Ch. 521..530
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 521-Justin stood still and gladly accepted Declan’s words.
He had heard the same thing so many times before he had gotten used to it.
“Mr. Salvador, Bella and my brother Declan have not seen each other in a very long time.” Asher Thompson walked over to Justin and said calmly, “I think she wants to see him more than she wants to see you. Your presence here is not only disruptive to Bella’s recovery, but it’s also intruding on our family time. Now that Bella is with us, there is no reason for you to still be worried and to stay here any longer. So please, go back.” Asher’s gaze was placid, and his tone was serene. There was no fluctuation in his emotions.
But Justin felt like every single one of Asher’s words was a sharp knife that stabbed his heart, draining his body dry of blood.
Outside, the storm had ceased, and the sky slowly brightened to a melancholy blue.
Justin held his soaked coat as he walked outside heavily.
It felt as if the coat still held some of Bella’s residual warmth, and he could not help but clutch it tighter even though he felt ice-cold.
“Justin Salvador, my sister has given up and sacrificed much too much for you.” –“Don’t you know that Bella once nearly died for you?! She went after you-” He thought, ‘Went after me? What happened when she went after me?
Sacrificed? What had she sacrificed? What else had happened in the past?!’ Declan Brown’s words echoed in Justin’s head. The vein in his temple suddenly pulsed, and pain exploded throughout his body.
“Justin!” “Mr. Salvador!” Justin struggled to look up as large beads of sweat slid down his handsome face.
He could barely make out Ryan Hoffman and lan Harris, who had made their way there upon hearing the news, running toward him through his blurry vision.
“Justin, why do you look so pale? Are you alright?” “I’m fine.” Justin looked down, gazing fixedly at the coat in his hand.
“Then what about the young madam? Did you manage to find her? How is she now?!” lan asked anxiously.
Before Justin could reply, a tall figure shouldered past him hard, walking straight toward the hospital doors.
“Hey! Are you blind, Lovett?!” lan roared towards Steven’s back.
The collision made Justin’s head spin. Despite his tall and sturdy figure, he was trembling and looked like he was about to fall apart at any moment now.
Steven looked back to sneer at him. “Ha!” “F-Mr. Salvador is the person who saved your Ms. Thompson, you know! What sort of attitude is that?!” lan was enraged and really wanted to go up and fight him.
“It’s what he owes Ms. Bella. With this, I’ll consider it even. And you think I’d thank him? In your dreams.
Upon saying that, Steven clenched his jaw and walked away without looking back.
Justin felt tightness and pain in his chest, and sweat beaded up on his forehead. His hands clenched so tightly that they turned red, and his fingers were about to break the skin of his palm, but he still felt no pain.
Because a bone-deep pain was spreading up his spine and testing his willpower.
“Justin, something’s wrong with you. We need to get you checked out at the hospital-Justin!” Before Ryan could finish speaking, Justin, finally no longer able to hold back, coughed up a mouthful of blood that surged up through his throat.
“Mr. Salvador!” lan was about to burst into tears.
Steven was stunned too. He had not expected the man who was still talking to him earlier, completely fine, to suddenly spit up blood. In the next second, Justin swayed and collapsed to the ground.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 522-Justin coughing up blood and fainting in front of them shocked the three men to the core.
Luckily, they were right in front of the hospital. Ryan and lan hurriedly helped the doctors and nurses transport Justin to the emergency room.
Steven stood on the other end of the hallway in a daze as he watched Justin, pale as a sheet with blood staining the corner of his mouth, get wheeled through to the emergency room.
How did this suddenly happen?
Was this another one of his tricks to gain pity?
But Justin had been fine when he brought Bella back from Mount Jaglee to the hospital. It was only when he got here that he collapsed Justin looked like such a tall and tough man, so how had he just collapsed like that?
“M-Mr. Hoffman… Mr. Salvador won’t-” lan spoke tearily as he clenched his fists.
“He won’t.” Ryan watched as the light for the emergency treatment room lit up, his heart filled with panic, and his eyes bloodshot. “Justin will be fine. He’s the toughest, most stubborn, and bravest man I’ve ever known.
He’s definitely going to be okay.” r 2/7 Right then, one of Asher’s bodyguards walked up to Steven and bowed.
