Ch. 191..200
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 191-Bella stood in the middle of the empty and quiet living room.
She fumbled to turn on the lights as she called out to her brother anxiously. “Ash? Are you there?” At this time, there was a faint sound in the bedroom.
Bella felt nervous. She walked briskly inside while shouting, “Ash! Are you okay? Are you feeling sick?” “Bella… Don’t come over!” Asher’s voice trembled, and his breathing was labored.
“Ash! What’s wrong? Don’t scare me!” Bella’s face lost all color in an instant. Just as she was about to rush in, the door slammed open.
Under the dim light, Asher was soaked from head to toe, as if he had fallen into the sea. His handsome face was flushed red.
He had taken off his suit jacket, leaving only a wet white shirt clinging to his muscular body. His shirt was wide open, exposing the red skin underneath. It was as if his blood was boiling.
“Ash… What…..” “I was drugged…” Asher’s vision gradually became blurry. He could hardly see Bella clearly. “I took a cold shower and soaked myself in a cold bath, but the drug is too strong… Nothing works!” “How could this happen?!” Bella was furious but also panicking.
She was a medical prodigy who could perform brain surgery, but she was currently at a loss facing her brother, who was drugged with a strong aphrodisiac.
“Bella… This is a trap. Leave this room immediately and lock the door… I can handle this by myself!” Asher’s breathing became heavier. His eyes were completely bloodshot.
Bella thought, ‘No, we can’t delay this any longer! Ash will be in danger!’ “Ash, I can’t possibly leave you alone! Let me help you. I’ll call the driver right away and take you to the hospital right now!” Bella had never seen Asher in such pain. She was so flustered that she almost cried.
She was about to run over to help him when she heard glass shattering.
Asher actually smashed a vase at the door.
Then he grabbed a sharp fragment of glass, gritted his teeth, and held it in the palm of his hand until blood flowed out between his fingers. He refused to let go, as if he were enjoying the pain.
“Ash!” Bella felt extremely distressed. Her eyes were filled with tears.
She knew that Asher could no longer hold on, so he hurt himself just to protect her.
“Bella… Please leave! I beg you!” Asher opened his eyes, which were filled with lust, and roared, “Get out!” There was a lot of singing and dancing in the banquet hall.
Wyatt was chatting happily with Nigel at the main table. Some people who wanted to curry favor with Nigel did not dare to come forward.
The main reason was that Wyatt looked so unapproachable and powerful, like a mighty king in ancient times. Menial people like them were not good enough to talk to such nobility.
After Nigel drank some wine, he was in a good mood and invited the children to sit with him.
Matt invited Justin and Bethany to the main table.
“Wyatt, what do you think of my grandson?” Nigel playfully winked at Wyatt.
Wyatt smiled faintly and said, “Old Master Nigel, your grandson definitely surpasses you.’ Gregory frowned and coughed lightly, wondering how this person with such low emotional intelligence could make such a big family fortune.
Justin was Gregory’s son, so Wyatt should have praised Justin for having good genes. How could Wyatt say that Justin surpassed them all?
“Haha! Justin can’t compare to me when I was younger. I certainly had higher standards than this punk! But I think my grandson is a little naive and stubborn. He won’t listen to my advice, no matter what!” Nigel sighed with disappointment.
Justin lowered his eyes and said nothing. He took a sip of tea with a cold face.
“Dad, Justin isn’t as lacking as you described. In the past few years since he has been president of Salvador Corporation, everyone can attest to the increased performance. Justin has done well compared to his peers.” Gregory gave Justin a rare compliment.
In fact, Gregory was trying to one-up his rival, Wyatt.
“Pft! That’s his job! The president of the company must be capable and far-sighted.
Otherwise, I will kick him off the board even if he is my grandson and get someone to replace him!” Nigel had always disliked Gregory, so he took the opportunity to diss his son whenever possible.
“Old Master Nigel, if Justin is capable and farsighted, he’s already better than most of his peers in Savrow. He can be considered a role model among the younger generation of business leaders.” Wyatt smiled and spoke sincerely.
After all, Salvador Corporation’s performance increased several fold compared to before Justin took over. In addition, the drastic reforms he implemented made Salvador Corporation one of the leading conglomerates in Savrow in just three years.
Wyatt could see that Nigel was openly belittling and secretly praising his grandson. In reality, Nigel was quite satisfied with his grandson.
“Wyatt, it seems like you really admire my grandson!” Nigel grinned and approached Wyatt. “Why don’t we arrange a marriage between our families?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 192-Everyone was stunned to hear this.
Nigel’s suggestion shocked Gregory and Shannon. Bethany had just taken a sip of tea and almost spat it out when she heard this.
“Grandpa, please stop messing around.” Justin’s expression froze. His eyebrows furrowed.
Wyatt was also shocked by the suggestion.
“Wyatt, I remember that you have three daughters. Have you added another daughter to your family in recent years?” Nigel asked seriously.
