Ch. 201..210
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 201-Contract marriage?!
Wyatt’s eyes darkened. He was so angry that he really wanted to punch Justin in the face.
However, Wyatt could not understand his own daughter.
He originally thought that Bella was crazy enough to go on the battlefield and save lives by healing the wounded at the risk of being blown to pieces.
Unexpectedly, his fearless daughter disappeared for three years just so she could marry the son of his mortal enemy! On top of that, it was just a contract marriage!
At this moment, Wyatt wanted to dig out Bella’s brain to see what she was thinking.
Justin’s eyes widened, and his chest felt stuffy, making him unable to breathe.
Bella was leaving him completely. Their three-year marriage would end with the unsatisfactory ending of his grandfather’s birthday party.
However, Justin did not want to be kept in the dark. He wanted an answer.
“If I remember correctly, we met for the first time three years ago. Why didn’t you refuse when Grandpa asked you to marry me?” Bella’s bright eyes narrowed into two sharp cat eyes. She looked at him mercilessly and said, “We’re divorced, so why are you still holding on to such an insignificant thing? Just take it as I was bored and wanted to experience married life. Coincidentally, Grandpa gave me a chance.” “Bella!” Justin called her by her real name and said in a hoarse voice, “I just want an answer. I want to hear the truth!” “Mr. Salvador, there’s no point pursuing the past. You should look forward to the bright future ahead. Don’t dwell on unnecessary things and move on.” After saying that, Bella generously extended her right hand to Justin. “We will be business rivals the next time we meet. I won’t show you any mercy, so I hope you do the same, Mr. Salvador. Don’t think about our past relationship and compete with me with all your strength.” Bella wanted to say “our past love”, but she thought that it was not accurate to say that because he had never loved her.
Justin felt as if a piece of his heart had been taken away. He took a deep breath, but he could not shake her hand.
It seemed that if he shook her hand, they would never meet again.
Bella shrugged and got into the car without saying another word.
Just as the luxury car’s engine started, Bella lowered the window and raised her bright face to look at Justin.
Justin’s heart was beating violently. What she said next made him freeze on the spot.
“Mr. Salvador, see you at City Hall at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
The luxury car drove away in front of Justin. He felt like those heavy wheels seemed to have run over and crushed his heart.
Behind him, Nigel wiped away his tears, while Gregory’s expression was complicated.
“What? Now you think of how great Ms. Thompson was after she left? Do you regret it now?” Nigel glanced at Gregory in displeasure.
Gregory said, “Dad, I…” “Justin’s behavior is the same as yours! He treats treasure like trash and thinks trash is treasure. How blind! Hmph!” Gregory was frustrated and gritted his teeth, not daring to say a word.
He never thought that a caregiver from the countryside, who had not complained about her grievances for three years, would become the most beloved daughter of the richest man in Hatchbay just after the divorce.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 202-Although the Salvador family was also a prominent and wealthy family in Savrow, if the news of Justin and Bella’s marriage got out, their stock prices would increase exponentially.
However, this was all in vain now.
The night sky was pitch black. Bella was sitting in the car, looking out the window. Her eyes were distant, and her heart felt cold.
She repeatedly recalled the look in Justin’s eyes when he asked her why she married him. They looked so broken and dejected, as if she had abandoned him.
Bella clenched her fists and shook her head vigorously. ‘I can’t sympathize with that man! Sympathy is the beginning of a tragedy.’ It was impossible for Justin to fall in love with her. If he could fall in love with her, wouldn’t three years be enough? Why would Justin look so bitter and hateful now, as if she was the one who forced the divorce on him? He was probably just pretending because Wyatt was present, and he wanted to excuse his neglect and ruthlessness, right?
“So, why did you marry him?” Wyatt gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and looked at his daughter.
Bella rolled her eyes in frustration. “Wyatt, don’t ask for more details. It’s all in the past.” “In the past, my ass!” Wyatt yelled, frightening both the driver and Steven, who was in the passenger seat. “My most precious daughter quietly married that Salvador brat for three years, and you still end up divorced! If I hadn’t attended Nigel’s birthday party today, were you planning to hide this from me for the rest of your life?!” “So, why did you go? Did Gregory invite you?” Bella tried to change the subject.