“Mr. Lovett, Mr. Thompson sent me to lead you upstairs.” “Alright.” Steven held a heavy heart as he turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and said to the bodyguard in a low voice, “Mr. Justin Salvador, president of Salvador Corporation, is undergoing emergency. treatment right now. Pass my words on and tell the dean of the hospital to get two of the most senior doctors to treat Mr. Salvador.” Bella slept until the next evening. She slowly opened her hazy eyes, feeling as if she had been fully recharged.
“Mm… Where am I…?” She could not muster any strength, and she felt as if she was about to fall apart.
“Bella! You’re awake! It’s me, Declan!” Declan shouted excitedly and threw himself onto the bed to hug her.
He had stayed up all night holding his little sister’s hand tightly, his eyes red and swollen from the countless times he had cried through the night.
“Declan…? Are you really back?” Bella’s eyes widened and slowly filled with tears, the tip of her nose turning red.
Declan nodded vigorously as he kissed his little sister’s forehead.
317 It was not as hot as it was before, and her fever had pretty much subsided.
Last night, the doctor said that it was lucky she had been sent to the hospital in time, or else it was very possible she would have gotten a lung, brain, or heart infection, which would have been complicated.
“What about your army posting? Wasn’t it important? How did you manage to get leave to come back?” Bella worried about Declan instead of worrying about herself.
“It is important, but no matter how important it is, my little sister always comes first.” “Declan…” Bella hugged her brother around the neck and pressed he cheek against his.
Declan had not seen his little sister in a very long time. She had lost a lot of weight since the last time he had seen her, and her gaze was not as bright as it used to be. His heart ached like countless needles were stabbing into his heart, and his throat burned.
“Oh, right. How did I get here?” Bella asked as Declan helped her sit up. She leaned weakly against the head of the bed.
Declan pursed his lips silently.
“Where’s Justin?” Bella’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she spoke, her voice a little hoarse.
“He came back with our helicopter. He’s alive and well, Bella. You don’t need to care about him.” Declan spoke coldly and dismissively.
But for some reason, Bella felt a terrible, inexplicable fear, and she asked anxiously, “Where is he?” Right then, the door to her hospital room opened.
Asher and Steven walked in, one after another, and they were overjoyed to see Bella awake.
“Ms. Bella!” 4/7 Steven was so delighted that he could not help but smile and tear up.
He was about to run over to Bella, but when he saw that Declan was present, he bowed slightly before walking over to kneel beside the bed on one knee.
“You must have been scared terribly last night, weren’t you, Steve…?” Bella was still very pale, but there was light in the beautiful eyes that curved up at him. “I’m sorry for being willful. But there was a life at stake, and I had no other choice then.” Steven gazed deeply at her, so choked up that he could not speak and only shook his head.
He had heard that Bella had nearly fallen off a cliff and shattered all the bones in her body.
It was Justin who had risked his own life to save her at the critical moment.
“Ms. Bella… There’s something I have to tell you.” Steven hesitated but still told her. “Justin Salvador has suffered very serious internal injuries and even coughed up blood.” “What?!”5/7 Bella suddenly sat up straight, her eyes widening as she unconsciously held her breath. “How did it happen?!” This piece of news obviously also came as a shock to Asher and Declan, and the two of them looked stunned.
“I heard from the attending doctor that he suffered a heavy blow to his back, which injured his internal organs and caused him to vomit blood,” Steven answered honestly.
He might detest Justin Salvador, but he was not so small-minded as to be jealous and conceal the truth.
Bella’s eyes widened as a memory came to mind.
She suddenly remembered that when Justin dragged her back from the edge of the cliff, he had hugged her tightly, rolled to the side to avoid the cliff’s collapse, and hit his back on a large rock.
But at the time, he had clearly said he was okay!
Liar!
Bella was both anxious and angry as her eyes reddened and she made to get out of bed.
Her action drove the three men who loved her dearly into a panic as they all hurried to stop this little troublemaker.
“Bella, what are you doing?! Are you going to look for Justin Salvador?!” Declan pressed her shoulder.
“This happened to him because of me! I can’t just sit back and do nothing!” Bella’s heart was in her throat, and she was very determined to go look for Justin.
“What are you going to see him for? He deserves whatever has happened to him. Who cares what happens to him now?!” “Declan, I-” Declan’s eyes seemed like they were about to burst into flames as he gripped her thin shoulders hard. “You’ve wasted thirteen years of your life on him. Can’t you stop caring about that bastard from now on?! I’m begging you… Please! Can’t you be selfish for once?!” “Dec…” Bella took a deep breath before saying softly, “I can be ruthless, but can’t be inhumane. There’s one thing even you guys can’t deny-if it hadn’t been for him, I might not even be alive right now.” In the end, Declan was unable to stop Bella.
