Ch. 561..570
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 561-Bella said, “Thirteen years ago, I was never good to myself because of Justin. Now that we are separated, I won’t fall in love with anyone.
anymore. I won’t make the same mistake again. I need to move.
forward with my life.” Roza sighed tearfully.
She could sense how deep of a cut Justin had left on Bella. Her wound would not heal so easily.
“That’s right. We should move forward! Romance is not for the wise.” Roza patted Bella’s back and said cheekily, “We should go out for drinks tonight. I want to learn about your heartbreaking love story over alcohol.” “My love story is the worst rom-com ever. It’s cringey to talk about it.” Casting the sadness away, Bella grinned wickedly and lifted Roza’s chin with a finger. “You, on the other hand, have the hots for all hotties. Any new romance to share?” “I’m not dating anyone. I’m either making or designing clothes. I guess clothes will be my companion.” Roza scoffed. “Hot guys are eye candies, but that’s all they are. They’re airheads. Those models and celebrities I fancied before weren’t worth my time. They showed their true colors, asking for branded watches and fancy cars after buttering me up for a few days.
I’m a sucker for good looks, but man, I’m no fool.” “Haha!” Bella burst out laughing. “I guess we are jerk magnets. Don’t worry, Roza. I won’t let you go through what I did. If you’re interested in dating, I’ll introduce you to a few men.” “A few? God, you’re a busy woman. Where do you find good men?” “I was born into a family of good men.” Bella patted her chest proudly. “My brothers are single. Once I show you their profiles, you can pick and choose whoever you like. I’ll introduce you to him.” Roza did not know what to feel. “I know you’re trying to play matchmaker, but it feels like I’m choosing a male escort.” “My brothers have more to offer than male escorts.” Bella winked cheekily. “I could introduce you to Axel. He’s handsome and well-spoken. I’m sure he can please you better than a male escort.” “Really? What does he do for a living if he’s articulate?” Roza’s eyes lit up at the mention of a hottie.
“He’s a public prosecutor.” Roza replied, “Thanks, I guess…” Justin’s eyes were dopey when he wandered out of the villa. His mind.
was preoccupied with the kiss he shared with Bella earlier.
“Mr. Salvador.” lan shivered in the cold outside. With Justin exiting the premises, lan went up to him.
Upon a closer look, lan noticed Justin’s sparkling eyes, blushed cheeks, and glossy lips under the soft glow of the sunset.
lan’s throat went dry as he turned red in the face.
Judging by the smutty look on Justin’s face, he must have done. something with Bella.
“Mr. Salvador, your face- “Oh, Bella hit me.” Justin reached to touch his face with a smile.
“Huh? Why did the young madam hit you?” lan was shocked.
Justin’s mind wandered back to Bella, who melted in his arms.
because of the kiss. His heart beat out of his chest, and his lips curled into a smile as he could not get enough of her.
“Because she cares about me.” The birthday celebration was three days away.
Despite all her efforts, Shannon received some devastating news.
Sharon would never design a dress for her. Ever.
“The staff of Sharon’s studio said that Sharon will not design a dress for you no matter how much you offer.” Bethany relayed the news to Shannon with apprehension.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 562-Shannon’s eyes bulged as she asked, “Why?” “I think it’s in your best interest not to ask about the details, Mom.” Bethany found it hard to approach the subject.
“Quit stammering. Just tell me.” Bethany shuddered, bit the bullet, and said, “Word from Sharon is that she will never dress a questionable and scandalous individual in her clothes. She doesn’t want to damage her own reputation.” She tried her best to word her sentence diplomatically because Sharon said the worst things.
Shannon’s pride as the wife of a corporation chairman held no weight..
“Damn it. That’s outrageous.” Flying into a rage, Shannon shoved the expensive cosmetic products. off the vanity dresser. “It’s just a stupid dress. Who does she think she is? I can still beat Celeste any time of the day, even without a dress from Sharon.” Silence befell the room.
“D-Dad?” Bethany was thrown off by Gregory’s presence at the door.
Shannon turned back and saw her partner looking glum. She cried out coyly in a fluster. “Greg, are you back from your business trip? When did you get back? Why-”214 “What’s all this about now? Why did you trash the room?” Gregory glanced at the mess and asked with a frown.
