Ch. 681..690
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 681-“You brat! How dare you speak to your own father like that?” Lance was furious. If it were not for the crowd of guests, he would have slapped some sense into Christopher by now!
Aside from Wyatt Thompson, most of the older folks at the party believed in a strict approach to teaching.
Top-notch people did not need much guidance, but average folks needed some rules. Meanwhile, troublemakers need to be seriously disciplined.
Dealing with his son required even more than that. Christopher needed to be taught a lesson he would never forget!
“If you showed some respect for my mother, maybe we can still salvage what’s left of our relationship. But if you keep this up, I’ve got harsher words for you,” Christopher said with a smirk.
His smile seemed mocking, yet his gaze was dead serious.
The fake smile made Lance feel uneasy.
At the end of the hallway, the two Iverson men confronted each other on the terrace.
The temperature outside couldn’t match the heated tension between them.
“What do you want?” Lance questioned him, his face as cold as frost.
“I didn’t know the true value of the gift I gave to Madam Celeste. If you think my gift outshone yours and hurt your pride, then I apologize,” Christopher said dismissively. “After all, ignorance is bliss, right?” “That’s not the issue!” Lance stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger. “Why did you bring her to such an occasion? Are you trying to embarrass me or provoke me intentionally?” Christopher burst into laughter. “I thought it was something important, but it turns out to be just this.” “Christopher!” Lance clenched his fists, his eyes turning red.
“Do you now find my mother repulsive? She’s the one you promised to grow old with, through good times and tough times.” Christopher’s eyes reddened. “You ignored her for fifteen years in Sentania. Now that I’m taking care of her, who are you to call her disgusting? I haven’t disrespected you, and that’s just me fulfilling my duty as a son.” “You animal!” Lance finally became furious and slapped Christopher.
Christopher’s cheek instantly swelled with his father’s handprint. Yet he still smiled, his eyes almost bloodthirsty. “Dad, you’ve gotten weak lately. That slap was weaker than before. Don’t my brothers usually help you stay strong?” “Shut up, you animal!” Lance pointed angrily at his defiant son. “Take your mother and leave now! If you don’t, I’ll send someone to take her away and send her back to Sentania!” “How dare you!” Christopher clenched his fists with veins bulging on his forehead. His fierce side sharply contrasted with his usual calmness in front of Bella. “Tonight, I won’t hesitate to kill anyone who dares to touch my mother!” “You!” Lance’s eyes narrowed sharply.
He truly felt a chilling, murderous intent coming from his son’s intense, bloodshot eyes.
“As long as the Iversons are allowed to be here, my mother has the right to stay too. And tonight, you saw that both my mother and I are guests of Ms. Bella. If you kick my mother out, it’s disrespectful to Ms. Bella. Whatever plans you have won’t work if you offend her.” Christopher didn’t want more words with this scheming old man and turned to leave.
“I never betrayed your mother. It was she who destroyed our marriage, making me look like a bad guy! And because of that, I lost a daughter!” Lance couldn’t hold back and yelled, “If she didn’t have an affair with some random guy, she wouldn’t have had a miscarriage! She could have been the respected Mrs. Iverson, not a laughingstock!” “I believe in my mother’s character. She loved you deeply and would never want another man.” Christopher was on the verge of losing control. His shoulders shook, and his hoarse voice expressed deep anguish and resentment.
“I’ve said it many times before. James, Charles, and Astrid-your most trusted children-conspired against my mother! Without investigating the truth or listening to my mother’s explanation, you just sent her away to that dreadful place. Marrying you was the worst thing that happened to my mother!” “Sparing her and keeping her as Mrs. Iverson was already showing enough respect! I caught them red-handed with my own eyes! What more does she need to explain?” Lance could not reel back his anger, and his face turned red.
Recalling the awful incident from years ago, Lance wished he could strangle Sophie then and there. Now, he still had to deal with this little troublemaker right in front of him!
“Idiot.” Christopher sneered, muttering under his breath, then turned away again.
In truth, he had no intention of bringing up this painful matter. Each recount of his mother’s humiliation reopened old wounds. This time, it was just an impulsive response.
He had long given up on expecting Lance to realize the truth about his three scheming children. It didn’t matter to him anymore because all of them would soon face their downfall.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 682-In the beautiful suite, there was a slightly awkward yet exciting vibe.
