Ch. 1701..1710

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1701-Wendy said, "We ran off just like that. It's so humiliating and frustrating!"

"What do you know? Staying there any longer would have been truly disgraceful!" Regina endured the intense pain in her wrist as she took out her phone and pulled up a photo of Asher, the CEO of KS Group.

Wendy leaned over. The moment she saw the photo, she exclaimed, "That's the man from earlier! KS Group… He's the CEO of KS Group?!"

Seeing the photo, Regina also felt a rush of dizziness and broke out in a cold sweat. From the first moment she saw that man, she thought he looked familiar but couldn't remember where.

It wasn't until she stepped out the door that she was struck by the realization.

The recent scandal involving a gay couple caused an uproar-one of them had this exact face!

"It can't be. The CEO of the KS Group is gay, and this man is Roza's boyfriend.

How can they be the same person? They just look a bit alike."

"You're right. There's no way that little tramp could be so lucky to date the young master of the Thompson family."

Wendy was scared and trembling. She tried to comfort herself and muttered under her breath. "But… They look so much alike. Even people would believe they're brothers."

Back in her office, Roza clutched her chest while her other hand frantically rummaged through a drawer for her heart medication. She poured some out and swallowed them. Axel followed closely behind. Seeing her take the medication and still looking unwell, he felt a deep, twisting pain in his heart.

Roza stood with her back to him, her usually proud posture slightly hunched, and the hand on her chest slowly clenched into a fist. "You saw everything."

Axel pressed his lips together, his eyes dark and serious.

"This is my humble, lowly background. No matter how glamorous my title as a designer may be, it can never erase the past. You must be so disappointed.

Now that they're gone, you don't have to pretend anymore." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a warm and powerful force embracing her from behind.

He had approached without her noticing, his eyes filled with intense, almost fierce, affection as he pulled her into his arms.

At first, she struggled lightly. But soon she realized that her body desperately longed for this embrace.

"Who said it was an act?"

Axel's warm lips brushed close to her ear, his voice hoarse with emotion. "I've never been more serious about anything in my life."

Roza felt a shiver run through her body. Her breathing quickened, and her head grew dizzy. She nearly melted into his arms. "I don't believe you. You're lying to me. Weren't you just laughing at me earlier?"

Axel's eyes reddened as he softly coaxed her, "Don't, misunderstand"

me, ycan explain everything."

"I don't want to hear it."

"It's not that I didn't want to 1.n

intervene. From the moment I heard that foul-mouthed girl insulting you, I wanted to slap her." Axel presseg his chin into the grook of ket neck, feeling a bittersweet ache that be couldn't describe. "But I really wanted to understand you more. You never talk about your family or your life.

Every time I try to get close to you, you push me away."

He continued, I know what I did was sneaky, but I… I could ofly use this method to get to know you. I want to truly know you."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1702-As Axel spoke, his strong, slender arms wrapped tightly around Roza's waist, tightening as if he were afraid she might escape again.

Roza felt a tingling warmth spreading through her body. Her voice was soft and playful, sounding both like a complaint and a tease. "So you realize that you act like a thief, huh? At least you have some self- awareness."

"My darling Roza," Axel called her again, almost addicted to the name, causing her pale face to blush faintly. "Actually, you are also a thief… A thief who stole my heart." Roza was speechless.

She recalled her mentor mentioning her family sometimes. The mentor had said she had another brother who, despite being exceptionally good-looking,

engaged in highly improper behaviors that made people feel uncomfortable.

Now it seemed Bella wasn't lying at all.

Seeing her silence, Axel grew anxious and turned her around to face him.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Axel Thompson."

Roza suddenly called him by his full name, making him even more anxious. "I am the illegitimate daughter of the Walker family. My status is not respectable, and the Walker family constantly causes me trouble never giving me peace.

Someone like me is not worthy of you. Being with me means a future filled with endless turmoil."

As she spoke, her heart ached again, as if she were cutting away a piece of her own flesh. "You deserve someone better."

"Maybe, for various reasons, out of pity, you feel protective of me. But once that initial impulse fades, you'll understand. Love is a fleeting thing that only adds to countless unnecessary troubles. Someone with your background-even if you don't seek a high-status match-should find a girl from a respectable family with a clean background. My life is full of stains. What you saw today is just the tip of the iceberg."

