Ch. 51..60

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 51-Just last night, Bella secretly met up with Michael, who was getting drunk in a pub. She told him that Zeke would push him under the bus to save himself at the press conference the next day.

–“Impossible! You… Don’t even think of using me like this! I won’t come forward as a witness. I’m not that stupid!” “You’re stupid if you still insist on being so stubborn.” So, Bella and Michael negotiated a deal last night.

“I’ll be frank with you. I have evidence of you colluding with Zeke. I haven’t submitted it to the prosecutors yet because I wanted to give you one last chance for the sake of my father, since he was the one who promoted you to your position.” Michael recalled his career over the past 20 years. He started off as a banquet hall supervisor and got promoted to vice president over the years. Aside from his own efforts, Wyatt’s support played a big role in his career advancement.

Later, when Michael was in a position of power, he lost his integrity and ended up in this mess. He was regretful and guilty.

“If Zeke doesn’t push you out at tomorrow’s press conference, I will personally hand over this evidence to the prosecutor and proceed as planned. If he pushes you under the bus, as I predict he will, then you will report all his crimes to the prosecutor in person. If you realize your mistakes and correct them, I will hire a first-class lawyer to defend you and minimize your sentence. You can choose for yourself.” Bella successfully coerced Michael to hand over the evidence and be a witness to this case. This was a painful blow to the Gold family, and they would not recover from it.

She remembered what Wyatt often said, which was to always leave room for maneuver.

Even if she had the upper hand, she should not push others into a corner. Otherwise, it might backfire.

Axel returned to the Public Prosecutor’s Office and continued with the case, while Bella had to go back to work. Thus, they parted ways.

On the way to the hotel, Steven keenly spotted a Maybach following them through the rearview mirror.

“Ms. Bella, we are being followed! Do you want to call the police?” Bella looked at the rearview mirror nonchalantly. When she realized that it was Justin’s car, her heart trembled slightly.

It looked like Justin was also at the press conference just now, but he was just hiding in the dark.

He probably cared a lot about his fiancée and her family.

Hah!

Bella smirked. “Let’s not go back to the hotel. Let’s go for a ride by the Moon River.” “But the people following us…” Steven was still worried.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.” Bella smiled reassuringly and coolly.

Steven stared at her with widened eyes and thought, ‘Shouldn’t it be the other way around?’ The black sports car drove around the Moon River while Ian followed closely, paying close attention. He was not even so nervous during the college entrance exams or when he applied for Salvador Corporation.

Justin stared at Anna’s car intently, curious as to who was the man driving her around.

His driving skills were clearly not as good as hers. Otherwise, Ian would not have been able to keep up with him.

Justin vaguely saw Anna’s dark hair fluttering messily in the wind.

His frigid eyes warmed, and his gaze became softer.

The more he stared at her, his gaze became more lustful.

He thought, ‘How could she be so reckless, indulgent, and happy?’ Justin stared at her so intently that his eyes felt like they were burning.

Finally, the Bugatti stopped at the bank of the Moon River.

Bella got out of the car by herself, stood by the railing, and closed her eyes to enjoy the evening breeze.

A tall man stepped out of another car shortly after. He fastened the middle button of his suit elegantly, accentuating his well-built body. He looked most dazzling in the sunlight.

Justin looked at Anna, who was wearing a classy red dress. Her outfit complemented her gleaming almond eyes and fiery red lips. This scene was so beautiful that it was deserving of being made into a portrait and hung in the Palace of Versailles.

Justin pursed his thin lips and moved closer to her.

However, when he was only one step away from her, she suddenly took a step back to maintain an appropriate distance from him.

“Mr. Salvador, you’ve been following me the entire way since I left the press conference. Is it because you want to break my arm again?” Bella looked gorgeous when she smiled like that, showing off her pearly whites.

“Anna.” Justin said her name with a cold face as anger welled up in his chest.

He casually glanced at her left arm to assess her injury.

She seemed fine.

“Mr. Salvador, did you take the divorce papers and your documents with you today? I don’t want you to make this trip in vain, so let’s just finalize the divorce right now. Even though it’s getting late, I can ask Mr. Thompson to get the officers in City Hall to make an exception for us.” Bella’s smile became more playful.

She mocked him by emphasizing the word “divorce”.

“Anna, you must be very proud.” Justin’s eyes darkened as he took a step closer to her.

“What?” She frowned lightly.

“You used the two Thompson brothers’ power to suppress the Gold family, who will never recover from this incident. Anna, I really underestimated you!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 52-Bella’s eyelashes trembled, and her chest felt stuffy.

She looked straight into Justin’s eyes with a fiery gaze. Her clear and beautiful eyes held such fury that Justin wanted to avert his gaze. He was shocked to see such a powerful and intense stare-down coming from her.

After a while, Bella laughed. She looked at him like they were strangers.