“I asked Sharon, a top designer, to design a birthday gown for me, but she wouldn’t do it, and that would be the end of it. However, she insulted me. How was I supposed to let it go?” Shannon ran and hugged Gregory in tears. Even Bethany was impressed by the depth and versatility of her mother’s advances.
“Greg, I’m your wife. I represent you and Salvador Corporation. Sharon is basically putting you and the company down through me. You must stand up for me and get her canceled. Show her the consequences of upsetting your woman.” “Get her canceled? She’s a designer with international fame. I doubt I have any influence outside the city.” Gregory’s tone was stiff.
In the past, Gregory often found Shannon’s little tantrums adorable, and he would do anything for her.
Lately, Shannon has caused many irreversible troubles. It had not been long since the last incident, and she was at it again. Gregory felt that Shannon had not been sensible or lived up to his expectations as the wife of a corporation president.
“I… I…” Shannon had nothing to say about herself. She was angry and hurt.
“Give us some room, Bethany. I need a word with your mother.” “Sure, Dad.” Bethany slipped out.
She found her mother unpredictable and hard to approach now.
Bethany wondered if Shannon was experiencing a mid-life crisis.
Once the door was closed, Shannon pulled herself together and murmured, “Did you have time to review the guest list I sent you, Greg?” “Here’s a question for you, Shannon. Why did you move the birthday. party to the weekend instead of keeping it to the date of your actual birthday?” Gregory was not too pleased to learn the news while abroad. “You should know that Wyatt’s third wife is having a birthday celebration on the same day. You insist on having yours on that day to one-up her, right?” Shannon bit her lip.
“Since you’re not saying anything, I assume that I’m right.” Gregory gently pushed her away, feeling baffled by the whole thing.
The bad blood between you two happened more than two decades ago. You have retired from the public eye, and the past is long.
forgotten. Why are you trying to best her? Are you trying to start something by reminding the public about the miserable past?
“What does the miserable past have to do with me?” With a menacing look, Shannon burst out laughing. “Celeste was the one humiliated and shamed. I’m just trying to remind everybody of the star I once was.” “You’re being unreasonable.” “Unreasonable? Am I being unreasonable, or are you feeling guilty, Greg?” Shannon’s resentment was reflected in her bloodshot eyes.
“What are you saying?” Gregory scowled.
“I bet you still favor Celeste. Rumors that you two were dating were all over the papers twenty years ago.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 563-Gregory asked sternly, “What the hell are you talking about? Why would I have anything to do with Wyatt’s woman?” “It happened before you knew me. You were the shareholder of TS Gem Channel when Celeste found fame. Rumors that Celeste was your lover spread like wildfire, and paparazzi caught you with Celeste. Are you denying you were ever involved with her?” Livid, Shannon had to bring the incident up. The thought of Celeste sent a rush of blood to her head.
Shannon picked Gregory not just because he was the successor to Salvador Corporation. Back then, word went around that Celeste’s man was Gregory.
She vowed to take anything and everything that was Celeste’s Whatever Shannon could not take from Celeste, she would de Gregory furrowed his brows as rage slowly burned in him. “Nothi going on between me and Celeste.” Stung by his grimacing gaze, Shannon became timid.
“If I were really involved with Celeste, do you think I would have.
married you instead of her? I’m not the type to keep a mistress or let someone else marry my woman.” Shannon felt suffocated.
It did not seem like there was a problem with what Gregory said.
However, Shannon was upset.
It sounded as if she was Gregory’s second choice.
“So you did have feelings for her, and you have not moved on, am I right?” Shannon shook Gregory’s arm and asked tearfully, “Greg, that woman is a bitch. She was seeing many other men in showbiz. She was caught with drugs too, which caused her career downfall. No man would be caught dead with her in fear of being seen in a bad light. All she can ever be is a mistress to Wyatt.” The comment somehow did not sit well with Gregory.
Gregory knew Celeste before Shannon.
At the time, Celeste was better known for her fame, looks, and acting prowess than Shannon.