“No, I still have three girls. Nine children are enough for me. I have no plans to have more children in the future.” “Oh, I see. Are those three daughters married?” Wyatt smiled awkwardly and said, “My sixth daughter, Camilla, is already married and currently living abroad. My youngest daughter, Amelia, is still studying. She’s still too young to get married. I want her to relax and enjoy her student life.” “You have another daughter, the one you love the most, right? What’s her name?” Wyatt’s gaze became gentle. “My eighth daughter, Bella.” Hearing this name, Justin shook slightly, almost dropping the teacup in his hand. His expression became even gloomier.
“That’s right, Bella! I remember seeing her when she was just a little girl. She’s such a well- behaved little doll!” Nigel’s smile grew wider. “I guess Bella is already 24 or 25 years old, right? Is she married?” “Not yet… “Then what do you think of Justin as your son-in-law?” Wyatt was speechless. ‘Why is this old man so tactless? Couldn’t he see that I didn’t want my precious daughter to marry Gregory’s son? How dare he think of my perfect Bella?! Hmph!’- “Grandpa, I’m getting married soon.” Justin became furious when he thought of Bella. He gritted his teeth and said, “Even if I don’t have a girlfriend, there’s no way I will ever be with Ms. Thompson.” Just as Nigel was about to speak, Wyatt frowned and said, “Justin, what do you mean by that? Do you think that my precious/daughter isn’t good enough for you? She’s the apple of my eye. Even when the son of the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince came to propose marriage, I felt that they were not good enough for my daughter. So, where did you get the confidence to look down on my daughter? You haven’t even met her yet. Don’t you think you’re being too rash for rejecting her so soon?” If Nigel had not been present, Wyatt would have said something even worse.
Wyatt thought, “This little punk is so impudent!’ “Ms. Thompson is outstanding. We have competed against each other in business. She is smart, courageous, and superior to others.” Justin’s eyes were dark. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. “But she and I have different personalities. This is a barrier that can’t be breached, and there is no way to force us to be together. If I can meet Ms. Thompson one day, I think we will be great business partners.” Wyatt’s face eased slightly when he heard praise for his daughter.
“One day? Well, why don’t we make it happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Let’s make arrangements for Justin and Bella to meet and get to know each other. Perhaps that barrier Justin was talking about isn’t that impenetrable after all! It’s settled then!” Nigel waved his hand and made the decision promptly.
Wow! To prevent Justin from marrying Rosalind, this old man actually started to play Cupid randomly with his eyes closed!
Justin’s handsome face was gloomy. Just as he was about to refuse, Shannon finally spoke. Dad, Justin is going to marry Rose soon. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to introduce Ms. Thompson to Justin at this time?” “Well, they’re not married yet, are they?” Nigel’s smile faded, and his eyes were intimidating. “Marriage is no different from negotiating long-term cooperation. Before the contract is signed, everything is subject to change!” “Dad, the news of Justin and Rose’s marriage is out. If something unexpected happens now, how will the outside world view Ms. Thompson?” Shannon laughed in exasperation. “Ms. Thompson is Chairman Thompson’s precious daughter, so we can’t let her suffer like this!” “Shannon, please stop talking.” Gregory was afraid that Shannon’s interjections would anger his father, so he hurriedly pulled her away.
“You! Cough cough cough…” Nigel was furious. He choked and coughed painfully. His face turned red.
Wyatt watched silently and sipped on his tea. ‘Hmph! This Salvador family is so messed up! Who would be crazy enough to marry their daughter into this tiger den?’ Seeing that the old man’s cough was getting worse, Gregory, Justin, and Matt quickly came forward to soothe his back.
“I don’t want you hanging around me! Where’s Anna? I want Anna to accompany me!” Nigel shouted with a red face.
Anna was like oxygen to Nigel. Without her, Nigel could barely breathe.
“Right, where did Ms. Brown go? Why haven’t we seen her for so long?” Bethany feigned surprise but smiled sinisterly in her heart.
At this time, Rosalind came over as if they had it all planned out.
“Rose, did you see Anna when you came here? Grandpa is looking for her,” Bethany asked hurriedly.
“I… I saw her.” Rosalind intertwined her fingers. Her eyes flickered, and she looked hesitant. “But… I don’t know if I should say anything…
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 193-Seeing Rosalind’s flickering expression, Nigel felt nervous and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? What happened to Anna?!” Justin’s heart also rippled uncontrollably.
“Rose, just say it openly. There are no outsiders here.” Shannon urged her with a cold glint in her eyes.
“I was walking in the villa and accidentally saw Ms. Brown and Mr. Thompson entering the same room… Mr. Thompson was drunk, so I think Ms. Brown must have gone in to take care of him.” Rosalind looked innocent as she said, “I was a little nervous at first, but since Mr. Thompson and Ms. Brown are dating, there’s nothing wrong with them being in the same room.” Justin’s eyes trembled, and he clenched his fists fiercely.
Wyatt was confused for a moment. He stood up abruptly and asked, “Who is my son with? Anna Brown? Who is that?!” “Um…” Rosalind looked at Justin in a panic.
Justin felt the blood gushing into his head. Without another word, he walked away briskly, shocking everyone.
Rosalind smiled slyly. ‘Anna… This time, I want your reputation to be ruined! I want Justin to see you as the shameless whore that you are!’ “You haven’t told me who Anna is yet!” Wyatt demanded as his temples twitched.
Wyatt had high hopes for his eldest son since he was just a child. How could a scheming woman get her hands on his son?