“Oh, so you’re here to vent your anger on behalf of your beloved fiancee, huh? I bet you’ve been holding it in for quite some time now. Are you going to explode if you don’t confront me today?” Bella thought to herself, ‘Justin, you’re really something. After three years of marriage, I didn’t ask you for anything. Even if you don’t appreciate all the good things I did, you shouldn’t repeatedly use such insulting language to belittle me! What’s more, I no longer belong to you. Actually, you’ve never let me belong to you. I’m like a stray cat that has been standing outside your door, waiting for you to take me home. I looked forward to that day with all my heart, but in the end, you abandoned me and resented me. Why should I let you trample all over me?!’ “It’s a pity that even someone as influential as you won’t be able to help the Gold family get through this disaster, right? Zeke Gold harmed the interests of KS Group, bribed my employees, falsified evidence, and framed others. The evidence is conclusive, so you can’t save him even if you want to.” Bella’s eyes suddenly became sharp. The smile on her red lips was so charming that Justin was momentarily dazed. “You’re angry that you can’t change the situation, so you can only find fault with me by mocking me with my private life. You just want to humiliate me to vent your anger. But I don’t want to play by your rules. I’ll fight for what I want, and I won’t ever look back. I don’t care what other people think of me. That includes you, Justin. If I want the Gold family to go bankrupt and want the Gold siblings to pay for what they have done, I’ll do whatever I want. No one can stop me!” Justin’s muscles tightened under his suit. His strong arms were tense, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

He thought, ‘Just look at her! Now that she has a backer, she’s so confident and sharp-tongued!’ Justin knew what she said was wrong, but he could not tell her how he felt.

He was not angry because she used the Thompson brothers to punish the Gold family.

He was mad that she smiled so sweetly at Axel.

“You’re shameless!” Justin’s breathing became heavier as he spat out those words.

“Am I shameless? I’m just glad you didn’t describe me as an abandoned woman.” Bella tried her best to smile frivolously to spite him. “But even if I am shameless, what does it have to do with you? Who do you think you are? I can do whatever I want. You have no right to tell me what to do.” She did not want to continue the conversation, so she turned around and left in a huff.

Unexpectedly, Justin grabbed her arm, which happened to be her left arm that had only recovered a few days ago. He used a frightening amount of force as well.

“Ouch! Let me go!” Bella was in pain, but she did not dare to struggle for fear of another dislocation.

“Anna, you know exactly who I am.” Justin’s throat was hoarse, and his eyes were intense.

It was like they were at a betting table. His desire to win forced him to rack his brains to reveal her cards.

Bella laughed in exasperation. “I do know who you are. You’re just my good-for-nothing ex- husband!” “Anna!” Justin’s eyes instantly turned red.

“Justin Salvador! Let her go!” Suddenly, a tall man stood in front of Bella to shield her as he shoved Justin away fiercely.

“Steve, I’m fine. Mr. Salvador just wanted to chat with me.” Bella comforted Steven without any fear.

“If it was just a chat, why would he touch you? He even yanked your injured arm! You were just complaining about how uncomfortable it was before going to bed last night. It’s all his fault!” Steven glared at Justin warily.

Justin’s heart trembled. He curled the fingers that touched her.

Bella looked at Steven, who was still fuming, and felt that he should not have said so much in front of Justin, lest Justin think that she was just acting pitiful.

“Are you Asher’s secretary?” Justin recognized Steven at a glance. His face was dark.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 53-Steven replied, “Yes, but now I’m Miss…” Bella tugged on Steven’s arm and shot a look at him, telling him to shut up.

Steven was quick-witted and immediately stopped talking.

Justin scoffed. “Hah! Asher even assigned his most trusted secretary to you. He’s really treating you well.” Justin put aside his complicated emotions so that his face turned stone cold again. He sneered. ” Congratulations. I guess you’re about to marry into a wealthy family again. You deceived me, and now you’re deceiving Asher Thompson. I hope that you never let him see through your true colors.” Every word was like a knife that pierced and twisted Bella’s heart.

Steven instantly noticed Bella’s unsteady breathing because he was holding her in his arms. Her thin shoulders were also trembling slightly.

What puzzled Steven even more were Justin’s words. ‘What the hell is he talking about? Is he crazy?!’ “Steve, let me introduce you to this man.” Bella took a deep breath and put away her heartache. She smiled and said, “This is Mr. Salvador, president of Salvador Corporation, and my ex-husband, who I was married to for three years.” “What…?!” Steven’s face turned pale. He felt like he was struck by lightning.

Bella disappeared for three years and had gotten married to Justin Salvador.

She hid from the world and the Thompson family just so she could be Justin’s wife?!

Why the hell would she do that?!

“But now, we’re divorced, and I left without taking a penny. He has nothing to do with me, so we’re strangers.” “We’re not officially divorced yet! Grandpa’s birthday…” “That’s enough! Stop using Grandpa as an excuse!” Bella was furious. Her eyes were red as she said, “You’re just using Grandpa to maintain this ridiculous marriage so that you can humiliate me like this, right? That’s because you know that I care about Grandpa.” Justin’s body shook. He winced in pain, as if this woman had bitten him.

Anna had never been so angry before. In his memory, she was an even-tempered person. She was like a sandbag that he could punch because she would never complain, no matter what.

But this time, her eyes were full of anger and hatred.

It was a hundred times worse than the last time she glared at him in the hospital.

