sad side profile and felt her pain.

Bella was only 24 years old, but the desolation in her eyes and the despair for love made her look like an old person approaching death.

Ryan thought, ‘Justin, why are you so cruel?’ “Ms. Bella!” Steven hurried over.

“Yes?” Bella’s eyes were a little empty as she returned to her senses.

“I think you should take a look outside.” Steven took Bella to the corridor on the other side of the house and stood in front of the window. ” Look! Is Justin crazy?!” Bella looked out. Her pupils suddenly shrank.

She saw Justin standing motionless next to his black sports car. His black tie was flying in the wind, and his black hair was a mess. He was completely drenched, but even so, he still stood there stiffly with a determined gaze. He was like a rock, unmoving regardless of the strong thunderstorm outside.

“Did he get struck by lightning? Why is he standing in the rain? Is he trying to gain pity points? Does he think that you’ll see him if he looks so miserable?! He’s so shameless!” Steven wanted to rush outside and beat him senseless in the rain.

“You’re right. He’s getting more shameless by the day.” Bella’s heart clenched, but she sneered and said, “If he is willing to stand there, he can stand all he wants. The time has come to test whether he’s a scumbag.’ At this time, Bella’s phone rang.

“Come out. I have something to tell you.” Justin’s voice was deep and mellow. She could still hear h over the heavy rain and strong winds.

“I have nothing to say to you!” At this moment, a ray of purple lightning struck the ground, making Bella’s face turn pale with fri

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 162-Strong winds, heavy rain, and purple lightning.

Bella recalled that Justin was standing under the tree just now.

What was even worse was that he still called her at this time. Was he really trying to get struck by lightning?

“Justin, I won’t go out to see you. Stop calling me and go home!” Bella’s eyes were red.

“I won’t leave until you come out.” Justin’s deep voice sounded determined.

“That crazy bastard!” Bella was livid as she hurried toward the stairs while cursing him.

“Ms. Bella!” Bella did not stop, even when Steven called out to her.

Justin clutched his phone tightly and frowned.

He stared intently in the direction of the villa door without moving.

Finally, the door opened.

Justin’s dark eyes suddenly lit up, and his breathing became heavier.

Bella put on a jacket and walked toward him with a huge black umbrella.

Her hair flew messily, and her body swayed in the strong wind. She looked as if she was about to be blown away.

However, she did not look timid at all. Instead, her expression was icy.

Justin could not help but feel surprised. He felt those bright eyes that shone like stars in the dark were familiar.

While he was in a daze, Bella walked up to him with a solemn face.

She was the proud heiress of KS Group. Her father was the richest man in Hatchbay, with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. She had four outstanding brothers who pampered her. Thus, Bella had always been the one controlling others. However, at this moment, she was being played emotionally by this man.

“Justin, do you have no common sense or are you mentally ill? Are you not afraid of getting struck by lightning?!” Bella was furious. She wanted to pounce on him and rip out his jugular.

Justin’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as he asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you care about me?” “Care about you? Hah!” Bella took a deep breath and sneered. “Don’t flatter yourself. I only came out to see you because I wanted to tell you to find someplace else to die. Don’t taint my door.” Her sharp tongue pierced his heart.

But even so, Justin felt that this side of Anna was cuter than the woman who lived like a puppet back then.

Curiosity was the beginning of love.

“Let’s talk in the car.” Justin lowered his eyes and saw that her clothes were soaked by the rain.

“No.” Bella refused sternly. “Please just say what you want to and get to the point. Hurry up!” “Get in!” Justin was even more stubborn than Bella was. He frowned and took a step forward.

At this moment, a ray of lightning struck the tree.

A loud rumble ensued when the thick tree branch broke and fell without warning.

The rain was too loud, and Bella was so focused on being mad at Justin that she did not realize she was in danger.

“Watch out!” Bella was startled. The next second, she felt Justin’s hot breath on her face.

Justin reacted quickly and shielded her in his strong embrace when the thick branch fell and hit his broad back.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 165-“Yeah, it’s not worth it…” Bella muttered absentmindedly.

Ryan took a deep breath. Bella’s gaze at this moment was so shattered that Ryan felt heartbroken.

“Anna, why don’t you try dating me?” Bella frowned slightly.