Soft light filled the room, highlighting the closely intertwined figures of Bella and Justin.
Justin held Bella so tightly that she could hardly breathe. With a gasp, she wriggled in his arms, her cheeks blushing with warmth.
“If you don’t let go, I might actually hit you!” Even in her anger, Bella’s voice sounded like she was playing around.
“Bella, would you really hit me?” Justin’s jaw lightly brushed against her shoulder, his eyes narrowing. Her blush added to the charm.
“What’s there to hesitate about? You’re not that important to me,” Bella said coldly, but a tingling feeling ran through her body.
” Justin’s eyes brimmed with affection, and his voice was hoarse. “ After all, I kind of saved your life.” Bella slightly closed her eyes. The warmth in her chest made it difficult for her to breathe.
Justin had indeed saved her life. However, what he didn’t realize was that she had once been his savior too.
Justin felt anxious when Bella was silent. He thought he might have said something wrong, so he quickly added, “Bella, I wasn’t thinking when I said that. I’m nothing but your pet, your personal dog.” Upon hearing this, Bella bit her lip tightly, nearly bursting into laughter!
The prideful Justin was willing to be her pet?! Just picture the envy of all the women in Savrow when they find out!
Chapte “How about you bark a couple of times for me?” Bella played along, making a somewhat cheeky request.
She said it as a joke. At this point, she had no intention of getting involved with Justin any further. So she might as well play the villain and tease him a bit to vent her frustrations.
“Woof, woof!” Bella was shocked.
“Woof, woof!” Worried that she might not have heard clearly, Justin barked a couple more times.
Honestly, the initial barks left his cheeks burning with embarrassment. But as he barked a couple more times, somehow he started to accept this strange turn of events.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 683-Bella asked nervously.
“Yes, it’s about Madam Celeste! Something happened to Madam Celeste!” “Hurry, tell me! What happened to Aunt Celeste?” Bella was extremely anxious.
Justin moved close behind her, also becoming nervous.
“Just 10 minutes ago, a bunch of old scandals about Madam Celeste’s past surfaced online!
There are news articles, photos, and even videos!” Bella’s heart sank. “How are the people reacting to this?” “More and more people are tuning in! The photos and videos have already gone viral!” “What about Aunt Celeste? Is she aware?” “Of course she’s aware! Not only that, the media in the entire city i swarming to the KS World Hotel!” Steven, in his urgency, felt as if his throat was on fire.
“Madam Celeste can’t stay here any longer. Chairman Thompson has asked her and Ms. Amelia to head home first. He wants you to escort them back to Hatchbay.”.
“The banquet here will be managed by Chairman Thompson and Mr.
Asher. If everyone leaves together, it’ll seem like we’re hiding something, and things will spiral out of control.” “I understand. I’ll find Aunt Celeste and Amelia right away! Send me those photos and videos, and quickly find out where these photos and videos surfaced from!” Bella was furious and bit her red lips fiercely.
“If I catch the person behind this, I’ll make sure they regret it!” Bella’s phone vibrated. Steve had sent the videos and photos over She immediately opened up the chat and took a closer look. Instantly, her entire body shook with anger, her eyes ablaze.
“Bella, are you alright?” Justin was about to approach Bella when she suddenly screamed,” It’s none of your business!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 684-Justin was shocked. His hands paused abruptly in midair. He initially reached out to comfort Bella.
“I can see that you’re in a hurry. I only wanted to…” “I’ll say it one more time. It’s none of your business!” Bella was not in the mood to entertain him any further.
She quickly moved away from him, glancing at her phone while sprinting out of the room.
-Bang! The door was slammed shut behind her.
In an instant, the warmth that Justin felt had vanished. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream.
Even the priceless antique he had gifted her was left behind. To Bella her family was the most important. Nothing else mattered.
Justin felt an overwhelming sadness in his heart. However, he knew it wasn’t the time to wallow in sadness. He opened the door and left the room.
“Mr. Salvador! I just saw Ms. Thompson storm out. Did you upset her?” lan asked with genuine concern, giving him a somewhat disapproving look. After all, Justin was known for being cruel with his words.
“Bella is facing some trouble,” Justin responded, his gaze intense.