Bella yelled, “There’s nothing left between us. You ended our relationship by cheating on me while we were still married. But have I ever blamed you for anything? What gives you the right to isolate and neglect me when we were married while still expecting me to be a chaste and dutiful wife? Do you expect me to never marry again? How can you be so selfish?” Selfish?

Justin felt a stabbing pain in his chest.

He did not even realize how abnormal his behavior was gradually becoming. He also did not know why he was still so obsessed with his ex-wife.

“What’s more, I have never broken a promise. I will keep our divorce a secret until Grandpa’s birthday. You were the one who failed to handle this and allowed Rosalind to expose everything.” Bella smiled bitterly. The last glint of light in her eyes was extinguished. “Come to think of it, I know why you’re blaming me for everything. That’s because you don’t want to blame Rosalind, right?” Justin felt that his whole body had turned to stone.

He watched helplessly as Steven held his ex-wife. His cheeks were hot, as if he had been slapped countless times.

“I will never look back.” Justin clenched his fists.

He had clearly given her up first, but why did he feel like the one being abandoned?

His throat was filled with bitterness, and his heart felt like it had been shot.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 54-Bella was not in the mood to go to the hotel, so she changed her route and drove home.

Steven was silent for a long time. Finally, he could not help but ask, “Ms. Bella, does Justin not know that you’re the heiress of KS Group?” “Yeah,” Bella responded in a low voice. She looked tired.

Steven finally understood. No wonder Bella had to find a substitute for herself the last time Justin came unannounced to the office.

“Steve, I didn’t mean to hide it from you…” “I understand.” Bella raised her eyes in shock.

“No one wants to relive bad memories, so it’s natural that you’ll want to keep them locked up in the deepest depths of your heart. I’m just worried about you and how your father will react when he finds out about this. He’ll be distressed and heartbroken for you.” Steven’s hand that was holding the steering wheel was clenched so tightly that his veins were bulging. His eyes were also watery.

Everyone in the Thompson family loved Bella. Yet Justin ruined her.

If Wyatt found out, he would probably chop Justin to pieces.

“I’ll hide it as long as I can. Now that I have experienced a failed marriage, I just want to be single forever!” Bella closed her eyes. Her mind kept replaying those hurtful words that Justin said. She smiled wryly and said, “Marriage is really boring.” “If you don’t get married, I won’t either.” Steven pledged his allegiance.

“No, don’t do that! You should get married. You’re my secretary, not a priest! If word of this spreads, people will think that I will only hire celibates. You’ll ruin my reputation!” Bella quickly waved in a panic.

Steven laughed awkwardly, feeling bitter in his heart.

He knew that he was not good enough for her, but he was willing to stay by her side and support her silently.

“Ms. Bella, why did you want to marry Justin?” Bella squinted her eyes. She looked dejected as a flurry of emotions surged in her heart.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t pry…’ “When I was 11 years old, I went hiking with my class as a school activity. That was when I lost the sapphire pendant that my mother left me. I didn’t care about the teacher’s obstruction and went up the mountains alone to look for the pendant in the dark. I went through all the paths I took, but I still couldn’t find it. In the end, I got lost. There was a hurricane that night, and I was trapped in the mountains with no signal on my phone. I was quite certain I would die there. At that time, Justin happened to be working as a ranger in the National Forest Park during his summer vacation. He led his team to search for me in the mountains despite the extreme weather. Finally, he found me behind a rock, almost frozen…” With a soothing voice, Bella narrated her past that occupied her entire youth.

“I opened my eyes and saw Justin in mountaineering gear. He looked so handsome even when drenched. His eyes were shining brighter than the stars, and they were so captivating…” “Wow! You’re doing great, little girl! Don’t be afraid. I’ll carry you down the mountain!” That was the first time Bella met Justin, and it was love at first sight.

“Justin carried me down the mountain. He was afraid that I would fall asleep on the way back, so he kept telling me jokes that weren’t funny. He’s really bad at telling jokes.” Bella recalled the past, looking calm with a slight smile.

–“What’s your name, little girl?” –“Well, if you don’t tell me, I’ll just call you little girl since you’re so small anyway…’ “I’m not small! I’m growing faster than the other girls!” -“Well, you shouldn’t go around telling other boys about this.” –“Why not?” –“Because some bad boys will take advantage of you, silly.” Bella’s breathing became unsteady, and her heart was pounding.

Justin was 17 years old at that time. He was not as tall or strong as he was now, but she already felt an irreplaceable sense of security with him.

Later, they almost fell off a cliff, but Justin held onto her tightly and saved her life.

Then Justin disappeared from her life for three years. The next time she saw him was on TV. He was attending a charity event with the Salvador family.

From then on, Bella started chasing him wherever he went.

When she heard that Justin was on the battlefield, she decided to join Doctors Without Borders just so she could silently accompany him.

She used to love him despite all odds, but now, she was so disheartened that she could no longer love him again.

Bella smiled bitterly. It turned out that thirteen years of infatuated love would one day end so tragically.

Steven listened quietly and felt shocked and regretful.

“But Steve, I really can’t bring myself to hate him.” Bella stretched out her hand and felt the wind passing between her fingers, just like the love that she could never grasp.