In Gregory’s mind, Celeste was not as intolerable as Shannon put her to be. Even though Celeste’s drug test came out positive and she had to quit showbiz due to her damaged reputation, Gregory believed Celeste was framed. He never once looked down on her. I know the type of person Celeste is. Besides, if she was really that shady, do you think Wyatt would marry her in the first place?” Gregory’s facial muscles tensed. “I felt sorry for Celeste because she was ostracized and bullied. Yet she kept things to herself. As one of the shareholders and owners, I had a responsibility to take care of TS Gem’s promising artists. I don’t understand why you’re bringing out a rumor that happened twenty years ago, I only married you because you were understanding and tolerant of me. If you carry on talking nonsense, I will only think that you aren’t the person I thought you were. It makes me question my decision to marry you.” Shannon’s eyes widened as she grimaced.
Gregory’s words devastated her.
“After all we went through, Greg. Despite the public scorn, I bore your child and stood by your side without asking for marriage. How could you think that of me?” Gregory felt bad when Shannon started crying inconsolably. He sighed and patted her trembling back.
“Don’t cry. I was harsh. Don’t take it to heart.” It would usually take some time to soothe Shannon, but she knew when to call it quits.
Hiding the anger behind her eyes, she held Gregory and softened in his embrace. “Don’t be mad at me, Greg. I just care and love you too much. I’m scared of you leaving me Shannon puckered up her tear-soaked lips..
Gregory was drained, and long-awaited desire soon swept over him.
Shannon grabbed the man’s tie and removed her pajamas as they kissed and backed into the bed.
Something else was going on in one of Savrow’s villas.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 564-Due to the chilly weather, Bella stopped taking her kayak out to the back of the villa. However, she remained disciplined in keeping up with her workout regime.
Bella, dressed in skin-tight pink athletic wear, sprinted on the treadmill. Her face was flushed as she sweated profusely.
Steven held a towel and bottle of water ready for Bella. He reported softly, “I compared the guest lists released by Chairman Thompson.
and Gregory and found that at least 50% of the names are on both.” Bella remained indifferent. “That’s to be expected.” “I’m still a little worried.” Steven voiced his concern. “Madam Celeste is having the birthday celebration at the KS World Hotel, while Shannon is having hers at the Salvador Hotel. Once again, both companies are at odds.” “Get your facts right. Who would want to be associated with Salvador Corporation’s wicked witch? She’s shameless to have her birthday on the same day as Aunt Celeste.” Bella had the breath to ridicule Shannon, even though she was running. Shannon is the one looking for trouble, but we’re having the party in Savrow, not Hatchbay. I’m afraid=” “Are you afraid that the guests would extend the courtesy to Gregory and not Wyatt, since Gregory was born and bred in Savrow?” “Nothing goes past you, Ms. Bella.” Steven flattered Bella.
“You always worry over nothing.” Bella got off the treadmill. Seeing that she was drenched in sweat, Steven held the towel up to dry her sweat.
She snatched the towel from him and said, “I’ll do it.” Steven pursed his lips.
He had a feeling that Bella had become distant.
Even though he had admitted his feelings to her, they had talked things through. He expected nothing from her, but he could feel their relationship regressing.
“The Iversons are on the guest list. Not only that, I dropped an invitation to Ryan, and he was over the moon. He agreed to decline.
the invitation to the Salvadors’ party and attend Aunt Celeste’s instead.” Bella shifted her gaze away from Steven’s dejected face and wiped her sweat. “The Iversons and Hoffmans are attending our event, and they are important people. Those who can’t decide will soon know who to pick. The era of Salvador Corporation and the Iverson Group dominating the business world is over because KS Group will stand in their way once I become the CEO. The Thompsons and the Iversons.
have a long-standing relationship, and Ryan supports me. I wonder if the undecisive will still accommodate Gregory’s invitation.” Steven nodded. “That’s true.” Bella took the bottle of water and sipped on the straw. She did not even look at Steven the whole time.