“Oh? That explains the commotion downstairs earlier.” lan quickly pulled out his phone, swiping his thumbs across the screen. Suddenly, his brow furrowed. “Mr. Salvador, take a look at this!” Justin’s dark eyes focused on the video playing on the phone screen. His handsome brows furrowed, and he snatched the phone.
The footage was from years ago. The blurry pixels made it unclear, yet it was undoubtedly a video of Celeste on stage. She appeared embarrassed, covering her lower body with her hands as fluid streamed down her slender legs.
The audience below stared fixedly at her, letting out shocked gasps. Several cameras were flashing continuously, capturing the moment.
“My mother was a big fan of Madam Celeste back then. She mentioned how Madam Celeste’s career took a hit due to a drug abuse scandal. When she was performing at TS Gem Channel, she even had an incident where she lost control and peed herself.” lan couldn’t stand to watch the video. “But back then, the internet wasn’t as advanced and most phones couldn’t record videos, so news didn’t spread so quickly. Being a hardcore fan of Madam Celeste, my mother was camped out at the TS Gem station and saw it with her own eyes.” Justin listened, feeling uneasy. He could empathize with her pain.
Celeste was a glamorous celebrity Falling from such heights must have destroyed her dignity.
The embarrassment must have been worse than death for her.
“I heard from my mom that all the newspapers and magazines had headlines about Madam Celeste’s disgrace, covering everything. It was everywhere, like you could find one just by going downstairs to throw out the trash. However, within a few hours, all those newspapers and magazines disappeared! No one knew who took them away, and they were never found again.” Justin squinted his eyes, comprehending the gravity of the situation.
It was undoubtedly Chairman Thompson pulling the strings. Only someone as powerful as Chairman Thompson could quickly erase all the negative coverage about Celeste from national newspapers and magazines.
“Only today, the scandal went viral. It seems the mastermind behind this has been plotting for a long time. They are even quite skilled to have obtained the video that Chairman Thompson had erased years ago.” Justin was calm and composed despite his earlier rejection by Bella.
He analyzed the situation calmly. “The person who released this video is either an insider from the TS Gem Channel or someone connected to Madam Celeste’s past.” “Mr. Salvador, you’re really sharp!” lan continued to flatter Justin.
“Find out where this video originated from immediately. Check who released this video-an influencer or a journalist. Anyone even remotely connected to this matter should be identified and detained.” Justin instructed, his expression determined.
“Yes, Mr. Salvador!” With the instructions given, Justin swiftly walked away, sweeping past lan.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 685-“Mr. Salvador! Where are you going?” lan hurriedly asked.
Justin halted his steps. He said without turning back, “Bella went to help her family. I need to go and protect her.” It did not matter whether she loved him or not. Regardless of whether he held a place in her heart, Justin wanted her to be a part of his life.
That was enough for him.
When Celeste’s past scandals suddenly resurfaced, it stirred up a storm. Someone was manipulating the media behind the scenes to publicize her embarrassing past.
Reporters swarmed to the KS World Hotel like flies.
The public opinion took a clear shift.
[Unbelievable! You can actually watch the ugly side of a o popular female celebrity for free?] ly [Seriously! What’s this? People usually shed tears during their farewell performances, but she peed?] [You youngsters might not have heard, but I’ve got some inside information. Celeste was suspected of drug abuse, which led to he downfall in the entertainment industry!] [It’s unbelievable! Is it true?!] [Does Chairman Thompson still want a woman like her? TheThompson family is a top-notch elite family. Why are they putting up with all sorts of dirty things?] [Sigh, they even threw a birthday banquet for such a woman. I bet the Thompsons are regretting it!] As Bella ran toward the banquet hall, she read through the rumors online.
The more she read, the more infuriated she became. Her beautiful eyes turned red from anger.
Outside the banquet hall, Asher, Axel, and Ralph stood at the door while intensely discussing something.
“Ash, Ax, Ralph!” Bella urgently called.
“Bella!” they responded in unison.
“Where’s Aunt Celeste? Where is she now? What’s the situation?” Bella was breathing heavily, and her forehead was covered sweat, “Dad has already sent a group of bodyguards to escort Asher hurriedly approached Bella. He pulled out a handkerc his pocket to wipe his sister’s sweat. “They should be in the underground parking lot by now. We need to stay here to handle things.” “What about Aunt Celeste? How is she?” Bella brushed aside Ashe hand. She was solely focused on Celeste.
