Ch. 31..40
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 31-“When Ms. Gold went into your room today, I specifically told her that she shouldn’t touch the box on the bedside because you treasured it.” As she said that, Wilma glanced at Rosalind, who looked frustrated.
Wilma addressed Anna as “Young Madam” in front of Rosalind to provoke her so that she would blurt out the truth.
“I threw that box away.” Rosalind could not suppress her anger and admitted it.
“Where did you throw it?” Justin’s face was dark.
“Justin, why do you care so much about what Anna gave you? You’re already divorced, and I’m your new fiancée! Why do you still treasure the things she gave you? Have you ever thought about my feelings?” Tears welled up in Rosalind’s eyes. She was proficient in crying on demand as per her aunt’s training.
“Where did you throw it?” Justin ignored Rosalind’s cries and questioned her with a cold tone. Rosalind was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
“In the backyard’s trash can.” Justin ran to the backyard in the rain. He rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and rummaged through the trash can for the discarded box.
“Justin! Stop looking for it! It’s filthy!” Rosalind called out to him from the corridor.
Filthy?
No one in the Salvador family knew what Justin had been through when he was five years old. As an illegitimate child, he wandered the streets with his mother and dug through countless trash cans in order to survive. It was all just to collect some scrap cardboard and aluminum cans that could be exchanged for money.
He had grown up in a garbage dump, so he was all too familiar with this kind of filth. There was no need to avoid it.
Finally, Justin found the dirty box and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wilma ran over with an umbrella. Justin could not wait to open the box.
The next second, his eyes turned red, and his expression turned grim.
That was because the originally well-ironed and impeccable suit was cut to pieces. It was wrecked beyond recognition.
Justin slowly turned back to Rosalind.
Rosalind took a step back. She was so frightened by his cold and estranged gaze that she could barely breathe.
In the end, Justin just held the box and walked past Rosalind in silence.
“Justin! Do you like Anna? Are you regretting the divorce?!” Rosalind mustered hugged him tightly.
up the courage and “No.” Justin felt the emotions surging in his chest.
He was frustrated.
“But you’re clearly angry with me. Are you mad at me just because I threw away what Anna gave you? Have you ever thought about my feelings? When I see the things she gave you, I think of the three years you were married. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get upset?” Rosalind asked aggressively.
“What do I need to do for you to be satisfied?” Justin pushed her away and took a deep breath. “I have already divorced her and decided to marry you, even against my grandfather’s wishes. But you threw away her things, ripped her handmade clothes, and used the media to expose her, saying that she was a third party in our relationship. She was humiliated on the internet. She has disappeared from my life, but you still won’t let her go. Enough is enough!” Rosalind was ashamed. She felt like Justin had poured ice water all over her head.
It turned out that Justin already knew what happened.
“Justin… Do you think I want to do that? I do all that because I love you!” Justin relaxed his frown, but his expression became cold.
“Next time, tell me if you encounter any difficulties. I can help you as long as it doesn’t harm anyone. But I don’t like it when you have other agendas in the name of love. I also don’t like people who scheme against me. You announced your marriage because you wanted to save your family business. This time, I won’t blame you, but I don’t want to see it happen again.” Justin left.
Rosalind folded her arms in a rage. She wanted to strangle Anna to death.
On the other side, Bella and Steven were drinking red wine while sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the rain.
She was playing her favorite opera on the vinyl record player.
“Ms. Bella, that waitress contacted me and said that Justin caught her taking a taxi by the roadside after work tonight. I guess he already knows that she’s just a substitute.” Steven put down his wine glass. He knew that Bella’s feet must be tired after wearing high heels all day, so he got down on one knee, lifted her feet, and started giving her a foot rub.
“I knew he would find out sooner or later, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.” Bella enjoyed Steven’s foot rub. She curled her toes and narrowed her eyes. “After dealing with the Gold family, it will be the Salvadors’ turn. After all, Mr. Salvador was so direct today. How could I turn a blind eye to his challenge?” Claim Bonus For Free Every Day>>
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 32-Rosalind left crying.
The maids did not like Rosalind because Rosalind would put on an act every time she came over. She would then leave in tears.
Justin sat stiffly on the sofa, staring at the tattered suit in a daze.
“Young Master Justin, it’s late. Have some warm milk before bed.” Wilma came in to bring him a glass of warm milk. When she saw the wrecked suit, she could not help but sigh. “What a pity.” There was another meaning in her words.
“The next time Rose comes here, keep an eye on her and don’t let her enter my room or study. Anna’s room too,” Justin said in a low voice.