“Why don’t you try to accept me? Although I’m not a saint, I’m willing to be a better person for you!” Ryan thought that he was at least better than Justin “Ryan, I’m really tired. Please don’t make things difficult for me.” Bella looked at him with such sadness.

“Anna…” Ryan’s breathing hitched. His heart was filled with pity.

“It’s very late. I really want to go to bed. You should go home.” Bella pushed him away, turned around, and walked slowly toward the bedroom.

“Are you and Asher really dating? What is your relationship with him? Are you in a relationship with him, or are you just using him to take revenge on Justin?” Bella was startled. She clenched her fists and said, “None of this has anything to do with you.” “There is no trace of Asher living here. If he’s your boyfriend, why isn’t there a pair of his shoes at the door? How is it possible that there is no trace of him being with you here?” “I’ll say it again. None of this has anything to do with you, so you don’t need to worry about it.” “Anna! Don’t hurt yourself or do anything stupid.” Ryan’s voice was anxious. He had a bitterness in his throat.

Bella pursed her lips and left without looking back.

Justin drove back to Tideview Manor from Bella’s house. It was less than an hour’s journey, but he drove for two hours.

The severe headache made it almost impossible for him to see the road ahead. The heavy rain also interfered with his vision. He almost got into a car accident twice along the way home.

Justin stumbled into the study and knocked over the cups and documents on the table in search of his medicine. Finally, he found the medicine bottle and swallowed a few pills without washing it down with water.

He took double the prescribed amount, but his headache was not relieved at all.

–“Justin, if I’d known how despicable you were, I wouldn’t have married you in the first place!” “Ugh-!” Anna’s resentful words echoed in his mind. Justin’s strong and tall body curled up into a cocoon as he was overwhelmed by a splitting headache. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Wilma heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door of the study.

Seeing Justin in pain, Wilma felt so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.

“Young Master! What’s wrong? Do you have a headache again?” Justin’s mind was a mess, and he was incoherent. “Anna… Anna…” “Just hold on, Young Master! I’ll call your personal doctor right away!” Wilma’s face turned pale with fright as she rushed out the door. At this moment, she received a phone call.

It was an unfamiliar number.

“Who is it?” “Wilma, it’s me.” A gentle voice came.

“Young Madam? Is that you?!” Wilma was so excited that she covered her mouth in disbelief.

“Yes, it’s me, Anna.” “Young Madam… It’s really you! That’s great!” Wilma wiped away her tears and sobbed. “Please save the young master! He has a severe headache again. He’s completely delirious now. When you were with the young master, he hadn’t had a headache in a long time… Now that you’re gone, his headaches have gotten worse! What should I do?” “Wilma, don’t worry. Listen to me.” Bella took a deep breath and spoke in a calm voice, “Go to my room immediately. There’s a silver box in the drawer beside my bed with a set of silver needles that I used to treat Mr. Salvador’s headaches. There’s also a notebook under the box, which records the treatment methods and acupuncture locations in detail. I remember that you mentioned having studied some acupuncture before, so it shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?” “Yes, yes! I know acupuncture. I’ll get it right now!” “Wilma, Mr. Salvador was injured tonight. A tree branch fell on his back. Although he didn’t say anything, I think the injury is quite serious. I also have ointment for bruises in my drawer. You can apply it on him later. If it doesn’t get better after a few days, take him to the hospital to get it checked out.” “Yes, ma’am.” Wilma wiped her tears and felt disheartened.

Wilma thought, ‘Why did Young Master lose such a nice woman?’ “One last thing.” Bella sighed softly. “Please don’t tell Mr. Salvador that I called you tonight.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 163-“Ugh–!” Justin tried his best to endure it, but a painful groan still escaped from his throat.

Even so, Justin held Bella tightly without letting go.

Bella’s pupils shrank, and her heart was pounding. “Justin! Are you okay?!” “I’m fine. Get in the car.” Justin gritted his teeth to hold back the pain and stubbornly held her thin wrist.

It was pouring at the moment. Bella was completely speechless, so she could only follow Justin to the car.

In the dimly lit car, Bella could feel the humidity and smell Justin’s scent.

Justin took off his soaked suit and threw it in the passenger seat. His wet bangs covered half of his eyes. He looked so handsome, even when he was drenched.

Bella was still in shock. Her heart was sore and numb when she thought about how this man protected her at that critical moment.