“Don’t you dare change the subject!” “Well…” Bella pressed her lower lip and said, “Because he’s handsome…” “He’s handsome?! Which of my sons is not more handsome than Justin Salvador?!” “But none of your sons can marry me!” Wyatt was rendered speechless for a moment. He continued to yell, “Then how much did they give you? What are your wedding gifts? How many pieces of jewelry, villas, and cars did you get? How much of their shares do you own? Why didn’t I see the media reporting about your wedding? It’s such a big event for the Salvador Corporation’s president to get married. Knowing Gregory, he’ll make a big deal out of it, especially if he has a daughter-in-law from such a wealthy background as you. Why didn’t he prance around in the streets like a smug cat?” “Wyatt, you must have forgotten that I used a fake identity to marry Justin for the past three years. They didn’t even know that I was your daughter.” Bella was a little disappointed at first, but she almost laughed when she heard what her father said. ” Also, I don’t like being high-profile, so I kept everything simple.” Wyatt remembered how the Salvadors were insinuating “Anna” earlier and was so furious that he wished he could bankrupt them by tomorrow.
“You would rather suffer for three years and marry this boy with a fake identity? Bella, are you crazy, stupid, or possessed?! This is not the way my daughter behaves!” Even Wyatt looked at her in disbelief.
Bella was not crazy, stupid, or possessed. She just loved Justin so much that she wanted to marry him at all costs.
She smiled bitterly, took hold of Wyatt’s cold hand, and gently covered it with hers.
“In the past three years, Justin has never mistreated me. We had a good time together. Don’t worry about me, Dad. Look, aren’t I back now?” “What else can you do if you don’t come home?” Wyatt was angry and distressed. His handsome and strong features were contorted with anger. He looked like he had suddenly aged several years. “Fine, since you got married with a fake identity. Justin’s ex-wife is Anna Brown the fool, not my Bella. My Bella is still the best and most precious baby in the world that no man deserves!” “Exactly! It’s all about the perspective!” Bella hugged her father and leaned on his shoulder.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 203-After the birthday banquet, Nigel was worried about Carrie and asked his personal doctor to come over and check up on her. Only then did the old man feel reassured.
In the corridor, two handsome men stood leaning against the window sill.
Justin asked Ryan for a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff. The smoke filled the air.
“Anna… Her real name is Bella Thompson, and she is the legendary daughter of Wyatt Thompson?!” Ryan still felt like it was all just a dream.
“Yeah.” Justin’s fingers trembled as he flicked the cigarette ashes.
“Fuck! Justin, you won the jackpot! How did you get so lucky?!” Ryan patted Justin’s shoulder heavily. His charming eyes were sparkling. “You unknowingly became Wyatt’s ex-son-in-law. If you hadn’t divorced her, wouldn’t your net worth and career soar by now? You have the richest man in Hatchbay as your backer. Do you think your father and your evil stepmother will dare to bully you again? The entire Salvador Corporation will be in your grasp.’ “Even without Bella, Salvador Corporation would still be in my hands.” Justin blew out a smoke ring and glanced at Ryan resentfully. “Do you think that I’m a useless man who needs to rely on women to get to my position?” “No, you’re not destined for that carefree life. You’re a workaholic destined to work all your life!” Justin was speechless.
“I just feel that it’s such a pity. If you could use the Thompson family’s influence, you could’ve retired ten years earlier!” Ryan sighed with regret.
Justin crushed the cigarette butt and felt empty and regretful, but he said the opposite to Ryan.
“I just don’t understand why she wanted to marry me back then.” “I don’t understand either. You have a bad temper, and you’re so unromantic. You even love someone else! She would be better off marrying me than you.” Ryan spoke bluntly.
“Ryan, do you think that Wyatt will like you? Are you worthy of Bella?” Justin’s eyes darkened. He had the urge to strangle Ryan.
“At the very least, I’m not as petty as you. You just assume the worst of her when you see her with another man. Based on this alone, I think I would get more points than you in front of Bella. Don’t you agree?” Ryan wanted to laugh. “Oh, right! Remember how you used to make trouble for her every day because she was close to Asher? You even said so many unpleasant things to her. Don’t you regret it now?” “Who asked her to hide her identity from me?” Justin was infuriated when he thought of this.
“You’re divorced, so there’s no need for her to tell you her true identity. Besides, if you had any trust in her, you wouldn’t have done all those shitty things. That’s why I think that you two wouldn’t have lasted long anyway. You have no feelings, no trust, and no responsibility for Ms. Thompson. I can only say that I admire her willpower to endure all this for three years. If I were her, I would’ve left you in a heartbeat.” Ryan could see everything clearly as a bystander. At this moment, his analysis pierced through Justin’s inner thoughts.