“I willingly loved Justin, so I don’t regret the things I have done. I’ve paid my debt to him.” Justin was in a trance until he returned to Tideview Manor. His mind was buzzing, as if a thousand flies were in his head.

He felt suffocated like a huge boulder was pressing down on his chest.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 55-Justin kept thinking about the way Amma looked at him at the end. She looked so disappointed and resentful, as if they were enemies.

Why did his heart feel empty?

It felt as if he had lost something important to him.

As soon as Justin walked into the study, Wilma followed him. She looked a little unhappy.

“Young Master, Ms. Gold’s car is downstairs. You should go down and greet her.” “I’m not going.” Wilma was shocked to see Justin ignore Rosalind.

She was so happy that she could shed tears of joy.

“I know why she’s here.” Justin slumped on the sofa. His eyes were a little distant. “Go down and tell her that if she’s here for Zeke, don’t bother. The Gold family must be in chaos now, so she should go back and spend more time with her parents. After two days when the media scrutiny dies down, I will go and visit her.” “What if she refuses to leave?” “Then just let her be.” Justin sighed heavily and rubbed his sore temples.

All that came to mind was the way Anna called him a “good-for-nothing ex-husband”.

‘Ugh! How am I a good-for-nothing? She doesn’t even know what I’m capable of!’ Wilma responded with a smile and secretly gave Justin a thumbs-up as she hurriedly left the study.

Justin frowned. It seemed that Wilma really hated Rosalind from the bottom of her heart. Wilma looked like Christmas came early when she got the green light to kick Rosalind out.

Wilma went outside the villa and stood on the steps, glaring at the anxious Rosalind.

“The young master said that he won’t interfere with your family affairs. You should give up and go home.” “Let me go in and see Justin!” After saying that, Rosalind wanted to rush through the door.

However, Rosalind was weak compared to the strong Wilma. Wilma only had to stand upright. She did not even stretch out her hands. But Rosalind had already lost her balance and fell to the ground.

“Ah! You… How dare you push me! I’m Justin’s fiancée, your future lady boss! How could you be so rude to me?!” Rosalind slumped on the ground in anger and pointed at Wilma. “I’m going to tell Justin that you bullied me! I’ll get him to fire you!” “Hah! Future lady boss? I’m afraid that you’ll have to wait a while longer before you try to boss me around. Even if you marry the young master, I will never recognize you as my boss. In my heart, the only lady boss I will ever have is Ms. Brown. Even if the young master and Ms. Brown are separated now, she will always be the only lady boss that I respect. Other women like you can step aside!” “You!” Rosalind was livid.

“Ms. Gold, feel free to complain about me to the young master. I’ll just thank you if you really have the means to make the young master fire me. It’s about time I retire. This way, I won’t have to come up with an excuse!” Wilma really wanted Justin to come downstairs and see Rosalind’s fierce face at this moment. Rosalind did not look like her usual soft, frail, and harmless self.

“Justin! You can’t just let this be! You must help my brother!” Rosalind stopped talking to Wilma. She simply knelt on the ground and cried.

This scene looked like it was taken out of a TV show, where a disgraced mistress was begging for mercy from the King.

Seeing that Justin did not respond for a long time, Rosalind started to call out to different people.

“Aunt Shannon! Please help me! Aunt Shannon! Uncle Greg!” “Stop shouting! The chairman went out with Madam Shannon and her daughters to have dinner with the Old Master. They won’t be back for a while.” “Then I’ll wait here until Justin sees me!” Wilma raised her head to look at the sky, which was covered in dark clouds. “It’s going to rain. I have to collect the laundry. Shout all you like!” After that, Wilma left Rosalind behind and went into the villa, telling the servants not to open the door for Rosalind, no matter what.

Rosalind shouted for a long time until she lost her voice, but Justin still did not show up.

She was pale and flustered. She could feel the changes in Justin recently, and it was becoming more difficult to control him.

Usually, Justin would come running to her when he heard that she was around, no matter how busy he was. He would put aside his work and come to see her. When he saw her crying, he would try his best to coax her with lavish gifts. He was always generous with her.

But now, Justin would not even meet her.

Not long after, it began to rain heavily.

Rosalind decided to play the pity card. Instead of sitting in the car, she knelt outside until she was drenched. She was shivering, and she looked like she would collapse at any moment.

“Justin… Let me see you…” “Hmph! Such a cheap trick. Only a fool will fall for it!” Wilma sneered as she stood in front of the window watching the show.

Suddenly, she heard strong footsteps coming from behind.

Wilma turned around and saw Justin walking toward the entrance with a tight frown.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 56-Wilma was shocked to see Justin. She thought, ‘Oh, no! Does the young master not notice this little bitch’s cheap tricks? If so, he’s really stupid…’ At this time, Justin picked up a black umbrella and opened the front door. His face was as gloomy as the sky outside.

“Young Master!” Wilma called out anxiously.

However, the man still went out with the umbrella. Wilma was so vexed that she stomped her foot.

Outside the door, Rosalind sat in the rain. She could barely put up with this act and wanted to retreat.

However, when she saw that handsome man walking toward her, she felt excited. She quickly started sobbing pitifully.