As a top fashion designer, Roza used her immaculate, aloof persona and dazzling creations to mask her deep-seated bitterness and insecurity. She had no sense of security, always feeling like she was living like a rootless floating plant. Although she bore the Walker name, she could never openly tell others that she was part of the Walker family.

It wasn't that she couldn't see Axel's goodness or feel his sincere love for her.

But the deep-seated feeling of unworthiness tore at her heart day and night, forcing her to face reality. If one day Axel realized he no longer liked her, or if their love faced universal opposition, she would rather not start at all.

"I've known about your background for a long time."

Seeing her try to escape, Axel's eyes reddened, but he couldn't hold back his words. "But so what? I still like you. I still look forward to seeing you."

Roza was taken aback, unable to hold back her emotions. "You investigated me?! Axel, is your prosecutor's instinct turning on me now?"

"I just wanted to understand you!"

Axel, desperate and agitated, grabbed her shoulders firmly, the veins in his hands bulging. "Roza, do you think went through all this trouble for fun? I did it to get closer to you, to reach your heart, and to be with you! I know what you're worried about, but it will never happen. You're Bella's best friend, and she has repeatedly insisted in front of me that you should be her sister-in-law.

"As for my family and my father, you have nothing to fear. If they're not openminded, then no one in this world is. My dad accepted that my eldest brother is gay, and he even accepted Justin, who once hurt Bella. How could he not accept you? Why wouldn't he?"

Roza felt a mixture of bitterness and frustration, shaking her head in resistance as she closed her eyes. She pressed her hands against his heaving chest, trying to push him away Dr. Larson is the second son of the Larson Group, and Justin is the president of the Salvador Corporation, both exceptional men. What am I compared to them? How can I measure up? It's different.

Don't waste your time on me…"

'This stubborn woman! Is she trying to drive me crazy?!' Axel panted heavily, his handsome face gradually turning red with frustration.

Roza lowered her gaze, forcing herself to turn away with a heavy

heart. "My assistant told me you're here to pick up clothes. Bella SHaf*uh the Find Ngvel det Website on Googli to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

couldn't come, so she sent your net

pick up Dr. Larson's tailored suit, right? The suit is packed, an@my assistant wilk give litto you. You should go. I'm very tired and want to rest."

"It's not just that. There's one more thing."

Axel's cold voice came from behind her. "My badge is still with you, isnt i? I have to attend meeting at the office later, and everyone needs to wear their badges. Give it back to me."

 

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1703-Roza froze. Her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp icicle.

"Alright."

She responded softly, her trembling hand reaching into her coat pocket. Slowly, she pulled out a badge that she had kept close to her heart, clutching it tightly in her palm. Then, she turned around.

At this moment, Axel was looking at her intently, extending his hand toward her.

Roza pressed her pale lips together and placed the badge in his palm. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, his strong hand suddenly wrapped around hers and pulled her forcefully.

Caught off guard, Roza was pulled into his embrace. Without giving her a chance to react, Axel held her by the waist and sealed her lips with a passionate, intense kiss. The kiss deepened, becoming more demanding. His possessiveness overwhelmed her as he explored her lips and tongue.

Roza's mind became hazy, her nerve endings tingling as if electrified. She began to embrace him passionately, responding to him.

After a long kiss, Axel reluctantly pulled away from her lips, gently holding her chin with his fingertips, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Earlier, your face went pale. Were you scared that I would really leave and take it back?"

"No, you're so full of yourself…" Roza's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion.

"That stubbornness-did you learn it from your master?" Axel sighed, both indulgent and helpless, pulling her into his arms again. "What's the use of having everything else? I don't care. I only like you. You're the best thing in the world to me."

In that moment, all hesitation and doubt shattered one by one under the man's unwavering decision.

"My darling Roza, please be my girlfriend."

Axel's eyes shimmered with a sincere light like twinkling stars. "From now on, let me love you, cherish you, and take care of you. Whatever you've lost before, whatever you haven't received, let me slowly find it back for you. Please, give me this chance."

He wasn't good at fancy words, and these few sentences were the best he could muster after racking his brain.

In the end, Roza couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. Tears streamed down her face as she nodded gently.

In that instant, Axel felt as if the whole world had burst into color, with fireworks exploding in his heart.

He gently cupped her neck again and kissed her deeply, their embrace tender and passionate.