Justin’s thin lips were pursed tightly, and the veins on the back of his clenched fists were bulging.
Ryan squeezed Justin’s broad shoulders and smiled confidently. “Bro, I have learned an important lesson from you. I promise to never follow in your footsteps and learn from your mistakes. Whether she is Anna Brown or Bella Thompson, I will definitely pursue her as best I can. Wish me luck!” “Get lost!” If looks could kill, Justin would have chopped Ryan into pieces.
“Alright, I’ll leave.” Before leaving, Ryan suddenly paused and narrowed his eyes intriguingly. “Are you just going to forget about what happened tonight?” “Shannon and Bethany are inevitably involved in this.” Justin’s voice was as deep. “Even if I have evidence, Gregory will suppress this matter because he wouldn’t want a family scandal to be made public. So I can only suppress them in other ways to teach them a lesson.” “Ms. Thompson turned out fine this time, but what if…” “Then Shannon and Bethany will be the ones taken away by the police tonight!” Ryan took a breath of cold air.
At this moment, Justin’s body exuded such chill and hostility. If anything happened to Bella, he would kill them all without leaving a trace.
Justin felt a sense of crisis all of a sudden.
“What about your fiancée? When Bella was in trouble, Rosalind was the first one to spread the news to Chairman Thompson. Aren’t you suspicious of her?” Justin’s eyebrows furrowed. Annoyance and suspicion filled his heart.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 204-Justin never believed in coincidences.
However, he hoped, for Rosalind’s sake, that this was really just a coincidence.
“Mr. Salvador!” Ian ran over, panting, and handed the phone to Justin. “I have screened through the surveillance footage for all movements of Madam Shannon, Ms. Bethany, and Ms. Gold tonight. Please take a look.” “Good job! You’re quite efficient!” Upon hearing this, Ryan stopped in his footsteps and turned back to take a look.
Justin lowered his eyes and watched closely, breathing heavily.
“In the video, Ms. Gold had close contact with Madam Shannon and Ms. Bethany. What’s even weirder is…” Ian’s eyes darkened as he continued, “I didn’t see Ms. Gold anywhere near the room where Mr. Thompson and Ms. Thompson were at when I checked the surveillance footage.” “Hah! This is interesting.” Ryan laughed. “If she never showed up there, how did she allegedly see Mr. Thompson and Ms. Thompson going into the same room?” Justin frowned deeply. There was a buzzing sound in his ear, and he felt like he had been slapped in the face.
The Salvadors were gathered in the front hall. Rosalind was also there.
Bethany’s face was pale. She said she was feeling unwell, but in fact, she was frightened by what happened tonight.
Fortunately, Gregory believed Bethany unconditionally. Shannon also supported her, so Bethany escaped suspicion.
At this moment, Bethany was glaring at Rosalind, who looked innocent. She really wanted to scratch Rosalind’s duplicitous face.
“I really didn’t expect that we would allow a liar to marry Justin.” Shannon hugged Bethany’s shoulders and sat on the sofa. She was furious when she thought of how Bella stole the limelight tonight.” “Yeah! She actually concealed her true identity and stayed with Justin for three years. It’s scary to think about it… Is this considered fraud?” Rosalind asked, pretending to be worried.
“Hah! You guys are quite good at orchestrating this performance, huh? Why didn’t you two clowns go on stage and perform for my birthday?” Nigel glared at them and sneered.
Shannon and Rosalind’s expressions instantly froze.
At this time, Justin walked over with a sullen face. He had heard Nigel’s words clearly.
“You two keep saying that Ms. Thompson is a fraud. But what did she take from you? Was it money, shares, or property? Ms. Thompson fulfilled her duties as a wife to Justin. She was respectful to her elders, polite to Bethany, and took good care of Carrie. Even when Justin divorced her, she left without taking a penny from us. So, how did she defraud you?” Nigel was old, but he was not senile. Instead, his mind was clear and sharp. “You three have tortured Ms. Thompson over the past three years. Although I didn’t live here with you all, I know what goes on behind closed doors!” “Dad, we know what kind of person Ms. Thompson is. Shannon only voiced her worries…” Gregory gritted his teeth and spoke up to smooth things over.