She still inquired about the ward Justin was staying in and pushed on the door with Steven’s support.
But they were both stunned by what they found.
The hospital room was empty. Even the blankets had been folded neatly.
But Bella could still smell Justin’s unique scent in the air, and it wrapped tightly around her like an impermeable net.
“Excuse me, may I ask where the patient who was staying in this room is?” Bella called out to a nurse to ask.
“He was discharged in the afternoon.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 523-At Justin’s insistent request, Ryan and lan transferred him to another hospital.
Justin lay on the white hospital bed with an IV drip hooked up to him in the hospital room.
He had withered overnight. But his face was still so stunningly handsome that it made Ryan grit his teeth.
“You bastard. When you’re alive, you’re a menace to women. You’ll probably be a menace to female ghosts in the afterlife, too. Tsk, tsk, tsk… What a sinful man.” Ryan sat on the chair in the opposite direction, crossing his arms over the back of the chair as he gave Justin a playful look.
“How much salt have you eaten…? You’re being so salty.” Justin slowly opened his eyes, giving Ryan a sideways glance in annoyance. He was in so much pain that his breathing was uneven. “I coughed up two pounds of blood, but you’re making comments about my looks? I’ll always be more handsome than you are… Is there anything else you’re unhappy about?” “Oh, my. Look at you. I’m just teasing you to entertain you because you must be bored just lying there.” It was not that Ryan was not concerned about Justin’s health. It was just that he did not want to bring up any serious topics and felt that it was embarrassing for two adult men to be so emotional. “Rest assured, you won’t die. I’ve already gotten someone to find the country’s best internal medicine experts to treat you. I even 2/4 authorized them to use the machine, which costs $100,000 per use, to treat your lungs. If they’re still unable to treat you, I’ll go overseas to find someone to treat you. Anyway, I can pay for it. Money talks, so don’t be afraid that I won’t be able to buy you back from the Grim Reaper’s hands!” Justin frowned, thinking that Ryan was noisy.
“Even if you become completely paralyzed and can only move your eyeballs, it’s fine. I’ll bring you with me wherever I go and let you become my attaché! Anyway, you still have your bro even though you don’t have a wife anymore. As your bro, I definitely won’t abandon you!” Ryan patted his chest with pride.
Didn’t have a wife anymore?
Attaché?
Paralyzed?
Justin’s mouth twitched. No matter how he thought about it, he felt like that donkey was secretly shading, scolding, and cursing him.
“Zip your mouth shut now, and we can still be friends.” Ryan smiled sheepishly. He could not help but still feel a bit glum. Still, he mustered the energy to give Justin some encouragement. Justin, you’d better hang in there. If anything really happens to you, who will your granddad rely on? Not to mention, you won’t have any successors. Those devils that call themselves your family will probably devour everything you worked so hard for and your granddad while they’re at it!” ” 3/4 Justin felt his heart clench slightly.
Hé remembered that when he coughed up blood, it instantly seemed like all hope was gone.
Before his eyes, only two people’s faces appeared his grandfather and Bella Thompson.
Justin took a deep breath to calm himself and said quietly, “If I do have an untimely death, the position of president will eventually fall into my older brother’s hands. I took what was his in the first place. If it weren’t for his poor health, I wouldn’t have become the successor to Salvador Corporation.” “Cut that bullshit! What era are we living in where they still pass the throne” to the eldest son? We prioritize capability over seniority in this era. Even if your brother was healthy, your grandfather would have appointed you as the successor considering your talent and ability!” Ryan often watched historical dramas with his mother and binge- watched season after season.
Justin smiled faintly, feeling lucky to have such a happy-go-lucky friend in his dull life.
“But Justin, why did you insist on transferring hospitals? You only got hurt because of Bella!” Ryan’s butt did not leave the chair as he scooted forward two spaces up to Justin’s bed with his long legs. “It was such a good opportunity to interact with her! If I were you, not only would I not transfer hospitals, but I’d also run to her hospital room and put on a pitiful show. It would be best if I happened to cough up blood in her doorway too! How else would she know how much you did for her?