Bella was busy with her eldest brother's handover, so she couldn't go to Savrow for the appointment with Roza. Instead, she sent her second brother to retrieve the clothes.

Picking up the clothes was secondary. The main goal was to create an opportunity for him to meet Roza. Even if both parties were interested in each other, without a meeting, how could sparks of love possibly ignite?

Bella was busy all day-reviewing project proposals, studying the executive profiles of the group, assessing the current financial. situation…

Although Justin was there to help her organize, she still felt dizzy, tired, and sore.

"Phew… I'm so exhausted."

The petite woman leaned softly into the man's embrace, resembling, a beautiful but tired robat."How can there be so so much to do? Did my eldest brother live such a busy life before?"

"Are you regretting it even before taking up the new position?" Justin chuckled softly, reaching up to massage her sore temples "As someone who's been through it, have to warn you, this is just the beginning.

When you officially take over, countless tasks will await you. You'll be even more stressed then."

"Regret? Hmph, those words don't exist in Bella Thompson's life dictionary."

Bella lifted her little face, pouting.

"Just watch. Not only will I do it, but I'll do it well: Just like when I took over the KS World Hotel. I Said would surpass the Salvador Hotel, and did.

Look, didn't I do well? Impressive results, right?"

Justin adored her proud and playful demeanor, kissing her forehead. "Looking back, your spirit is unmatched. My Bella is exceptionally talented, exuding queenly grace."

He added, "Or perhaps I should give the Salvador Hotel to you. You would surely bring new vitality to it."

"Um, let's forget about that. I know you have a strained relationship with your father, but let's not go too far."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1704-Bella quickly waved the notion away. "If you really gave it to me, this filial gesture of yours would kill Chairman Salvador. I don't want to be responsible for that."

Justin rubbed her hair with his large hand, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Why hasn't Ax shown up yet? He must have seen Roza, right? Could they be caught in a passionate embrace, doing what adults love to do?" The more Bella thought about it, the more excited she became, wriggling in the man's arms.

However, Justin took her improper thoughts seriously. "In broad daylight? I doubt it. Besides, this is his first time in a relationship. He probably is not that bold, right?"

"My second brother is super brave. The prosecutor's robe just confines his wild soul."

Bella flipped over and pressed down on Justin. Her fingertips played with his neck. "And so what if it is broad daylight? When you get aroused, it is already good enough if you can differentiate places. Do you even bother if it's day and night?"

Justin swallowed his saliva, his eyes turning passionate. To him, who was always in a state of passionate love, her words were a clear, suggestive hint.

His restless hand had already silently grasped Bella's thigh, slowly moving upward.

Suddenly, Bella's phone rang, breaking the increasingly heated atmosphere.

She hugged the man's neck and answered, "Ax, finally! Have you seen Roza?"

"Bella, come out. We are at the door."

When the young couple walked out of Yara Park hand in hand, they were both stunned.

Under the brilliant golden sunset, Axel was holding Roza's waist. The two were passionately kissing, oblivious to their surroundings.

"Wow, wow, wow!!" Bella screamed excitedly.

Her shout broke the sweet atmosphere. Roza hurriedly pushed Axel away, her face turning as red as fire.

Justin squeezed Bella's trembling hand. "Calm down a bit. You scared Ms.

Walker."

"I cannot calm down! I have a sister-in-law now!" Bella was ecstatic, happily punching Justin's chest with her fists.

Axel was not embarrassed at all. He openly held Roza's hand and walked over to them.

"Bella, let me reintroduce you." He turned his face, looking tenderly at his beloved. "This is your sister-in-law."

"Wait… No, I am not!" Roza stammered weakly, her face growing even redder.

"Hello, Second Sister-in-law." Bella grinned widely.

"Hello, Second Sister-in-law." Reading the room, Justin immediately followed suit. "Congratulations, Ax. Bella and I are looking forward to your wedding banquet."

"Hehe… You sly guy." Axel pointed at him with a smile of approval.

At this moment, Axel looked at his brother-in-law, growing increasingly fond of him.

"Master, all of you… Stop teasing me," Roza said shyly, unable to lift her head.

"Roza, I told you that you would be my sister-in-law sooner or later. It's inevitable."

Bella clapped her hands joyfully. "Oh my, Ash has found his match, and now Ax has too. I want to tell Wyatt about this tonight! Knowing this will make him happy and help with his condition."