“I think you thought the same of her until you found out that she was Wyatt’s daughter, right?” Nigel leaned back and looked at Gregory scornfully. “It’s too late to regret it. You didn’t want a billionaire heiress as your daughter-in-law and insisted on choosing this woman from a poor family who has a million lawsuits and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Gregory, don’t you think that your net worth would be several times higher if you had Bella Thompson as your daughter-in-law? Haven’t you always wanted to expand your business in Hatchbay? Don’t you think you’re at a loss now?” Gregory gritted his teeth. His face was flushed with embarrassment.
Even Shannon could see her husband’s regret for choosing Rosalind over Bella and felt vexed.
Bella was indeed the best of the elites. She was Wyatt’s only daughter from his first wife. In comparison, the Gold family could not hold a candle to the Thompsons. It was no wonder Gregory would be upset.
Justin’s pale lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Rosalind said angrily, “Grandpa, I know you have always looked down on me and my family, but love can’t be measured in terms of money. So what if the Thompson family is rich? Justin and I truly love each other. We are childhood sweethearts, and I accompanied Justin through his worst childhood trauma. Our relationship is irreplaceable!” With that, Rosalind ran over to Justin and tugged at the corner of his shirt anxiously. “Justin, please say something!” Justin lowered his eyes feebly and stared at her with an indifferent look that she had never seen before.
At this moment, Justin tried hard to recall every bit of his childhood spent with this woman.
However, he found that his mind was blank. Those beautiful memories he treasured gradually became distant and finally turned into nothing.
In the end, the light in his eyes was extinguished. His hoarse voice was filled with exhaustion and disappointment.
“Rose, let’s put our marriage on hold for now.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 205-Justin said those few words calmly. His heart was numb.
However, that sentence was like a nuclear bomb that landed on Rosalind’s head. She was stunned, and her cheeks burned, as if she had been slapped.
Gregory and Shannon were also dumbfounded. Only Bethany could not help but smile sinisterly.
After what happened tonight, Bethany finally saw Rosalind’s true colors. Rosalind used her as a scapegoat, so Bethany did not want Rosalind to marry into her family.
The wedding was only postponed. If it was up to Bethany, she would cancel the wedding and beat Rosalind to death.
“Justin… Do you not want me anymore?!” Rosalind was shocked. She held Justin’s arm tightly as tears streamed down her face. “Is it because Anna happens to be Wyatt Thompson’s daughter? Is that why you’re going to abandon me? Do you regret divorcing her?!” “Whether she is Anna Brown or Bella Thompson has nothing to do with us.” Justin slowly and resolutely pushed her hand away. His stunning eyes were cold. “I warned you not to cause trouble for her again, but what did you do? You repeatedly framed and slandered her, and even pushed her to the forefront. I don’t understand why you hate her so much.” “No! Justin! I just wanted you to see Anna’s true colors. I didn’t want you to be bewitched by her again!” Rosalind rushed forward in panic, but Justin took a step back. She missed him and almost fell to the floor.
“She has been lying to you from the beginning! You’re going to ruin our relationship of more than ten years just because of a wicked woman with ulterior motives… Don’t you feel sorry for me?!” “She lied to me, but she never harmed anyone.” Justin thought of Bella’s bright smile, which was once only for him, and felt regretful. His eyes were red as he said in a cold voice, “That’s it. You and I should take a break to calm down and think about whether we are truly suitable for each other.” Rosalind watched the man leave. She felt like someone was strangling her throat, and she could not breathe.
How could this happen? How did they end up like this?!
Her dream wedding was gone just like that. Rosalind refused to accept this and swore to marry Justin at all costs.
After more than ten years of strategizing, Rosalind would not allow that bitch, Bella, to ruin her plans.
“Hmph! My grandson is a devoted person in relationships, but he’s not a fool. He can still differentiate right from wrong! Ms. Gold, I thought you could at least keep up the act until Justin marries you before you show your true colors. I didn’t expect you to expose your devious thoughts so soon.
Nigel became angrier as he spoke. The tip of his nose turned red. “It’s all your own doing that you two end up like this. You have repeatedly twisted the story, sowed discord, and bullied Anna!” “Old Master, the young madam’s name is Bella now, not Anna…” Matt reminded Nigel in a low voice.
“Oh, what does it matter? It’s all the same!” Nigel did not care.
Rosalind’s fingers were intertwined. She was so angry and embarrassed that she did not know what to do.
Bethany, who was on the side, shrugged her shoulders and wanted to laugh. She felt relieved that Rosalind had been punished.
“Let’s go, Matt! I need a drink and some food!” “Um… Old Master, you’ve drank a lot today during the party. For the sake of your health…”- “I’m happier now than when I was at the party. Just do as I say. Don’t be such a nag…” Nigel muttered and left with Matt.
