Ch. 1611..1620

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1611-Bella's arm paused midair, and her gaze narrowed.

Aaron's taunts rubbed Bella off the wrong way, but thanks to her solid relationship with Justin, she had better control over her emotions. She quickly got over the rage.

Though Bella was willing to let things go, Justin was not.

He gripped Bella's hand and pulled her into his arms, his arm firmly around her shoulders. His eyes fixated on Aaron's firmly.

"Oh, so this is the value your family adheres to. Here I thought you were cocky and rude."

Aaron furrowed his brows. "What did you say?"

"Was I wrong?"

Justin's authority overwhelmed Aaron. "I don't care how close your families are, but I know Bella is a graceful, intelligent girl with manners. Bella would never turn her back on people unless there was a reason to. You disrespected her, so you're the problem. You're a respectable man who is older than Bella. You're only embarrassing yourself."

Bella looked deep into Justin's eyes, her eyes welling up emotionally.

She was tempted to jump on him in public and bombard him with kisses.

"You!"

Aaron jolted up from the sofa and glared at Justin.

"Aaron!"

Amid the tension, Arnold grimacingly entered the room.

Mila was a few steps behind Arnold.

She stopped and kept her distance the moment her gaze fell on Aaron.

Upon learning that a member of the Larson family had set foot into the Thompsons' residence, Celeste, Sasha, Amelia, and Steven came out to stop the situation from getting out of hand.

It was uncommon for the Larsons to show up at Yara Park.

Not part of the Thompson family, Justin was unaware of the severity of the matter. However, anxiety gnawed at Bella.

"We can talk outside, Aaron." Arnold approached Aaron with a long face and murmured.

Aaron slipped his hand into the pocket of his pants before slowly turning to face Arnold.

Then came a smack.

The group was lost for words.

Aaron slapped Arnold in front of everyone, and the resounding noise echoed across the room.

"You're an embarrassment! Did you forget what Grandpa and Dad swear on?"

Aaron seemed determined to make things difficult for Arnold. Instead of taking their family matters outside, Aaron insisted on causing a scene and picking on Arnold. "Don't think I'm being harsh, especially after you insulted Grandpa and Dad. your brother, I need to put you in your place."

Mila's heart went out to Arnold, her favorite nephew, for taking a beating from Aaron.

She called Aaron over, but it never occurred to her that Aaron would be so savage as to hit Arnold at Yara Park.

Unable to hold herself back, Mila went up to defend Arnold.

However, she had taken an oath.

She was no longer a Larson when she left her family to be with Wyatt. The family had nothing to do with her anymore.

Arnold clenched his shaking fists and hung his head low.

The confidence and swag he carried were no more.

"Communicate with your words, not fists, Mr. Larson." Bella's eyes were bloodshot from rage. She took a step forward, only to be held back by Justin. He was not against sticking up for Arnold.

However, Aaron looked like he had lost his mind. Justin was concerned that Aaron might harm Bella.

"I'm educating my family. Stay out of it." Aaron scoffed and insinuated, "We can't have another shameless and disgraced scum in the family. unless Arnold wants to turn his back on the family too. I have the duty to steer him to the right path."

"Hey! What the hell are you talking about? Who are you calling shameless and disgraced? I dare you to say that again!" Sasha charged ahead infuriatingly, bu net Celeste and Amelia held her arms and yanked her back. "I'll crush you. Just try me!"

Aaron sneered in disdain.

"Stop it, Aaron. You can take your grievance with me."

Arnold took a deep breath, his eyes and body strained. "It was my idea. I wanted to be here wanted to treat Chairman Thompson. Aunt Mila has nothing to do with any of this. Don't get her involved." "Get out," Aaron reproached sternly.

The shameless and disgraced scum comment, clearly a referencertol Mila, quit her eep. The Thompsons picked up on that.

Arnold did not want to leave.

Nevertheless, his refusal to leave would put Mila and the Thompsons in trouble.

Arnold moved along with heavy footsteps. He quickly turned around and scanned the room.

