Ch. 1691..1700

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1691-Drew's resolute words sent a chill down Axel's and Ralph's spines.

Drew could be ruthless and heartless when he wanted to. Even after all these years, his persistent estrangement from Wyatt showed just how stubborn he could be. "Drew, there's no need to be so extreme."

Bella shook her head calmly. "If she sincerely repents and is willing to break free from Christopher's manipulation and come to our side, I don't want to make things difficult for her." Bella's words caught Drew off guard. “Bella, do you mean…..” "If she's willing to turn against Christopher and even come work for me, I'll gladly accept her and find her a position in one of the group's subsidiaries. She won't

have to live that kind of debased life at Pivotage anymore."

Even Justin was surprised upon hearing Bella's words. "Bella, is that really what you want?"

Axel also frowned. "Even though she helped Drew and provided us with some evidence, it could be a trap set by Christopher and her to gain our trust. She could be a double agent."

"If that were true, she would've caused a bigger commotion when Drew infiltrated Pivotage and pretended to resolve it. Then Drew would have owed her a bigger favor. But she didn't do that. She genuinely meant to let Drew escape safely and give him pieces of evidence against Christopher. She was looking for the best possible way to handle things."

As she spoke, her bright eyes turned toward Drew. Her gaze became thoughtful.

"What Yvonne gave Drew was her token of goodwill and a trump card from Christopher. If she were merely trying to curry favor, she wouldn't take such risks."

Drew's expression remained indifferent. However, a complex emotion also flashed in his eyes.

Reviewing the documents again, Ralph wondered aloud, "These pieces of evidence are pretty thorough, though. With the internal power struggles in the Iverson Group being public knowledge, why hasn't Christopher released these to bring James down directly? Wouldn't holding back like this only allow more complications to happen over time?"

Just as Bella was about to explain, Justin suddenly spoke coldly, "Bella just mentioned that this is Christopher's trump card. As the eldest son of the Iverson family, James still holds some shares in the Iverson Group. This is his last remaining value. Christopher intends to use this final leverage at a critical moment to force James to transfer his shares to him, just like he did with Charles."

Bella looked up at her man. Her eyes brimmed with affection.

"Damn! All those underhanded tricks to climb to power. Yet, no matter how high he gets, he's still despicable!" Axel spat angrily.

"Exactly! We can't let that snake have his way."

Bella then raised her chin with a determined smile. "We need to take James down. We're doing this not only to avenge Ash but also to turn Christopher's trump card into. worthless one. It's time he fa the trouble he's brought upon himself." en.FindNovels.net Justin's large hand gently caressed the curve of her waist, his gaze fixed on her proud profile, his heart utterly captivated. "Bella, no matter what decisions or choices you make, I'll support you unconditionally."

en.FindNovels.net Axel gave Drew a meaningful pat on the shoulder. "Drew, for the sake of our revenge plan, we need you to keep using your charm.” Drew lowered his sharp eyes, his lips curling into a faint, enigmatic smile as he turned and left.

After discussing important matters with her brothers and enjoying m delicious fried chicken, the couple went upstairs to rest.

Justin was preparing the bathwater in the bathroom while Bella wasm lighting aromatherapy Candles and decahting red wine when she received a call from Roza.

"Master, how have you been lately?" Roza asked cautiously, afraid of stirring up her emotions.

"Well, a lot of things have been happening, but…"

Bella turned to look at Justin. He Pnet

was kneeling by the bathtub, meticulously adjusting the water temperature. Upon seeing this, at wave of warmth filled her heart "Everything's been fine. And with my man by my side, I'm doing okay."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1692-Upon hearing Bella's words, Justin smiled warmly.

"Sigh… Now, I'll need to prepare two gifts for the holidays. It's going to cost me a fortune!" Roza pretended to sigh in distress.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about him. Just make sure to treat me well with good food and drinks. Just consider him the complimentary gift that comes with toothpaste at the supermarket!" Bella laughed, her voice clear and bright like silver bells.