During the three years of marriage, Justin had never held her.

She felt safe in his arms. Was this how Rosalind felt every day?

Thinking of this, Bella scoffed.

No matter how good it felt, Justin’s embrace belonged to someone else, so there was no point in thinking about it.

“Did Asher buy this villa for you?” Justin looked at her sideways, his voice cold.

“You clearly know the answer.

Bella crossed her arms and looked out the window. “How can a country girl like me afford to live in such a big house? Of course, Mr. Thompson is generous enough to give it to me.” “Since you have no place to live, why didn’t you accept the villa I wanted to give you?” Justin could not help but feel annoyed. He could not care less about the pain in his back.

“Why should I accept it?” Bella smiled and laughed lightly. “It’s only natural that I accept gifts from Asher, given the nature of our relationship. But why should I accept your gifts? Did you think that our marriage was a mere transaction? Justin, you’re really good at humiliating people. I didn’t spend a penny of yours during our marriage, so I won’t accept anything from you after the divorce.” “Anna, I didn’t mean to humiliate you. You’re overthinking it.

Justin took a breath. His deep eyes conveyed mixed emotions.

When he gave her the money, he was considerate enough to think that she had no savings, so it would be difficult for her to live in Savrow.

After all, he had nothing to give her except material things.

“That’s enough. If you just want to talk about this, I’m not in the mood to hear it. I’m leaving.” Bella no longer had the patience to waste her time with him, so she stretched out her hand to open the car door.

Justin felt anxious. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

“Ow!” Bella was shocked when she crashed into the man’s hard chest.

It hurts!

‘Why is this jerk’s chest so hard? Is he a rock? Luckily, I didn’t get a nose job. Otherwise, it would get crooked…’ “I’m sorry.” Justin’s voice was low and hoarse.

Bella’s heart suddenly trembled. She raised her eyes to look at him in shock. Her nose was red from the bump.

“What did you say?” After all, he had never apologized to anyone before. Thus, he was hesitant and added, “I’m apologizing to you on behalf of Rose for what happened last time. She shouldn’t have said that to you in public.” In an instant, Bella’s heart sank. She sneered. “Oh, you waited in the rain for so long just so you could apologize on behalf of your fiancée, huh? Well, I won’t accept your apology. So you’ve just wasted your trip.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 164-“Why?” Justin frowned.

God knew how long it took him to mentally prepare himself to say sorry to Anna. He even had insomnia for a whole week.

Justin planned to wait until the day of his grandfather’s birthday to tell Anna in person, but when he saw Ryan at her home tonight, he could not wait any longer and wanted to see her as soon as possible.

He did not know what was wrong with him. He had never been like this before.

His emotions were always easy to control. But lately, Justin gradually discovered that Anna seemed to hold the switch to his emotions.

“Rosalind should come and apologize to me in person. What does it mean for you to apologize to me on her behalf? Are you trying to show off your love for her?” Bella’s eyes were as cold as ice. “If she kills someone, will you go to jail for her too?” “Anna, I’m here to sincerely apologize to you!” Justin raised his voice, and his eyes were red.

“I think you’re deliberately trying to provoke me.

]] Bella laughed out loud. Her clear eyes glinted coldly in the night. “Justin, if you don’t understand what I’m saying, it’s better for you not to apologize. That word has no meaning coming from you.” “Anna, why are you picking on me?” Justin’s tone was harsh.

“You’re the one picking on me. I didn’t ask you to come here. You came here on your own accord to cause trouble.” Bella struggled to free her wrist, but her bones ached. “Let go! I’m going back inside.” “So what if I’m apologizing to you on her behalf? I’ve already humbled myself to this extent. What do you want for you to be satisfied?!” Justin could no longer control his anger. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her.

“Justin, I’ve never wanted your humility.” Bella thought to herself, ‘What I want is for you to love me, but I know that I will never get your love. I accepted it and finally let go, so why do you keep provoking me? Am I such a pushover to you?” Bella laughed bitterly, and her eyes turned red.

Her eyes were beautiful, and her gaze was scorching, burning Justin’s trembling heart.