“Ms. Bella.” Steven called out to her in a sad voice and asked cautiously, “Have I done something wrong?” Bella shied away from his gaze. “Huh? No.” “I did. I know I did.” Steven’s face was flushed with panic. “What did I do wrong, Ms. Bella? Tell me, and I’ll change.” “You have done nothing wrong, Steve. I just think that you’re nearly 30. Your world doesn’t revolve around me. You should have your own life and find time to date someone.” “Ms. Bella…” “My sister, Amelia, has always been close to you, and you guys still get along fine. I can tell that you like her too.” Bella was sincere in setting them up. “Why don’t you two try dating?
Don’t stress out about it, though. You come from a good family, and Wyatt considers you a godson. No one will stop you from being together with Amelia. In fact, we can’t be happier.” “I appreciate the thought, Ms. Bella.” Steven’s heart raced, but his tone was firm. “I’m nice to Ms. Amelia because she’s your sister and Chairman Thompson’s daughter. It’s my duty to serve her too. Plus, we grew up together. She’s like a sister to me.” — That night, Justin finished his work and returned to Tideview Manor.
The temperature dropped rapidly in the last two days. It would not be long before they welcomed snow.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 565-Justin fought back the urge to cough the whole way home. The moment he set foot in the entrance, a hacking cough escaped his throat.
“Young Master!” Wilma rushed over and was horrified to find Justin coughing his lungs out. “Young Master Justin, what happened to you? Why are you coughing so badly? Did you catch a cold?” “I’m fine, Wilma. Get me a glass of water,” Justin said indifferently, clearly not telling Wilma that he was injured.
“But… But you don’t look fine.” Wilma looked worried. “Maybe we should get the family doctor to check on you.” “I’m fine, really. I’ll be good after taking some meds.” Justin smiled with assurance.
“Young Master Justin, the chairman wants you in his study. He wants a word with you,” the butler conveyed the message.
Justin stepped into the study and frowned.
Gregory and Shannon sat on the sofa in matching pajamas. Shannon, with her face flushed and her hair unkempt, lay in Gregory’s embrace.
She would kiss her husband’s cheeks every now and then.
Justin turned around to leave because they made him sick.
“Alright now. Justin is still here.” Gregory told Shannon off, not wanting to be lovey-dovey in front of his son.
“We can continue later.” Shannon made circles on the man’s chest with her finger flirtatiously.
The romance was not dead in the bedroom, for sure.
“You wanted to see me?” Unable to stand it anymore, Justin asked with a grimace.
“Your mother’s birthday celebration is this weekend. How are the preparations?” Gregory asked.
“My mother’s birthday celebration?” Justin smirked. “I have always spent my mother’s birthday with her at the cemetery. You have never once celebrated or visited her. Why are you so nice to ask this time?” Gregory was stumped for words. His expression was stunned.
“If you’re asking about Aunt Shannon’s birthday, then pardon me.
That’s not my business. I have done nothing.” The joy in Justin’s eyes disappeared. “Aunt Shannon is your wife and Bethany’s mother. She has two people in her corner to organize the event. I don’t think an outsider should get involved.” The word “outsider” got on Gregory’s nerves.
“Aren’t you a Salvador? Thanks to the family, you were raised in privilege and became the president of Salvador Corporation. What more do you want?” Shannon rested her body weight on her husband, hiding the malice in her eyes.
“Is there anything else? If there’s none, I should go back to my room.” Before, Justin would probably try to argue.
Now, he lost the will to talk some sense into his dumb father who was played by Shannon and Bethany.
“I’m not done, Justin. Get back here!” Gregory jolted to his feet and yelled, nearly knocking Shannon off the sofa.
“That reminds me. I forgot to let you know.” Justin stopped without looking back, his tall build standing erect. “I won’t be attending Aunt Shannon’s birthday party.” Shannon scowled.
“What do you mean?” Gregory was shocked. “If you’re not going to attend the family event, are you attending the Thompsons”?” “Sure. Why not?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 566-Sure.
Why not?
The casual sequence of words enraged Gregory and Shannon so badly that they nearly started foaming at the mouth.
Shannon glared hatefully at Justin’s indifferent face, hiding behind Gregory like a ghost, her eyes full of viciousness.
“Justin Salvador! Have you forgotten who you are?!” Gregory roared, trembling with anger.