” Girls like bad boys, and they love it when boys have tragic circumstances, you know!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 524-“Protecting her is something I should do. I’ve never thought of taking credit or asking for anything in return.” Justin slowly closed his eyes as a dull pain pulsed in his chest. “It was what I owed her in the first place. Now, I’m just making up for the mistakes I made over the past three years.” “With your life?!” “With what, then? Money? Don’t you know the Thompsons’ circumstances?” Justin raised an eyebrow.
Ryan scratched his head. It was true. They were rich enough t his life.
Justin thought about Bella and how she looked extremely pale in his arms, and an uncontrollable pain rose from the bottom of his heart.
Had she woken up? Had her fever subsided? Were any of her bones fractured from hanging off the cliff for so long?
She was all he could think of.
Justin took a deep breath, and his hands clenched tightly in the bedsheets, suppressing an impulse that felt like it was about to leap out of his chest.
Had he fallen for her?
He must have.
Justin swallowed as his heart began to beat faster and he took deeper breaths. A blush colored his pale but handsome face.
“Huh? Justin, why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?” Ryan hurriedly reached over to feel Justin’s forehead, but Justin smacked his hand away in annoyance.
“Ouch! That hurt!” Ryan shook his hand off and chuckled. “That was a pretty strong slap. It looks like you’re doing fine. Your self-defense skills haven’t deteriorated.” Right then, there was an urgent knock on the door.
Before the two could respond, the hospital room’s door suddenly opened.
lan hurriedly walked in, bowed hastily, and opened his mouth.
But before he could speak, a clear and pleasant voice that held a sharp edge cut in from behind.
“Justin Salvador, you’re seriously injured. Why did you secretly transfer to a different hospital without telling me instead of staying put? What are you up to this time?!” With Steven’s help, Bella stormed into their view with great momentum, like a comet shattering the horizon.
2/3 She had taken a shower and changed into an aqua-blue dress, over which she was wearing a chic white cashmere sweater that made her skin glow. It felt like a refreshing spring had flowed into his heart with her appearance.
3/3 Bella raised her chin slightly, not looking unwell at all. The sound of her sharp stilettos signified her.
She glittered from head to toe as she gazed coldly at Justin.
It was as if the heart-wrenching kiss they shared while they were alone last night had not happened.
Justin pursed his dry lips tightly as he frowned, feeling unhappy.
“I’m talking to you. Are you mute now?” Although Bella was expressionless, she had been secretly observing his haggard face and felt even more angry because of this. He grew unhappier. “What are you trying to do by hiding your injurie from me? Are you trying to get my attention?” Ryan was a bit intimidated by Bella’s powerful stance. She was jus like a domineering queen.
This made Justin, who was leaning weakly against the bed and looking at Bella somewhat resentfully, look more like a poor husband who had been neglected by his busy wife.
Once this image set in, the originally tense situation suddenly became comedic.
Ryan snorted, unable to hold back, and then burst into laughter.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 525- Bella’s sharp gaze swept his way, and the “Prince of Savrow” immediately lowered his gaze and took a step back obediently, like a puppy.
lan hurriedly stepped forward. “Y-Young Madam…” “Who’s your young madam?” Bella frowned.
as “M-Ms. Thompson! Mr. Salvador transferred to a different hospital because he was afraid you would be worried after finding out injured and it would affect your recovery,” lan muttered timidly The young madam was no longer as gentle and docile as sh back when she lived with the Salvadors and had instead become domineering and covered in thorns. Every time he came face-to-fa with her, his heart thumped anxiously.
“Ha! Mr. Salvador is overthinking it. Who said I would be worried about him?” Bella sneered with a raised eyebrow.
“Then if you weren’t worried about Mr. Salvador, you wouldn’t have come after him so quickly, would you…?” lan looked up and mustered the courage to retort.
“You-!” Bella glared at him.
Justin’s eyelashes fluttered as he leaned against the bed, his lips silently curling.
lan was usually a bit dull and sometimes did not get the job done well, but right now, he had said exactly what he was thinking.
2/3 Justin could give lan a bonus.
Bella commanded coldly, “All of you, out.” “Ms. Bella…” There was a worried expression on Steven’s face as he opened his mouth, but he was interrupted before he could talk. “Steve, you go out as well.” The queen had spoken, and no one dared to disobey. The three men filed out of the room in a single file.
When the door closed, Bella walked up to Justin, still frowning dee in part anger and part worry.