The air in the living room was tense.
“Greg! Greg, you must persuade Justin to change his mind! The news of their marriage is widely known, so how can he cancel it now? It will only embarrass our family!” Shannon was furious. She shook Gregory’s arm frantically, acting just like Rosalind. “You are Justin’s father, so he will definitely listen to you! Rose has waited for him for so many years. How can he just back out of the marriage so easily?” Gregory usually doted on his beloved wife, but at this moment, he felt annoyed by her. His tone became a little colder as he said, “Is this the first day you know Justin? He’s stubborn and never goes back on his word. He is never impulsive and always thinks through the consequences before acting on
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 206-Gregory said, “Back then, Justin didn’t even inform me about the divorce. Now that he wants to cancel his wedding with Rosalind, he won’t even care about my opinion.” “How is that the same?!” Shannon’s voice was shrill and not as gentle as usual. “Justin doesn’t love Bella Thompson at all. He and Rose are childhood sweethearts. They have deep feelings for each other!” “Right. I really don’t understand why your niece is still not satisfied when they have such deep feelings for each other. Why can’t she just be content and wait for Justin to marry her? Instead, she insists on finding trouble with Ms. Thompson. What your niece did tonight by tattling in front of Wyatt before understanding the situation is what’s embarrassing to the Salvador family! There is absolutely no way I will help her in this matter. I won’t intervene in her marriage with Justin anymore.” Gregory thought of his father mocking him and felt stuffy in his chest. He glared at Rosalind and added, “If I had known that you’d cause so much trouble, I would’ve advised Justin not to divorce Bella! You’re not only inferior to us in status, but you also keep causing trouble for the family. There is too big of a gap between you and Justin, so there is no point in forcing a marriage.” Seeing that Gregory had given up on Rosalind, Shannon slumped her shoulders, feeling as if her plans to get rich were collapsing.
“Aunt Shannon, what should we do now?” Rosalind’s eyes were swollen from crying. She was twitching and could barely breathe.
“Hahaha! You deserve this!” Bethany no longer looked “unwell”. She clapped her hands and gloated. “Why did you use me as a scapegoat and plot against me? How could a two-faced selfish bitch like you marry my second brother? You’d better get out of my house!” “I… How did I use you and plot against you?” Rosalind was wiping her tears while quibbling. “It was such a big party, and I couldn’t manage on my own, so I asked you to cooperate with me. That way, we will be able to hit the target accurately. Besides, I didn’t ask you to drug Mr. Hoffman. You were the one who spiked his drink on your own initiative, complicating things!” “How dare you blame me?! You damn bitch! Why didn’t I see your true colors sooner? I’m going to beat you up!” Bethany was not a scheming person like Rosalind. She would always choose violence whenever possible. She rushed up to Rosalind with scarlet eyes and grabbed her diamond hairpin, which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then she yanked it out, pulling a lock of hair with it. Rosalind screamed in pain.
Bethany and Rosalind fought like cats in front of Shannon.
“That’s enough! Stop fighting!” Shannon roared angrily. Rosalind and Bethany were panting heavily, still pulling at each other’s hair with bloodshot eyes.
“I’m going to count to three, and you two better let go of each other! One! Two! Three!” As soon as Shannon said this, the two unruly women let go of each other.
“Bethany, go back to your room first. I have something to say to your cousin.” Shannon raised her eyebrows coldly.
“Mom! Rosalind plotted against me! If she hadn’t instigated me tonight, I wouldn’t have embarrassed myself! Mom!” Bethany refused to leave. Her hair was as messy as a chicken coop.
“Don’t you think that you should bear some responsibility for this? I’ve told you more than once that you can’t be rash with Mr. Hoffman! But you’re so impatient that you want to bed him at your grandfather’s birthday party! How can you be so frivolous?! I’ve taught you better and given you an elite education! You will only make Mr. Hoffman look down on you even more! Why don’t you go back to your room and reflect on this?!” Bethany had always been afraid of her mother, so she glared at Rosalind fiercely and turned to leave.
Rosalind clutched her wrinkled skirt and stood frozen on the spot. She felt a chill in her heart.
Right, a true highborn woman would not resort to such despicable means, but what could Rosalind do?
Shannon would help Bethany get whatever she wanted, but Rosalind had to rely on herself. Shannon was just using her as a pawn to spy on Justin.
“Aunt Shannon, what happened tonight…” Slap-!