“Oh, no! Don’t you know her, Chairman Thompson?” Shannon pretended to be surprised. “Your son and Anna had officially announced their relationship earlier during the birthday banquet. At the charity auction, I also saw how close Madam Mila and Anna were, so I thought you had already met her.” “What? Mila also knows about her?!” Wyatt’s expression changed dramatically. His jaw was clenched.
Wyatt thought, ‘That woman is so scheming! She not only seduced my son but also cozied up to my wife! Who the hell is she?!’ “That’s enough! How Anna and Asher get along is their business. There’s no need for you to talk about it.” Nigel loved Anna, so he did not want to hear Shannon add fuel to the fire.
“Dad, it’s not really a private matter if you think about it.” Shannon’s eyes darkened, and she cleared her throat. “After all, Anna and Justin had just signed their divorce papers, and they have yet to finalize the divorce. So, in principle, she’s still a member of our family. We followed your wishes and waited until your 80th birthday before officially announcing Justin and Rose’s marriage. During these days, they kept a low profile just to please you. We can all see how much Rose suffered because of Anna. We endured it, but it seemed like Ms. Brown couldn’t hold it in anymore. She’s putting us in a difficult position, especially at your birthday banquet. If anything happens, our family is caught in the middle. It’s embarrassing…” Rosalind and Bethany exchanged glances. They were snickering with joy in their hearts.
Wyatt was stunned. His brain stopped working, and his mind went blank.
His son, the celibate, who had been single for 30 years, actually fell in love with Justin’s ex- wife?!
Wasn’t he a priest?! Why did he have such weird taste in women?!
What a sinner!
Justin ran wildly through the long corridor.
He had always been dignified and composed among the elites. For many years, no one had been able to mess with him.
However, this time, when he heard that Anna and Asher were in the same room, he became flustered. He just wanted to stop her and pull her back to him at all costs.
Justin thought, ‘Anna, I won’t allow Asher to touch you!’ When he arrived at the door of the room, Justin panted heavily while sweating through his shirt. His eyes were red.
He did not know what was going on inside the room. Were they already sleeping together? How far have they gone? Was it too late to stop them?
Justin felt like he was stabbed in the heart. He gritted his teeth and was about to knock on the door when it opened at this moment.
He saw Bella supporting a disheveled Asher and panting. She was equally startled to see Justin.
Justin’s hands froze in mid-air. His breathing was unsteady, and his thin lips trembled violently.
“Why are you here?” Bella’s heart suddenly clenched. She immediately laughed mockingly. “Oh, I guess the news spread quite fast. You must be the first one to come over and see the show, huh?” “Did he touch you?” Justin’s fingers were tense, and his handsome face turned pale.
“It has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way!” Bella’s forehead was covered in sweat. She wanted to stop her brother from suffering, so she pushed Justin away and walked toward the other end of the corridor.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 194-Justin was not willing to give up. He stepped forward and grabbed Bella’s thin arm, leaving red marks on her fair skin.
What was redder than those finger marks were his bloodshot and possessive eyes. touch you? Anna, answer me!” “Did he “Mr. Thompson was drugged at your party!” Bella glared at him with eyes full of hatred.
“What did you say?” Justin was startled.
“I have gotten the drug under control momentarily, but I don’t know what he’s drugged with, so I must take him to the hospital for a blood test immediately!” Bella’s eyes were red as she shook off Justin’s iron grip. “Justin, I don’t have time to waste talking to you about these underhanded tricks. If anything happens to Mr. Thompson, I won’t let any of you go! I will fight you to the end! You must pay for this dirty act!” Bella’s words were like knives stabbing Justin, penetrating his heart and lungs. His soul also seemed cut off by her.
Justin’s cheeks burned with shame. It felt like she had just slapped him.
He never thought Anna would go against him for Asher’s sake. He had also never seen a woman’s eyes be so fierce and beautiful at the same time.
“Anna… Come back!” Justin called out to her in a hoarse voice.
However, Bella did not stop for him.
At this time, loud footsteps were approaching from behind.
“Anna! Anna!” It was Nigel’s anxious voice.
Bella paused. She supported the unconscious Asher and turned around slowly.
The next second, her face turned pale, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Standing with the Salvador family was her father, Wyatt.
At this moment, Wyatt saw his daughter’s face clearly. He was stunned in place at first. Then he rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was hallucinating.
Bella’s throat was clogged. She could not make a single sound.
Panic, guilt, and shame came rushing over her, like thousands of ants nibbling at her chest.
“Chairman Thompson, Grandpa, Justin, look at her!” Rosalind took the opportunity to step forward and stared at Bella viciously. “Ms. Brown is embarrassing both your families! Justin said that he would finalize their divorce after Grandpa’s birthday, and Grandpa loved her so much. Couldn’t she just wait for a few more days for Grandpa’s sake? As Justin’s fiancée, I repeatedly gave in so that Grandpa could have a peaceful birthday. But Ms. Brown acted on a whim and did such embarrassing things to the Salvador family. Chairman Thompson, she threw herself at your son before her divorce was finalized and even slept with him during the party. Is she that desperate? Would you allow such an unruly woman to be associated with your son?” “Rosalind!” Justin was infuriated.