“I’ve looked at your case history, and it was a very serious impact injury. If you’d been treated any later, you would have hemorrhaged and died.” “But I wasn’t treated any later, and I didn’t die.” Justin’s tone was calm, and his voice was husky. He met her eyes with a tender and deep gaze. “Bella, don’t forget that I’ve been on the battlefield. I’ve suffered all sorts of things and been injured in all sorts of ways. This is nothing.” Bella felt as if she had been scalded by his burning gaze. The memory of when they fought side by side and had each other’s back on the battlefields of Kridor came to mind.
No matter how unruffled she seemed, the moment she recalled those dangerous years she had spent advancing and retreating amidst gunfire, her heart would still surge uncontrollably and her palms would begin to sweat. Even her breathing would quicken.
3/3 “I’m very grateful to you for saving me, but you don’t have to go that far. You could have told me that you were injured, and I would have found a way to treat you. What were you thinking, hiding from me like this?” Bella gazed deeply at him, her voice trembling slightly.
“lan already mentioned the reason earlier,” Justin said lightly, not feeling like it was a big deal.
“It was your back, wasn’t it? Take off your gown and turn over.” Bella ignored Justin, her attitude remaining cold. “Hurry up. What are you being so shy for, big man? Do you think I’m going to take advantage of you?” Justin smiled bitterly. “No. If you wanted to, you would have done so three years ago.” “Hmph! I wanted to back then, but did you give me any opportunity to? You were so defensive against me, like I was a thief.” Bella instantly felt like she should not have said that, like she had just dug a hole for herself to fall into, and could not help but blush slightly.
Justin was stunned by this, and a rush of bitter regret immediately swelled in his heart. The atmosphere became awkward.
One by one, he unfastened the ties of his hospital gown and slid it off his upper body to reveal his manly, muscular body. The scars on his skin, however, were more eye-catching.
It was not that Bella had never seen Justin’s naked body before. She was just amazed at how well Justin maintained his figure.
She unconsciously swallowed before coldly ordering, “Lie down.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 526-The normally arrogant and rebellious Justin Salvador was currently very obedient, and he turned over like a well-trained puppy.
Bella was slightly surprised to see him so compliant. She pursed her lips.
His sturdy and broad back was bared to her without reservation.
Bella’s eyes widened when she saw the shockingly large bruise.
Although she tried to suppress her feelings, her heart could no but twinge in pain.
Justin thought she had been frightened when she remained silent wanted to turn around, but she held him in place with a strong gi “Don’t move. Let me take a good look at it.” “The doctor said it would fade as long as I tended to it well.” Justin’s voice was low and husky. He was the one who got injured, but it seemed more like he was comforting her.
“I don’t need you to tell me that. Do you think I’m blind?” Bella snapped grouchily.
Justin choked at this and sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I couldn’t tell you were so brave and had such a fiery temper and sharp tongue when we were married before.” “I was pretending to be someone else to please you back then.” Bella looked down as she lightly brushed her fingers across the scar on his back, checking the wound. She said coldly, “I thought that 2/4 things would change with time and that if I was attentive, gentle, and considerate, you would grow to love me one day. Later on, once I realized you were heartless, I decided to leave and did not have to pretend anymore. Now that I think about it, I was really foolish back then. It was so not worth it to put myself through all that for the sake of someone who would never love me back.” Justin’s breath hitched, and he tasted bitterness in his mouth.
At the time, he had been blinded by anger and refused to open his eyes.
The grievances and injustices he suffered in his childhood ma insecure and cling tightly to what he did have. He could accept losses, but he could not accept being abandoned.
Rather than saying he was attracted to Rosalind Gold, it was mor accurate to say he could not get over his inner demons.
“Bella…” “I’m done with this side. Turn around.” Bella patted his shoulder.
“The doctor’s already given me a check-up.” “I don’t trust anybody but myself. Turn around.” Bella had put on her metaphorical doctor’s coat. Her eyes were indifferent, as if she were desensitized to life and death.
Justin was a little bewildered, but he did as she said and turned around.
Their gazes met.
3/4 Bella’s heart thumped uncontrollably when she saw his rugged and sexy eight-pack abs.
He might be a bastard, but he did have a good body.
Sigh. She was probably defenseless against handsome faces in her past life.
Bella calmed herself and gently pressed along his legs, arms, and abdomen as she focused on examining him.