To him, these women, like Mila, were Wyatt's side chicks, They were not worthy chough to speak to him.

Asher was not there during Arnold's most difficult moment.

Arnold wondered if Asher would not see him off.

Did Asher not want him anymore?

Aaron drew close to Mila with a menacing look.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1612-"Aunt Mila."

The air hung heavy with a suffocating silence.

Gritting her teeth, Mila stared at Aaron's smirking face.

She knew that his use of "aunt" was not to show her respect. Instead, he would not come off as mean and would keep up appearances as the good eldest grandson.

"It's been two days since Grandpa stormed off to bed in a rage. He hasn't eaten anything since finding out what Arnold did. You can imagine his anger."

Aaron's piercing gaze was icy. "The last time Grandpa was so angry was when you insisted on being with Chairman Thompson. You knew Chairman Thompson was married, but you humiliated yourself and your family to be Chairman Thompson's side piece."

He labeled Mila insultingly.

Mila went white, but she did not back down.

She was no longer part of the Larson family. No one could tear her down.

Bella shook with rage.

She was furious at that point in time. Blood rushed to her head.

Justin furrowed his brows and locked fingers with Bella.

He had a good read of the situation. Due to Wyatt's relationship with Mila, the Larsons held animosity toward the Thompsons.

Arnold yelled furiously, "That's enough, Aaron! I'm going back with you. What more do you want?"

Aaron put his finger in front of Arnold's face with a frown. "Shut up! It's not your place to talk."

Bella gave Aaron a dirty look.

It dawned on her why Arnold would rather build a career abroad on his own than go back to the Larson family and take his career to new heights through his family.

The Larsons drained the life of Arnold.

"Can you be any more foolish?"

Sasha broke free from Celeste and Amelia and darted toward Aaron angrily.

However, Steven managed to get in her way. Only a 6-foot-tall man could stop her.

Aaron turned to Mila with a smirk. "Aunt Mila, Dad sent me here to take Arnold back and pass a message to you. He said that since you were dead set on breaking ties with the family, you should keep to your word. Stop trying to look for excuses and ways to squirm your way back in.

"Back when Ms. Bella miscarried and was close to having her entire uterus removed due to a rupture, you kneeled outside Grandpa's courtyard in the snowstorm for three whole days on a hunger strike. He gave you the drug to save MS. Bella only because you were once his favorite daughter. Have you forgotten that?"

The air was thick with tension.

The sensation of pain flooded Bella's senses.

Justin's eyes widened. The taste of blood surged up his throat.

He buried his head low and closed his red-rimmed eyes in agony as his chest felt heavy.

"It's okay." A whisper echoed in his ear.

Bella gripped his cold hands, her voice strained. "It's okay, Justin. It's all in the past."

It only pained him further to see her make light of her past hurt.

It took him until now to realize that his indifference and cruelty caused Bella to lose their only child and her privilege of being a mother.

He nearly left her damaged.

Mila, Sasha, and Celeste knew about the whole thing, but the rest of the family was left in the dark.

"Bella…' " Amelia was the first to break into tears. Sensitive, she covered her mouth as tears rolled down her cheeks. In the end, she cried in Steven's arms.

While consoling Amelia, Steven teared up as well.

"Enough, Aaron!" Mila had an outburst.

"Dad wanted me to relay the message. Otherwise, I wouldn't even come here and waste my breath with you."

Aaron lifted his chin arrogantly and eyed Mila's discolored face. "Your actions are on yoy Neone orded yputo, take an oath. You begged and pleaded, nearly losing your life, to get help from Grandpa. You should take a hint instead of pushing your luck."

He had no respect for his elders.

Aaron took pride in being part of the Larson family. He was highty favored in the farily, so he could follow through with his words.

"Arnold is young and impressionable. He doesn't know his boundaries. If you really love him, dead him astray and put him in a difficult spot, Aunt Mila."

Aaron scoffed and walked out.

"Hold it right there!"

Bella stopped him.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1613-Aaron stopped in his tracks.

His patience was tested.

Bella shook off Justin's arm and approached Aaron aggressively.