“Don’t worry, Young Master. I will definitely watch her!” Wilma said, “Luckily, I had locked the young madam’s door today. Otherwise, Ms. Gold might sneak in and trash it too.” “Wilma, don’t say that. Rose doesn’t have bad intentions. After all, I owe her for the past three years.” “What about the young madam? What did the young madam do wrong? You divorced the young madam. Don’t you feel sorry for her?” Wilma felt that it was unfair for Anna and raised her voice.
“Grandpa-forced me back then. She didn’t have to marry me if she didn’t want to.” “Are you saying that the young madam brought it upon herself?” Justin pursed his pale lips.
“You should go to bed early. I won’t disturb you.” Wilma left the room with a sullen face and even took the glass of milk with her.
Justin’s eyes widened slightly as he hissed.
He thought, ‘Is she upset with me? I wanted to drink that milk. When did Anna bribe Wilma? What a scheming woman!’ Rosalind returned home in embarrassment, bringing the bad news with her.
Without the support of the Salvador family, the Gold family would be a complete mess. It would be difficult for the Gold family to make a comeback.
“What does Justin mean by that? He keeps saying that he loves you, but he doesn’t do anything to prove it! Does he think that we’re pushovers ?!” Zeke smashed the ashtray. His eyes turned red with anger.
“Justin loves me. He divorced Anna for me…” Rosalind sobbed and defended herself.
“I think he’s just weighing the pros and cons! After all, you’re from a rich family. Who the hell is Anna? How can a country bumpkin like her compare to you? Anyone with a brain would choose you!” Rosalind knew that her brother was siding with her, but somehow, it sounded like an insult.
“Rose, why did Mr. Salvador suddenly change his mind? What happened?!” Rosalind’s father asked anxiously.
“I don’t know either. He went to see Ms. Thompson today. When he came back, he changed his attitude and no longer wanted to get involved with our family business… Dad, Zeke, did you do something secretly that Justin discovered? He seems to hate our family…” “Damn it! Could it be because of his ex-wife, Anna?” Zeke suddenly realized what was happening.
“What do you mean by that?” Rosalind became nervous when she heard Anna’s name.
“A few days ago, I was hanging out at the Hoffmans’ newly opened bar and met that crazy woman who was looking for trouble. Justin suddenly showed up to rescue his ex-wife and even asked me to apologize to her! What the hell, right?! Zeke was still brooding over the humiliating scene.
After hearing this, Rosalind was fuming. She was jealous.
She thought, ‘I knew it! Justin developed feelings for that bitch. That’s what I feared the most. I won’t let Anna get back with Justin.’ “Alright. As long as Rose marries Mr. Salvador and becomes the lady boss of Salvador Corporation, we won’t have to worry about anything else.” Rosalind’s mother comforted her. Her gaze was cold as she said, “Anna is an unwanted woman. How much trouble can that bitch cause anyway? Our top priority is to change the outside world’s impression of our company and find a scapegoat for this matter.” “Scapegoat?” Zeke thought about it with a sinister smile and said, “He’s the most suitable candidate!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 33-The Gold family was in turmoil. Their reputation plummeted. The dozens of Alia Furniture stores in Savrow were empty.
To make things worse, Justin stopped helping them. If they could not come up with a solution, they would be bankrupt when they used up the capital from Salvador Corporation.
The Thompson family won over the public by exposing Alia Furniture for selling poor-quality products. After a long period of silence, KS World gained attention again.
“As per your instructions, I had someone secretly follow Michael Gordon around after he resigned. He had met up with Zeke more than once.” Steven held Bella’s slender hand and patiently applied cuticle oil to her newly done burgundy-colored manicure. “You’re really clever to see through that guy’s thoughts.” “He received bribes and cooperated with Zeke to go against our hotel’s interests. This shows that they’re colluding with each other.” Bella smiled sweetly as she enjoyed Steven’s attentiveness.
“The Gold family will hold a public press conference this weekend. I’ll be sure to give everyone something to see then.” Bella was so excited to receive the new mattresses that she went to the back door of the hotel to inspect the goods in person with Steven.
“Ms. Bella, you don’t have to do this kind of hard work. I’ll handle it with the housekeeping manager.” Steven persuaded Bella softly.
“I’m not a weak young lady. I fired a gun and carried more than a dozen wounded people through the battlefield. I have also rescued hundreds of people before. I can handle inspecting a few mattresses.” When she said that, Bella’s clear eyes flickered with sadness and loneliness.
Justin was one of the wounded people she rescued on the Kridor battlefield.