Justin narrowed his eyes and quickly walked up to Rosalind, holding up an umbrella for her while lifting her up from the ground. He was strong and determined, so she could not resist.

“Justin…” Rosalind let out a soft cry and threw herself into his arms.

Rosalind looked like she was on the verge of collapsing earlier, but now that she saw Justin, she was rejuvenated. Her arms wrapped tightly around his strong waist, like a snake encircling its prey. Her wet face was rubbing against his chest.

Justin was frustrated. He said in a deep voice, “You are already weak as it is. You’ll get sick if you stay in the rain like this.” “If I don’t do this, will you come to see me? I just want to see you. Why don’t you want to see me?” Rosalind raised her pale and wretched face. Her eyes were flustered. “Justin… Do you not love me anymore? You’ve been cold toward me recently… Is it because of that suit? I know I made a mistake. I can apologize to Anna and beg her for forgiveness.” “No, I’m not angry anymore.” Justin looked indifferent and said, “You should be happy now that you’ve seen me. Rose, go home and spend time with your family. After this storm subsides, I’ll go and visit you.” “Justin! Please… Please save my brother!” Seeing that Justin wanted to drive her away, Rosalind was so anxious that her face turned red. She no longer cared to play her game and hugged Justin. Her hands were gradually slipping down his strong body.

“My brother is about to be sentenced to prison! No lawyer in Savrow dares to defend my brother, no matter how much money we offer, because of the Thompsons! The Thompson family are such bullies. They want to drive my family into bankruptcy. Justin… You must help us… My family is almost bankrupt, and my brother is about to be a prisoner! I beg you…” Justin’s expression was cold. He did not waver at all, as if he were unaffected by all her mortal woes.

He was ruthless, but he was strangely persistent about loving Rosalind. He stuck to a promise he made as a teenager until he was 30 years old. He did not even hesitate to hurt another woman who loved him deeply, nor did he care if he went against his grandfather. He would still marry Rosalind.

However, he was impartial when it came to business. He had no tolerance for the crimes committed by the Gold family, and he made his attitude clear.

At this moment, Justin recalled the harsh words he had used when he was trying to negotiate with Bella on behalf of the Golds. He even used the Golds’ situation to mock Anna. Regret arose in his heart, and his tone became even harsher.

“The Thompson family is innocent in this matter. Your brother brought this upon himself. I suggest that he confess to his crimes so that he can seek a reduced sentence. That’s the right thing to do. Gold Corporation should be overhauled because of poor management. Even if I allocate another billion. dollars to your company, it won’t make a difference if you don’t rectify the internal issues.

Rosalind’s lips trembled. She was dumbfounded.

She originally thought that Justin would become soft-hearted and give in to her if she cried miserably in front of him.

But this time, she was wrong. Justin had been tolerant of her before because she had not touched his bottom line.

Since she crossed a line, he would not show her any mercy, even if he loved her.

In the end, Justin forced the crying Rosalind into the car, ordered the driver to lock the door, and watched her leave Tideview Manor. His frown relaxed after a while.

Justin stood in the rain for a long time, holding the black umbrella. When he thought of the disappointed look in Anna’s eyes when she looked at him, his heart ached.

The pain was dense and unavoidable.

After Zeke was arrested, the Golds became listless.

When Rosalind’s parents saw their daughter’s pale and dejected face and mud-covered body, their first words were not voicing their concerns about how she ended up like this. Instead, they anxiously asked if Justin would help Zeke, even if it meant getting Zeke a lawyer.

As a result, Rosalind just shook her head with a gloomy look on her face.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 57-“Useless wench!” Rosalind’s father, Patrick, coughed several times in pain and scolded Rosalind. Have you done anything to help the family even though you’ve cozied up to Justin all these years?! You didn’t get a single asset from him or marry him after dating him for so long. It seems to me that Justin doesn’t love you at all. Giving birth to a daughter like you is just a waste of money! You useless bitch!” Rosalind’s eyes were red. Her father had always preferred sons over daughters. When Patrick heard that his wife, Jean, was pregnant with a girl, he forced her to abort the pregnancy. However, the doctor said that Jean would no longer have another chance of conceiving if they were to terminate this pregnancy. Jean also insisted on giving birth to Rosalind.

As a result, after giving birth to Rosalind, Jean was still unable to conceive again. That was why Patrick hated Rosalind even more.

Rosalind has lived in the shadow of her brother since she was a child. To get attention, she clung to her aunt, Shannon. Rosalind lost her childlike innocence at a young age and learned how to be scheming so that she could make a future for herself. She wanted to impress her father and become the most respected woman in Savrow.

Justin was her first test subject when she was just 8 years old.

Rosalind initially looked down on Justin’s identity as an illegitimate son. Instead, she was more interested in his eldest brother.

Shannon had told Rosalind to practice with Justin first. Even if Rosalind did not like Justin, it was still nice to have a wealthy boy as her follower.

Thus, Shannon provided her with the opportunity to become Justin’s savior and the light of redemption in his time of darkness. That was why Justin was so obsessed with Rosalind.

During this time, Rosalind brought a lot of benefits to the Gold family. But in the end, her father only regarded her as a tool to gain power. Patrick said that she was worthless if she made the slightest mistake.