“Thank you for taking the trouble to remind me time and time again. My last name is Salvador, and I’m your son.” Justin smiled flippantly and sarcastically. “I would’ve forgotten it hadn’t reminded me.” “You rebellious scoundrel!” Gregory’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was dizzy with anger as he shook a finger in Justin’s face. “I’ll ask you one last time. You’re set.
on accepting the Thompsons’ invitation this weekend, are you?!” “Oh, Justin, how could you be so foolish?” Shannon felt like the time was about right to cut in and put on the face of a benevolent mother trying to keep the peace. “My birthday celebration isn’t important, but you know your father doesn’t get along with Wyatt Thompson. Bella Thompson has also been creating trouble for us time and time again. How could you turn your back on us at this critical juncture? If you, the president of Salvador Corporation, don’t show up, won’t you be openly snubbing your dad?!” “Madam Shannon Quarry.” Justin spoke coldly as he looked at her darkly. “If your birthday celebration isn’t important, then don’t hold one. You, your daughter, and your relatives don’t work for the benefit of the company. You abuse your power and have caused countless scandals for the company, which has put the company under scrutiny and affected the company’s profits. You’re infamous in Savrow. But instead of keeping a low profile right now, you’re celebrating your birthday in a flashy manner. Ha! Do you think the people are idiots or that the internet doesn’t remember?” “Y-you-!” Shannon’s eyes turned red, and her hands clenched into fists.
Gregory was originally biased toward Shannon, but he wavered when he heard this.
Justin continued to say, “Just because the chairman is willing to act. like a loving couple and play house with you doesn’t mean you should expect everyone to cater to your vanity. Just be grateful for whatever little you have.” ‘Ah!!!’ Shannon was so furious that her ears were ringing, and she nearly fainted from anger.
“What did you say?! Are you insulting your father?!” Gregory did not even pay attention to Shannon, only thinking that he had been mocked by his own son. He felt a stuffy feeling in his chest.
“Butler! Where are you?!” Gregory usually appeared elegant and profound before others and rarely got so angry.
This time, not only did Justin openly take the side of Wyatt Thompson’s daughter, but Justin was also obviously challenging his authority and secretly accusing him of being a clueless person who abetted a wrongdoer.
Justin was crossing the line.
“I’m here, Chairman Salvador.” The butler hurriedly walked in, trembling.
Justin’s expression remained unchanged, and there was even a hint of disdain in his cold eyes.
This added fuel to the angry fire burning in Gregory’s heart.
“Bring me the cane. Quickly!” “Huh…?!” The butler was shocked.
The last time Justin had gotten a beating was almost twenty yea ago.
Back then, Justin had a heated argument with Gregory because of his mother’s death. At the time, Justin was filled with anger and hatred.
He wanted to rush up to his father and beat him up.
In the end, Gregory whipped Justin to the point that no part of his body was left unmarked.
Although Nigel had rushed over as soon as he could, Justin had still been beaten until he went into shock and had to be rushed to the hospital.
Was that brutal incident going to repeat itself?!
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the cane!” Gregory roared as he glared at the expressionless Justin.
Gregory felt that this rebellious son of his was still silently challenging his authority as the head of the family.
“Yes, Chairman!” Shannon was furious, but when she saw that Gregory would punish this bastard, she instantly felt much better.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 567-Shannon thought, ‘Go ahead and beat Justin to death! At least then, I can vent my anger!’ Almost all of Tideview Manor’s employees were gathered in the villa’s first-floor hall and stood in neat rows.
When Bethany heard Justin was going to get a beating, she was so happy that she nearly broke out into a dance and even went to look for the little sister she nearly forgot existed, Carrie Salvador.
“Hey, idiot!” Bethany kicked the door of Carrie’s room open. Carrie had been drawing and dropped her pencil in shock.
“W-What’s the matter, B-Bethany?” “Aren’t you going to go downstairs to watch the show? Justin’s ab to get a beating! Hahahahahaha!” Bethany threw her head back in.
wild laughter.
“Justin?! Why?!” Carrie panicked.