Axel firmly held Roza's hand and spoke seriously, "I will personally tell Dad. It is more sincere that way, and it shows respect for Roza."

Roza's eyes reddened, and she suddenly felt the urge to cry again.

Most people admired her talent, but she knew her eccentric personality did not garner high praise from the outside World. No one truly respected her. Besides Bella, Axel was the second person to show her love and respect.

It turned out she could be loved like this. She never knew that being loved and cherished felt so blissful.

"Since you are here, let's go. Ax, bring Roza around the house!" Bella eagerly wanted to lead Roza in side.

"Bella, not today." Axel knew he had just entered Roza's heart. He should be cautious and progress slowa If they moved too fast, it would put too much pressure on her.

"Roza and I came to find you because she has something important to tell you in person."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1705-It was just in time for dinner, and neither couple had eaten yet. To celebrate Axel and Roza becoming a couple, they decided to dine at the best local restaurant in Hatchbay.

On the way, Justin drove while Bella sat in the passenger seat, leaving plenty of space in the back for the new couple to get cozy. They had just started dating, so it was understandable. Neither dared to look in the rearview mirror. All they could hear were occasional slaps.

"Ow… Roza, can you be a bit gentler? You are too rough with your husband,"

Axel complained, rubbing the back of his hand, his voice completely disregarding the presence of others. He was flaunting his affection without a doubt!

"Who told you to keep touching me? You are never well-behaved."

Roza's waist was tightly held by Axel's large hand. Her face was red as she nestled against his chest, exuding an irresistible temptation for Axel. "And besides, you are my boyfriend, not my husband…" "Does it make a difference?

Do you think your future husband could be someone else?" Axel's hot breath sprayed on her flushed earlobe as he pinched her soft waist.

"It depends on your performance. If you don't do well, it could be someone else." Roza lifted her beautiful chin slightly, letting out a light snort.

"Roza, you wouldn't dare." Axel lowered his head and kissed her deeply, prying open her lips, his tongue invading her mouth.

Flustered and embarrassed, Roza initially wanted to push him away, but Axel's kiss was so passionate. His long, dark eyelashes lowered when he looked at her, making her heart flutter. Her slender fingers trembled as they entwined with his tie.

As she gently pulled, their kiss deepened, becoming more fervent.

"You are not allowed to consider anyone else. Your future can only be with me."

Axel panted softly in her ear.

Even knowing it was a joke, he could not tolerate it. The possessiveness in his eyes burned like a flame.

Heaven knows, he had spent his days and nights watching Justin and Bella being intimate, seeing Asher and Arnold exchanging glances, feeling envious and tormented.

He often dreamed of Roza's face, and when his feelings were intense, his sweet dreams turned into erotic ones.

Now, he finally had her heart and tasted the sweetness of love. Heet was determined to have her. addicted to her, not wanting to apart from her for a single a en.swhovels.net While the new couple were passionately kissing, the couple in front suffered.

They did not dare turn their heads, speak, or even breathe.

It was not until they reached the restaurant's underground parking lot and got out of the car that Justin wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled deeply.

"Sweating all over, huh?"

Bella chuckled, pulling a tissue from her purse to gently wipe his face "Hehe. I told you. Ax is outwardne serious but inwardly wild. Righteous by day, a beast in heat by night."

en.swhovels.net "Bella, it is obvious you two are siblings. Only someone close would dare say that."

Justin grasped her soft hand, pressing it against his chest. "But I completely understand Ax's feelings.

When you decided to accept mene again was overjoyed, uncontrollable, and wanted yerine with you every day and night…"

"Shh-stop."

Bella stood on tiptoe, giving him a briet kiss on his thin lips. "I know.

what you are going to say. You just finished eating, and now you want to eat again?" "Fine, I will save it for later."

Justin narrowed his dark eyes and kissed her back. "When we get home, we will eat again."

In the private dining room, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

Being a natural foodie, Axel was in his element. With no outsiders around he ate with such focus and enjoyment.

Sitting beside him, Roza could not stop laughing. She kept placing food on his plate, taking care of him as if he were a child.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1706-"Ax, Roza has hardly touched her food because she is too busy serving you. Do you treat your wife this 'well'?” Bella ate the shrimp Justin had peeled for her, her beautiful eyes wide open. "I am warning you; if you do not treat Roza well, I will introduce her to Drew, Declan, and Ralph! Let us see if you can still eat after that."