At that time, bullets were raining down on them. Justin was shot in the leg and shoulder. He lay in a pool of blood as he yelled at Bella to leave, but she refused to give up.
— — -“Leave me alone and go!” –“Get out of here! Get lost!” -“No! I will never abandon you, even if it means I have to die here with you. We’ll leave together!” At that time, Bella was ready to die with Justin. That was because it felt impossible to carry Justin, who was 1.9 meters tall, all the way across the battlefield to a safe area.
Bella even wondered at that time whether dying with him counted as being together.
They shared hardships when they were alive and would lie together in death.
She had no regrets!
Bella smiled wryly. Her heart clenched, bringing on a sharp pain.
She thought, ‘Justin, I can’t believe that my broken heart will still throb for you now.’ Bella regretted having met Justin when she was so young.
Bella and Steven went to the back door and happened to see the workers unloading the mattresses.
When the housekeeping manager saw that Bella came to inspect the mattresses in person, he admired. her work ethic.
Bella jumped into the truck with Steven’s support, randomly took apart the packaging on a mattress, touched it, and sat on it. She was finally satisfied.
“Very well. Unload these mattresses.’ })
At this time, an electric blue Lamborghini drove toward the hotel with a loud engine roar.
The back door was close to the underground parking lot, so it was not surprising for luxury cars to pass by.
However, this time was different.
That was because the person sitting inside was Ryan Hoffman, who was dubbed “the Prince of Savrow”.
At this moment, Ryan held the steering wheel with his left hand while hugging a sexy and coquettish woman with his other arm.
Ryan wore sunglasses and inadvertently glanced to the side.
He happened to see Bella, who looked so gorgeous even when helping the workers lift a mattress.
like an Ryan was deeply impressed by Bella when he met her in the bar because she was bold and sexy, exquisite rose in the night. At this moment, Bella was in professional attire, but she still looked as dazzling as ever. On the contrary, she looked smart, elegant, and sassy.
Moreover, she gave her all when she was working and did not mind getting her hands dirty. She was different from those pampered young ladies around Ryan who had never lifted a finger.
Ryan was interested in Bella and smiled playfully.
“Country girls are really strong!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 34-Ryan brought a date to the hotel’s restaurant.
As soon as the food was served, his date took photos of the exquisite dishes.
Ryan was irritated when he saw his date taking pictures of the food and said, “Why are you taking photos? Haven’t you seen food before?” His date put away her phone angrily and stopped eating.
When they were almost done eating, the restaurant manager came over and asked with a polite smile, “Mr. Hoffman, are you satisfied with your meal?” “It’s decent. The steak is perfectly cooked. I’m quite satisfied.” Ryan had a messy private life, but he was well-groomed.
“What? I think it’s tough. It doesn’t taste good at all.” Ryan’s date dropped her fork rudely, which clanged on the plate.
Ryan’s face suddenly darkened. His eyes were filled with anger.
“Thanks for your feedback. We’ll make some improvements based on your comments. I’m really sorry that you didn’t enjoy the meal.” The restaurant manager was humble and bowed in apology.
“Don’t listen to her. She probably forgot to wear her dentures today and can’t even chew through a piece of tofu.” Ryan’s date was embarrassed to be teased like that, but she dared not retort.
Ryan took out his bulging wallet from his pocket, pulled out a wad of cash, and placed it in front of the manager.
Digital payments were popular in Savrow. Ryan was the only one who still carried cash with him.
“Here’s your tip. I’d like to ask you about someone.” Ryan held his chiseled jaw in thought. His eyes had a longing desire as he asked, “Is there an employee named Anna Brown in your hotel?” “Mr. Hoffman, KS World employees won’t accept tips from guests, so please take this back. In addition, there is no employee by the name of Anna Brown in our hotel.” “Really? How is that possible?” Ryan became a little anxious when he heard this. “When I arrived at the hotel, I saw her unloading goods at the back door. How could you lie to me? You should check it out before you answer me.” “Sorry, Mr. Hoffman. There is really no need to check it out because I have been working here for the past 15 years. I know all the employees in the hotel, and none of them goes by that name.” The restaurant manager left after saying that.
Ryan was still hung up on this when a beautiful figure entered his field of vision.
Bella walked gracefully into the restaurant by herself.
She was surprised to see Ryan, but her expression remained calm.
Bella and Justin had been married for three years, but Justin had never treated her as his wife. He never took her out or introduced her to his circle of friends.
However, Bella was aware that Ryan was Justin’s best friend. Although she did not understand how two people with completely different personalities could be friends, she knew that they were very close.