“Why? Because he was too bold and dared to talk back to our esteemed father!” Bethany smiled gloatingly. “Hmph! He really doesn’t know what’s good for him. Does he think he’s all that just because he’s the president of Salvador Corporation? He should have considered it carefully. If it weren’t for our eldest brother’s poor health, would Justin even be sitting in that position today? And if it weren’t for Daddy taking pity on Justin for his mother dying young, he would’ve been sent to the overseas branch long ago! He wouldn’t be enjoying his position today. What an unappreciative fool!” No matter how often Carrie was called an idiot, she was not really one. She could tell that Bethany was looking down on and mocking Justin.
She felt indignant. Gathering her courage, she retorted timidly, “Justin isn’t like that… You and Mom must have teamed up to bully Justin.” “You stupid idiot! What did you say?!” When Carrie saw Bethany lunge at her with wild eyes like a mad dog, she shut her eyes tightly in fear and reflexively covered her head with her arms.
“Ms. Bethany.” Right then, the female helper who usually cared for Carrie walked in and anxiously said, “Chairman Salvador wants you and Ms. Carrie to go downstairs right now.” Upon hearing this, Bethany put down the arm she had raised high above her head and said with resentment, “Got it.” She turned to leave in a huff.
“Ms. Carrie, are you alright?!” The female helper rushed over to Carrie, sweating. She felt so bad for Carrie when she saw how pale she was.
“I’m fine. Thank you, Linny. If you hadn’t made it in time…” Carrie’s clear, doe-like eyes teared up halfway through her sentence, and she trailed off, not daring to continue.
1 “Ms. Carrie… Oh, look at you!” Linny took Carrie’s ice-cold hand, her gaze full of heartache. She pushed up Carrie’s sleeve, only to see bruises covering Carrie’s arms. Her tears were about to fall from her face as she said, “Ms. Bethany has bullied you so badly that there isn’t an unmarked spot on your body! Things can’t go on like this. Please tell Chairman Salvador about this. Even if Madam Shannon doesn’t take it seriously, Chairman Salvador is your father. He won’t just ignore it!” Carrie hurriedly retracted her hand and hung her head in thought for a few seconds before saying softly, “You should head down first. Dad has called for me, so I’ll head down in a bit.” Linny sighed helplessly and had no choice but to leave.
Once the door closed, Carrie immediately dug out her phone and pulled up Bella’s phone number in a practiced manner.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she finally mustered up the courage to call Bella.
The call quickly connected, and a gentle voice came through. “Carrie, what made you think of calling me? Do you need help with something?” When Carrie heard Bella’s familiar voice, she choked up.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, her crystalline tears welled over her reddened eyes.
“Carrie? Carrie? What happened? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Bella’s voice was filled with worry.
“Annie… Justin’s being bullied.” Bella was puzzled by this. Thinking that Carrie was exaggerating, she joked, “Justin Salvador is being bullied? Who in this world can bully him? He could rip off someone’s head and kick it around as a ball!” “My mother and father are teaming up to bully him. My father is going to discipline him. They’re going to give Justin a beating!” Carrie was panicking as she paced her room in circles.
“Discipline?” Bella was stunned.
“Annie! Please Please save Justin! My father is about to start beating him soon. What if he kills Justin?!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 568-Gregory had called pretty much everyone who could be called away from their posts to gather around the hall.
They surrounded Justin, who stood at the center, placing him in full view of everyone.
Justin had already taken off his coat and was only wearing a thin white shirt. The sight of his strong arms and his muscled body underneath it made onlookers envious, and their hearts skipped a beat with the sheer masculinity he exuded.
Gregory was doing this to hurt Justin’s pride and make him feel embarrassed.
But he did not expect Justin to stand there proudly without sayin word. It was Justin’s complete victory, even though he had not do anything.
The female employees covered their mouths as they blushed in excitement, almost unable to resist squealing.
Honestly, Justin was still stunningly handsome even when he was being punished. His image was not affected at all.
When Gregory saw that his son had no intention of admitting defeat.
or that he was wrong, he cracked his whip viciously and hit the ground with a loud crack, which struck fear into everyone’s hearts.
“Kneel!” Justin’s eyes flashed with a fierce, rebellious light as he laughed coldly. “Kneel? Do you think that’s possible?” “You-!” “I’m standing right here. If you want to whip me, just do it. Stop spouting nonsense.” Justin’s gaze was dark and cold, but calm.