The three brothers exchanged glances and shook their heads.
“When Aunt Celeste left, her face was pale, and she was trembling . She must have been severely shocked.” Axel sighed with frustration.”3/3 After all, that incident has always traumatized her. It must have been twice as traumatizing for it to be brought up on such an important day.” “I’ve had enough of this!” Ralph was so enraged that he pulled his hair. “I’m calling the police station now. I’m going to ask the senior officials from the Cyber Security department to help me find out which damn son of a gun is behind this.” “Ralph, calm down.” Asher firmly intervened. “You’re a public servant.
Even if this matter becomes a big deal, it’s still a family matter. You can’t abuse your power. Otherwise, you’re making a serious mistake.” Ralph was taken aback for a moment, snapping out of his anger.
He was a rash young man. Sometimes he struggled to control his impulsiveness. Had Asher not reminded him in time, he might have taken the wrong path.
In their moment of frustration, there was suddenly a loud shatter.
Bella punched the glass door of a fire hydrant. It shattered to p and the glass fell all over the floor.
“Bella! You can’t do that!” They hurried over to check on Bella. T three brothers were usually calm and collected in their own areas d expertise, but in front of their little sister, they were like a bunch of headless chickens.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 686-“Bella, you’re bleeding!” Axel saw blood dripping from Bella’s fingers.
He exclaimed, almost on the verge of tears, “Call an ambulance!
Hurry, call an ambulance!” “It’s just a minor injury. What’s the fuss about? You really haven’t seen anything.” Bella’s beautiful eyes flickered with a chilling light, and her hand flashed in front of Axel.
Swish- In that instance, Bella pulled off Axel’s tie and skillfully wrapped it around her injured right hand.
“Damn! That’s so cool!” Ralph mumbled, completely mesmerized by Bella.
“Bella, calm down.” Asher looked heartbroken. He gently cradled Bella’s hand wrapped in the tie. His eyes were filled with reproa Are you silly? No matter how angry or anxious you are, you can’t ha yourself. Our family is here together. Is there any problem that can be solved?” “You guys, stay here and find out who is behind this as soon as possible! Leave Aunt Celeste and Amelia to me. I will bring them home safely!” Bella shouted as she sprinted away.
“Hey! Bella! Your hand is injured!” Axel could not stop her. She had long disappeared from their sight.
2/3 Ralph shook his head helplessly. “She’s even more impulsive than me.” “Let’s not hold Bella back. She has skills, intelligence, and medical knowledge. The three of us combined are not even a tenth of her.” Asher patted Axel’s and Ralph’s shoulders with a soft sigh.
“If she doesn’t personally handle this matter, she won’t be able to sit still. Just let her handle it. As her brothers, we will secretly protect her.” Bella did not have time to see Wyatt. She sprinted to the underground parking lot.
“Ms. Thompson! You can’t go over there!” Unexpectedly, the Thompson family’s bodyguards intercepted her halfway.
Bella said sharply, “Get out of my way!” “Chairman Thompson said the parking lot is chaotic right now, s shouldn’t get too close. Our security team will escort Madam Cel and Ms. Amelia out safely.” “I don’t trust you!” With her remarkable agility, Bella avoided the two bodyguards and continued running forward.
A few minutes later, she found her family surrounded by reporters.
“Ms. Celeste! What are your thoughts on tonight’s events?!” “Are the videos and photos true?! Is the scandal from back then true?!” “Can you clarify?!” The crowd was chaotic, with people pushing and shoving. The reporters seemed determined to hound Celeste until they had torn her apart!
Amelia held onto her mother tightly, while Sasha and Mila stood in front. They acted as a barrier against the surging crowd.
“Don’t spread baseless rumors! I’m warning you. If you spread false information, we will sue you!” Sasha yelled at the questioning reporters, wishing she could knock some sense into each one of them!
“All of you, please leave! There won’t be any answers, and there won’t be any clarification ! Because Celeste has a clear conscience!” Mila, though more composed than Sasha, was also on the verge of exploding.