“I want you to disappear from my world completely. Just leave. Goodbye.” Bella pushed Justin away, but he grabbed her wrist again. “How could I disappear? You and I have been married for three years. Our divorce will be on your record forever. You can’t erase the past!” “It’s possible if I want it to be. You might think that we’re divorced, but I think that I’m widowed.” Bella’s eyes were extremely contemptuous. It was as if he was an insignificant speck of dirt.

Justin’s eyes flickered. He felt like he had received a heavy blow. There was a buzzing sound in his ear, and his head hurt.

He took a breath. His hands were trembling with pain as he said, “Anna, if I don’t let you go, you will always have my name tied to yours! If I don’t divorce you, you can’t even think about starting a new life!” Slap-!

Bella tried hard to keep the tears from falling. Finally, she could not bear it any longer and slapped Justin hard on the face.

This was the second time she hit him, but her mood was completely different from the first time.

Her heart ached so much at this moment. It felt as if she had been stabbed by his words.

“Justin, if I’d known how despicable you were, I wouldn’t have married you in the first place!” Bella quickly got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

She did not even bother to hold an umbrella as she rushed back to the villa in the rain.

Justin’s head was tilted sideways from the slap, and he looked dumbfounded.

After some time, he bent his tall body and held his aching head while trembling. He looked so wretched and pitiful.

When Bella got back home, she avoided Steven and ran to her room.

As soon as she ran upstairs, she could not hold it in anymore. She held the wall with her left hand and clutched her robe with her right hand, panting as if she had been drowning. She tried hard to suppress her tears.

“Anna?” Ryan’s worried voice came from behind. Bella gritted her teeth and swallowed back her tears.

“I’m tired and want to rest, so I won’t send you off. Thanks for your gift.” “Anna… What’s wrong?” Ryan asked with a trembling heart.

“I’m fine. Goodnight.” “Anna!” Ryan caught up with her in long strides, grabbed her thin shoulders with both hands, and forced her to face him.

He was so strong that Bella felt dizzy from the spin. Her teary eyes were dazed and irritated.

She looked even more stunning like this.

“You cried?” Ryan stared at her, dumbfounded “No,” Bella replied coldly, but her red eyes betrayed her.

“Anna, did Justin make you angry? He’s such a stupid and stubborn man. Don’t bother with him. He’s not worth your tears.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 166-The next afternoon, Justin finally woke up.

That night, he had the same dream over and over again.

Justin was assigned a difficult task on the battlefield of Kridor. He and fifty other comrades sneaked into the enemy camp and wiped out the terrorists, successfully rescuing ten hostages.

Those terrorists were armed with heavy firearms. They were child soldiers who had started killing and dabbling in firearms at the age of five.

The desert was stained with blood. It looked like hell on earth.

Originally, Justin was not included in the mission, but he volunteered to join the mission and became a member of the “Suicide Squad”.

“Young man, are you married?” –“No.” “You’re not married, and you don’t have children yet. Why do you want to carry out this mission? All of us have families and children, so we still have a successor if anything happens to us.” At that time, Justin just smiled lightly. He did not care about death.

“Since I have no dependents, I have nothing to fear.” At that time, the two most important women in his life left him, one after another. His heart was dead, so he did not care if he died.

In comparison, he was more afraid of being left alone.

Later, all of them fought to the death, but only less than ten of them survived.

Justin was shot and stabbed in his legs, shoulders, and waist. Just as he thought he would die there, a girl in a white doctor’s coat saved him like an angel descended from heaven.

She wore a thick mask and had neat, short hair. The lab coat she was wearing was torn and dirty. She looked like a battle-damaged angel.

However, her beautiful eyes were sharp and as bright as the sun.

That woman was Justin’s savior, “the little dove”, whom he had been searching for since then.

Unexpectedly, Justin dreamed of the little dove again after meeting Anna last night.

They were obviously two unrelated people, but Justin saw the shadow of the little dove in Anna’s eyes. How strange!

Justin rubbed his temples tiredly and found that his head was no longer hurting.

At this time, Wilma came in with a medicine box.

Seeing that Justin had woken up and looked better, Wilma said happily, “Young Master, you’re awake! How are you feeling today?” “I’m fine…” Justin sat up with some help and was startled that he was already in pajamas.

“When did I change?” “I didn’t know where you went last night, but you came back drenched in water, so I helped you to change your clothes.” Wilma nagged while she tidied up the room. “You’re already thirty. Why do you still not know how to take care of yourself? You really need a wife…” Justin frowned and pulled his hair in frustration.