Roza laughed heartily. "Haha! Alright!"

Justin was speechless. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Great. It turned out he was nothing but a freebie.

After the brief joke, Roza asked with concern, "Bella, are you really okay? Is there anything I can help with? Don't worry about bothering me. I'll do everything I can to assist you. Keeping things from me would only make me feel worse!"

"Everything is mostly resolved. My father's condition has also stabilized. Soon, my brother and Dr. Larson will take him to Meridan for further treatment. Thank you for your concern."

"Speaking of Dr. Larson, there are two suits he asked me to make that are still with me. They've been ready for a long time, but he hasn't picked them up yet.

I've called him twice recently. However, he didn't pick up. I called you today to ask if you know if he's alright. He isn't planning to abandon the suits, is he?"

"Arnold asked you to make suits?" Bella was puzzled.

Arnold usually only wore casual clothes or a lab coat. He did not wear suits.

"Well, I suspect… No, I'm certain these suits are meant for your big brother."

Roza was a top-notch tailor with an eye like a measuring tape. Just one look up and down, and she could estimate a person's measurements with almost perfect accuracy. "A few months ago, Dr. Larson came to me to get a men's suit tailored. When I saw the measurements, they were much bigger than his own thought he was making it for his dad, and I even suggested that the style might be too trendy for an older man. Now, looking back… I feel like such an idiot."

en.FindNovels.net Bella burst out laughing. "So, you just found out about it now? My dear cousin was getting clothes made for his lover." "Yeah, I know about it now. I'm sweating here."

With an enthusiastic, lively tone, Roza then said, "Bella, Dr. Larson and your brother are a match made in heaven. When I saw the news, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep a wink that night! By the way, I've already decided. When your brother and Arnold decide to get married, I'll personally make their wedding outfits, free of charge!" en.FindNovels.net Marriage?

Eavesdropping nearby, Justin could not help but imagine Asher and Arnold in matching black and white wedding suits, walking hand-in-hand into a church with beaming smiles. en.swhovels.net They really did seem like a perfect match.

"Well, thank you for your good wishes. I also hope to see the day my brotherlah&PAYnold can be together."

"Sure thing, Master. I'll prepare some good food for when you come over!"

Bella smiled brightly. "Arnold is probably too busy to check.his m phone. KH swing by Your studio tomorrow to pick up his suit. We can catch up then."

After the call ended, the bathwater was also ready.

"Bella, you go ahead and take a bath first. I need to step qurandicall lan to go ayersome work stuff."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1693-Just as Justin turned to leave, Bella grabbed his large hand. Her eyes were soft and glistening, and her cheeks blushed alluringly. "Do you really have to go now? Are you really going to let me bathe alone?" Justin's Adam's apple bobbed hard, his eyes darkening with desire. The veins on his hand, which she held, bulged and pulsed. "I don't want to leave you here alone, but you haven't slept well the past two nights because of me. If we do this again tonight, I'm afraid your back won't be able to handle it…” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Before he could finish his sentence, Bella's eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

With a light flick of her delicate fingers, the only towel left on her slender body slipped to the floor.

Instantly, Justin's breath became ragged. His already weak willpower crumbled.

He lowered his lashes and kissed her soft lips almost violently, unbuttoning his shirt as he did so.

He only managed to unbutton one before he tore the rest open. The expensive crystal buttons scattered around the steamy bathroom like his lost reason.

While he kissed her, he scooped her up and stepped into the large bathtub.

Bella's arms wrapped around his neck. Her moans were soft and sweet, her body melting into his like water.

Her slender fingers gripped the tub's edge, dipping in and out of the water, causing ripples that shimmered with desire.

After their passionate encounter, Bella lay exhausted on the bed while Justin held her from behind.

"Will you still tease me next time, you little temptress?" Justin murmured, his face buried in her neck, inhaling her scent deeply.

"Are you blaming me for it now?"

Bella felt a tickle and shrank her neck, "It's all because of you, you lecherous man. You couldn't even control yourself. You should work on your willpower.