Rosalind’s eyes were filled with hatred. She sneered and thought, ‘I don’t want to help Zeke. He should just rot in prison for the rest of his life. That way, Gold Corporation will be mine, even if it’s just an empty shell!’ “That’s enough, Patrick! Don’t say such hurtful things! What can Rose do if Justin refuses to help?!” Rosalind’s mother, Jean, hurriedly came over to hug her daughter and glared at her husband. “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t spoiled Zeke to the point where he thinks that he’s above the law, we wouldn’t have ended up like this! You men only know how to take it out on us when things go wrong!” Patrick was fuming. He reminded himself that his wife’s sister was Gregory Salvador’s wife, so he controlled his anger.

“Our top priority now is to restore our company’s image as quickly as possible. Secondly, we need to finalize Rose and Justin’s wedding date.” Jean’s eyes turned vicious when she thought of Justin’s refusal to save her son. “If it doesn’t work out, just find a way to get pregnant. When the time comes, the Salvadors won’t be able to get rid of Rose.” “Mom! Did you forget…” Rosalind pointed to her belly in panic.

Jean remembered the stretch marks on Rose’s belly that had not been removed yet and sighed in frustration.

“Rose, if it can’t be removed, just cover them with tattoos. That’s the fastest solution.” Rosalind was very reluctant to have random tattoos on her belly because she had always been playing the “good girl” persona.

After several courses of laser treatment, her stretch marks were still obvious. If the marks would not fade by her wedding date, this was her last resort.

At this time, the servants came downstairs with Rosalind’s things.

“Madam, we’ve sorted out everything.” “Mom, these are my jewelry boxes! Where are you taking them?!” “I’m selling these.” “What?! Why? These are my collectibles!” Rosalind ran over in a panic and grabbed the most valuable box.

Justin gave this ruby pendant named “The Flaming Heart” as a token of love. Justin personally flew to Feranco three times two years ago and stayed there for more than half a month to hire a first-class jewelry designer to design this necklace for Rosalind.

Although Rosalind did not know how much the pendant cost, such a large ruby was extremely rare. It would cost at least seven figures. Justin had always been generous to her.

“The company needs money now. If you and I sell some of our valuable jewelry, we can still keep the company running. There will be a charity auction in half a month, so we must attend the auction to win a favorable image for our family! What’s more, it’s Old Master Salvador’s birthday soon. We can buy something at the auction as his birthday gift. That’ll kill two birds with one stone!” Jean looked at her daughter with a lamenting expression, but she still comforted Rosalind. “Rose, when you marry Justin, that boy will buy you all the jewelry you want. Don’t worry about it. Don’t forgo the big picture because of a small profit. You will be the future lady boss of Salvador Corporation. We can’t count on your brother anymore, so you’re our only hope!” Rosalind hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and handed the jewelry box to her mother.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 58-Gold Corporation was in a huge product and trust crisis.

Netizens were clamoring to boycott Gold Corporation. Of the 500 stores across the country that Zeke was so proud of, 400 closed down in less than a week. The remaining 100 stores or so were hanging by a thread. They went on a fire sale just to clear their stock, even if they were selling below their cost price.

Seeing the huge losses day by day, Patrick, who was already in poor health, collapsed.

Jean went to her sister’s house to ask for help, but Shannon dared not intervene. She could only sit back and watch.

“Nigel has given us an ultimatum. If anyone helps the Gold family, he will disown us. Jean, I really can’t help you this time.” Shannon sighed, took her sister’s hand, and comforted her. “Although I can’t help your company, I have asked Greg to settle on a wedding date for Rose and Justin as soon as possible. It’s scheduled to be the first weekend after Nigel’s birthday. What do you think?” “Do we still have to wait until his 80th birthday?” Jean asked impatiently.

Jean could wait, but the company could not.

“Sigh. I wish Rose would marry Justin tomorrow, but Nigel insists on waiting until after his birthday, so there’s nothing I can do about it.” Shannon lowered her voice and added, “I heard that Anna Brown had an affair with the president of KS Group after she left Justin. On the day she left, Mr. Thompson picked her up. Many servants saw it.” Jean also heard something like this from her son last time. She felt extremely jealous.

She hated that her daughter was not so skilled in fishing for a good husband. Rosalind could not even get Justin to marry her, but Justin’s ex-wife scored a second time with the Thompsons, which was equal to the Salvadors.

“I was just wondering if Anna was the one who persuaded Mr. Thompson to target your family.” Shannon looked confused and continued to fan the flames.

Jean was immediately enlightened by this suggestion. She sat up on the sofa, and her eyes turned red with anger.

“That damn bitch! She delayed Rose’s marriage and interfered even after she was divorced from Justin. Does she think that no one can touch her now that she has found a new backer?” “Sigh… She’s really invincible now.” Shannon clicked her tongue and continued, “After all, Anna is now Mr. Thompson’s favorite. No one will dare offend her because of the Thompson family’s status.” “Right. But just look at the disparity between them! The Thompson family is one of the top families in the country. How could she dream of marrying Mr. Thompson?!” Jean was furious. A cold gleam flashed in her eyes. “Hah! Anna was very good at pretending to be Justin’s devoted wife, right? I bet she’s been hooking up with Mr. Thompson for a long time. Otherwise, how could she get together with Mr. Thompson so quickly? Shannon, don’t you think it’ll be exciting to expose her true colors on Nigel’s birthday?” Shannon smiled and said nothing. She picked up the expensive teacup and sipped on the black tea.