Last night, he remembered that he had a severe headache, so he went into the study to look for medicine. He could not remember what happened next.

“Wilma, did you change the clothes for me?” “Who else can do it?” Justin held his forehead in embarrassment. “Wilma, I’m thirty, not thirteen. Can you please stop taking off my clothes?” “Oh, you think that I took advantage of you? I’m old enough to be your mother, okay?” Wilma dissed him. “Do you think I want to change your clothes? You’re so heavy, like a dead weight. Also, I’ve grown tired of seeing your butt since you were in diapers.” Justin was speechless.

“Why did you kick Young Madam out? Now, you have no one to blame but yourself for not having someone to rely on and love you. When I die, you’ll be a neglected child. No one will care if you sleep in wet clothes or if you run around naked!” Justin was at a loss for words.

“Hurry up and take off your clothes!” “What do you want to do now?” Justin stepped back.

“I need to apply medicine to the wound on your back! This medicine has to be applied consistently to be effective. Take it off quickly!” Wilma spoke in a stern voice while holding the ointment that the young madam gave her.

Justin stared at Wilma. “How did you know that my back was injured?” “Of course…

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 167-Wilma remembered the young madam’s instructions and hurriedly changed her tune. “Of course, I saw it when I helped you change your clothes last night! That large bruise scared me to death!” Justin thought of that thrilling moment last night when he held Anna in his arms. Her breath was so hot, and her soft waist seemed to melt into his palm.

At that moment, he inexplicably wanted to protect her.

However, his eyes soon became cold again.

Justin was a man with strong self-esteem. He had already apologized, but Anna refused to accept his apology and even slapped him. She also humiliated him. This was unbearable.

He felt that his pity for her was unfounded.

At this time, the butler’s voice came from outside the door.

“Young Master, Mr. Ryan Hoffman is here to see you. He’s in the living room at the moment.” Justin pursed his thin lips and said, “Ask him to meet me in the study.” Bethany jumped in excitement when she found out about Ryan’s sudden visit.

She put on her newly bought, custom-made pink dress, applied makeup, and sprayed a lot of perfume before she happily went downstairs to see her crush.

As soon as Bethany opened the door and walked out, she saw her younger sister, Carrie, holding the ugly teddy bear and jumping around in the corridor as if she were playing hopscotch.

Bethany clicked her tongue in disgust, walked up behind Carrie, and pushed her hard.

“Ah!” Carrie lost her balance and stumbled forward, falling heavily to the ground. She looked clumsy and pitiful.

Even so, she still protected the little bear in her arms.

“Hahahaha! Carrie, I told you to stop jumping in the corridor. Look, you fell!” Bethany was in a good mood today. She flipped her wavy hair and walked around Carrie.

If Bethany was in a bad mood, she would have stepped on Carrie.

After Bethany left, Carrie slowly got up from the floor.

Over the years, Carrie figured out Bethany’s character. As long as Carrie acted silly and clumsy in front of Bethany, Bethany would look down on her and scold or beat her less.

“Ms. Carrie!” Upon seeing this, Wilma hurriedly ran over to help Carrie. Her eyes were filled with distress.

What’s wrong? How did you fall?

“I’m okay…” Carrie pursed her lips. “I was not careful…” “I saw Bethany passing by just now. Was she the one who pushed you?!” Wilma asked with red eyes filled with anger.

“No, no, no! I’m fine! I’m leaving!” When Carrie heard her sister’s name, she was so frightened that she hugged the teddy bear and ran away in despair, enduring the pain from the fall.

Wilma gritted her teeth and sighed when she saw Carrie’s pitiful and frail back.

Ryan wandered around the backyard for a while. When he walked back to the living room, she bumped into Bethany, whose face was glowing red.

“Mr. Hoffman!” Bethany smiled brightly. Her voice was sickeningly sweet. “Why are you here? Are you here to see my second brother?” “Of course,” Ryan responded casually.

He and Justin were as close as brothers. Thus, he understood the Salvador family dynamics.

Ryan knew that Shannon was a scheming person. As such, he disliked Bethany and treated her coldly.

However, Bethany felt that she was desirable due to her good looks and family background. Thus, if she were more proactive, it would only be a matter of time before she could win over Ryan.