Justin gazed deeply at her. Something flickered in his eyes as his emotions began roiling intensely in his chest.
At this moment, he desperately wanted to confirm something “Luckily, you come from a military background and have a stu body than normal people do. You didn’t break any bones, but you shouldn’t neglect the bruise on your back. Aunt Mila’s pharmaceutica company recently developed a new ointment that works very well. I’ll ask her for some and get someone to deliver it to you.” Bella spoke expressionlessly as her fingers brushed over his ribs.
Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and gently pressed her warm palm to his chest.
Bella was stunned as her heart was thrown into chaos. “What are you doing?!” He had to be drugged out of his mind!
She could not tell in the heat of the moment whether she was being taken advantage of or whether she was taking advantage of Justin.
“Don’t you need to check this part too?” Justin looked straight at her, breathing a little heavier.
“No! Let go!” Panicked, Bella tugged hard.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 527-Unexpectedly, Justin was still astonishingly strong despite being seriously injured. His eyes darkened, and with a sudden tug, he pulled Bella onto him. The warmth of their bodies melded.
“Jus-!” Bella’s eyes misted up from panic and she had just opened her mouth to speak when a sudden kiss swallowed her words.
Justin’s moist lips slowly moved against her soft lips as he instar lost control, like a beast that had gotten a taste of the forbidden.
Bella was dizzy from the passionate kiss and could not help but moan softly.
Embarrassment, shame, and grievance were the intricate emotions that welled up in her.
All of a sudden, her eyes reddened, and she bit viciously into Justin’s lip.
He did not even grimace in response, and he allowed her to bite him.
Instead, he hugged her tighter.
The smell of blood wafted through the air.
1 Justin silently endured the pain she was inflicting on him with no intention of letting her go.
It was only when Bella was about to run out of breath that he reluctantly let her go.
2/3 They panted heavily, sweating.
Justin’s lower lip was a mess of blood from being bitten by Bella.
“Justin Salvador, don’t assume that you can do whatever you want just because you saved me!” Bella panted heavily, her cheeks flushed red, almost yelling at him.
“You said it yourself.” Justin looked at her deeply, rubbing a thumb over his bloody lip. “You said you’d return the favor as long as I didn’t ask for anything too excessive.” “Isn’t this excessive? Don’t you think this is too excessive?!” Bella’s tears started flowing.
She completely did not realize that she was crying as she lost her temper at Justin. “When will you let me go? Aren’t we divorced now?
Weren’t you the one who forced me to leave?! When will you stop tormenting me, you bastard?! I don’t love you anymore! You have no right to touch me!” “I regret it,” Justin said hoarsely as he suddenly teared up too.
But unlike Bella, he could not cry when he wanted to or laugh when he wanted to. He had no right to live freely or express his emotions at will.
For the past twenty years and more, he had suppressed and restrained himself so much that he no longer knew how to properly express what he was thinking and feeling.
3/3 “What did you say?” Bella was stunned, her eyes wide.
“Bella, I regret it.” Justin repeated himself softly but firmly. “I regret divorcing you and letting you go. Can you give me another chance to start over?” Give him another chance… To start over?
Where would they start over from?
Justin did not even remember everything that had happened between them in the past thirteen years. He did not even know that she had once been pregnant with his child but lost it, yet he wante over with her?
How dare he say that?
Bella’s bright eyes slowly darkened. There was not a trace of joy seen, like pearls losing their luster.
Justin felt his heart clench in anxiety when he saw her expression cool, and his blood gradually turned to ice.
“Justin, it’s over between us. Do you understand what that means? It means there’s no future for us.” Bella was teary, but this did not stop her from speaking mercilessly.” We weren’t even a real couple in the first place. From the moment we got married to the moment of divorce, we had so many hurdles every step of the way. It was a mistake in every aspect. My father once told me that true love is smooth sailing.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 528-“The only reason we even managed to get married for three short years was because I kept trampling on my own dignity to cling to you.
I’ve put in a lot of one-sided effort to keep things going. What is there to cherish in this fragmented relationship? Why would I give you a chance to start over? Why would I do something so stupid?” Bella’s words were like sharp knives. Each met its mark and drew blood.
Justin did not want to lose her and tried to take her hand again.
But this time, she did not give him the chance to. She nimbly dodged him, and he missed embarrassingly.
“I swear I won’t anymore.” Justin panted heavily. His voice was very hoarse. “I won’t be stupid anymore, Bella. Just this once. You don’t even have to do anything.