That was indeed a good idea.

On the other side, in the general manager’s office of the KS World Hotel, Bella was playing a gory video game.

Bella was very talented and efficient. She had finished approving all the documents and was taking a break by playing her favorite game. She always enjoyed a killer game.

As soon as she slashed a monster, blood spilled all over the computer screen. Steven came in just in time to see this scene. He was so frightened that he turned away and closed his eyes tightly.

“Spit it out. If not, then leave.” Bella clicked her mouse and keyboard rapidly. Her dexterity was incredible.

“Ms. Bella, I have two interesting things to report to you.” As he spoke, Steven used his hand to block his eyes from seeing the computer screen, quickly put a document in front of Bella, then retreated far away.

“OMG! You’re such a wuss! How will you be able to protect your girlfriend in the future? Next time, I’ll take you to a haunted house to build up your courage!” After saying that, Bella, who was the butcher, chopped down another person. Once again, the whole screen was covered in blood.

“Yes!” She cheered.

Steven’s eyes widened in shock.

Bella only quit the game after she killed all the monsters. Then she picked up the file.

“Why are you showing me pawned items from the Thompson Pawn Shop?” “Rosalind’s mother sold jewelry to our pawn shop. Sold, not pawned.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 59-Steven smiled with a hint of amusement. “Ms. Bella, you asked me to keep an eye on the Gold family’s activities, and I made an interesting discovery.” Bella smiled slyly. “I expected it. Without Salvador Corporation’s help, the Gold family would have had to find ways to raise money to fill the hole. But I thought they would sell their house or land. I didn’t expect them to just sell some jewelry. Tsk, tsk. I guess they’re wealthier than they look.” “They’re just burning the last bit of money to stay alive. It’s not as satisfying to see them slowly wither out than to collapse all at once.

]] Steven snorted coldly. “That’s their retribution for defaming us!” Bella did not say anything else. She just looked through the files of the pawned items leisurely.

Not many people know that the Thompson family had a large-scale pawn shop in Savrow and Hatchbay.

Wyatt liked to collect antiques-calligraphy, paintings, and rare treasures. Thus, he secretly set up two pawn shops so that he would be able to receive some unexpected treasures.

He had found many treasures in the past few years in the pawn shop. After all, not many people redeemed their pawned items within the stipulated time.

Suddenly, Bella widened her eyes. Her fingertips trembled slightly.

When she saw “The Flaming Heart”, she suppressed the surge of blood rushing to her chest. Her eyes were filled with mockery and anger.

This necklace was a token of love that Justin gave Rosalind. He went through hoops to get this for Rosalind two years ago. When she first saw this pendant under the light two years ago, Bella fell deeply in love with it.

At that time, she dreamed that the necklace was for her. She hoped that Justin would give her a gift. She would still be ecstatic if he gave her something inexpensive, even a pebble.

However, that was merely her dream.

Justin only gave gifts to the people he loved. Since he did not love her, she did not deserve a gift from him.

In the end, Rosalind sold off Justin’s thoughtful gift that represented his love for her. Bella felt like laughing when she saw this, but she felt bitter about it.

“I’m curious to see how Justin will react if he finds out about this.” “What did you say?” Steven did not hear her murmur.

“The Gold family doesn’t know what they’re selling. This necklace costs at least eight figures, but they’re selling it for $7 million? We made a huge profit out of this!” Bella flashed a devious smile.

At this time, her phone rang. It was her eldest brother calling.

“Hey, Ash!” Bella regained her composure. Her voice was as sweet as honey.

“Bella, how are you? Are you tired? Is there anything you need help with?” Asher was gentle and thoughtful.

“I’m not tired. But you shouldn’t overwork yourself. Take a break sometimes.” They chatted for a while before Asher said, “There is a charity auction on the weekend. Why don’t you attend it on my behalf? Dad asked me to help him buy the antique rosewood chair. His budget is $100 million. But I have to go to church on the weekend, so I won’t be free. Can I trouble you to buy that chair for Dad?” “Me? What should I go as? Girlfriend of the KS Group’s president?” Bella teased him, picked up a chocolate bar, and took a bite.

“Sure.” Bella was dumbfounded.

“You can be whoever you want to be as long as you go in my stead. Why don’t you tell everyone that you’re the Thompson family’s treasure?” Bella chewed on the chocolate and nodded. “That seems like a good idea.’ Asher chuckled and said dotingly, “You’ve never shown your face in front of the media or the public. No one in Savrow’s elite circle recognizes you either, so you can go and have fun.” “Okay, then! But I think the $100 million budget is a little low. What if I see something I like?” “Just bid for it. I’ll buy it for you. But you know the rules in our family. If you bid for something, you must win it. Don’t leave any chance for others.” “I know. Wyatt’s motto is to always be a step ahead of everyone!” Bella snapped her fingers and laughed.