She raised her arm, her eyes bulging, and gave Aaron two slaps with all her might.

Everybody, including Justin, was stunned.

Even Aaron was taken aback by the sudden attack.

His burning cheek, buzzing ears, and bloodied lips woke him up from the trance.

'She slapped me?!'

"Bella!"

Feeling humiliated and angry, Aaron put his hand over his face and was on the verge of blowing up. Justin raced to Bella's side and held her tightly in his arms, his menacing gaze meeting Aaron's. Intimidated by Justin's piercing eyes, Aaron lost himself to fear for a moment.

"The first one is for Arnold. I don't care about your relationship with him, but he's like a brother to me. He's my friend! If you think you can walk out of here like nothing ever happened, you have to go through me." Bella commanded attention.

"Wow! You're amazing, Bella!" Sasha cried excitedly.

If no one would put Aaron in his place, Sasha was ready to make him pay.

"Bella…" Tears filled Arnold's eyes.

It was absurd.

Arnold had never received love in his family, but during his time with the Thompsons, he experienced care and validation like never before.

"The second slap is for Aunt Mila."

The pain Mila went through for Bella only fueled her to slap Aaron down from his high horse. "I don't care about your family rules. But this is my home, and Aunt Mila is my family How dare you insult her?! Did you think we wouldn't do anything about it? I went easy on you, but I'm not going to hold back if you put on that tough guy act again."

She was domineering.

Justin's eyes sparkled as a wave of emotions overcame him, even though he was worried that Bella's hand might be hurting.

"You!"

Aaron was a highly educated elite. He had never been insulted.

He was above petty squabbles. Hence, he pointed at Bella's beautiful face, his voice strained. "You are indebted to my family. Yet, you have the nerve to raise your hand at me.

You're ungrateful! Your fami UMS bully!"

"Ungrateful?" Displeased, Justin said, "As you said, Mila begged your

is a

grandfather for the drug. In other velmet words, Bella should be grateful.

Mila, in any case, your grandfather. What does it have to do with you?"

Aaron pulled a long face.

Bella said sarcastically, "I'm indebted to your family? In that case, ygum should remove my uterus. I don't see the point of keeping it anyway. I don't want kids. You can take it!" "Psycho!"

Unable to win physically and verbally, Aaron ran away witky his tailtucked between his legs.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1614-Arnold took one long, hard look at Bella before walking out of Yara Park without looking back.

Little did everybody know, Asher stood by the railing upstairs, gripping the bar tightly.

The pain of watching Arnold leave ripped his heart open.

Reaching a breaking point, Aaron stepped out of the house and spat out blood.

Bella sure did not hold back from hitting him.

Arnold curled his lips, but Aaron caught him in the act.

Aaron stared intently at Arnold. "Smile all you want now. Once we get home to Grandpa and Dad, you won't be smiling any longer."

Yara Park was missing some laughter due to Arnold's absence.

"Where was Wyatt when his woman was bullied?" Bella brewed with rage. "He should be the one to face his enemy."

Sasha replied, "Don't blame your father, Bella. He's hard at labor."

Everyone was lost for words.

Sasha was better off saying Wyatt was working or in the office.

She turned a business mogul into a laborer.

Bella's eyes widened. "Has he lost it? He hasn't given himself time to recover, and he's back at work already?! Arnold said he needed rest. What's with all the rush?" Though Bella was not saying the nicest things, her words reflected concern.

The mention of Arnold put everybody's spirits down.

Sasha sighed and put her arm around Mila's waist. "Why are the Larson's so stubborn, Mila? They are such a stick in the mud. Would it kill them to be openminded?"

"I'm not part of the Larson family, not since a long time ago.” Mila smiled wryly. "I should change my last name when I have time tomorrow."

move.net "Aunt Mila." Bella looked at her with a serious face. "What's going on? How did Aaron find out that Arnold was here?"

Mila bit her lips, her voice bearing emotions. "I told him."

The group was shocked. "Why?"

"I have my reasons. Don't worry. Even if Arnold goes back, he won't cut communications with you."