She quietly pulled down the neckline of her dress and seized the opportunity to hug Ryan’s strong arm.

She pouted her red lips coquettishly and said, “Come one, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll take you to Justin.” Unexpectedly, Ryan glared at her with dark eyes.

“Let go of me! Your perfume is too pungent. I don’t want your scent to taint my clothes.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 168-Bethany’s carefully made-up face froze. Her heart trembled in fear.

“Also, are we that close? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to hug me like this?” Ryan’s eyes were cold as he forcefully pulled out his arm.

“Mr. Hoffman, I’m sorry. You’re my brother’s close friend, so I think of you as my brother too. I have no other intentions…” Bethany was afraid that Ryan would hate her, so she quickly explained herself.

“You’re his sister, not mine. Watch your behavior next time.” Ryan replied coldly, turned around, and left.

Anna had given him this suit. He could not bear to wash it, let alone allow others to get it dirty.

Bethany clenched her fists reluctantly. Her nails dug into her palms until they were almost bleeding.

Suddenly, Ryan stopped walking. He put one hand in his pants pocket and looked at Bethany with squinted eyes.

Bethany quickly flashed a bright smile. Her heart was beating with excitement.

She thought, ‘I knew it! Ryan only seems cold on the outside. He must have feelings for me.’ “I really don’t understand girls’ fashion these days.” “What?” Bethany was startled.

“I’ve heard of lipstick, but I thought it’s supposed to be used on the lips, not the teeth. I guess. I’ve learned something new today.” Ryan laughed jokingly and walked away gracefully.

Only then did Bethany return to her senses. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom and bared her teeth in the mirror.

That was when she saw lipstick sticking to her front teeth.

“Ah!” Bethany shouted in shame, wanting to smash the mirror.

Ryan opened the door and walked into the study. He sat on the sofa with his long legs stretched out, looking leisurely., “That third sister of yours is a real hooligan, molesting me the first moment she sees me. Tsk, tsk! Why are these women so unrestrained? I’m sure Anna wouldn’t do something like this.” Justin was reviewing the documents that Ian sent over. When he heard this, he looked up at Ryan coldly.

“What are you doing here?” “I’m here to see if you caught a cold from standing out in the rain all night.” Ryan narrowed eyes, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and held it between his lips.

his “Ryan, you’re quite smug, huh?” Justin’s face darkened as he tightened his grip on the “Hmm, yeah. At least I’m better than a certain someone who can’t even step foot into her house.” Ryan puffed out a cloud of smoke.

Justin was irritated and glared at Ryan with hostility.

pen.

Indeed, Justin had been married to Anna for three years, but he had to stand and wait for her outside in the rain and even get slapped.

Looking at it this way, Justin thought that Ryan was indeed better off than he was.

The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. He became infuriated.

Ryan crushed the cigarette butt in the crystal ashtray, stood up, and walked to Justin. He put his arms on the edge of the table and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Justin met his oppressive gaze calmly.

“Justin, I’m going to pursue Anna and make her mine.” Ryan’s eyes were bright and sharp. He wanted to cut-Justin open and take a closer look to see what was so great about him.

Justin treated Anna so badly. He neglected her for three years and forced her to get a divorce. Justin was a horrible husband.

Ryan was unconvinced.

Justin’s breath hitched. His knuckles turned white from gripping the pen too hard. “Don’t forget. She’s already with Asher.” “I don’t care, as long as she’s not with you.’ ]] Justin’s blood surged to his head, and his breath trembled.

“Asher and Anna aren’t married, so what if they’re together?” Ryan slowly approached Justin and raised his eyebrows. “You’re the obstacle here. Grandpa Nigel’s birthday is coming soon, and you’re about to marry Rosalind, but you still run over to Anna’s house and stand in the rain so pitifully. Why did you do that? Were you trying to reenact ‘The Notebook”?” Justin felt a bitterness in his heart. “I have my own reasons for seeing her.

))

“Justin, I don’t care what your reasons are. You have a fiancée, so you shouldn’t bother Anna anymore,” Ryan said bluntly.