This was how it had always been. The Salvador family’s rules of discipline had been passed down from their ancestors.
Even Nigel had suffered his father’s beating while surrounded by the family’s helpers in his youth. This rule did not change for the next generation of Salvador men either.
Now, Justin was experiencing the rotten part of this rich family too.
He turned around with a cold expression.
Smack-!
Smack-!
Smack-!
Gregory glared at Nigel, cracking the whip with gritted teeth as he whipped Justin three times in a row with all his might.
“Ah! Young Master Justin is bleeding!” Someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.
Lines of striking red had appeared on Justin’s broad back. He was bleeding through his white shirt.
This was nothing less than medieval torture.
Shannon and Bethany were incredibly delighted. It was so satisfying that they almost wanted to grab some popcorn to enjoy the show with.
However, Justin’s expression remained unchanged, and his back did. not bend.
Even though he could feel his flesh had split open, even though each strike tugged at his old wounds and put him in so much pain that every nerve was trembling and he was on the verge of collapse, Justin still held on with sheer willpower.
“Do you admit that you were wrong? Do you?!” Gregory whipping him.
Was t “No, I do not.” Justin gritted his teeth and held his head high.
“You rebellious scoundrel!” Right as Gregory’s eyes reddened and he was about to whip Justin even harder, a clear and pleasant voice cut through the air, accompanied by the appearance of two familiar silhouettes.
“Stop!” Everyone turned to look at the door.
Justin was sweating profusely from the pain and was very pale. Even his vision was starting to blur.
But through his blurring vision, the sight of Bella’s gorgeous face. seemed to give him a shot of adrenaline. Even if he was on his last. breath, he could come back to life at this moment.
“Bella…” He saw Bella stride toward him quickly, getting closer.
Justin hesitated for a moment before his lips suddenly curled in an imperceptible smile. His eyes were half-closed as he fell toward Bella. “Justin!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 569-When Bella saw Justin fall toward her weakly, she reflexively spread her arms to catch him and held him tightly.
Suddenly, she felt a warm liquid on her palm, and her heart skipped a beat.
She slowly raised her hand and turned her palm over.
A shocking swath of blood entered her line of sight.
Bella realized that Justin’s broad back was covered with narrow vicious whip marks. His white shirt was already soaked and dyed red with blood.
Instantly, her eyes widened, and an uncontrollable rage overtook her as her eyes began to gleam with a cold, intimidating light.
“Are you okay, Justin?” “Are you worried about me?” Justin leaned firmly into her embrace, still sweating.
“Of course!” Bella blurted, unable to control her emotions.
Justin’s heart thumped loudly as he forcibly suppressed his joy, and he smiled softly. “Thank you, Bella.” “Shut up!” Bella was at the peak of her anger. There was fear in her eyes as she scolded him in a low voice, “You’re badly injured right now. Stop talking. I don’t want to hear your bleating!” Justin laughed bitterly as he said softly into her ear, “Okay.” Everyone was dumbfounded to see Bella Thompson appear out of nowhere.
Carrie, who was watching everything from a hidden corner, teared up when she saw Annie descend onto the scene like a goddess.
Shannon and Bethany, on the other hand, looked like they had just eaten a lemon.
Their expressions were as sour as can be.
“Chairman Salvador, there’s a lot of excitement going on in your home today. If I’d been just one moment later, I probably wouldn’t have been able to see this terribly dramatic scene of you disciplining your son, would I?” Bella said with a mocking smile.
But the gaze she aimed at Gregory was sharp and intimidating. Even Hercules himself would have felt a chill.
Some of the helpers heard the sarcasm and snickered.
Bella steadily supported Justin as she slowly chuckled. “I usually hear people say that family affairs should be kept private. This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen someone beat their son before such a crowd without regard for their family’s reputation. You might as well strip him naked and string him up over Tideview Manor’s metal gates for three days and three nights. When the time comes, I’ll definitely invite all of Savrow’s reporters to come look and spread your name far and wide.” Her sarcastic remarks were viciously biting.
The snickering grew louder.