Shannon’s eyes widened with anger as she raised her perfectly manicured hand to slap Rosalind in the face.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 207-Rosalind was completely stunned by Shannon’s slap.
“I’ve told you more than once to not involve Bethany in whatever you have planned. Don’t blame me for choosing my daughter over you!” “Aunt Shannon, I’m sorry. I was confused for a moment… I will never do this again!” Rosalind’s eyes were filled with hatred, but she still begged Shannon for mercy.
Shannon looked at Rosalind’s ingratiating attitude with disdain.
If it were not for the fact that Rosalind was the only niece she could use, Shannon would not have supported such a rebellious and sinister woman as Rosalind to be her stepdaughter-in-law.
It took years for Shannon to train Rosalind, so she did not want to waste this pawn until the last moment.
What happened tonight made Shannon feel sick, but she would endure it for the bigger picture.
“Now, Anna is Wyat Thompson’s daughter. Wyatt is known for being overprotective over his children, so don’t you even think about touching her. Your top priority should be winning back Justin’s heart and marrying him as scheduled.” The corners of Shannon’s lips were pursed tightly. She looked scary with her blood-red lips.
“But Justin wants to break up with me! Just as Uncle Greg said, no one could change Justin’s mind.” Rosalind burst into tears again when she realized that her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was at risk of collapsing..
“I don’t think it’s that serious yet.
})
Shannon’s eyes were fierce. She suddenly pressed on Rosalind’s shoulder. “Rose, don’t contact Justin for the time being, and don’t leave the house or see anyone. You need to make everyone think that you’re devastated by the breakup.” “Is that possible?” Rosalind was doubtful.
“You won’t be able to trap a wolf if you can’t sacrifice a piece of meat. Rose, you will have to suffer a little from now on. But you must listen to me. You need to make Justin remember how good you were to him in the past by invoking his deepest memories. That’s the only way you can win back his heart!” That night, Justin sat in the study, smoking one cigarette after another. The smoke filled the room. His eyes were cold and gloomy, and his face was solemn.
When he thought of how Bella had reminded him to show up at City Hall at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, he could not fall asleep.
Bella visited Asher in the hospital and went back to her villa in Savrow because she had to go to City Hall to finalize the divorce tomorrow morning. Thus, she coaxed and persuaded Wyatt to go back to Hatchbay.
After removing her makeup, taking a shower, and finishing her nightly skincare routine, Bella made herself a bowl of spicy instant ramen and slurped it down. Then she put on a silk eye mask and slept until dawn.
Due to the drama at Nigel’s birthday party yesterday, Bella did not get a good night’s sleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already 8:00 a.m., and she did not even get to kayak.
“OMG! Steve, why didn’t you wake me up earlier?! My alarm clock didn’t work!” Bella walked downstairs while putting on the tassel earrings. Her dark eyebrows furrowed as she complained.
Steven hurried over in an apron and saw Bella in barely any makeup, but she was still as pretty as ever. Her eyes were sparkling, and her lips were pinkish. She was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off of her.
He was surprised that he never got tired of seeing her like this every day.
“I saw that you were too tired last night, so I didn’t want to wake you. I wanted you to sleep a little longer.” “How could you?! Today is my big day! I’m finally getting a divorce!” Bella looked at Steven angrily. “I’ve always been very punctual. Besides, if I turn up late on a day like this, that vain bastard will think that I’m reluctant to leave him! Hmph!” “I’m glad that this day has finally come.” Steven sighed sincerely.
“Me too! Didn’t you notice? I even wore a red skirt to look more festive!” Bella spun around gracefully.
Steven was originally worried that Bella would feel depressed today, but it seemed like he was overthinking it.
“Ms. Bella, have something to eat before you leave.” “It’s too late. Just pack it up for me. I’ll eat it in the car!” Steven wanted Bella to feel more comfortable, so he drove the Rolls-Royce instead of the Bugatti today.
Bella sat in the back seat and ate a sandwich. Her fingers clicked on the laptop from time to time as she handled official business.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 208-“What about Salvador Corporation?” Bella pursed her lips coldly.
“As far as I know, they’re also facing the same problems.” “That’s good. That means we’re not lagging behind, and we’re still on the same starting line as them.” She would not let anyone steal this project from her.
At the entrance of City Hall, many young couples were waiting in line to get in. They were either hugging each other or taking selfies to commemorate their happy moment. The air was filled with joy and love. Even the clouds seemed to take on a heart shape.