Fortunately, there were no other employees in the restaurant at the moment. Her identity would be exposed if someone came up and called her “Ms. Thompson”.
Ryan stared at “Anna” with an intense gaze.
His date saw that he had found a new target and gritted her teeth in anger.
She was jealous when she noticed the difference in Ryan’s gaze. It was as if he had fallen in love at first sight.
Bella asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, then she sat there and checked her phone.
“Anna, what a coincidence! Are you here for lunch?” Bella raised her eyes calmly and watched as Ryan approached.
“I’m just taking a break. I work here.” Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly. Of course, he knew that she was working here. He just needed an excuse to talk to her.
He did not expect “Anna” to be so honest and humble, which made him like her even more.
“Tsk, tsk… Asher really doesn’t know how to cherish women. He should just keep a beauty like you at home and give you whatever you want. How can he let you suffer like this? He’s so harsh on you. Ryan held his chin and tapped his cheek.
“Keep me at home?” Bella sneered. “Justin hid me in a house for three years. I’ve had enough of that isolation from the world. Mr. Hoffman, do you actually want me to repeat the same mistake?” Ryan was startled. Her smile was so sharp that he flinched a little.
“After I left Justin, I swore to myself that I would be an independent woman. I would never want to be a housewife who stayed at home all day. I won’t mind suffering either. Mr. Thompson is willing to give me the opportunity to gain work experience, so I’m very grateful to him. He always respects my choice, so please don’t say that about him.” Ryan was rendered speechless. He smiled awkwardly.
“Mr. Hoffman, your girlfriend is still there waiting for you. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to strike up a conversation with another woman in front of her?” Bella lowered her eyes and began to chase him away.
“How is she my girlfriend? We’re only having a meal together. Does it mean that if I kiss someone, have to marry her?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 35-Ryan’s charming eyes narrowed as he raised his eyebrows. “Let’s have dinner together. I’ll pick you up from work tonight. I’ll make a reservation for wherever you want to eat.” Bella frowned and said impatiently, “I have a boyfriend, Mr. Hoffman.” “I don’t even care that you had an ex-husband, let alone a boyfriend.” Ryan had always been open about relationships. He only considered his feelings for the woman and did not care about any societal expectations.
“If you’re afraid we’ll be seen, we can go to my private villa. My chef is as good as Michelin-starred chefs. I’ll get them to prepare dinner.” Bella raised her eyebrows and thought, ‘Why isn’t my coffee ready yet?’ If she had her coffee, she would splash it on Ryan’s face to wake him up from his daydream!
At this time, Ryan’s phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Justin.
“Excuse me, I’m going to take a call.” Bella thought, ‘Leave, for all I care!’ When Ryan left, Bella’s coffee was served.
Before Bella could take a sip, Ryan’s date walked up to her arrogantly.
Ryan’s date did not hear the conversation between Ryan and Bella earlier. She only knew that Bella was the employee that Ryan asked the restaurant manager about.
She thought, ‘How dare a working-class bitch seduce the most eligible bachelor in Savrow? I must teach her a lesson!’ “Hey, I’m warning you. Don’t even think about dating Mr. Hoffman if you still want to work here.” Ryan’s date stared at Bella with animosity.
Bella frowned and fanned her nose with her hands. She had a headache from smelling such strong perfume.
Bella wondered if Ryan even had a sense of smell.
“If I don’t do as you say, what can you do to me?” Bella spoke without looking at her.
“I will file a complaint against you and get you fired!” “Oh? The reason being that you’re upset Ryan talked to me?” “You!” The woman was so angry that her face and neck turned red.
“Go ahead and file that complaint. I’m sure if you submit it to our general manager, the only feedback you will get is that you should get your head examined.” “Bitch!” Ryan’s date was furious and jealous of Bella’s beauty. She reached out to grab the coffee on the table, wanting to teach Bella a lesson.
However, in the next second– “Ah!” With lightning speed, Bella picked up the coffee cup before her and splashed the whole cup of coffee on that woman’s face.
The woman’s makeup was ruined, and her newly bought branded dress was soiled. Her lips kept trembling, and she wanted to cry.
Bella picked up the napkin and slowly wiped away the drop of coffee that splashed on the back of her hand. Her red lips stretched into a bright smile.
“I knew that either one of us would get hurt, so in this case, I’d rather it be you.” Ryan answered the phone in the corridor.
“Hey Justin, what’s up?” “It’s your mother’s birthday the day after tomorrow. Come shop for a gift with me. I don’t know what I should get her.” Justin went straight to the point.