Axel choked in fear, almost dropping his bowl.

Roza blushed, quickly patting his back and handing him her water cup. "Master, please don't joke about me."

"Roza… Cough, cough, I'm sorry." Axel hurriedly piled meat onto Roza's plate, his face turning red on the verge of tears. "It is my first time being in a relationship. Please don't be angry at me for not taking good care of you. Give me some time… I will learn, no, I will learn quickly!"

Roza shyly pressed her lips together, and her delicate fingers, skilled in sewing countless garments, lightly poked his chest. "There's no rush. We have a long life ahead of us."

Bella and Justin exchanged smiles.

Despite their diverse talents and personalities, the Thompson siblings had one thing in common. They were all hopeless romantics.

After dinner, they got down to business.

Roza said seriously, "Master, guess who visited my studio today?"

"Who?"

"James Iverson's wife, Coral."

The young couple was equally surprised and spoke in unison, "What did she want?"

"She came to order an evening gown for a banquet Roza frowned, still shaken. "That is not the surprising part. You cannot imagine her exaggerated reaction. Because I told her she needed an appointment and I could not provide ready-made clothes, she cried and knelt down, just to get me to make a dress for her."

Bella widened her eyes, as if hearing a fantastic tale.

Axel propped his hand under his chin, looking at his woman with admiration.

"Roza, even the matron of the Iverson family bows before you. You are amazing. I love you so much."

Axel's comment completely derailed the serious topic. Roza wanted to roll her eyes but held back. The formidable prosecutor in court seemed to have no relation to his true self at home.

"Hmph, the Iverson family's reputation is worth nothing," Justin said with a cold, disdainful tone. "No wonder James rarely appears in public with his wife. What man would cherish a woman who degrades herself over a dress?"

Bella shook her head, her eyes darkening. "Things are not as simple as they seem. Coral may not be from a prestigious family, but she is well-educated and comes from a high-ranking official's family.

Normally, she would take great care to maintain her dignity. She would not humble herself like this over a dress. Could it be that someone is threatening her or forcing her?"

"Master, you always hit the nail on the head." Roza took a deep breath to calm herself, but when she looked up angry red veins."Coral fainted while trying on the dress in the fitting room.

I went in to check and found her covered in injuries. There were bruises from beatings, cigarette burns, and whip marks. Some were fresh, just starting to scab over."

The room fell into a shocked silence.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Bella's eyes were blazing as she slammed the table. She even stärtled Justin, who was used to her temper.

He was nervous.

"James… That monster! That despicable animal deserves to die!"

Bella was never one to tolerate injustice and found domestic violence utterly unforgivable.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1707-Hearing this, Axel put away his usual playful demeanor. His expression became increasingly serious.

"Bella, don't get too worked up. It's not good for your health," Justin said, his brows furrowing slightly as he held Bella's trembling hand. "Especially after a meal. You know how your stomach reacts when you're upset."

Bella reluctantly sat back down, still seething with anger. Justin immediately pulled her into his arms, kissing her on the forehead to calm her. Despite his efforts, she was still shaking with rage.

"Indeed, it was James' doing. At that time, I asked Coral why she didn't resist. I even reminded her that we live in a society governed by law now. With enough evidence, she could sue for divorce and make James pay for what he's done.

"But she's utterly terrified of him. It's as if he has some deadly leverage over her.

Even if he were to kill her one day, she has no intention of changing her tragic situation. She left in a panic before I could finish speaking." Roza's voice trembled as she spoke, her breathing unsteady.

Axel's probing gaze fell on Roza's gradually pale face, and he couldn't help but feel more suffocated. He keenly sensed that Roza's emotional turmoil while recounting the incident wasn't just from a third- person perspective but seemed to resonate deeply with her own experiences. She still had many secrets she was hiding from him.

"In two weeks, the Iverson family is hosting a grand banquet at their estate.

They've sent invitations to high-ranking officials, business tycoons, and prominent figures in Savrow." Justin's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "On our way here, lan messaged me, saying that even Gregory received one."

"Huh? Even the Salvador family got one, but I didn't? Is the Thompson family so insignificant?" Bella pouted, her teeth grinding in frustration.

Justin's large hand firmly grasped her round shoulder, his voice husky. "Maybe Christopher plans to deliver it to you personally in Hatchbay."