Hmph."

"How cruel. How could you expect a lion to be a vegetarian?" Justin's voice carried a helpless chuckle.

Bella turned to face him, her voice soft, "Justin, when I said earlier tonight that I'd take in Yvonne if she defected to our side, were you really fine with it?" "As long as you're fine with it, I don't mind at all."

"I knew none of you would understand my thinking."

Bella sighed, "After all, she's one of Christopher's most trusted subordinates. She once even impersonated me to help him set you up, causing nearly irreparable damage between us… I can see why you'd have a hard time letting that go." en.FindNovels.net "But rationally, I know you're making the right call."

Justin pressed a warm kiss on her forehead. "Turning an enemy's most trusted subordinate is far more valuable than destroying her."

Bella nodded repeatedly.

"Both Yvonne and Taylor are considered Christopher's aides. Taylor is loyal to him like lan is to me. There's no chance of convincing him to join our side.

However, Christopher assigned Yvonne l.ne work at a place like shore she had to entertain clients. She

must have endured a lot over the years, reaching her breaking point, Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked everything to help Drew escape."

Bella brushed Justin's Adam's apple lightly with her fingers. "Do you know why l believe we can convince why I believe we can convifice'' Vonne to join us? It's not because she's fallen into the dust or because she's interested in Drew. It's

Justin was momentarily stunned En,

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1694-With Christopher's cunning nature, I believe he had long intended for Yvonne to be part of his scheme. Even if that's not the case, he probably forced her to undergo plastic surgery to look like me out of frustration. He probably did it just to fulfill his depraved desires."

Nestled in Justin's arms, Bella trembled in anger. "If the surgery had made her even more beautiful, that'd be one thing. But who would willingly become someone else's double, losing their original identity? Does she really want to walk in daylight and be mistaken for Bella Thompson? Do you know what that means? It means that in this world, the girl named Yvonne Smith is essentially dead, even if she's alive." Suddenly, Justin felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

"Now, she's secretly sending us information through Drew. This is her way of fighting back against Christopher. She no longer wants to be Christopher's pathetic substitute for someone else."

"You're right, Bella. I've never even thought of it that way before."

After a moment of reflection, Justin asked worriedly, "Do you think Drew would develop feelings for Yvonne with all their interactions?"

"He won't. My brother is even more detached than Asher."

Without hesitation, Bella added, "Asher has been single for so many years because he likes men. However, Drew is single because of the nature of his work. He once told me that to complete his missions, he had to seduce at least eighty women in a year. He has since been immune to romance."

"Eighty?!"

Upon hearing the astonishing figure, Justin was shocked. "So, is Drew still okay physically?"

"Pfft! What are you thinking?!"

Bella poked his forehead with her finger. "My brother uses his skill to seduce them, not his body! Anyway, don't worry. What you're concerned about won't happen."

The next morning, Roza headed out to buy groceries and returned to the studio kitchen, humming cheerfully as she prepared snacks for Bella.

Just before noon, her assistant rushed in as she was about to give Bella a call.

"Ms. Walker, we have a visitor."

"Does she have an appointment?"

"Have you not been with me for long enough? You know my rule. I'm not seeing anyone without an appointment."

Her assistant frowned in helplessness. "I've told her about et this, but she's very persistent. She said she won't leave until she sees you."

Roza stood with her hands on her hips, her hands assertively gesturing.

"Just ignore her Lethel do as she pleases. If She insists on staying until the evening, I'll even have a place ready for her!

Her assistant nodded reluctantly.

Just as she was about to turn aWay, Roza stopped her again.

en.FindNovels.net UMS "Damn! Where did this brazen troublemaker come from? Why is she trying to pull this off with me?"

"Who is this woman?

"She said her name is Coral. She's the wite of the Iverson Group's Tormer 9E9,"

At the wift of the Iverson Group, Roza's eyes darkened abruptly. She her to pulled off her apron. "Tale my office. I'll see her." en.FindNovels.net

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1695-When Roza arrived at her design studio, she saw Coral sitting stiffly, waiting.