“Clear conscience? Madam Mila, even though the incident from years ago is long past, it doesn’t mean everyone who knew the truth bas died!” Suddenly, a middle-aged male reporter with a lecherous smile sa was present during the TS anniversary celebration. I personally witnessed Madam Celeste’s incontinence on stage.” The reporters burst into laughter. Who would have connected the once dazzling actress with the word “incontinence”?
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 687-The reporters chuckled. Their gaze was full of malicious intentions, mockery, disdain, and loathing.
Celeste could feel every mocking gaze that was directed at her like a stab to her heart. She felt as if her heart were crushed.
“Mom, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you!” Amelia tightly hugged her mother, shielding her from their sinister gazes.
The normally shy and cautious Amelia now had a resolute gaze. She whispered in Celeste’s ear, “I’ll never let anyone harm you.” “Amelia, I’m fine… I’m fine…” Celeste shook her head with a vacant expression. Her once-clear eyes are now muddled and chaotic.
Seeing this, Amelia felt her heart ache. Tears involuntarily streamed down her face, freezing in her mother’s hair.
“What did you say? I dare you to say it again?!” Sasha pointed di at the journalist’s face. Her face turned red with anger!
Another journalist mocked. “Madam Sasha, this matter has nothi to do with you. Why are you so angry?” ‘These journalists were likely sent to cause trouble!’ Sasha’s eyebrows furrowed, instantly seeing through the situation.
“Why wouldn’t I be angry?! Celeste is family to me. Insulting her is equivalent to insulting me!” Sasha said indignantly, wishing she could break his ribs!
The journalist sneered. “Family? In front of the media, you might appear to be a loving family, but who knows what’s going on behind the cameras?” “Madam Sasha, when it comes to affluent families, as journalists, we have seen it all. Which woman doesn’t feel jealous or compete for attention? If it weren’t for necessity, who would willingly share a husband with other women?” “I…!” Sasha almost cursed out loud, but Mila signaled her to keep quiet. They represented the Thompson family when out in public.
They had to keep in mind the consequences of their every action, as it could cause trouble for Wyatt and Asher.
“Sasha, let’s go. Don’t stoop to their level,” Mila turned around, pulling Sasha toward the car.
The middle-aged journalist started to sneer. “After all, Madam Celeste was once the leading actress in the entertainment industry. She st be ashamed of herself for quitting due to drug-related complica Before he finished speaking, he saw a blur in front of him!
Everyone was shocked!
No one saw how Bella appeared out of nowhere. She arrived like lightning bolt and stood in front of her family.
The male journalist got a clear view of Bella’s stunning face and was deeply stunned. ‘She’s so beautiful. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?’ He had seen many charming actresses and celebrities in his career in the entertainment industry. But he had never seen a woman asbeautiful as Bella. She was the definition of a femme fatale.
“So, you’re the one insulting Aunt Celeste. Your mouth is full of shit.” Bella smiled coldly. Not waiting for him to reply, she grabbed his collar and raised her other hand high.
In front of all the reporters, she ruthlessly delivered a resounding slap across the man’s face.
Everyone was stunned, including the Thompsons.
“Bella…” Amelia froze. At this moment, her admiration for Bella skyrocketed.
“Damn! You’re awesome, Bella!” Sasha applauded fervently. She wanted to rush over and give him a piece of her mind too, but Mila quickly hugged her tightly.
“You… How dare you hit me? How dare you publicly assault someone!” The man held his stinging face and stared at Bella in panic.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 688-“Just hitting you isn’t enough. I’m going to sue you and take legal action against you. I’ll make you pay for your despicable actions.” Bella showed no hint of fear. Her voice was icy and cold. “You are spreading false rumors and causing trouble unnecessarily. Without knowing the truth, you fabricated stories and defamed my family. You even slandered Aunt Celeste’s reputation. Don’t think that just because you’re a journalist, you can say whatever you want. Just because the people you’ve harmed before chose not to make a fuss, do you believe you’re untouchable? Tonight, I will thoroughly change your mindset. I’ll let everyone with malicious intentions know what the consequences should be.” Everyone was awed by Bella’s imposing attitude. Clearly, she was the one in the wrong for striking him. But she was so beautiful and valiant, it made it hard for others to hate her even if she comm crime.