Under the table, Axel held Roza's hand and whispered, "This is making my teeth ache from jealousy."

Bella's eyes narrowed dangerously. "If he dares deliver it, I'll crumple it up and stuff it in his mouth. I'll tell him to get as far away from me as possible." Justin chuckled softly, unable to resist kissing her lips again.

"Now I understand. Coral degrading herself to get a dress from Roza was probably under James' strict orders. For the Iverson family's banquet, everyone will definitely net dress to impress. Being competitive and ruthless, James would want his wife to outshine everyone. If she fails, she'll likely face another beating." Bella shook her head, deeply worried for the poor woman.

Recalling his earlier harsh judgment of Coral, Justin pressed his thin lips into a tight line, feeling a surge of guilt.

"Master, I was thinking, could you and Justin find a way to bring Coral into your camp? If she stands up and accuses James of domestic violence, wouldn't that give you a better chance of taking him down?" Roza asked anxiously.

Bella sighed heavily. "Oh, my dear Roza, you think too simply. The Iverson family is one of the four great families, capable of rivaling the Salvador family in Savrow. We've been fighting them for so long. Two of the Iverson family's children have fallen and the Terranova's project has suffered severe setbacks, but it hasn't truly shaken the Iverson family's foundation. Compared to the Iverson family, Coral's family is insignificant. The most powerful elder in her family has retired. What leverage does she have against James? Even if she's willing to risk everything, what about her family? Angering the Iverson family could easily lead to their downfall."

Roza fell silent, realizing her naivety.

"Bella, Roza has a point," Justin said thoughtfully. "As James' wife, Coral knows his most brutal and ruthless side and probably many of his secrets. If she could help us, combined with the evidence provided by Drew, taking James down would be much easier."

Bella frowned deeply. "But why would Coral help us? She endured all this abuse, indicating she prioritizes her family's interests."

"Everything comes down to her having weaknesses and concerns!"

Justin's lips curled into a slight smile.

"We need to eliminate her worries.''

Bella suddenly understood, "You mean… Support her family?!"

Axel and Roza said in unison, "Absolutely!"

"In the coming days, I'll have people keep a close watch on Coral and.

have lan gather detailed information of Coral's family members. We need to find a critical entry point to break.

down Coral's psychological avere defenses," Justin said with calm determination. His strategic foresight provided great encouragement to everyone.

Bella intertwined her slender fingers with his large hand, her eyes shining with admiratione James would never imagine that his downfall is right beside him!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1708-Meanwhile, Carrie, who had not been seen for a long time, finally joined Savrow Academy of Fine Arts thanks to Ryan's efforts and money.

One week had passed since her admission. Despite sitting quietly in the last row and hiding behind a large drawing board, her beautiful appearance still attracted the boys' attention every time she attended class.

Full of youthful energy, these young men were so distracted by her that they could hardly concentrate on their lessons. They were craning their necks so much that they might develop spinal problems by the end of the class.

However, Carrie was entirely focused on the lecture, her hands constantly moving as she sketched, completely unaware that she had entered a wolf's den.

She cherished this opportunity to learn to paint that Ryan had secured for her.

She wanted to absorb all the knowledge the teacher imparted and would not let herself be distracted for even a second.

After the morning classes, Carrie was busy organizing her art supplies. A group of boys nudged a relatively good-looking boy in Carrie's direction. Mustering up his courage, the boy scratched his head and walked toward the last row.

"Young Madam, I apologize for the delay. I received a call and couldn't come earlier." Yasmin arrived at Carrie's side like a gust of cold wind, efficiently picking up her art supplies and wrapping an arm around her soft waist.

Then, Yasmin lifted her cold, sharp gaze and scanned the boys. Her mere look was enough to scare them into silence. What a beautiful woman, but with a murderous aura!

"What are you guys trying to do? Harass my boss's wife?" Yasmin's words were sharp, and her tone was icy.

'Wife?!' The boys were stunned and thought to themselves. 'What a pity! Who's the lucky guy?' "Our Young Madam is married. If you keep staring, I'll report you for harassment." Yasmin initially wanted to say, "I'll gouge your eyes out," but considering they were Carrie's classmates, she decided against being too violent.

As Carrie walked out of the classroom, her moon-like face blushed, and she shyly lowered her head.