"You're Mrs. Iverson, right?"

Upon hearing Roza's words, Coral hurriedly got up. "Yes, M-Ms Walker."

Without further words, Roza scanned the woman in front of her up and down.

She felt somewhat surprised by the woman before her. As the eldest young madam of the Iverson family, Roza thought Coral would be elegant and assertive. However, that was not the case. Coral only wore a simple white suit, and her hair was neatly tied up. Although she had makeup on, it failed to conceal her weary spirit. "Mrs. Iverson, please have a seat."

Initially, Roza came here with resentment toward Coral. However, she could not bring herself to act rashly after seeing Coral's condition. So, she decided to wait and see what Coral would do. "Ms. Walker, I know my visit is abrupt and presumptuous, but I hope you can help me design an evening gown."

Coral pleaded eagerly, "Money is not an issue. Whatever others can offer, I'm willing to pay double or triple that price. It's not a problem. But please make an evening gown for me! I beg you!" "Mrs. Iverson, I'm just a designer. Please don't use such strong words."

Roza noticed Coral's trembling hand gripping the teacup. Coral's eyes were glazed, and her mental state was clearly troubled.

Seeing this, Roza spoke softly, "But my studio has always operated on an appointment basis since its opening. No one has ever been able to bypass this rule. If everyone could cut in line, it would severely delay our schedule and compromise the quality of our work. It's not just about our reputation but also fairness to our clients. So, please…"

Before Roza could finish her sentence, Coral suddenly slumped down and kneeled on the ground before her.

"Mrs. Iverson! What are you doing?!" Roza exclaimed in surprise, rushing forward to help Coral up.

Just as she lifted the woman, she unintentionally glimpsed something.

Large bruises and blood marks adorned Coral's exposed forearm, where her sleeves had inadvertently rolled up. Roza felt her mind buzzing. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She recalled the scene of the monster, or her so-called "father" abusing her mother when she was younger. Her mother had to endure great humiliation so that she could live a relatively good life.

Coral's body trembled uncontrollably. She was on the verge of crying. "If you refuse to help me… I'll kneel here all day and not get up!"

"Please don't do this. Please stand and speak."

Roza composed herself, her voice tinged with emotion. “Alright, I'll make one for you. Please stand up. I'll take your measurements now and see if any of our ready-made dresses fit you." Coral grabbed Roza's hand tightly, tears filling her reddened eyes. "Thank you… Thank you so much…"

Roza dismissed all her staff and assistants, leaving only Coral and herself in the spacious room.

She personally took Coral's measurements and swiftly picked out three dresses that matched her style and figure.

"Mrs. Iverson, what do you think about these three? If they aren't to your liking, I can choose some other gowns for you."

Coral did not hesitate long. She quickly embraced a dark green gown, as if afraid Roza might suddenly change her mind and. refuse to sell the gown to her..

Roza's delicate eyelashes quivered as she watched Coral's tenseo m expressiono she could not help but feel sad for Coral.

"Ready-made gowns can never

Coral hesitated briefly. Eventuallyn she entered the fitting fdor.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1696-Countless painful memories flooded back, leaving Roza in turmoil. She was so upset that she walked over to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of ice water, and chugged it down to calm herself. Suddenly, there was a loud thud from the changing room. Roza jumped in surprise and quickly rushed to the door, knocking anxiously.

"Mrs. Iverson? Are you okay? Mrs. Iverson?!"

Roza felt her heart drop when she didn't hear a response. Without hesitation, she forced the door open and hurried into the room.

"Mrs. Iverson!"

In the changing room, Coral had passed out while changing. She was lying unconscious on the floor with her upper body exposed.

To Roza's shock, Coral's back was heavily marked with old bruises and healed wounds.

After a moment of disbelief, Roza swiftly removed her jacket, wrapped it around Coral, and gently lifted her while trying to rouse her by pinching her philtrum.

"Mrs. Iverson! Can you hear me?"