Justin did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
This woman had to be constantly thinking up methods to torture him day and night.
Gregory really hated this girl.
It was a mystery how Wyatt Thompson had brought up his daughter to be so disrespectful!
“Ms. Thompson!” Shannon was bolstered by the fact that her husband was right there to back her up and stepped forward to rebuke Bella. “This has been the Salvador family’s rule for decades. Kids who have done wrong have to unconditionally accept their punishment. My husband and Old Master Nigel also experienced it. So this is the way it shou Justin’s generation as well. Besides, this is our family matter already divorced Justin, so you’re no longer part of the family are you thinking, turning up at this time? In what capacity are you doing this? What right do you have to interfere?!” Bella did not even have to think to know that the wicked woman would say exactly all that, so she was unruffled in the face of her questioning.
Justin could not bear to allow Shannon to bully his woman. His eyes. flashed with a vicious gleam as he opened his mouth. When he was about to speak, Nigel said, “Anna might not have a say in this, but I do!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 570-A resounding voice interrupted the beating.
It was only then that the crowd noticed Nigel was at the door with his secretary, Matt Upton.
Bella had been so attention-grabbing that Gregory and Shannon had not realized Nigel had come as well.
“Grandpa.” “Grandpa Nigel!” Justin and Bella spoke in unison, though Bella’s voice was much more affectionate..
Shannon’s arrogance was instantly halved, and she broke out into a cold sweat.
“Dad, why are you here?” Gregory was taken aback. The hand he held the whip with trembled slightly.
“Hmph! If I hadn’t rushed over, you probably would have kept beating. my grandson to death!” Nigel was sitting majestically in his wheelchair. When he saw how. injured Justin was, he began trembling from anger. “Justin! Are you okay?!” “I’m fine, Grandpa.” Justin smiled comfortingly.
“Matt! Call my personal doctor to come over immediately to treat Justin’s wounds!” 2/7 “Yes, Old Master,” Matt hurriedly stepped aside to make the call.
“It must have been a huge trouble for Ms. Thompson to call Dad all the way here for Justin.” Shannon tugged on Gregory’s sleeve as she spoke sarcastically, turning her focus to Bella once more. “Greg, Dad’s health and legs have always been in bad condition. It’s so late, and he had to rush over here in such cold weather. I feel-” “That’s enough, that’s enough! Stop acting!” Nigel irritably interrupted Shannon’s performance with a wave of his hand. “I’m in perfectly good health. Anna often visits to help me manage my condition. Are you trying to curse me by saying that?” Realizing she had messed up, Shannon panicked and tried to explain.” No, Dad-” “Also, it wasn’t Anna who called me over.” Nigel did not allow Shannon any opportunity to retaliate and continued to reprimand her. “This was all a coincidence. Anna happened to be visiting me tonight, and when I heard Justin was getting beaten by Gregory, I was so angry that I insisted on rushing here. Anna only followed me because she was afraid something.
would happen to me. If you guys have anything else you’d like to ask, ask me, not Anna!” Everyone turned and looked at the pale Shannon with a complicated gaze.
Shannon’s eyes were red and wide. She no longer dared to say anything else.
This time, she had really shot herself in the foot. She had been too rash!
“Bella, you were visiting Grandpa?” Justin looked up at Bella in surprise.
“Yeah.” She replied coldly, refusing to meet his burning gaze.
“Why didn’t you ask me to come with you?” “I’ll visit Grandpa on my own. Who are you to me? Why do I have to bring you along?” Bella snorted lightly.
Justin pursed his lips, once again feeling hurt.
Bethany felt suspicious when she heard her grandfather’s words.
If Bella only came with Grandpa due to a coincidence, who was it that had called Grandpa over?
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked angrily at Carrie, who was standing not far away.
As expected, that stupid girl’s silly smile betrayed her.
“Dad, Shannon’s right. You shouldn’t have come here. It’s too tiring for you. We’re just worried about your health.” Gregory was about to walk over to Nigel, but Nigel made a gesture to stop him in his tracks with a cold expression. “If you were really worried about my health, you shouldn’t have whipped my grandson like this and angered me! I’m very upset with you!”