Rosalind was frightened by the man’s cold and sharp gaze, so she shuddered in fear.
However, there was no turning back. Since she had already exposed Anna, this was a rare opportunity to bring Anna down. Even if Justin became wary of her because of this, Rosalind still wanted to add insult to injury.
“Anna… You and Asher…” Nigel looked at the girl’s stiff face in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
Gregory shook his head, thinking that it was a good thing his son had broken up with this woman. Otherwise, this disgraceful woman would probably ruin his family.
“Well, never mind. It’s normal for youngsters to lose control sometimes.” Shannon pretended to be very understanding and sighed. “Fortunately, only our family knows about this. Otherwise, if word got out…” “Bella, come here.” Wyatt’s handsome and dignified face was gloomy. He suddenly interrupted Shannon.
Everyone looked at each other, confused. ‘Bella? Who was he referring to?’ Unexpectedly, Bella took a step forward sluggishly at this time. She took a deep breath, blushed in embarrassment, and said shyly, “Dad..
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 195-Bella’s voice was soft, but it was like a thunderclap that rang in everyone’s ears.
Nigel and Gregory gaped their mouths open, completely stunned.
Rosalind suddenly felt like her body was frozen. Her face was ashen. Shannon and Bethany were not much better either.
Who would have thought that Justin’s pushover ex-wife whom everyone thought came from the countryside was actually the daughter of the richest man in Hatchbay and heiress of KS Group?
“Mom… Is this true? This bitch…” Bethany timidly pulled Shannon, but Shannon shook her off irritably. “Shut up!” Justin’s body was frozen in place. Thousands of emotions surged in his heart, and the overwhelming confusion and shock were too much to bear.
How was it possible that his wife of three years, who had taken great care of my grandfather as a caregiver, was actually Wyatt Thompson’s daughter?
Justin took a deep breath, walked up to Bella, opened his red eyes, and stared intently at her familiar yet estranged face.
Bella pursed her lips and turned to look away. She felt guilty and annoyed, so she did not want to meet his overly piercing eyes.
“Is it really you?” Justin’s voice was hoarse.
“Yeah,” Bella replied coolly. Her eyes were blank.
“So, you were the one who went against the Gold family before, and you made me climb ten floors…” “Mr. Salvador, there’s no need to get into the details. It’s all me. I am Bella Thompson, the general manager of KS World Hotel and Wyatt Thompson’s daughter who has never shown her face in public.” Bella interrupted him with a cold voice, “But don’t get me wrong. As the top management of the hotel, I did everything based on the interests of the hotel, and I had no intention of targeting you. As for why I found a substitute to meet you at that time, I guess you’ve already figured out why. I concealed my identity so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. We can part ways amicably, so I didn’t want to see you in person.” Bella paused and lowered her eyelashes sadly. “I did lie to you about this, and I’m sorry for that.” She had lied to him again. This time, her deception was more outrageous than all the previous ones put together.
However, Justin was not as angry as he imagined he would be.
Instead of hating her for lying to him, Justin actually wanted to know why.
Why did this billionaire heiress willingly change her identity and work as a lowly caregiver for his grandfather? Why was she willing to marry him despite the grievances she suffered when she knew that he did not love her?
“So… You, Asher, and Axel…” “They are all my brothers from the same mother.” After Bella explained herself, she ignored him and walked toward Wyatt.
Justin took a cold breath. His heart shrank, and his chest felt crushed.
At this time, Steven hurried over after hearing the news. When he saw Wyatt and Bella together, he was shocked for a moment before he figured out what happened.
“Chairman Thompson, Ms. Bella.” “Steve, hold Asher. He’s drunk. I’m afraid Bella can’t support him.” Although Wyatt was so angry that his chest was about to explode, he did not want to lose his temper in front of the Salvadors, so he suppressed his anger for later. He would deal with his rebellious daughter after they left.
Steven rushed forward and put his arms around Asher’s waist to support him. Justin wanted to help, but Bella coldly refused.
“Mr. Salvador, you don’t have to worry. We can manage it ourselves.” Justin pursed his lips. His arms paused in midair awkwardly.
Bella ordered in a serious tone, “Steve, please contact the director of Thompson Hospital and tell him that Asher may need a gastric lavage.” “Gastric lavage?! Isn’t he just drunk?” “Asher is not drunk.” Bella raised her eyes and swept her sharp gaze across the Salvadors. “It’s clear from his reaction that he was drugged!” Everyone was shocked.
The three scheming women panicked, especially Bethany.
Her legs under her heavy dress were already trembling.
Wyatt’s handsome face turned to frost.
From the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with Asher. His son had a high tolerance for alcohol, so there was no way he would get drunk and lose his composure at Old Master Nigel’s birthday party. Sure enough, there was something fishy in this.
Steven helped Asher to the car first.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 196-Nigel’s face turned pale in anger, and his body trembled slightly. “Anna, what’s going on? Tell me what happened.” Although he knew that Bella was Wyatt’s daughter, he still could not kick the habit of calling her Anna.