2 “I won’t do that again.” Justin took a deep breath and frowned. “But I want to remind you that if you really like her, you shouldn’t cause her more trouble. Everyone in the Thompson family likes her very much. They’re looking forward to her marrying Asher, so your presence may create more obstacles for her to marry into a wealthy family.” “What the fuck?! Do you think the Thompson family is the only wealthy family around? What about my family?” Ryan raised his eyebrows and blurted out in anger. “Also, there is no way she will marry Asher!” “What did you say?” Justin keenly noticed something strange. He suddenly leaned forward in his chair and asked, Why did you say that?” “I have my reasons for saying this. I don’t think that she’s in that kind of relationship with Asher. I don’t think she likes Asher. She’s probably using Asher just to make you angry. If I were her, I would also find a new lover to provoke you and show you that even if you divorced me, I’m still desirable to other men!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 169-Ryan could not help but blush when he added, “More than one man too!” When Ryan went back last night, all he could think about was Anna’s words.

“Without Justin, I wouldn’t love anyone.” Ryan thought, ‘Why not? Why can’t she love anyone but Justin?!’ However, Ryan would not tell Justin this. Justin was already proud enough. If he found out, he would be insufferable.

Justin’s heart clenched, and the pain gradually spread throughout his body.

‘Anna, is that how you think? You would rather sacrifice a lifetime of happiness just to get revenge on me?’ KS World Hotel’s business was booming. Their occupancy rate was 40% higher than before, and the restaurant was full every day.

The employees were very motivated. After all, Bethany’s public apology made them feel like they were not lowly workers. Their general manager would stand up for them if they were bullied.

Thus, with that morale and cohesiveness, the hotel was doing much better than before.

Bella sat leisurely in her office, looking at this month’s financial report with a bright smile on her face.

After all, she was one step closer to being the CEO of KS Group by doing a good job in the hotel.

Bella had always been an ambitious person. She was once trapped in a boring family life, so now that she saw the light of day again, she was unstoppable.

“Ms. Bella, Mr. Asher is here.” Steven invited Asher in with a smile.

“Ash!” Bella flew to her elder brother like a cheerful little butterfly and gave him a big hug.

“How are you? Have you been tired lately?” Asher held his sister’s waist gently.

“No, I don’t feel tired. If I complain about this bit of work, how will I be able to survive when I become the CEO of KS Group?” After Bella finished speaking, she blinked her bright eyes and covered her mouth. “Oh, oops. Ash, I didn’t mean to rush your resignation. If you want to continue being the CEO, I’m willing to be your deputy.” “I’m just afraid that you’ll give up.” Asher pinched the tip of her nose lovingly and said, “I’m afraid you’ll want to travel around the world again, and then I’ll have to postpone my retirement.” “No way.” Bella pursed her lips guiltily. “I was too willful in the past. I only cared about my own happiness and didn’t care about your feelings at all. I promise not to do this again. As the heiress of KS Group, I should shoulder the responsibilities of our family. I will no longer act on my own will.” She had paid the price for her willfulness, and it was a painful lesson.

Before she finished speaking, her phone rang on the table.

“Hold on. I need to take a call.” Bella let go of Asher, walked to the table, and picked up her phone.

It was Wilma calling. Bella hesitantly answered, “Hello, Wilma.” “Young Madam.” Wilma missed Anna.

“I’ve divorced Mr. Salvador, so you should call me Anna from now on.” Bella corrected Wilma in a gentle voice.

“Sorry, it’s a habit. I’m sorry, Ms. Brown.” “It’s alright. What’s wrong, Wilma?” “I did acupuncture on the young master with the needle you left for me. It’s truly miraculous. The young master’s headache was cured! I also used the ointment on the young master’s bruises, which have faded a bit.” “Really? That’s great.” Bella was reluctant to talk to Wilma about Justin, so she said, “Wilma, I’m busy right now. I’ll call you when I have time, okay?” “Young Madam!” Wilma suddenly called out to her anxiously. “Is there really no possibility of you two getting back together?” Bella said calmly, “Yeah.” “Since you left, the house has become a mess again. No one cares about the young master besides me. He doesn’t listen to me when I advise him to take good care of his health… “He didn’t listen to me either when I tried to persuade him before.” Bella smiled faintly and said, “You’ll just need to put in more effort in the future.” “Not only that, no one takes care of Ms. Carrie either…” Carrie.

Bella felt a little uneasy when she thought of the cute, autistic girl.