Coral slowly regained consciousness. Her eyes were dazed and unfocused.

Roza let out a sigh of relief and anxiously asked, "Mrs. Iverson, what happened to your body?!"

Tears welled up in Coral's eyes as she turned away, unable to meet Roza's sharp gaze.

"Did you get abused? Did James hit you?!" Roza's eyes blazed with anger, barely able to contain her fury.

"Ms. Walker, this is just something personal. Please don't ask," Corat said as she quickly got dressed. "I'll send you the money later, and my assistant will grab the clothes. I'm sorry for troubling you!"

Roza called out to Coral's retreating figure, "Mrs. Iverson! Abuse doesn't just happen once. It happens over and over again! You know better than anyone how you endured all these years of humiliation and pain!"

She continued, "Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with such a beastly hypocrite? Even if you can bear it, how much longer can your body hold up? Do you want to be beaten to death by him?!"

"What can I do?! Do I have a choice?!" Coral finally broke down, unable to contain the long-suppressed anger and resentment in her heart. "I can barely stay alive now, but if I resist, only be left with a dead end!"

"Nonsense!" Roza was deeply triggered by the abuse, causing her to shout hoarsely, "If you don't fight back, you'll be in real danger! Mrs. Iverson, you can still turn back now, as long as you…" Before she could finish, the door slammed shut.

Roza stood there, her expression frozen, seething with anger. An idea came to her mind.

As soon as Coral's car left the front yard of the studio, a luxurious sedan immediately took its place.

Despite the available parking spots, this car boldly parked right in front of the entrance.

"Oh my, what an awful location that little bitch chose! It's so remote, and the journey was a nightmare!"

A woman wearing a pink lace dress stepped out of the vehigle with alook of contempt on her face. it was Wendy, Roza's stepsister.

"Isn't it because the housing prices in this area are so cheap? That bitch is trying to save money for herself."

Right after that, a woman in her forties with elegant attire, a stermn expression andraised eyebrows emerged. It was Wendy's mother, Regina Walker.

Regina said, "The so-called renowned designer is just a title she

uses to elevate her status. She's just looking for a wealthy husband to secure her future. I news gets out apout her status as the illegitimate daughter, nobody will want anything to do with her. Marry her? It would tarnish the family name and bring them shame."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1697-Wendy chuckled and said, "Mom, you're absolutely right!" Her thick eyebrows frowned as she continued, "But I really don't understand why we didn't hire a more well-known designer for my engagement dress. It's not like our family can't afford it, so why do we have to rely on that little bitch? It's just so unfortunate."

"Look, my dear daughter, you just don't get it."

Regina hooked her arm through her daughter's, speaking sincerely, "Your father built up this family wealth because he knows when to be frugal and when to spend. Having Roza make your dress is smart. She's skilled, so why not use her talents?

"Besides, letting Roza design your wedding dress is your father's way of testing her loyalty and reminding her of her place in the Walker family. Despite sharing the Walker family name, Roza will always be beneath you. It's her destiny to be your lifelong counterpart."

The mother and daughter, satisfied with their plans, entered through the front door.

"Excuse me, ladies. Do you have an appointment?" The assistant immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Appointment? What appointment? Does a small shop like yours need to be so high-end?" Wendy scoffed, rolling her eyes.

The assistant frowned, her demeanor turning frosty. "I'm afraid Ms. Roza will not see you without an appointment. Even the CEO's wife of Iverson Group was just turned away for not having one." 'Iverson Group?!' The mother and daughter exchanged shocked glances. Could it be true that someone from Iverson Group would come to this brat's shop to have their clothes custom-made?

Though the Walker family had some wealth, they were nothing compared to one of the four great families, the Iverson family.

"Well, we happen to be Roza's relatives. Could you please let her know we're here to see her? I'm sure she'll come down to greet us," Regina said, finally disclosing their identity, as they couldn't even get a meeting.

The assistant replied, "Ha, well, in that case, I definitely can't let you in."