You just have to stay where you are. It’s my turn to chase after you.” Bella’s heart was beating as fast as a rabbit’s, as if she had just ridden a roller coaster.
Her palms were sweating, and she was breathing erratically.
“Chase after me? Didn’t you previously say that I was a shameless and cunning woman? I’m not a delicate, little, pure, and innocent girl like Rosalind Gold. How could you ever be interested in me?” Bella sniffed and sneered proudly. “And besides, I’m not the same Anna Brown you used to control so easily anymore. Many people want a chance with me. Do you think you can compare to any of them? You’re a scumbag who’s been blacklisted in my book!” “Bella, I really am-” “Stop. I don’t want to hear it.” 2/4 Bella covered her ears with her hands and turned around to walk quickly towards the door, like she was escaping. “I’ll ignore everything you said today as nonsense because you were concussed. I’ll treat you because I don’t want to owe you anything. Once you’ve recovered, we’ll have nothing to do with each other anymore!” With a loud bang, the door slammed shut.
Justin’s eyes were bloodshot, and the hand he had reached out to take hers earlier was frozen in mid-air. It trembled slightly, then slowly lowered.
“I really am in love with you, Bella.” After leaving Justin’s ward, Bella did not go straight home. Instead, she met with lan to learn about Justin’s condition and took his examination report and medical records with her.
She intended to study them carefully at home.
When she gave Justin a comprehensive examination earlier, she realized he was not in good condition. His injury was serious and could have long-term effects if not treated correctly.
The Rolls-Royce sped toward Hatchbay.
In the car, Steven was driving, while Declan sat in the passenger seat.
Asher sat in the back seat with an arm around Bella.
Bella clutched Justin’s hospital records and sighed repeatedly as she leaned against her brother’s shoulder.
It was obvious she was not in a good mood.
“What’s wrong, Bella? You don’t seem to be in a good mood.” Asher turned and touched her soft cheek. “Is Justin Salvador going to die?” Bella remained silent.
Declan looked back and cut in with a frown. “Bella, that’s a go thing. What are you feeling so depressed about?” Bella still remained silent.
“Dec, have you forgotten what she’s like? She’s a kind-hearted person who knows how to repay favors. Justin got injured this time because he saved her. If something really happened to him, how would she ever get over it?” Asher sighed softly.
Declan was still furious, but he could not say anything to refute that.
“Justin was seriously injured, but he was treated in time. His life isn’t in danger.” Bella finally spoke.
“That’s good, then.” Asher asked in confusion, “If that’s the case, why are you feeling so blue?” “It’s not a big deal.” Bella paused, then said softly, “Justin said he was going to chase after me…” 4/4
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 529-The car instantly fell silent.
The three men’s eyes widened in unison. Even Steven, who was driving, looked dumbfounded and almost let go of the steering wheel.
“What did you say, Bella?” Even Asher, who was usually calm and steady in the face of everything, was stunned by this.
“Justin said that he regretted divorcing me and asked me to give him another chance. This time, it’s his turn to chase after me.” Bella looked up at Asher. “Ash, what does he mean by that confessing his feelings to me?” “No shit!” Declan and Steven instantly replied in unison, as if the were sharing the same brain cell. “Bah! How shameless!” Asher blinked and frowned slightly.
“Ash, do you believe it? The man who once tore our future to shreds with his own hands is now saying that he wants to pursue me. He said it so confidently and sincerely.” Bella smiled bitterly.
In the past, she would have cried tears of joy.
But now, more than anything else, she felt sad.
It was like she wanted a doll very badly when she was young but never got to have it. Even when she was given a better and more expensive one after she grew up, she did not like it anymore.
Besides, why would Justin want to pursue her?
2/3 She used to be so good to him, but he never thought anything of it.
Nów, she clashed with him and humiliated him at every turn, so why did he fall for her?
“Too little, too late! Justin Salvador’s confession is like dog shit!” Declan spoke furiously through gritted teeth.
“Exactly. What was he thinking?” Steven muttered in agreement as he clenched the steering wheel tightly.
“Bella, back when you were married to him, remember how he treated you when you devoted yourself to him and gave him your and soul? You haven’t forgotten how much it hurt just becau past now, have you? Now that you’re a wealthy heiress lov and he’s seen how amazing you are at your peak and how tons of people fall at your feet, he feels unconvinced. That’s unwilling to give up. He thinks that he must have been blind, wants to get you back and continue hiding you from the world to satisfy his filthy male ego. I’m a man too, so I know exactly what he thinking!” Declan’s handsome face was red with anger as he indignantly complained about Jerkface Justin.