Mila's eyes flickered. "Arnold is no longer a child. The Larson het control him anymore. Once retums to Meridan, you can fly to him if you need anything."

Bella observed Mila's expression, getting the feeling that ghe was hot upfrontlabouteverything.

Mila could have gotten Arnold removed a long time ago.

Why did she wait until now and react in the most drastic manner?

Amid Bella's contemplation, heavy footsteps approached.

Asher took strides to the door.

"Where are you going, Ash?" Bella cried.

Asher cocked his head back and spoke hoarsely, "I need Do, head out for a bit

He then left the living room.

Bella was taken aback. She wondered if her eyes had deceived her.

Asher's eyes were red

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1615-After settling Mila down, Bella and Justin returned to their room.Locking the door behind them, Bella was about to voice her concern when Justin held her and sealed her lips. Bella slowly closed her eyes and clung to him by wrapping her arms around his neck. She melted in his arms.He carefully picked her up as if she would disappear out of his sight.It was a deep, lingering kiss.The air was filled with heavy panting and moaning. His breath, his skin beneath his clothes, and his tongue engulfed all of Bella's senses.When the long kiss nearly drained the air out of Bella's lungs, Justin restrained himself from taking things further and released her."I-It's the time of the month. I can't."Sensing the change in Justin's body, Bella blushed and twirled his necktie around her finger. "If you want, I can help you in another way." Justin shook his head in tears and kissed her forehead, nose tip, and the corner of her lips..."Justin, you...""Does it still hurt here?"Justin's shaky palm brushed against her flat stomach, and the warm sensation gave her the tingles.Reading between the lines, Bella felt a lump in her throat. Still, she said with a faint smile, "It doesn't. The pain left me a long time ago.""I'm an idiot. I'm the worst." Despite his restraint, Justin could not stop the tears from rolling down his face."I still don't know the extent of the suffering you went through.Sove one to kneel before the Larsons shouldn't have been Aunt Mila, but me.""What are you talking about? Why should you kneel to them?" Bella whined and knocked his forehead with her finger. "I was still out of it from the surgery. I had no idea what happened. Had I known Aunt Mila went to beg the Larsons, I would rather forgo my uterus than let her do that."The past still crept up on Bella. She came off harsh because she cared about Mila. "I know she did it for me, but if it came at the cost of her dignity, I would rather she didn't." Distressed, Justin caressed her face.Back then, Bella begged him not to go through with divorce, but he cast her aside anyway. He was trampling on her dignity too.All she wanted was to stay by his side."It's just strange. I can't shake off this strange feeling."Bella changed the subject and put her finger on her chin in

contemplation. "Aunt Mila is acting strange, and so is Arnold. Ash is not himself either, have a feeling that Aunt Mila and Ash are hiding something from us."

Justin gave it some thought and replied, "Maybe something is going on with the Larson fardly, andPthey didn't want us involved. Asher is close to Dr. Larson. He must be upset that Dr. Larson is gone." "They are close."

Arnold would lean close to Asher to talk and make him laugh, like they"

were lovers.Heck, Bella believed they were never seen without each other.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1616-Well, Bella was not one to pry into her brother's relationships. Otherwise, she would be keeping an eye on Asher and Arnold's blossoming love.

"I didn't expect Aaron to burst into the place and act cocky, though." Justin carried Bella to the sofa to sit down. With Bella sitting on his lap, Justin put his hand on her belly and gave her a gentle rub. He narrowed his eyes at the thought of the earlier confrontation.

Thank goodness Bella was not on the losing end. Otherwise, Justin would have a say about it.

"Hmph! I smacked him back into his place."

Bella hung her arms around the neck of his neck and nuzzled up to his neck, her warm breath against his skin sending fire to his loins.

"The Larsons are cocky for a few reasons. They've been on a roll lately, with several successful medical research projects under their belt. I heard they are close to developing a new drug for Parkinson's. Once they succeed, their pharmaceutical empire will become global. Their wealth will grow exponentially.