“Oh. My mother treats you like her godson. If you give her a weed from the roadside, she’ll put it in an antique vase. Just buy her anything,” Ryan said nonchalantly.
“No, come with me to pick out a gift tonight.” “Maybe tomorrow. I have a date tonight.” “Postpone it.
})
“I already told her that I wanted to have dinner with her. How could I stand her up? It’s so ungentlemanly.” Ryan poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue. After some thought, he felt that he should come clean with Justin because he did not want to date Justin’s ex-wife behind his back.
He wanted to date “Anna” openly. He cleared his throat and said seriously, “I won’t hide it from you.
I want to date your ex-wife.” Suddenly, there was an overwhelming silence on the phone.
“Hello?” Ryan glanced at the screen to make sure that the call was still connected.
After a while, Justin’s cold and deep voice came from the other end of the call. “Are you with Anna now?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 36-As soon as Justin finished speaking, a scream came from the restaurant.
Ryan suddenly remembered that he had left his date alone with Anna. That was trouble waiting to happen.
“Bro, I can’t talk now. Anyway, I can’t make it today. I’ll see you tomorrow!” Ryan was about to hang up when Justin’s sharp voice stopped him., “Ryan Hoffman, where are you?” At this time, Ryan heard another scream that was more piercing than before.
“KS World Hotel’s restaurant!” Ryan returned to the restaurant in a hurry.
When he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene inside.
Justin’s frail ex-wife grabbed his date’s hair and pressed her head on the table with her arm twisted to the back. His date was unable to move.
Ryan thought, ‘Wow! This looks like a scene where the cool female detective arrests the criminal!’ He was initially worried that Bella would be bullied, but now it seemed like his worries were unnecessary.
Thus, he simply crossed his arms and watched the show with a smile on his face.
“I’m going to sue you! I’ll make it so that you won’t be able to survive in Savrow!” Ryan’s date yelled and bared her teeth. Her face was deformed because it was pressed to the table.
“Then you should hurry to the hospital. Otherwise, the slap mark on your face will hardly be visible. You won’t even be able to sue me for Level 2 assault.” Bella had no expression on her face the whole time. If this woman had not tried to attack her, Bella would not have touched her.
When Ryan’s date saw that Ryan was back, she cried and shouted for help. “Mr. Hoffman… Mr. Hoffman, please help me!” “Alright, that should be enough to appease you…” Ryan came over and pulled Bella away. There was no hint of reproach in his tone. He sounded like he was coaxing Bella.
Ryan was not startled by this fight because he had witnessed a crazier fight over him between four women.
The main reason he stopped Bella was that she was Justin’s ex-wife. If word got out, Justin would be embarrassed.
“Mr. Hoffman! What do you mean it’s enough? This bitch hit me! She slapped me and pulled my hair. You have to seek justice for me!” Ryan’s date was infuriated as she held her messy hair.
Bella calmly sat down on the chair, crossed her long legs, and looked at the wretched woman as if she were a monkey.
Ryan admired Bella’s long legs and sized her up. In the end, his gaze landed on her fair and dainty feet in stilettos.
He thought, ‘She’s so beautiful! How can she be so gorgeous? I’m in love!’ “I’m sure you must have provoked Ms. Brown for her to hit you. Is that right?” Ryan looked directly at Bella and asked.
“Why should I apologize? Why?!” Ryan’s date was so furious that her face flushed red.
“You like me, but Ms. Brown doesn’t like me, so you must have picked on Ms. Brown,” Ryan said confidently.
Bella raised her eyebrows, thinking that Ryan was a logical person, unlike Justin.
“How could you do this to me, Mr. Hoffman? I’m your girlfriend!” Ryan’s date cried and ran over to hug Ryan. The man took a step back in disgust, and she almost fell.
“Girlfriend? When have I agreed to that?” Ryan’s eyes suddenly turned cold. His date was so frightened that she held back her sobs.
“After you apologize, get out of my face. Don’t let me see you again!” Everyone in Savrow knew what Ryan’s temper was like. He was willing to compromise when he was in a good mood, but if he was angry, he would burn the world down.
“I-I’m sorry!” Ryan’s date gritted her teeth and admitted her mistake. She quickly covered her face and ran away dejectedly.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Brown.” Ryan immediately changed his expression to an ingratiating smile.
“Mr. Hoffman, didn’t you also ask her to apologize to me? We’re even now.’ Bella looked at her watch and stood up. “I’m going back to work. Mr. Hoffman, please help yourself.” Ryan was a watch collector, so he immediately noticed the Richard Mille watch that Bella was wearing. It was a global limited edition!