The assistant looked them over coldly. "I've been with Ms. Roza for a long time.

I'm well aware of her circumstances. Ms. Roza has always said she only has one net?

mother, with all other relatives being essentially dead to her."

Regina's expression darkened with rage.

"Dead… All dead?! That little bitch dares to say that?!" Wendy, unable to hold back, blurted out her insulting words about Roza.

A chilling presence suddenly approached them from behind, accompanied by the sound of icy, commanding footsteps. The Walker mother and daughter quickly turned around and saw a strikingly handsome man in a sharp black turned Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

uniform, his eyes piercing and cold, striding toward them.

Wendy couldn't help but stare at him, haying a heart attack! He was so undeniably handsome that she felt like she might even want to cry out

Wendy had always found her fiancé attractive and enjoyed showing off his photos but he paled in comparison to this man.

wr

Comparison was indeed the thief of all joy.

"Excuse me, who are you?" The assistant asked in confusion.

Axel's cold stare swept over Wendy's face after her arrogant outburst.

Regina shivered and instinctively pulled her daughter closer.

After a brief pause, Axel's gaze softened, and he offered the assistant a slight smile. "I had placed an order for two suits with Ms. Roza.

Shelmentioned they're ready for me to collect." He then turned around and calmly approached a nearby sofa, taking a seat with his legs crossed, observing the two women with a touch of amusement.

"There's no rush. You can finish dealing with them first."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1698-What Axel did left the assistant stunned. His aloof and indifferent attitude made her truly believe that he was just an ordinary customer coming to pick up his clothes.

"Wendy, what are you staring at? Your eyes are glued to him." Regina forcefully pulled Wendy aside.

"Mom! Look at that man… He's so handsome! I've never seen anyone with such a magnificent face!" Wendy exclaimed with innocent excitement.

"Alright, alright. You're the daughter of a wealthy family. Don't act like you've never seen men. Even the most handsome man has only two legs," Regina scolded softly, but she couldn't help glancing at Axel out of the corner of her eye.

He seemed vaguely familiar to her. Besides, she felt his gaze on them was cold and intense, sending a shiver down her spine.

Just as the assistant fretted over how to get rid of these two nuisances, a crisp and sharp sound of high heels echoed from the stairs.

"Are you two done causing trouble?!"

Axel turned toward the voice and saw Roza standing not far away, her complexion pale.

"Mom, that wretched girl is here!" Wendy's eyes brimmed with disgust and hatred upon seeing her stepsister, Roza.

Originally, Wendy was the only legitimate heiress of the Walker family. However, the presence of this illegitimate daughter had somewhat affected her status in her father's eyes.

This so-called sister was far superior to her in many ways. Besides being pretty, Roza was also talented and accomplished. From a young age, she excelled in both character and academics. When she grew up, she became one of the top fashion designers in the country.

If it weren't for the fact that Roza had a troublesome mother, who was a murderer, perhaps her father would not treat her so indifferently now.

Perhaps the daughter to be married into the Sully family of North City wouldn't have been Wendy.

With every step Roza took toward them, it felt as if her feet were laden with lead. They were incredibly heavy.

As soon as she came downstairs, she saw Axel sitting there-handsome, tall, and with strikingly attractive features. No matter how many times she saw him, he always made her heart flutter. But that's all it could ever be-a fluttering heart.

The appearance of the Walker family was like the clock striking midnight, cruelly reminding her that Cinderella's dream was over.

It was because Roza genuinely liked Axel that she hoped he could be matched with a better girl-someone whose background, family, and past weren't as disgraceful and messy as hers. Regina's gaze turned more bitter and resentful upon seeing this outstanding, illegitimate daughter.

"Mrs. Walker, I'm currently working. If there's something, we can talk about it after I finish," Roza said stiffly, her voice low and hoarse.

With Axel watching nearby, she couldn't afford to openly quarrel with Regina and Wendy.