At this time, the emerald-green Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of City Hall, attracting the envious eyes of all the young couples.
Bella was sitting in the back seat. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already 9:00 a.m.
“Hah! Justin didn’t come early.” Steven sneered. “I guess a president like him wants to be fashionable late.” “Forget it. Just let him be.” Bella looked out through the privacy curtain at the smiling faces and sparkling eyes and said quietly, ” Anyway, I have already waited for him for so long. This is the last time I will be waiting for him.” Three years ago, when Bella and Justin went to get their marriage license, she waited alone at the entrance of City Hall. She was starving because she had been waiting for him for a whole day.
Just as City Hall was about to close, Justin arrived fashionably late. He did not even apologize. Then he rushed them to get their marriage license.
Even so, Bella was so happy that she could not sleep a wink that night.
Looking back at her experience, Bella felt that she was hopelessly humble. Only now did she realize that she must love herself before loving someone else.
After waiting for another half an hour, a taxi stopped at the entrance of City Hall just as Bella’s patience was gradually running out.
Bella could hardly believe her eyes when she saw Justin getting out of the taxi.
“Um… Was I mistaken? Did Mr. Salvador take a taxi here? Why? Have gas prices increased so much that he couldn’t afford to keep the Maybach?” Steven’s eyes widened.
“Maybe he wants to keep a low profile. After all, this divorce isn’t a glorious thing for him.” Bella yawned and got out of the car with Steven.
Justin was wearing his favorite black-gray pinstriped suit with a wide collar and a matte blue shirt, paired with a dark-colored tie. He looked cold, reserved, and unapproachable, as usual.
The appearance of this extremely handsome man caused a small stir at the entrance scene. The girls were so excited that they would have screamed if their boyfriends were not around.
When Bella walked toward Justin with confident and elegant steps, all the men in the room could not hide their excitement.
“Wow… Look at her face! Her skin is so supple!” “She seems like she’s not wearing any makeup… Her dress is so beautiful, but the price scares me off!” “Tsk! That’s the no-makeup makeup look. She definitely is skilled in applying makeup, so she looks like she’s not wearing anything!” “That means she has good skin! No one can achieve this look with makeup!” These young people, who were only interested in watching dramas and reality TV, did not recognize this handsome man to be Justin Salvador, the president of Salvador Corporation.
The taxi also concealed his identity.
Bella stood in front of Justin with a cold look on her face. “Mr. Salvador, you…” “I got delayed on the way here.” Justin interrupted her. His thin lips twitched before he said in a deep voice, “I’m sorry.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 209-“It’s okay, as long as you arrive before 5:00 p.m. so we can still finalize the divorce today.” Bella spoke coolly and walked toward the door.
Justin was left on the spot. He felt a lump in his throat.
He remembered that day three years ago when they decided to get their marriage license. However, he had an emergency meeting with a project manager from Inalia, so he had no choice but to stay back in the office.
After the meeting finished, some important guests visited the office, so Justin had to entertain them.
Finally, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to inform Bella to postpone their appointment.
This memory was vivid and a cruel reminder of his attitude.
When he rushed to City Hall as quickly as possible, the entrance was deserted. Bella stood there alone with her head drooped. She looked so lonely and pitiful.
Justin did not expect her to wait all day.
He also did not expect a girl to be so stubborn.
At that time, Justin wanted to apologize, but he hated his grandfather for forcing this marriage on him, so he did not say it. At the time, Rosalind had just left him as well, so he was emotionally messed –“Justin, you’re finally here!” Until now, Justin could still see Bella’s bright and warm smile when he closed his eyes.
At that time, he did not know what could make this woman give up on him.
Now he finally found out that his ruthless abandonment would make her feel so disheartened that she would no longer love him.
Justin felt ashamed. His expression was stiff as he followed Bella into the building.
“Are they here to get a marriage license? Wow, they are a perfect match!” “But neither of them looks happy…” “I think the girl is just angry because the boy is late. I think she’s right to be mad at him for being late on such an important occasion!” “It’s clear that this man is not as rich as this beautiful woman. He doesn’t even have a car. So many men these days have become gold diggers.” ‘Gold digger?!’ Justin felt the anger surging in his chest. He gritted his teeth and glanced at the young man who was gossiping about him.
Justin exuded a strong chill, and the young man instantly shut up.
At the divorce application counter, Bella and Justin sat side by side in front of the staff. They handed over their marriage license and identification.