Their success fuels their arrogance. Our achievements are nothing compared to theirs, even with our families put together."

"I can understand them getting carried away by success, but they should only gloat when that happens."

Justin smirked. "Salvador Corporation doesn't dabble in anything pharmaceutical, but I know it takes countless experiments to develop a drug.

There are a lot of bureaucratic tapes to go through. It's too early to determine whether the Larsons can handle the stress that comes with success."

"Aunt Mila has been with him for many years. I bet Wyatt feels bad that he can't make Aunt Mila his wife. The Larsons took advantage of that fact and sent Aaron to do a little manipulating."

Bella slapped her thigh in frustration. "Wyatt doesn't give himself a break. I'm mad that he went to work before he was cleared. Why do we even bother about him when he doesn't take care of himself?" "Don't worry, Bella. Quentin is there to look out for him. Wyatt will be fine."

Justin gave her a squeeze. "It's early. Why don't you take a little nap? We can pick Wyatt up when you wake up, okay?"

Bella kissed him, her eyes reflecting relief and joy.

…

Although all was looking well with Wyatt at KS Group's headquarters in Hatchbay, he had not quite bounced back yet.

However, he had to show up to instill the the employees before encouraged his enemies to stir panic. Content belo After a round of inspection and a board d to hang, Wyatt did not s hieunch and swiftly returned to for rest.

ent belongs He took off his jacket and sank his back on the sofa. Sweat drenched his shirt as he felt drained.

"I think this is it for me, Quentin." Wyatt smiled wryly.

It felt like a gut punch to Quentin.

"Don't say that. You had a stroke.

You'll be fine if you keep up with the treatment. You're abak age where illnesses are not avoidable. Logan often gets admitted to the hospital. I heard that Lance has cardia@issues.

He's a frequent visitor at the hospital too. I doubt he's healthier than you.

Don't give up on yourself."

"Logan is pretty old. How can you compare me to him?"

"How do you feel, Chairman Thompson? Are you afright?" Quentin rushed pren with water and medicine for Wyatt.

Wyatt frowned. "Hmph! As for Lance, he deserves it."

Quentin smiled faintly without saying another word.

"I'm not trying to scare you, but I the gene no glast at beine

 

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1617-Wyatt barely had a good hold of his glass. "It's time I updated my will."

Quentin felt a lump in his throat. "Chairman Thompson."

"Don't be alarmed. It's the same with business moguls all around the world. I should get a will in order at this age, just in case."

Wyatt looked solemnly at Quentin. "I can't tell Mila, Sasha, and Celeste because they are too kind to handle it. I can't let the children know either. I might be surrounded by power and riches, but I have caused them a lot of pain. I know my faults. I can only talk to you about it. I trust you."

Quentin uttered in distress, "You told me that you want to watch your children build their families and empires. You want to hold your grandchildren…”

"That's going to be a long wait. Ash, Axel, Ralph, and Drew are either focused on their work or being bachelors. They just won't stop pissing me off."

Wyatt sighed. "Now that I think about it, only Bella takes marriage seriously. It's a shame="

Quentin's phone vibrated, and he took the call.

Seconds later, he grimaced. "Got it."

Wyatt asked, "What happened?"

"Chairman Thompson." Quentin paused. "Mr. Christopher Iverson is here. He's downstairs."

Wyatt gnashed his teeth, his face falling.

"If you don't want to see him, I'll go to the lobby and refuse him."

"He can come up."

Quentin was surprised. "Chairman Thompson, we can't figure Mr. Iverson out.

You have only better. Don't force you t "I need to see him."

Wyatt put the glass heavily on the coffee table, his emotions hiding behind his eyes. "He's here as the CEO of the Iverson Group, not the heir of the Iverson family. Times have changed, so I can't refuse his visit Besides, he is cunning.

He shows up to visit the moment I get better. That's spying. If I decline to meet with him, it will give him something to talk about and speculate about."

Ten minutes later, Christopher, dressed in a tailored suit, entered Wyatt's office, bearing a gift.

"Congratulations on your recovery, Wyatt." Christopher grinned warmly. He acted like nothing ever happened between them.