He could see how much Asher doted on Bella. Even he might not be so generous.
More importantly, Anna even wore such an expensive watch to do menial work. She was indeed a country bumpkin who did not know the value of luxury goods.
“Ms. Brown, when do you get off work? I’ll pick you up in the evening.” Ryan chased after Bella.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 37-“Don’t wait for me.” Bella rejected Ryan with a perfunctory smile. “I won’t eat with you.” Ryan clicked his tongue and said, “Why are you so heartless? Can’t you just have a meal with me as a show of gratitude for helping you teach Zeke a lesson last time at ACE?” Bella laughed mockingly. “I remember that Justin was the one who came to my rescue. You’re not a good friend for stealing his credit behind his back.” “Ms. Brown, did I offend you? Why can’t you give me a chance?” Ryan looked at her with intense affection. “Just because you’re with Asher? Will Asher dare to openly say that you’re his girlfriend? I will!” “Mr. Hoffman, love isn’t first come, first served, but I have integrity and morals.” Ryan felt ashamed. His face turned pale in an instant.
“I know that I’m not from an affluent family, but I have principles. When Justin and I got married, he was the only one I loved. Now that Asher, the CEO of KS Group, is my boyfriend, I only have eyes for him. I like to make my own choices, so I can’t stand people forcing my hand. Mr. Hoffman, please show some respect and stop pestering me.’ Bella’s heart ached when she said these words.
Even Ryan could see that she was trying her best to suppress the resentment and hurt in her eyes darkened.
Bella took a deep breath, raised her chin slightly, regained her composure, and walked out.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
“Justin?!” Ryan’s eyes widened.
Justin arrived too soon. Did he take a rocket here?
eyes. His At this moment, Justin stood at the entrance of the restaurant, emanating a strong chill from his body.
The hotel, which was fully air-conditioned, turned into an ice cellar at this moment.
Bella met Justin’s intense gaze.
His eyes were beautiful. The ends of his eyes were slightly raised and red, and his irises were bright. Bella realized that she was still infatuated with his looks.
However, Justin had only been indifferent to her for the past three years. He had never smiled at her, let alone shown any affection.
Bella was just too stubborn, thinking that she could change him and gain his love one day if she put in more effort. In the end, she was the only one who had changed.
Justin approached her. His eyes narrowed slightly.
When Justin heard that Ryan was with “Anna”, he turned down his afternoon meeting without hesitation and drove over by himself.
He happened to hear what “Anna” said to Ryan. His heart felt as if it had been hollowed out, and his chest was indescribably empty.
Later, a hint of anger bubbled in his chest. He was not one to lose his temper randomly, but when facing “Anna”, his emotions were always difficult to control.
“Why are you here?” Justin stared at Bella’s face.
“I’m working.” Bella turned away and did not bother to speak to him more.
“Don’t you remember what I said? Before we finalize the divorce, we are still legally married, so you are still a member of the Salvador family. You know very well that the Salvador family and the Thompson family are sworn enemies, yet you still work in a hotel owned by them? What are you thinking? Do you want to piss me off, disgust me, or slap me in the face?” Justin took a deep breath as the veins on his forehead bulged.
Ryan panicked. Just as he was about to say something, Bella spoke.
“Oh, so that’s what you think.” Bella slowly lowered her indifferent gaze back to Justin’s handsome face. “In that case, let’s get our divorce certificate today. I don’t want you to keep haunting me like a resentful ghost and look at me so viciously whenever you see me.” “Anna Brown!” Justin suddenly frowned.
“Did you bring your documents? Ask Ian to deliver it to you. I carry it with me at all times, just in case I’ll get to use it.” Bella walked past Justin with a mocking smile. She did not miss him one bit.
Justin’s eyes turned red in an instant.
He suddenly grabbed her slender arm with a frightening force, as if he were afraid that she would run away from him and he would never be able to catch her again.
However, the next second, there was a loud pop.
Bella suddenly felt a sharp pain, and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Justin froze. His heart was pounding.
He actually dislocated Bella’s arm!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 40-Justin attended the country’s top military academy and joined the army for three years. Even though he retired from the army and became a businessman, he was still very fit.
Therefore, Axel’s punch only bruised the corners of Justin’s lips, but his body remained motionless.
“Fuck! My love rival!” Ryan secretly cursed but did not dare to say it openly.
That was because he remembered what Anna said to him earlier. He was the third party in their relationship, so he should not be too arrogant.