“I don’t think it’s ego.” BeBella scowled. “But I think you’re right that he probably thinks that Bogomething about me now is more charming and more interesting hthan before. After all, he only became impressed with me after I eregained my identity as Wyatt Thompson’s daughter.” HalMen are all vulgar creatures who seek novelty and excitement.” Steveven could not bear it anymore and said angrily, “He got sick of the 3/3 innocent daddy’s little girl type like Rosalind Gold, and now he prefers someone like you, Ms. Bella. It just means he wants to try a new flavor. It’s like changing his preference from liking shit to liking durian. Today, he says he wants to pursue you, but tomorrow, he could turn around and pursue some other woman.” Declan agreed. “That’s right! Once a cheater, always a cheater!” Bella raised an eyebrow. “I know who you mean by shit-that’s Rosalind Gold. But explain to me who the durian is supposed to be.” Steven coughed awkwardly. “Ms. Bella, it was just a metaphor…” “There’s nothing wrong with a durian. It’s quite cute, and it’s the king of fruits. It suits our dear Bella.” Asher cut in with a calm smile.
“But a durian is covered in thorns, and it stinks!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 530-“But it’s soft on the inside and tastes sweet.” Asher smiled as he tapped Bella’s nose with a finger. “It’s quite similar to our baby sister.” “Hmph!” Bella turned away in feigned anger, looking playfully cute.
“Bella, you can’t fall for Jerkface Justin’s tricks again, no matter what! All men are trash!” Declan was deeply afraid his baby sister would fall for that bastard again, so he advised her earnestly.
“Except me, Mr. Declan.” Steven stood up for himself weakly.
“And me.” Asher immediately declared.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah… Us Thompsons definitely aren’t that bad.” Declan hurriedly backtracked.
“Hmm. I don’t think that applies to all of us. There’s always that one old fellow who drags us down.” Bella crossed her long and fair legs as she joked.
The three men looked at each other as a name floated to the forefront of their minds in unison-Wyatt Thompson!
“I don’t want to!” When Mila heard that Bella wanted her to help Justin out, she was so angry that she saw red.
2/3 Mila, who was usually very agreeable to Bella’s wishes, firmly rejected her request to treat Justin.
“Aunt Mila, hear me out…” Bella said helplessly.
“There’s nothing to be said.” Mila waved a hand and said coldly, “I remember every detail of how Justin Salvador treated you in the past. And it’s not just me, either. Celeste and Sasha definitely remember it too. Isn’t that bastard the oh -so-powerful president of Salvador Corporation? Let them think of something on their own!”.
“Aunt Mila…” “Oh, right. Doesn’t he have lots of girls fluttering around him? Shouldn’t they be here, crying and sobbing, to beg us to help their beloved Justin? What are they waiting for?” Aunt Mila scoffed, wishing she could rip Justin to shreds.
“Aunt Mila, Justin is a vile man, but this time, he saved me.” Bella took Mila’s hand and sat on the sofa. Her chiding words made Bella seem more like an elder than Mila was.
Mila frowned. “What do you mean?” Bella told Mila the whole story of how she ran into danger on Mount Jaglee to save someone and how she was saved by Justin, who got hurt in the course of saving her.
Mila was so scared upon hearing the tale that her hands turned cold in Bella’s grip.
“Bella! Oh, you! If I’d given birth to you, I’d be grounding you and giving you a good spanking! You’re much too bold!” 3/3 “Only Asher, Declan, and Steve know about this. Wyatt doesn’t know.” Bella put a finger to her lips and lowered her voice. “You have to keep this a secret for me. I’m scared his blood pressure will go up if he.
finds out.” “I really don’t feel like keeping any more secrets for you. In the past thirteen years of your involvement with Justin Salvador, we’ve helped you keep so many things a secret we could fill out a whole folder!” Mila lightly poked Bella’s forehead in frustration. “I should tell your dad about this so that he can keep you in check!” “It’s no use, even if you tell him. If Wyatt could keep me in check, he would have done so long ago!” Bella giggled with a smug little grin.
After another round of earnest persuasion, Mila was so fed up with Bella’s pestering that she finally agreed.