"Young Madam, I had some important matters to handle at the company today, so I was delayed. In the future, I wait for you by the back door during your classes," Yasmin said, recalling the boysz earlier, feeling uneasy. No wonder Ryan wanted to keep her hidden. Leaving such a pretty wife in a crowd was like throwing a lamb into a den of wolves. It was indeed worrying.

"Yasmin, Ryan and I haven't gotten married yet…" Carrie fluttered her long eyelashes. She felt sweet inside but was also a bit embarrassed when Yasmin addressed her as Ryan's wife in front of her classmates.

"It's just a matter of a marriage certificate. Even if you're not married, Mr.

Hoffman's heart and soul are yours, forever and always." Yasmin gently stroked her head, smiling warmly. "Mr. Hoffman is net already privately planning the engagement. He's preparing to fly to Inalia next month for a royal auction. There's a rare royal diamond up for bid, said to have been worn by their queen. Mr. Hoffman intends to get it for you as an engagement ring, no matter the cost."

"I don't need Ryan to spend so much. It's enough that he has me in his heart,"

Carrie said, gently tugging at Yasmin's clothes and shaking her head slightly.

"Mr. Hoffman wishes he could pluck the stars from the sky for you.

You're worth it. Besides, you don't need to save money for him. He has nothing but you and money.

Spending money is his greatest pleasure, so let him enjoy it Yasmin chuckled.

Just then, she received a message from Ryan and sighed quietly after reading it.

"Is Ryan not coming home for dinner tonight?" Carrie asked, sensitive to Yasmin's mood change.

"Sorry, Madam. He has a board meeting and is quite busy…"

"It's okay. I understand. CEOs are always busy," Carrie said, hugging the small bear in her arms tighter. She cleared the disappointment from her clear eyes and smiled understandingly.

'Il wait for him to come home. My second brother used to be very busy too, rarely coming home, My sister-in-law would stay up, waiting for him. No matter how late he came.

back, she would always take good care of him, never feeling tired."

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1709-"In the future, I will also work hard to take care of Ryan and be as good as my sister-in-law." Upon hearing these words, Yasmin felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart but was also relieved. She was grateful that the journey of Ryan and Carrie was much smoother compared to that of Justin and Bella. If Carrie followed Ryan, she would not suffer such hardships in her lifetime. Fortunately, Bella also saw the light, and Justin understood his own heart. In the end, the two reconciled and were united.

"Yasmin, tonight Ryan won't be coming home for dinner either, and I don't feel like going home myself."

Carrie blinked her round, bright eyes and grabbed Yasmin's hand. "I want to spend two more hours practicing in the studio. After that, let's go out to eat tonight, okay?"

"What did you say?!" Yasmin was completely stunned. Carrie had autism and a severe social phobia. Even after such a long time, she has never eaten out with Ryan. Even if Ryan booked a high-end restaurant, she still hesitated, finding various excuses to stay home for dinner.

After integrating into society, Carrie's mindset has obviously changed. She talked and smiled more every day, and she was no longer so submissive.

Yasmin looked at her, excited and with tears in her eyes. "Um… I heard some classmates in the front row talking about a new restaurant nearby, saying it's super delicious. Shall we go try it?"

Carrie's eyes were full of hopeful light. "Yasmin, you've been attending classes with me all week, and you still have to prepare dinner for me in the evening. It's too exhausting. Let's take a break tonight. I have money, so let's go out to eat."

Yasmin struggled to contain her emotions and nodded tearfully. "Okay, thank you, Young Madam."

As all the classes of the day ended, the studio was empty. Carrie picked up a pencil and tied her black hair, which was hanging like a waterfall, into a loose bun. She held a paintbrush and painted seriously. Yasmin couldn't help but take a picture of her graceful back and send it to Ryan.

Ryan immediately replied to the message, and even across the screen, she could feel the resentment.

[Ryan: Why hasn't the class ended yet? Does the school want to exhaust my wife? Don't they want the money to rebuild the library?] [Yasmin: Mr. Hoffman, class is over. Young Madam just wants to stay and practice for a while.] [Ryan: Sigh, okay. Take care of her and don't let her work too hard. I'll feel sorry for her.] [Yasmin: Mr. Hoffman, Madam said she wants to invite me to a restaurant tonight.] This message was sent out, and there was no movement from Ryan for more than ten seconds.

С Suddenly, Yasmin's phone buzzed wildly!