Axel was furious and punched Justin again, but Justin quickly dodged him.
“Justin Salvador! I told you to stay away from Anna! You shameless bastard!” Axel was panting, and his eyes were bloodshot. “If anything happens to Anna, I will skin you alive! I won’t let you and your company off the hook!” “Mr. Thompson, you’re overreacting. It’s just a dislocation…” Ryan was afraid that Justin and Asher” would get into a head-on fight and quickly came to break them up.
“Oh, just a dislocation?!” Axel’s mouth twitched, and his eyes were filled with anger. “You two treat women like toys! How can you possibly understand my feelings? Anna is my favorite woman, and I will protect her until the day I die. Stop thinking about her and stay away from her!” Axel meant what he said.
Bella was his priority. Even his wife would come second.
Justin’s eyelashes trembled. That confession was so direct and affectionate. Justin had never had the courage to express his love for a woman like this.
After leaving Justin, “Anna” became more eye-catching and brilliant. Asher and Ryan were both interested in her.
Justin could not describe his sour mood.
He felt like a fool who lost a treasure, which had become so sought after later. But he became reluctant to part with it.
“Justin, just you wait! I will sue you!” Axel pointed fiercely at Justin’s cold face and thought that he would get Drew to kill Justin later.
“Okay, but I’d like to correct you.
Justin met Axel’s sharp gaze with an expressionless face. “My divorce with Anna isn’t finalized yet, so she is still legally my wife and a member of the Salvador family.” Ryan was speechless and thought that this guy was really good at killing people.
Axel was so angry that he wanted to spit at Justin, but he was a sophisticated man.
“Mr. Thompson.” A soft yet prominent voice sounded. All three of them turned their heads in that direction.
Bella was standing there with her left arm in a cast. Her eyes were calm, and her pretty face was a little pale, like a fragile and lonely doll.
Justin narrowed his eyes. His throat felt dry.
The corridor was wide and empty.
Bella stood there alone. Her features were delicate, and her eyes shone brightly. They looked so clean and pure that the three men felt an urge to protect her.
Suddenly, a distant memory flashed in his mind.
Anna… Justin felt a stabbing pain in his head, but soon the pain and fragmented memory disappeared.
Axel hurriedly ran to his sister in distress. His eyes were red. “Does it hurt?” “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Let’s go home.” Bella smiled gently at her brother. Her smile was bright and affectionate.
Justin was irritated by this scene.
Axel put his arms around Bella’s slim waist and walked toward the other end of the corridor.
Bella did not even bother to look at her ex-husband.
Justin just felt indignant. He was about to step forward when Ryan grabbed his arm.
“Justin, that’s enough. Don’t chase after her. You were the one at fault when you injured her. Don’t you know who called Asher over? She just wants to see him, so don’t go over there and ask for trouble!” Seeing “Asher” supporting “Anna” and disappearing from the corridor, Justin clenched his fists and felt as if he had lost his breath.
Axel called Steven, who was still confused about the situation when he rushed over.
Steven asked, “Ms. Bella! What’s going on? Who hurt you?!” “That bastard Justin hurt me!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 38-“Fuck! Justin, are you crazy?!” Ryan was shocked.
Bella’s face turned pale. Her already thin arms hung limply by her sides, and her smooth forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Ryan was distressed to see Bella like this, while Justin was ruthless.
Justin clenched his fist and staggered back in shock, his mouth slightly parted.
“Ms. Brown, your arm is dislocated! I’ll take you to the hospital right away!” Ryan was anxious and wanted to come over to help Bella, but she coldly dodged him. “No need… I can handle it by myself.” “How are you going to deal with it? Your arm is dislocated!” “That’s none of your business!” Bella was furious. She glared at them with all her strength, not wanting them to touch her.
Ryan was stunned. He did not dare to act rashly.
Justin stared at his ex-wife, who was trembling with anger, and suddenly realized that he had never really known her.
Justin had only seen her smile and act gently in the past three years. She was always trying to please him. At that time, Justin was dissatisfied with the arranged marriage, so the more she smiled at him, the angrier he became. Later, he only felt repulsed by her.
Now that they were separated, that bright smile disappeared from his life and was replaced by such hostility. But why did he find her more interesting like this?
“Justin, stop being so conceited.” Bella took a deep breath. Her eyes were red. “I’m here to work, and I never thought about humiliating you or slapping you in the face. I just want to start my life anew after you abandoned me. You can end our three-year marriage without hesitation, so I don’t understand why you’re holding me back from starting a new life. Are you still hung up on me? I don’t think so… You just don’t want me to live a good life.” Justin’s pupils shrank, and he felt as if he had swallowed gravel. He was rendered speechless.