“How is this possible?!” Gregory thought he had very strict rules for his family, so he felt humiliated when he heard that something like this happened under his watch. “The level of security in the mansion is very high. It’s so tightly guarded that no outsiders can come in or leave as they please. Moreover, those who came to celebrate my father’s birthday tonight are relatives and close friends. Who in their right mind would do such a dirty and despicable thing in broad daylight? There must be a misunderstanding. Perhaps Mr. Thompson has food poisoning, or an allergic reaction, or…” “It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. Thompson Hospital is very efficient. Everything will come to light once Asher’s blood work is out.” Bella raised her chin haughtily with a cold light in her eyes. “Also, you mentioned that this mansion is so tightly guarded that no outsiders can come in or leave as they please. Does that mean this is an inside job?” Gregory’s face turned pale for a moment, but he could not think of how to refute her.
Rosalind hid behind the Salvadors in fear, staggering two steps back in fear.
Rosalind comforted herself, ‘It’s okay… I’ll be fine… Bethany did it! I didn’t do anything…’ Bethany’s heart was beating like a drum.
She had agreed to drug Asher, while Rosalind would deal with Anna. Why did Asher get drugged, but nothing happened to this bitch?
Did Rosalind stay out of it?
Bethany gritted her teeth and stared at Rosalind. ‘We promised to do it together, but you secretly backed out! You coward!’ “Ms. Brown-Thompson, you’re going overboard with your accusations!” Shannon was afraid that her schemes would be exposed, so she hurriedly chimed in. “We have no enmity with you or Mr. Thompson, so why would we harm him?” “That’s enough! You have no place to speak here!” Nigel could not bear it anymore and roared angrily.
Shannon was scolded like a mere servant. She was so angry that she wanted to poison the old man.
“You might not want to harm Asher, but you used him like a pawn. Whoever did this is targeting me.” Bella’s eyes were calm and fearless.
Justin trembled as he glanced at Shannon and Bethany with gloomy and suspicious eyes.
From the beginning, Justin felt it was strange that Asher and Wyatt, who were not on the guest list, suddenly showed up at Nigel’s birthday party.
Justin recalled how Shannon revealed his relationship with Bella in front of Wyatt. Soon after, Asher and Bella were supposedly seen going into the same room.
All of this was too coincidental.
“After I finished singing on stage, a maid came to me and said that Asher was feeling unwell, so he was resting in a room. She asked me to check on him, so I followed her out of concern and didn’t think much of it. I didn’t expect something like this to happen.” Bella clenched her teeth. Her charming eyes were red with resentment. “In order to protect me, Asher held glass fragments in his hand and hurt himself to keep a clear mind. That way, their schemes wouldn’t work. Since I’ve always concealed my identity, no one in the Salvador family knew that I was a Thompson and wanted to take revenge on me. But they never imagined that Asher and I were siblings. If they had known, they probably wouldn’t have used this trick.” Wyatt was distressed. He suppressed his anger and sneered. “Gregory, you’d better give me an explanation for tonight’s matter. Otherwise, I won’t let this slide!” “Chairman Thompson, I think there must be a misunderstanding.” Gregory was so anxious that he spoke quickly.
Wyatt waved his hand irritably. “I don’t want to hear it! My son and daughter were plotted against in your house. My son is now unconscious. I don’t care if this is done by your family or someone else. This happened under your roof, so you must give me an explanation!” “Aren’t you making things difficult for me?” Gregory’s face flushed with anger.
“Hah! Your son isn’t the one who is drugged right now! What’s so difficult about this?” Wyatt narrowed his eagle eyes and said, “Gregory, are you incapable of investigating, or do you not dare to investigate this?” Gregory clenched his teeth, feeling dizzy with anger.
When Bella saw her father standing up for her and Asher, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Her eyes teared up.
Although Wyatt was a womanizer, he still looked out and protected his family.
Rosalind’s gauze skirt was soaked with cold sweat, skirt was soaked with cold sweat, while Bethany was about to have a mental breakdown. She had already stepped back slowly while holding the hem of her dress, ready to run away.
“Ms. Bethany, where are you going?” Bethany was so frightened by the sudden voice that she almost screamed.
She looked up abruptly and saw Ryan walking toward them calmly. His charming eyes were chilly.
Everyone saw that he was holding a sleeping girl in his arms.
Bethany was infuriated. Hatred spread uncontrollably throughout her body.
The girl Ryan was holding so carefully was Carrie.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 197-Carrie slept soundly in Ryan’s arms, grabbing onto his shirt with her little hands. Her beautiful and long eyelashes fluttered gently. She looked like an angel that had fallen to earth.
Ryan lowered his eyes.
He had been with many women before, so he was quick to calm his desires. When he looked at Bethany again, his eyes were extremely sharp. “Ms. Bethany, if you leave now, you won’t be able to see the exciting segment that’s coming next.” “1… “I… I want to go to the bathroom.” Bethany’s forehead was sweating, and her heart was pounding.
“You can still go after you see this.” Ryan hugged Carrie tightly and walked toward Bella and Justin calmly.
Just as he walked past Bethany, she was shocked to see that his exposed neck was dotted with eye-catching red marks!
Bethany’s spine stiffened, and her mind buzzed.
Ryan did not seem drugged, so where did these hickeys come from?
At this time, Carrie seemed to stir in her sleep because of a nightmare.