Otherwise, the family's scandal would become public, and she wouldn't be able to hold her head up in front of him or her mentor. She had struggled with all her might to rise from the bottom to her current position. She didn't want to revert to her old self and be looked down upon again.

Axel noticed Roza's dim and lifeless eyes but remained expressionless.

Regina had been holding back her anger, but now that she finally saw the person she had been looking for, she erupted like an unclogged, centuries-old toilet, spewing her foul resentment.

"Roza, now that you're a renowned designer, your arrogance has grown along with your temper, hasn't it? You're no longer the little girl who used to cling to the Walker family, always trying to please us," Regina said sharply.

"Mrs. Walker, my assistant may not recognize you and may have been negligent. But here, we treat everyone equally. There's no intention to make things difficult for you," Roza replied, her body feeling as if it were frozen, a chill spreading through her limbs and bones.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk in my office," Roza added.

Regina crossed her arms and spoke coldly. "I know you're independent and unwilling to admit that you're part of the Walker family. But your background is something you can't erase. No matter how high you fly, always remember that it was the Walker family's support that enabled you to get to where you are today."

"Mom, you're being really subtle. Do you think she can actually understand you?

illegitimate daughter of the Walker family."

Axel's hand tightened around the teacup, the veins on the back of his hand faintly trembling, and his heart ached slightly But considering Roza's feelings at the moment, he quickly averted his heated gaze from her pale face, fearing his scrutiny would only deepen her sense of inferiority and pain.

"Go to your office? Why should we go to your office to talk? Is it because you feel ashamed of your identity?"

Wendy seized the opportunity to lash out. "We only et come to see you once in a blue

moon, and every time we try to meet, you come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid usk Now thal were quarreling, if we don't make a scene now, won't your watchdogs bite us for approaching you?"

The assistant was furious at what she said but could only swallow her rage due to their relationship with the boss.

Each insult felt like a knife stabbing into Roza's heart. In front of the man she loved the most, they cruelly exposed her deepest pain for all to see.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1699-There was nothing but silence from Axel's side.

Roza dared not glance in his direction. Her heart was aching so intensely that it felt like it might stop altogether. She felt like there was no one who could accept her. Even Axel, who had a pure heart, was no exception.

A stifling silence hung in the air for a while. Roza took a deep breath, forcing a laugh through her tears. "Yes, I am the illegitimate daughter, the daughter of Cole Walker's mistress. Our Walker family is like a dramatic family ethics show that's full of twists and turns."

She continued, "Wendy, you're about to be engaged to the son of the Sully family, right? When I meet my new brother-in-law, I'll make sure he understands

our family's situation well. Knowing each other's background will help us get along harmoniously in the future."

The words stunned both Regina and Wendy into silence. The more Roza laughed, the angrier they became. This little wretch had decided to shamelessly confront them. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"So, tell me," Roza continued with biting sarcasm. "What business do you have today with me, the long-lost illegitimate daughter?"

Roza had been holding back moments ago, but now she threw caution to the wind. She glanced at her watch, her slender eyes filled with cold arrogance.

"Hurry up. My time is very valuable."

"Wendy is getting engaged. Your father wants you to make two sets of dresses for your sister," Regina gritted her teeth, trying to keep her cool.

"Oh, sorry, but my schedule is fully booked this month, next month, and the month after that.," Roza replied calmly.

Regina's gaze turned cold. "Roza, are you going to refuse your father's orders too?"

Roza met her gaze fearlessly. "So what if it's my father? Even if the president comes, I wouldn't do it."

Wendy was so angry that her chest ached. "You!"

"Mrs. Walker, do you think I'm an idiot?" Roza, who was taller than the middleaged woman, looked down at her. "You and your daughter just teamed up to humiliate me. Now you expect me to do you a favor? How could you be so thickskinned?"

"You insolent brat! You're absolutely outrageous!" Regina couldn't hold back any longer. She glared with bloodshot eyes and raised her arm to slap Roza's face.

Roza's pupils contracted, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Suddenly, she sensed something flying toward them, cutting through the air with a fierce wind.