Bella’s heart sank as she smiled mockingly. “Do you want to see me depressed and heartbroken to leave you? I will never feel that way about you again, Justin. For the past three years, I have been depressed and heartbroken every day. I have suffered enough from being with you, so leaving you is a complete relief from my misery. Don’t come to me again before Grandpa’s birthday, I don’t ever want to see you.” Bella turned around. The pain in her heart had surpassed the pain in her arm, so much so that she felt numb.
Actually, this dislocation meant nothing to her. She could easily pop her arm back in place in front of them.
However, she wanted to feel the pain that Justin brought her.
Suddenly, Bella felt a warmth on her hips as she was being lifted from the ground.
Justin came from behind and picked her up, bridal style.
“Put me down!” Bella’s cheeks flushed as she struggled in Justin’s arms.
The more she struggled, the tighter Justin held her. Justin did not allow Bella, who was stuck against his broad chest, to resist.
Bella could feel his heart thumping as her soft body was pressed to his chest. She could also smell the subtle woody fragrance that she liked on his clothes.
Somehow, Bella felt like crying. For many nights, she sprayed his perfume on the bed and fell asleep, engulfed in his scent.
She used to be happy like that, but at this moment, she only felt aggrieved thinking about it.
“I’ll take you to the hospital. You shouldn’t delay treatment for the dislocation.” Justin’s face was expressionless, but his eyes were dark.
“Let me go! You didn’t even care about me when we were married. You have no right to touch me after our divorce!” Bella was filled with shame and anger. Her voice became hoarse. However, Justin ignored her. His chiseled jaw tightened as he walked forward.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 39-Ryan clicked his tongue and hurriedly chased after Bella. “Ms. Brown is right! It’s inappropriate for you to touch her since you’re divorced! Ms. Brown, let me carry you!” “Get lost!” Justin and Bella said it in unison. Justin’s eyes were red, while Bella blushed.
Ryan thought, ‘Oh? Now they look like a couple.’ At the hospital, Bella was sent to the emergency room, while Justin and Ryan waited in the corridor.
“Justin, you’re so cruel. How could you pull her thin arm with so much force? Did you want to dislocate it?” Ryan sighed and shook his head at Justin in disapproval.
“How do you know she works there?” Justin stared at him coldly. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
“I went there for lunch and bumped into her doing menial work at the back door. She was working so hard that it’s hard to tell she used to be your wife.” Ryan smiled and said with a hint of admiration, “She’s not arrogant or impetuous, and she knows what fights to pick. She truly is the most special woman I have ever met.” Justin clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice, “Then you haven’t met a lot of women.” “Well, at least I’m not like someone who can’t tell treasure from trash.” Ryan retorted and dissed Justin.
Justin’s eyes were red. His heart clenched.
“To be honest, I have a feeling that you’ll get back together with her.” “Impossible.” Justin’s voice was hoarse.
“It’s obvious that you still care about her. Otherwise, why would you rush over? Look at you. You came to see her at a moment’s notice, and your gaze is so intense when you look at her. How can you still say that you don’t care about her?” Ryan leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and shook his head. “Bro, you’re a real jerk. You are the one who abandoned your wife for your sweetheart, so why are you so angry when you see her with someone else? Are you planning to have multiple wives like Wyatt Thompson from Hatchbay?” “She promised Grandpa that we wouldn’t finalize our divorce until after his 80th birthday. She should keep her promise.” “She only agreed to delay it for a few days for the sake of your grandfather, but you’re clinging onto her like she’s your lifeline. You’re so shameless.” “That’s none of your business.” Justin felt suffocated.
“I know, but I like Ms. Brown, and I want to pursue her. That’s why I want to discuss it with you. Will you stop pestering my woman?” Ryan’s handsome face looked serious.
“Just give up. You’re not her type.” Justin’s face darkened.
“Well, she won’t know until she tries.” “Ryan Hoffman!” Ryan ignored Justin’s sullen face, tilted his head, and raised his eyebrows. “But if you regret your divorce and want to get back together with her before marrying Rosalind, I can back out and promise not to bother her again since you’re the only true friend that I have. But if you marry Rosalind and keep pestering Ms. Brown, then I won’t side with you. I will even help her go against you.’ Justin pursed his thin lips. His handsome face looked stern.
“Justin Salvador!” A roar echoed through the quiet corridor.
Just as Justin turned his head, someone punched him hard on the cheek.