Bethany’s heart thumped, and her eyes dimmed.
Was Carrie the one who was drugged? Did Carrie and Ryan sleep together?!
Damn it! This fool got a bargain!
“Carrie!” Bella and Justin said it in unison.
“What’s wrong with my granddaughter?!” Nigel had not seen his youngest granddaughter all night. Seeing her being held by Ryan, Nigel felt nervous.
Gregory and Shannon were also surprised and anxious.
“Grandpa, Justin, don’t be afraid. Carrie is fine. I’m very experienced in dealing with this kind. of thing.” Ryan took a deep breath.
“Experienced?” Justin frowned and said in a low voice, “Ryan, if you used your ‘experience’ on Carrie, I won’t let you off lightly!” “Tsk! Why are you so wary of me as if I’m a pervert?” Ryan coughed lightly. His eyes flickered.
Bella was observant and noticed the red marks on his neck, but she did not say anything. She only glared at him.
“Ryan! What’s going on? Tell me quickly!” Gregory asked anxiously.
Ryan took a deep breath and spoke coldly. “Carrie was drugged. I found her in the bushes in the garden. The drug had already taken effect, so she was in critical condition. I made her drink a lot of water and gave her some medicine. She’s quite stable now, and she will be fine after sleeping it off.” Everyone was shocked. Shannon’s and Rosalind’s faces were grim.
Nigel’s body shook, and he could no longer stand still. “What… Carrie is also drugged?” “Dad, calm down! Matt, help Dad!” Gregory was worried about his father’s health and hurriedly stepped forward to support Nigel with Matt’s help.
“Grandpa!” Bella was also worried about Nigel and stepped forward with concern.
Wyatt sneered. Seeing his daughter so concerned over another fatherly figure, Wyatt felt jealous.
“Right now, the situation is pretty clear.” Bella’s sharp eyes flickered between Bethany and Rosalind. “At that time, the only people sitting at the table with my eldest brother were Mr. Salvador and Mr. Hoffman. But the only one who was drugged at the table was my eldest brother. The other person who got drugged tonight was Carrie. Presumably, Carrie drank the glass of wine that should have been served with the glass that my brother drank. No one expected Carrie to drink it by mistake, which led to the current situation.” Justin and Ryan looked at her in admiration.
This woman was clear-minded and logical in analyzing the current situation properly.
“So, who should the wine that Carrie drank be given to? I don’t think that it should be Mr. Salvador, because the Salvador family would not be dumb enough to drug their own family members at their own banquet.” Bella’s words made everyone turn to Ryan.
Ryan pursed his thin lips tightly. His charming eyes suddenly became cold and stern.
What he hated most were people who used such despicable methods on him. He did not expect that someone would dare to drug him at Nigel’s birthday party.
How dare they!
“Catch the maid that was involved in this.” Justin’s angry red eyes were sharp and murderous. “Bring her here. Ms. Thompson and I will interrogate her. Tonight, no one will be able to leave this mansion before Ms. Thompson gets an explanation!” Bella’s heart trembled as she looked at Justin’s determined face with disbelief.
At this moment, the man also turned to look at her. Their hearts rippled when they met each other’s eyes.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 198-Justin! What do you mean by this? Are you going to lock us down? Are you treating us as suspects?!” Shannon was afraid that the matter would be exposed if this continued, so she strongly opposed the lockdown.
“Aunt Shannon, you’re not suspects. I just want you all to cooperate with me in eliminating the scum hiding in the mansion.” Justin’s dark eyes were more intimidating than Gregory’s. “If you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t fret or have any objections to this.” “Right!” Nigel said angrily, “We will never tolerate such a shameful act! We must get to the bottom of it and give Anna and Mr. Thompson an explanation!” Bethany was so flustered that her teeth chattered. Shannon was also speechless.
“Mr. Salvador!” At this time, Ian came with two bodyguards and the maid in tow.
The bodyguards threw the maid to the floor. The maid’s legs became weak, and she fell in front of everyone.
“Fortunately, you gave the order in time. I took the surveillance footage and blocked the front and back doors. Sure enough, this woman was sneaking around and trying to crawl out of the dog hole in the garden. I caught her red-handed.” Bella was shocked.
When did Justin realize something was wrong? He was so quick to act.
“Tsk! She’s basically confessing to her crimes by doing this.” Ryan stared at the maid with sharp eyes. “What else is there to interrogate? Who in their right mind would go through a dog hole?” “We must interrogate her.” Justin’s dark eyes were like glaciers. “I want to catch the person who put the bait.” “Mr. Salvador… I have an emergency at home. All the doors are locked, so I have no choice but to crawl out through the garden… I didn’t do anything… I don’t know anything!” The maid quivered.
“I remember you were the one who served us drinks earlier,” Ryan said.
“You were also the one who asked me to go to the room to take care of my eldest brother,” Bella added coldly.
“Mr. Salvador, I’ve checked the surveillance footage. No one interacted with her from the pantry to the banquet hall. That means no one except her touched the drinks on your table.” Ian added his suspicions.
“But this doesn’t mean that I spiked the drinks…” The maid was sweating profusely and struggling to breathe.