“Fabricated stories?” The enraged journalist burst into mocking laughter. “Only the younger journalists don’t know what happened the TS Gem Channel anniversary celebration. The rest know exactly what happened. Even if the internet wasn’t as advanced at that time, we all still have our memories.” “Is that so? You may have your memories, but do you have evidence?” Bella’s tone remained calm, and her gaze was cold and intimidating.
The man’s confidence wavered as he visibly softened under the direct scrutiny.
“What’s the matter? You were quite articulate when asking questions just now. What happened? Cat got your tongue?” Bella glanced at his press pass. “Alright, adults should be responsible for their words and actions. The legal department of KS Group will be contacting you.” The man was visibly shaking in fright.
After saying that, she turned and escorted her family toward the car.
“Bella, you really don’t need to do this for me.” Celeste held onto the edge of Bella’s clothes. Her eyes were red, and her face was pale.
“What are you talking about, Aunt Celeste?” Bella gazed at her reassuringly. “If a dog comes to bite you, as your family, I must help you fend it off. It’s too inconvenient for Aunt Mila and Aunt Sasha to get involved. I’m young and unafraid of stirring up trouble. I have no reservations.” At that moment, a series of exclamations erupted from the crowd!
A man wearing a black mask and a baseball cap suddenly ch out of the crowd, shouting, “Celeste! You shameless woman! How dare you show your face?!
to hell!” In the midst of chaos, the man wielded an iron rod, swinging it directly at Celeste’s head.
“Watch out!” Amelia’s heart stopped in fear as she shouted.
Although the bodyguards were well-trained, this man was no pushover. With swift and precise movements, he caught them off guard.
However, Bella reacted instantly. In the split second before the menacing man closed in, she turned and tightly hugged Celeste, shielding her from the attack.
“Bella!” Both Mila and Sasha exclaimed in shock.
Bella’s heart pounded wildly as she closed her eyes, ready to endure the impending blow.
Bang-!
“Ugh!” The sensation of pain did not follow.
Instead, what followed was the familiar sound of a man’s labored breathing. The sound was like an explosion in Bella’s ears.
She was shocked.
“Justin!” Justin had taken the blow for her.
Bella slowly turned to face him, tears pouring out of her reddened eyes.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 689-Justin’s broad and tall figure shielded her. His breath gradually weakened, becoming more labored.
“Bella… Are you okay?” “Are you a fool?! At a time like this, I should be asking you that.” Bella growled at him, her voice low as tears welled in her eyes.
Justin’s head throbbed, his vision becoming increasingly blurry.
Despite that, he still smiled tenderly at her. “If you’re concerned about me, then I’ll…” Suddenly, Justin’s mind went blank, and everything went dark before him.
Bella’s heart raced. She opened her arms and embraced his faltering figure, hoarsely calling out his name “Justin!” 1 *
The thug who attempted to harm Celeste was promptly subdued by the Thompson family’s bodyguards and taken to the police station by Ralph.
As the man was escorted into the police car, Bella unexpectedly dashed over, her eyes red. She was ready to physically confront the man.
Ralph promptly held her back, whispering in her ear, both coaxing and advising, “Bella! Leave it to me. Let me handle this scum! Don’t dirty your hands with such filth. It’s not worth it!” “I’m going to kill him… I’m going to kill him!” Bella’s beautiful eyes teared up, almost hysterically struggling in Ralph’s embrace, still wanting to hit the man.
Asher and Axel rushed over, both equally stunned by the scene.
They knew that even though their younger sister had a fiery temper, she was a strong-willed person who remained calm even in the face of storms. They had never seen her lose control like this before.
The man was handcuffed and seated in the police car. Before the car drove away, he even leaned out, revealing a sinister smirk directed at Bella.
“Ralph! Make sure not to go easy on him. Absolutely not!” Bella was consumed by anger. She hated the man to the point that her eyes.
turned bloodshot.
“Don’t worry, Bella.” Ralph nodded firmly and then boarded the car.
Bella stood in the cold wind with clenched fists.
“Bella.” Asher walked over, embracing Bella’s shoulder and pulling her into a comforting hug.