"Thank you, Mr. Iverson. I'd prefer if

you addressed me as Chairman Thompson or Mr. ThompsonOWyatt sat behick the desk, looking sharp and authoritative as always.

Christopher's smile broadened. "Wyatt."

Wyatt furrowed his brows.

Christopher was such a rebel.

He did the opposite of what Wyatt asked for on purpose.

"You might be discharged from the hospital, but you don'tdook tod good.

You are breathless when you talk."

With his eyes glistening maliciously, Christopher inched closer to wyatt.

"The strokemust have gotten you in bad shape this time."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1618-The air was thick with tension.

Wyatt's expression was icy. "Do you wish I didn't get better, Mr. Iverson?"

Christopher responded with a smile, "You're imagining it, Wyatt. Why would I be so narrow-minded? You're Bella's father, and Bella is the love of my life. I sincerely hope you remain in the best of health and live long."

Quentin looked Christopher dead in the eye with furrowed brows.

Christopher sounded concerned, but nothing good ever came out of his mouth.

"You're stubborn, Mr. Iverson."

Wyatt tensed up under his suit, but his words were biting. "But your stubbornness is becoming an obsession. I told you that you can't force romance.

Bella is a proud woman. You can pull all the stops, but she will never look your way if she's not interested."

The smile on Christopher's face froze as humiliation washed over him.

"Everybody knows that Bella is dating Justin now, and they are talking about marriage. No one can come between them."

Wyatt talked about Justin with affection.

It sounded like Wyatt and Justin were close.

The father-in-law seemed to be getting along with the son-in-law.

Hit with resentment, Christopher was about to say something when Wyatt snapped. "You're no longer the little boy who followed my daughter around.

Bella has Justin now. It's inappropriate of you to call her the love of your life."

Wyatt even gave Christopher a stern warning right outside Yara Park.

This time, he crushed Christopher's last hope.

Christopher gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

A while later, he smiled. "I don't expect you to remember all the nice things have done, but you don't need to be so cold and heartless to your lifesaver. Besides, I have always respected you."

Lifesaver?

Wyatt and Quentin were taken aback.

lifesavin "Didn't Bella tell you that I brought drug when you were unconscious and showing of waking up? The drug sa ne life."

Christopher smiled faintly. "Come to think of it, she wouldn't tell you. She will only remember the good in Justin."

Wyatt's cheeks burned with shame and rage.

The manipulation frustrated Wyatt, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"If you did it, thank you."

"I know that your illness is serious.

You can suffer, numbness and paralysis in the later stages. Haying been sugggssfutall your life, you certainly don't want to let the disease get the better of you. While you were battling your illness, your family was in distress. Bella couldn't stop crying, and I felt bad for her."

lineWyatt's arms on the armchair trembled, and his composed o M exprassion stiffened.

Christopher sighed.

Anxiety gnawed at Quentin.

"How about a deal for the sake of you and your family?" Christopher nudged his glasses up and smiled wickedly.

Wyatt said in a chilling tone, "What do you want?”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1619-"I know feelings can't be forced. I love Bella, but I never forced her to be with me. As her most devoted suitor, I can't stand Bella dating a monster like Justin.” With a grimacing look, Christopher put a box on the table. "Inside is the drug that saved you. The three syringes should be enough to stabilize your condition.

The drug can't be obtained easily, even with money. It's hard enough to get one syringe, much less three. The only thing you need to do is promise me that Bella will not marry Justin. I can guarantee that you will get a supply of this drug for many years to come, and you will live long."

Christopher's eyes flickered with ruthlessness. "I will give my blessing to whoever Bella marries, just not Justin."

Wyatt's hand shook violently as his world turned upside down. "Are you threatening me, Christopher? Are you asking me to sacrifice my daughter's happiness to save my own life? You are so full of yourself. So what if I have blood clots clogging blood flow? Even if I have cancer, I will never destroy Bella's happiness just to live a few more years. Why would I live for her to hate me? Show him the door, Quentin!" Quentin approached with a scowl. "This way, please, Mr. Iverson."