Smack-!

"Ah! It hurts so much!" Regina screamed in agony, sweat breaking out on her forehead as she clutched her swollen wrist. Immediately after, the shattering sound of a teacup breaking filled the air-it was the cup that had knocked her hand away. "Mom! Are you okay?!" Wendy gasped, her face turning pale with fright.

Regina's hand trembled with pain. "Who did that?!"

"I did." A clear and resonant voice rang out.

Roza suddenly looked up, her heart skipping a beat as tears welled up in her eyes.

Axel approached her without hesitation, his gaze intense as he looked into her pitifully red eyes.

bécause you look like an old monster after all the plastic 0 surgeries and botox?"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1700-Initially, Roza, who was standing behind Axel, felt really upset. However, upon hearing his words, a smile nearly formed on her lips, and she almost burst into laughter. Axel had a way with words. In the courtroom, he would ruthlessly expose the defendants' vulnerabilities, and in his daily life, he would bluntly call out people's sensitive spots.

"You… What nonsense are you spouting! I haven't had any plastic surgery!"

Regina quickly covered her face, which was tight and puffed up like an inflated doll, feeling embarrassed, angry, and guilty all at once.

Axel shook his head and said, "It's not your fault that you're getting older, but using it to intimidate others isn't right."

Regina was absolutely fuming, feeling like she might get a stroke.

"You, who are you to Roza?!" Wendy supported her mother and couldn't help but question.

"Who am I to her?" Axel clicked his tongue against his cheek and then turned to look seriously at Roza. "Ms. Roza, she's asking me who I am to you."

Roza stared at him, her heart pounding wildly.

"If you don't answer, then I'll assume the role of your boyfriend," Axel said, his eyes twinkling with a deeply intoxicating tenderness.

"What?!" Both Regina and Wendy were so shocked, their jaws almost dropped.

'A man so refined, handsome, and distinguished is actually dating this wretched girl?!' Roza's delicate face immediately turned red. She shyly averted her gaze, not daring to look at him again.

Axel's eyes darkened slightly. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, took her slightly cool hand, and then interlaced their fingers tightly.

"Earlier, I watched as you bullied my darling Roza. I didn't intervene because I wanted to see how despicable and shameless you could be and to what extent human nature could be corrupted. Well, you didn't disappoint me. It was a real spectacle, like a bunch of demons dancing wildly. It was truly eye-opening."

Axel's dark eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

'Darling… Roza?' Roza blinked her moist eyes, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.

Regina gritted her teeth. "This is a family matter for the Walker family. It's none of your business, right?"

"Roza is my woman. You tell me if it has anything to do with me," Axel said, his jaw tensing and his sharp gaze so intense that no one dared to meet it.

"Did my mother say anything wrong?" Wendy started yelling again, continuing to slander Roza. "She's just the illegitimate daughter of the Walker family. Her mother seduced my father and got pregnant with her. When she couldn't force him into marriage, she secretly gave birth to this little tramp. Her mother later fell on hard times and brought her here to seek refuge in our family. We treated them with the utmost kindness and generosity, but now that Roza has some skills, she turns into a heartless ingrate who won't even make clothes for me!"

Wendy added, "She owes everything she has today to the Walker family! If my father hadn't taken them in, who knows in which ditch she and her mother would have died?" Roza's eyes turned red, and her breath became heavy.

At this moment, Axel sneered, "So what does any of this have to do with my darling Roza?"

Wendy was stunned into silence! sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

His gaze was clearly conveying to her. You don't need to gay anything. I upderstahdit all!

"If the Walker family wants to retain a shred of dignity, you'd better leave immediately. Otherwise, I'll make sure you lose every bit of it."

Regina had sensed from the moment this man appeared that he was no ordinary person. Unable to argue further at this moment, she could only grab Wendy's arm and hastily leave the villa.

Back in the car, Wendy continued to vent her frustration. "Mom! That man injured yoy, ihe doeshit apologize, shouldn't he at least compensate you for medical expenses?!"