Ryan went crazy with angry emojis and then sent a single word.

[Ryan: DAMN!] Yasmin was speechless at his response.

[Ryan: Yasmin, I am very, VERY jealous of you now! Wait for me!] Yasmin couldn't help but laugh. Ryan of belongs to en.swnoveteamet geas always jealous, regardless or species.

[Ryan: Take care of her and let her eat more. Eat my portion too.] [Yasmin: Please rest assured, I will take good care of Madam. Please finish your work and go home quickly, so that Madam won't wait too long.] [Ryan: Okay.] It was just one word, but it felt extremely bitter.

Was it really difficult to balance one's career and family?

At this time, another call came in. It was from the head of the academic affairs office, asking her to come over and get some information and sign an application form.

Yasmin went out and did not come back for about ten minutes.

Carrie was completely immersed in artistic creation, not even knowing when Yasmin left.

Suddenly there was a piercing and terrifying scream from Outside the window.

"Ah!"

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1710-Carrie was startled, and the paintbrush in her hand fell to the ground with a sudden thud. The next moment, she watched in wide-eyed horror as a person flew past outside the window. Immediately after, there was a loud crash.

Carrie abruptly stood up from her chair. Her body was stiff as a puppet. She walked step by step to the window and looked down at the scene below. At first glance, her mind went blank in terror. She covered her mouth in shock and staggered back, her legs limp.

It was a sight too horrifying to behold. A girl had fallen to her death, and her limbs were twisted gruesomely. Meanwhile, chaos erupted downstairs and filled the corridor with endless screams.

Carrie's heart pounded like a drum. Without time to process anything, she grabbed her teddy bear from the table and dashed out of the classroom.

"Yasmin… Yasmin, where are you?!"

Calling out for Yasmin, Carrie ran through the empty corridor, her mind filled with the horrifying image of the girl's tragic death.

Not knowing where she was headed, she heard the frantic footsteps behind her and the desperate cries for help.

"Help! Murder… Help!"

Murder?! Carrie turned in shock, only to see two male students covered in blood rushing in her direction for their lives. Chasing after them was a disheveled middle-aged man, wielding a machete and covered in bloodstains!

Carrie had never encountered such a scene before. She clutched the teddy bear tightly, unable to move.

"You beasts! I'll kill you!" The middle-aged man's face twisted with hateful rage.

He raised the bloodied knife high and swung it toward the two boys.

Trembling, Carrie backed away. One of the boys suddenly grabbed her arm, seeing her as a shield. He then forcefully pushed her toward the knife-wielding assailant.

"Ahh!"

The teddy bear fell from Carrie's hand as she collided with the middle-aged man. Meanwhile, the two treacherous boys took the opportunity to escape.

The man intended to push Carrie aside and give chase, but urgent police sirens blared from outside the window.

"Help… Help! Ugh!"

In a panic, the man's strong arm grasped Carrie's shoulder from behind, and he held the knife menacingly against her fair neck.

"Don't make a sound! If you want to live, come with me!"

The students ran out in panic. Outside the building, onlookers gathered as police officers set up a cordon, pushing the crowd back, yet the scene remained chaotic. Some journalists even rushed over setting up cameras to grab the headlines.

Vel.net "What's the situation now?!" Ralph was dressed in plain clothes. He bent down to cross the police cordon and swiftly entered the building like an unstoppable force against the light. His eyes were sharp and cold.

"Captain Ralph! The perpetrator is named Brian Wise, 52 years old. He's a production line worker at the Savrow Automobile Factory!" J wo subordinatgs anxibusly reported as they followed behind him. "Currently, a female student fell to her death, and a male student was stabbed five times and died on the way to the hospital. Two other male students were also injured, but fortunately managed to escape and have been taken to the hospital."

Ralph's brows furrowed deeply. "Was the female student's fall a suicide?"

"We checked the surveillance footage at the scene. She did jump off, but Brian Wise Porced her to!"

Ralph found it strange and asked in a deep voice, "Do these five students know each other?"

"We asked their teachers and supervisors. They were classmates and had a good relationship, often hanging put together on the seventh-floor terrace to smoke and have fun." Ralph squinted his sharp eyes. "So, the location of the incident was also the seventh-floor terrace?"

"Yes."

He immediately understood that Brian Wise was not a psychopath who killed indiscriminately.