“Huh? That’s weird.” Bella tilted her head and blinked her shrewd eyes. “We didn’t tell you what happened. How did you know that someone spiked the drinks?” Everyone looked at the maid with a complicated and suspicious gaze.
“I… I heard it when I came here…” The maid’s face turned red with embarrassment.
“You heard it? Do you have super hearing?” Ian could not bear to listen to her explanation. He took out his phone and clicked on the surveillance footage. Then he handed it to Justin. “Mr. Salvador, I checked the surveillance footage for this woman’s movements. It’s true that we couldn’t see that she had spiked the drinks.” ))
When the maid heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Bethany also let out a sigh of relief.
“But I found this.” Justin held the phone. Bella was curious and came over to take a look.
The man subconsciously leaned toward her.
Their foreheads suddenly collided, and they both looked up. Bella felt burned by Justin’s intense gaze, so she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
Justin’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Inexplicably, he felt a burning desire in his heart.
On the screen, the maid looked left and right by the trash can in the backyard before discarding the empty vials. This was captured in high definition.
“This woman had deliberately avoided the cameras in the mansion, but the backyard was dense with greenery, so she didn’t notice that one of the cameras was blocked by the branches. That’s how we captured the scene of her destroying the evidence on camera.” Ian sneered. “In the end, she’s not careful enough.” “No, no! I only threw away the medicine that I took for myself. It was just an ordinary painkiller. It was not a drug!” The maid tried her best to argue. She would not give up.
“Ian, did you bring the evidence?” Justin ignored her and asked in a deep voice.
“Yes.” Ian took out two vials from the plastic bag and handed them to Justin respectfully.
Justin clenched his jaw and raised the plastic bag. “There is still some residue in the vials. Take it to the hospital for testing immediately. If the substance found isn’t painkillers, take this woman to the police station immediately and make sure she gets punished for her crimes.’ Seeing that she was discovered, the maid cried and kneeled at Justin’s feet. “Mr. Salvador, please spare me! I didn’t want to spike the drinks. It’s…” The maid turned around abruptly and pointed at Bethany. “It’s Ms. Bethany’s idea! She ordered me to do this!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 199-Everyone’s sharp eyes turned to Bethany.
“Bethany… Did you really do this?!” Nigel was shocked.
Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly and glared at the frightened Bethany.
If Carrie had not mistakenly drunk that glass of wine, he would have become this insidious woman’s plaything!
Bella lowered her eyelids and showed no emotion. She curled her red lips slightly, as if she had seen through all the conspiracies.
“You! How dare you slander me?!” Bethany yelled and tried to rush forward in anger, but Shannon stopped her. “I am the chairman’s daughter! You’d better think clearly about the consequences before tarnishing my reputation!” Although she sounded tough, she was actually scared to death.
However, she could not rat out Rosalind because it would just show that she was also involved in the drugging.
Bethany was sweating profusely. That was when she realized that she had been tricked by that bitch, Rosalind.
“How can you be so vicious? Our family treats all servants well, but you wanted to drug these two young masters and blamed it on me when your evil deeds were exposed. You evil witch! Last time, Bethany only reprimanded you, but you held a grudge and wanted to drag my daughter down with you, right? Dream on!” As Shannon said that, she pulled Gregory’s arm anxiously. “Greg! Call the police and arrest this vicious woman! She is slandering our daughter!” Gregory naturally did not believe that his beloved daughter would do something so despicable, so he shouted sternly, “Guards, tie her up and call the police!” “I didn’t…. I didn’t! It was Ms. Bethany! She also said that she would give me a large sum of money after I completed the task! That way, I can live a good life and never have to be bossed around again! Ms. Bethany, how can you not admit your fault?! You wanted to seduce Mr. Hoffman! Please say something!” The maid stared at Bethany with red eyes and shouted hysterically.
Shannon wanted to plug her mouth with a dirty rag and ordered for the maid to be dragged out.
She was sure that the maid had no evidence to point it back to Bethany. Otherwise, she would have produced it long ago.
At this point, Bella figured out the entire situation, but she still felt that it was too simple.
She had lived with the Salvadors for three years and knew Bethany relatively well. She felt that Bethany’s pea-brain would never be able to come up with such a vicious and roundabout plan.
This seemed more like Shannon’s idea, but Shannon would not drug her own daughter.
Therefore, Bella had reason to suspect that the mastermind behind this was Rosalind.
At this moment, Bella keenly caught a hint of the sinister smile on Rosalind’s face.
Anger surged in her heart, but she forced herself to suppress it. After all, Bella had no evidence…. or reason to doubt Rosalind. Instead, it would seem like she was randomly targeting Rosalind. Bella did not want to give Rosalind a chance to slither away.
“Chairman Thompson, what happened this time is indeed a serious oversight in the management of our household staff. We are deeply sorry for causing such trouble.” Gregory said to Wyatt in a solemn tone, “Please accept our sincere apology for not vetting our staff properly.” Wyatt seemed to be smiling, but he did not say a word.