“Good luck, Bella. Don’t forget to get the rosewood chair!” After hanging up the phone, Steven worriedly reminded Bella. “Ms. Bella, since we’re participating in the charity auction in Mr. Asher’s stead, we ought to bring an auction item as well. But I’m afraid it’s a bit hasty to prepare for it now.” “Yes, we should bring something, and I have just the item for it.” Bella smiled like a fox.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 60-Finally, it was the weekend.

Many reporters gathered outside and were not allowed into the Savrow Platinum Auction House because rich people valued their privacy.

Those who attended the auction were collectors and investment bankers who only had their minds on profit. They were not celebrities who needed media exposure, so no one took an interest in taking interviews. They only flocked to the treasures on display.

Of course, Shannon, Jean, and Rosalind were the only exceptions.

At this time every year, Shannon would be all decked out in her finest dress and jewelry to attend this high-profile charity auction. She seemed like a third-rate star walking on the red carpet, letting the media take photos of her while she blocked the entrance. Then she would leave indignantly when the staff of the auction house persuaded her to move aside.

It was as if she was afraid that everyone would forget that she was the outdated actress who rose to the top by being a homewrecker more than 20 years ago. Gregory had not attended this auction for the past two years, probably because he was embarrassed by his wife.

However, Shannon did not repeat her old tricks this year since Jean repeatedly begged Shannon to leave the spotlight for Rosalind and herself. No matter how unwilling Shannon was, she had to give in to Jean’s request.

Thus, the “ushers” standing at the entrance this year became Rosalind and Jean.

“This time, we’re attending the auction, hoping to bid for some excellent collectibles while doing our part for charity.” Jean acted like an elite woman and spoke confidently in front of the reporters.

“Mrs. Gold, what is the current financial situation of Gold Corporation? I heard it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.” One of the reporters asked sharply.

“Is Mr. Gold’s investigation over? Will he be sentenced to jail?” “I heard that there’s a change in sentiment between your daughter and the CEO of Salvador Corporation. Is this true?” Change in sentiment?

Rosalind heard this and suddenly stepped forward, holding the hem of her floor-length dress. She glared at the reporter until her scalp went numb.

“What do you mean by that? Where did you hear that?!” “Ms. Gold, you don’t need to be so sensitive. It’s just a casual question. After all, as your fiancé, Mr. Salvador didn’t help your family in crisis. He hasn’t spoken or expressed his position until now. It’s only reasonable that his attitude in the recent event will cause such speculation.” “Justin and I haven’t broken up yet! Don’t talk nonsense!” When Rosalind thought about how Justin had not taken the initiative to contact her these days, she became anxious. Her voice also rose an octave.

Jean pulled her frustrated daughter behind her and smiled at the cameras. “My daughter and Mr. Salvador’s relationship has always been very stable. Please don’t think too much about it. The situation between Gold Corporation and Salvador Corporation is a commercial secret, so we don’t know much about it.” “Mr. Salvador is also present today. Why didn’t you attend with him, Ms. Gold?” “It seems like you two have never been photographed together in public. Is it to avoid suspicion?” “Why should they avoid suspicion? Mr. Salvador will definitely attend with my daughter if he’s here …” A reporter stated, “But many of us saw that Mr. Salvador had already entered the venue half an hour in advance.” Rosalind and Jean were caught off guard, and their faces were grim.

On the other side, Justin had already entered the venue, accompanied by his assistant, Ian.

“Justin!” Ryan walked over in a hurry. He narrowed his charming eyes and hugged Justin’s waist affectionately.

“Tsk, someone’s been training!” Ryan even poked Justin’s lean waist.

“Watch your hands.” Justin frowned. He did not move and only glared at Ryan.

“Tsk, so serious! Back in the old days, you were always pinching me when we were sleeping together.” Ryan stopped touching Justin’s waist. Instead, he hugged Justin’s broad shoulders and said, “Hey, your fiancée and future mother-in-law are here. Why don’t you go over and say hello?” “I should avoid arousing suspicion.” “Pft! I guess you’re not all love brains to save the Gold family. They’re notorious for their poor- quality products. No one wants to help them.” “Who are you calling love-brained?” Justin’s face suddenly darkened as he continued, “Don’t think that you can say just because this is your turf.” whatever you want It was a well-known fact among the elites that Platinum Auction Shop was owned by the Hoffman. Group and was fully managed by Ryan.

“Bro, I’m doing this for your own good. I really don’t want to see your reputation ruined by that good- for-nothing Gold family.” Ryan pursed his lips and said, “My grandfather didn’t want the Gold family to attend the charity dinner, but he decided to let it be because he didn’t want to offend you. You know that the Golds don’t deserve to be here.” “Right now, yes. But Rose will marry me sooner or later. When the time comes, I hope that you’ll change your mind about her.” Justin’s eyes dimmed. “After all, she’s different from her family.” “Okay. I’ll respect her, but you probably won’t like what I’m about to say.” “Then don’t say it.” “In terms of appearance and personality, I still think that your beautiful and resilient ex-wife is more suitable for you. You need her kind of fire to warm up someone as cold as you.” Ryan went ahead and said it anyway.