“The chairman is too busy, Shannon doesn’t care about Carrie, and Bethany bullies her all the time. The injuries on Carrie’s body are all caused by Bethany!” Wilma almost burst into tears. “The young master is busy with work and is seldom at home, so no one can protect Ms. Carrie. Although I feel sorry for her, I’m just a servant in the house, and Bethany is the master. I can’t say much.” After Bella heard this, her charming eyes turned bloodshot, and she clenched her fists fiercely.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 170-Bella thought, ‘Bethany, you’re a monster for bullying your sister!’ “Wilma, I understand your worries, but I’m no longer married to Mr. Salvador. I am just an outsider and have no right to interfere with his family matters.” Bella was angry when she heard what Bethany did to Carrie, but she had no choice but to step away.

“I know… But who else can I count on besides you? Who else can I talk to?” Wilma was about to cry.

“Wilma, please don’t cry.” Bella felt uncomfortable when she heard Wilma’s sobbing voice over the phone. So she comforted Wilma and said, “You’ll have to take care of Carrie. If I find an opportunity, I will definitely try my best to help her.” “Thank you, Young Madam!” Wilma was grateful to her and hung up reluctantly.

Bella looked at the dimmed screen and sighed quietly.

“Is that the old nanny in the Salvadors’ residence that you often talked about before?” Asher took a sip of tea and asked with concern.

“Yeah, she has taken care of Justin since he was little. She’s an honest and kind-hearted woman. She was also very nice to me when I was living with the Salvadors.” Bella was like this. If someone offended her, she would retaliate. If someone treated her well, she would remember their kindness forever.

“It seems like Wilma is in a difficult position if she actually called you to complain.” “It’s about Carrie Salvador, Justin’s youngest sister.” Bella’s heart ached again when she thought of that innocent and clueless girl. “She’s autistic, withdrawn, and introverted. Although she’s Gregory and Shannon’s daughter, they don’t pay attention to her. When I was staying with them, I could still protect her from Bethany, who showed some restraint back then. Now that I’m no longer there to protect Carrie, Bethany is getting more unscrupulous.” “Although what’s happening to Carrie sounds pitiful, this is the Salvador family’s affairs.” Asher sighed helplessly. His clear eyes were full of worry for his sister. “You and Justin are divorced, so it’s better to remove yourself from his family matters.” “I know what to do. By the way, why did you come here? Aren’t you busy at the headquarters? Do you miss me?” Bella walked around behind Asher and naturally put her arms around his neck.

“Of course, I miss you. But I came because I received this early in the morning, and I think I should discuss it with you.’ Asher smiled gently, took out an invitation from his jacket, and handed it to her.

“This is…” Bella was stunned.

“Gregory Salvador’s secretary personally delivered Old Master Nigel’s birthday invitation to me.” His tone was a bit skeptical, even as he smiled.

“Hah! I guess I got you involved after all.” Bella sneered and saw through their schemes. “The Salvador family and the Thompson family have always been at odds with each other. We’re well-known business rivals and haven’t had any contact for so many years. Why did Gregory invite you to Grandpa Nigel’s birthday party this time? It’s clear that Gregory didn’t do this. I’m afraid he’s coerced by his wife.” Asher touched his chiseled jaw and said, “Bella, since they have bad intentions. I’m afraid that something will happen at the party.” “We’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’m not even scared of Justin, so why should I be afraid of Shannon, the outdated D-list celebrity?” Bella sat next to Asher and smiled smugly. “I know how to deal with her. If she wants to play dirty, I’ll just let her be. Asher, I’ll tear this invitation up for you. Just pretend you haven’t seen it and don’t go.” “No, I decided to go,” Asher said with determination.

“What?!” “Bella, we have never been afraid of a challenge. We’re unyielding and should face our problems head-on.” Asher’s gentle eyes were filled with distress. He placed his big palm on the back of Bella’s neck and gently rubbed it. “I didn’t know about the grievances you suffered in the past and failed to protect you. Now that you’re back with us, I won’t let you suffer anymore.” “Ash…” Bella’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she felt touched.

Asher sighed and hugged his sister. “Something unexpected might happen at the birthday banquet. If you go alone, you may be bullied by them, so I don’t want you to be in that kind of situation anymore.” Bella rubbed her eyes and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She had never lacked love.

She was just so obsessed with making Justin fall in love with her that she got herself into this mess.