The staff looked left and right and coughed slightly. “Are you two sure? It’s not easy to split after three years of marriage.” “I’m not short of money, and neither is he. He has a nanny at home to prepare meals for him and keep the house clean, and a secretary to take care of his needs. There’s nothing difficult about our split.” Bella spoke coldly.
Justin and the officer were speechless.
Bella raised her wrist and glanced at her watch. “Please hurry up. I’m quite busy.” “I see that you two have no children. Do you need to divide any property?” The staff member asked.
Bella replied, “No.” Justin was silent. He wanted to give her something, but she did not want it.
Now that he found out that she was Wyatt Thompson’s daughter, his menial compensation looked like an insult.
“Please sign here then.” The staff handed over two forms. Bella signed her name neatly and glanced at the man beside her.
However, she discovered that Justin did not sign the papers.
Not only that, his fingertips were trembling uncontrollably.
Bella frowned.
‘Why the hell are his fingers trembling? Is he trying to act like he’s in love with me and reluctant to leave me?’ “Mr. Salvador, please sign it quickly. Did you forget how to spell your name?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 210-Justin felt a thin layer of sweat break out on his forehead. He held his right forearm firmly with his left hand, but he still could not control his trembling hand.
The ballpoint pen fell to the floor.
Bella found it strange, so she observed him carefully.
Justin looked slightly haggard. His black hair was a bit tousled, and there was some dust on his black suit. His collar and placket seemed dirty too.
What did he do? Why did he look so unkempt?
Bella was full of doubts. She bent over to pick up the pen and pushed it in front of him.
Finally, both forms were signed. The staff completed the formalities and stamped the certificates.
Their divorce was finalized at last.
“I wish you both a happy, independent life after separation.” After coming out of City Hall, Bella looked at the divorce certificate in her hand and had mixed feelings.
This was dragged out for so long that she no longer felt the heartbreaking pain when Justin had forced her to sign the divorce agreement before. She only felt relieved and relaxed now.
Bella used to limit herself because of love. Now that she has returned to her previous life, she just wants to focus on her career and make a lot of money.
She did not want to get involved with men anymore.
“Mr. Salvador, I still have something to do here, so let’s part ways here. Goodbye.” Bella put the divorce certificate away, turned around, and walked down the stairs gracefully.
“Bella, wait…” Before he finished speaking, Bella heard a muffled sound from behind her.
She looked back and gasped in fright.
Justin fell heavily down the steps and looked like he was in pain.
Although it was only five steps, it would be quite painful to fall like that.
“Justin!” Bella rushed over to help him up and found that his arms were shaking even more than before.
“You haven’t been feeling well since just now. What happened?” “It’s okay…” Justin was sweating profusely. He refused to tell her what happened.
“Tell me now!” Bella was a little anxious and demanded an answer.
Justin felt that his whole body was aching, and his head was dizzy. Seeing that she was worried about him, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
“Do you care what happens to me?” Bella’s lips twitched, and she scoffed. “Even if it’s a dog lying on the roadside, I won’t pretend not to see it. I have no reason to ignore a living being.” Justin’s pale face suddenly turned darker. He slowly pushed her away. “I don’t need your sympathy or worry.” “Justin, you’d better go to the hospital for a checkup. If you can’t even walk properly and fall for no reason, it means that something is wrong with your cerebellum.” Bella put on her doctor’s hat and spoke in a solemn tone.
“Bella, do you hate me for forcing this divorce on you? Is that why you’re cursing me every chance you get?” Justin looked at her coldly. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
“Hah! You’re overthinking it. I’m not that petty or free to think about you.” Bella’s smile did not reach her eyes. She just felt that this jerk was being unreasonable. “Also, you got it wrong. I’m happy with this divorce. Didn’t that officer wish us a happy and independent life after separation? I’m already ecstatic about it. Since you can take care of yourself, I won’t worry about you anymore. I hope you can keep your balance. Bye.” Justin’s heart was filled with anger, and his eyes were burning red.
As soon as Bella let go of him, he was unsteady on his feet and fell on her again.
In an instant, they were tightly pressed against each other.
Bella’s full breasts were pressed against his hard chest. His breathing became heavier, and his slightly trembling hands climbed up her slender waist, which was tightly wrapped in the red dress.
Justin lost control of his brain and body.
“Get your filthy hands off me!” Bella’s beautiful eyes were sharp. She gritted her teeth and threatened him. “Otherwise, I will chop them up and feed them to my crocodile as a teething stick!”