Gregory’s face was grim. ‘The old fox Wyatt is just trying to make me look bad for not accepting my apology!’ Justin did not agree with jumping to a conclusion like that. His eyes were cold, and he said, No, this is obviously…” “Dad, since Chairman Salvador has apologized to us and the maid who drugged Asher has been discovered, let’s just leave it as it is tonight.” Bella interrupted Justin. “After all, nothing serious happened to us. Both our families are well respected in Savrow. If this gets too big, it’ll just be embarrassing. Let’s just be the bigger person and let it go.” Justin looked at her in surprise.
No, something was definitely wrong.
The former Anna might swallow this grievance, but Bella Thompson would never let it slide!
Justin could not forget the fierce look in her eyes when Asher was drugged. She looked like an enraged little beast that wanted to tear the mastermind to pieces. How could she let it go so easily?
Was she planning a more lethal counterattack?
When Ryan heard Anna call Wyatt, “dad”, he was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out, and his mind went blank.
He had not noticed that Anna recognized such a powerful father. It seemed like the gap between him and Bella was growing.
“Gregory, I’m only accepting your apology because of my daughter.” Wyatt’s tone was cold. Everyone could hear how reluctant he was to accept this explanation.
Bethany saw that she had escaped, so she leaned into Shannon’s arms tiredly. Shannon took the opportunity and quickly left with her daughter.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 200-After such a farce, Nigel had no intention of celebrating his birthday anymore. Wyatt and Bella also did not stay any longer.
The Salvadors sent Bella and Wyatt out. Justin walked silently beside Bella along the way. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated several times.
Wyatt kept scanning Justin in his peripheral vision. If his eyes were machine guns, Justin would have been dead by now.
Wyatt thought, ‘How dare this brat marry my most precious daughter?! He’s so lucky to get Bella to love him so much. The only good thing about him is his looks! Bah!’ “Chairman Thompson!” Rosalind caught up to them and looked at Wyatt innocently. “I’m really sorry that I misunderstood what happened tonight… I really didn’t know that Ms. Brown was your daughter, so I misunderstood that she was in a relationship with Mr. Thompson…” Wyatt held back his anger and kept walking without sparing a glance at her. “Ms. Gold, if Bella wasn’t my daughter, would you have added fuel to the fire and stirred up trouble?” “I didn’t mean that…” Rosalind was so frightened that her heart twitched.
Justin recalled how Rosalind had reported Bella and Asher’s “affair” in front of Wyatt and Nigel. Her eyes were so sinister that he felt estranged from her.
His thin lips curled into a cold arc as he felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment.
“Ms. Gold, I advise you not to jump to conclusions if you don’t know the whole story. Words can be more detrimental than actions. If it were another girl, how would you ask her to explain herself? You’re just harming others by doing this.” Wyatt shook his head and quickened his pace.
Rosalind watched as they walked away. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Even Justin did not stay back for her. She could not help but feel a chill all over her body, as if someone had poured cold water all over her.
Outside the door, four luxury cars were lined up. Steven led several bodyguards to greet Wyatt and Bella.
“Anna! Wait!” Nigel could not help but hold Bella’s hand with tears in his eyes. “Anna, why did you suddenly become Wyatt’s daughter? Why didn’t you tell us about your identity? Why did you want to be my caregiver?” Bella sighed sadly. “I concealed my identity and married Justin because of the century-old grudge between our families. We’re not allowed to marry anyone from the Salvador family. Moreover, our families are business rivals, so my identity is too sensitive. If I say that I’m Wyatt’s daughter, I probably won’t get the chance to be by your side…” Wyatt and Gregory had intriguing expressions, while Justin’s heart was filled with bitterness and mixed feelings.
“You silly girl, you think too much!” Nigel felt heartbroken. He squeezed her little hand and said, “To hell with that ancestral grudge! That’s all nonsense. I never said that you couldn’t marry into my family. As long as you’re in love and good for each other, why can’t you be together? I fully support you and Justin being together! I’m shipping you two!” Bella chuckled. This cute old man sure knew modern slang.
“Grandpa, I’m not a good person. I have lied to you for so long. Justin and I aren’t in love with each other either. So, even without the ancestral grudge, we still can’t be together.” Justin felt suffocated. There was a look of despair in his eyes.
“Grandpa, now that your birthday is over, Justin and I have to finalize the divorce.” When Bella said this, she felt a vivid pain as if she had been stabbed. She hugged Nigel with red eyes and continued, “Although I will no longer be your granddaughter-in-law, I am always your Anna, and you will always be my grandpa. Grandpa, I love you forever. You must stay healthy and live a long life.” Nigel hugged her tightly and sobbed.
Seeing that Bella was about to get in the car, Justin finally could not hold it in anymore and rushed forward to grab her.
Bella was no longer someone he could easily approach.
He wanted to touch her hand, but he stiffly and reluctantly retracted his hand.
“Can you answer one question?” Bella froze and looked back coldly.
“When you concealed your identity and married me, was it only because of the relationship between the two families?” Justin’s thin lips trembled slightly. He looked at her deeply, as if this was the last time he would see her.
“Yes.” Bella looked tired and only responded softly.
“Why did you marry me?” Justin was unreconciled. His eyes were red as he asked, “You’re the heiress of KS Group, so you have no financial worries. When my grandfather proposed that you marry me, you knew that it was a contract marriage, and you knew that there was no future… Why did you still want to marry me?!”