Christopher grabbed the box on the table with a scoff and narrowed his eyes at Wyatt's discolored face. "I'm only doing this for Bella's own good, Chairman Thompson. Your indulgence will only harm your beloved daughter."

"Please leave, Mr. Iverson." Even Quentin was livid.

"You shouldn't be quick to decline. You should think more about yourself and keep your options open. One day, you'll regret turning my offer down."

Christopher turned around, his smile not reaching his eyes. "I might not give you the drug even if you beg then."

He then took off.

Once the door closed, Wyatt could not stop the emotions from riding rough through him.

"Q-Quentin, the meds!"

Not long after Christopher left the office, he ran into Bella and Justin.

A slow unease settled over the corridor.

"What are you doing here, Christopher?" With her internal alarm bells ringing off the charts, Bella confronted him with rage.

"I heard of Wyatt's hospital discharge, so I brought him a gift and visited him."

Christopher tucked away his malice and looked sincere. "Besides, I'm the CEO of the Iverson Group now. f.call the shots in the company. I came here to talk about future business opportunities."

Justin lowered his gaze to the medicinal box in his hand.

He had a bad feeling.

"Visit? I think you're up to no good."

Bella's eyes burned with rage. "If you don't want to die, get away from me.

KS Group will nevery arther with the Iverson Group! You better hold onto your family's empire before strip everything off you."

Bella then shoved him out of the way and took Justin's hand to moyem along. Christopher's back hit the cold wall'as the emotional turmoil overwhelmed him.

The couple walked into the office to find Wyatt lying on the sofa in pain.

Quentin kngeled oh one knee by his side kneading his body to ease his agony.

"Dad!"

"Wyatt!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1620-"What happened, Quentin? What's wrong with Dad?" Bella sat by the sofa and held her father's cold hand, her heart going out to him.

"I'm fine, Bella." Wyatt pulled himself together to smile at his daughter.

Panic stirred within Bella. "You're fine? You're whiter than Casper the Friendly Ghost!"

The three men were lost for words.

The tension in the air somehow dissolved into something comical.

Bella asked indignantly, "Why was Christopher here? Did he get you worked up?"

Wyatt and Quentin said nothing.

"I saw Christopher holding a box, Chairman Thompson. Did you threaten you with a drug?" Justin's eyes flickered.

Quentin murmured, "Mr. Iverson brought a drug and said Chairman Thompson was able to get better because of him. He came to set up a deal with Chairman Thompson. If Chairman Thompson agrees to his terms, he can guarantee a supply of drugs. Chairman Thompson isn't quite himself yet, and Mr. Iverson's aggression only rubbed him the wrong way. Chairman Thompson took his medicine in time, and he's feeling better now."

Bella asked, "What are the terms?"

Wyatt glared at Quentin.

Quentin made things vague. "He talked about a partnership. The terms do not matter. The thing is his arrogance. His ugly attitude is showing."

Bella squeezed her father's hand. "Justin and I ran into him just now, Dad. He acted innocently with us. Don't be scared. We'll sort out the drug. Don't listen to him. If he can acquire the drug, so can we." The sight of his daughter's angry and adorable face made Wyatt forget all the pain.

It was true that he wanted to live a few more days for Bella's sake.

Justin drew a deep breath and said, "I need to step out to make a phone call. I'll be right back."

In the basement parking lot, Christopher, with Taylor in tow, walked grimly to his ride.

"Mr. Iverson, Wyatt sure acts like he's above us."

Behind Christopher, Taylor whined, "He can't hang on much longer. Yet he doesn't want to accept your grace. Hmph! It's only a matter of time before he comes crawling back to you."

"It's alright. Even if he doesn't beg me, I don't want to take advantage of an old man on his deathbed.

set elove net Christopher smirked. "Besides, it

makes no difference whether he takes the drug. He'sjust

experiencing different levels of pain."

Justin stood proudly a few steps away from him, his eyes burning with rage,

A husky, stern voice boomed.

Christopher stopped and looked back.