7 “Justin has already been taken to the nearest hospital in an ambulance. Dad went there as soon as he heard. He’ll arrange for the best doctors. Justin will be fine.” “Yeah, Bella.” Axel joined in to console, “That guy used to be in the military. He’s tough as nails. It’s probably just a few bruises. He can handle it.” “Handle it?” Bella felt a sharp pain in her chest, nearly biting her teeth to pieces. ” That was an iron rod! No matter how tough he is, he’s still a human. It’s fortunate that he didn’t die on the spot from a blow to the head with an iron rod. How can he handle that?!” Axel’s eyes narrowed. Realizing it was not a good time for jokes, he felt a twinge of guilt.
“I know all the doctors at our hospital. Who among them can be better than me?” Bella took a deep breath, breaking free from her big brother’s embrace. “I’m going to the hospital now. If anything happens to Justin, that thug is done for!” Watching the stubborn figure of his younger sister leave, the two brothers sighed.
Axel asked anxiously. “Ash, did I say something wrong just now?” Asher answered, “Yes. Regardless, Justin also saved Bella. Beside he’s in critical condition now. You shouldn’t joke about it.” “Sigh, my bad, my bad… I know we owe a lot to Justin. Without him, it would be Bella being rushed to the hospital. But my mouth works faster than my brain, and I didn’t mean any harm.” Axel regretted it more and more. He was almost on the verge of tears. “Ash, you have to help me… I’m really afraid Bella will be mad at me!” “Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Bella doesn’t hold grudges against us.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 690-Asher’s expression turned serious as he patted Axel on the shoulder.
“However, when you mention Justin’s name in front of Bella in the future, don’t overemphasize his nickname, Jerkface Justin. Be mindful of your words.” Axel realized what Asher meant, and a mix of emotions stirred within him. He nodded in understanding.
On the second floor of the KS World Hotel, Christopher stood at the railing, overlooking the hurried figures of Wyatt and Nigel below. The mirrored gaze in his eyes swept across with a chilling gloom.
“Mr. Iverson.” His secretary approached from behind, leaning in to speak in a hushed tone. “I’ve found out. Ms. Bella almost got attacked by a t in the parking lot while protecting Madam Celeste. But Justin Salvador suddenly appeared and took a blow to his head.” Christopher furrowed his brows.
“His head… My goodness, he really is daring! Has he been practicing the Iron Head technique ?” The secretary shuddered at the thought.
“Say what you need to say, and keep quiet about what you shouldn’t.” Christopher coldly reprimanded him The secretary was petrified, tightly sealing his lips.
pier me “What happened next? Did he collapse on the spot?” Christopher asked with a dark tone.
“No… But he fell into a severe coma because his head was bleeding heavily.” “What about Bella?” The secretary nervously swallowed. “Ms. Thompson went to the hospital with him…” “Good… Very good. Hahaha!” A cold, eerie laughter emerged from Christopher. The corners of his eyes reddened. His smile turned sinister, looking like a wild beast on the verge of losing control.
‘Justin, I love it when someone plays with me. Are you really willing to go to such lengths for Bella and repeatedly play the victim card to gain her sympathy? I’ll let you revel in your triumph for a moment. Soon, I will make all your efforts go down the drain. As long as I liv you will never be able to win back Bella’s heart!’ Justin was rushed into the emergency room at the Thompsons’ hospital for treatment. Wyatt and Asher personally assisted Nigel, hastily making their way to the hospital with their entourage.
“Justin! Justin! My grandson!” Worried for his grandson, the elderly man stumbled along the way. If it weren’t for the support of the Thompson father and son, Nigel probably would not have been able to take a single step.
“Old Master Nigel, rest assured! This hospital has the best doctors and the most advanced medical equipment in our group. I’ve also instructed Asher to notify them to get an expert to consult on Justin’s condition. We’ll come up with a solution that will work. Your grandson will be fine!” Wyatt was anxious too, but he tried his best to reassure Nigel.
“How did he end up like this…? How did he turn out like this?!” Nigel sank into a chair, his heart heavy. Tears of deep sorrow welled up in his glassy eyes. “My dear grandson… You must hold on!” “Grandpa…” Hearing the voice, everyone turned around. Bella, looking disheveled, rushed over. She walked over to Nigel and kneeled on one knee before him.
“Grandpa Nigel…” A Nigel was taken aback by her pale face and red eyes.
“Grandpa Nigel, I’m sorry…” Bella felt like her throat was being strangled. After a moment, she spoke softly, full of guilt. “Justin is only like this because of me.”
