Ch. 701: -710

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 701-Zoe gasped sharply and stepped back.. As everybody watched on, Bella narrowed her eyes dangerously and approached her. Despite wearing heels, Zoe was still 8 cm shorter than Bella. That was the least of her problems. The sheer force of Bella’s inner strength and presence overwhelmed Zoe, reducing her to feeling small and helpless. “W-What do you want?” Zoe turned pale. “Nothing. I came to answer your questions.” Bella let out a composed smile before removing her surgical hat. An air of carefree grace clung to her beauty, echoing in the unrestrained flow of her cascading hair. She drew close to Zoe’s ear. “You’re better off pleading with me than God. Justin was injured because of me, but I have the ability to make him better. I can take responsibility for his life. Save your worries for something else.” Zoe shuddered and faced Bella’s aggression with a flushed face. The bitch heard everything she said. Just as Zoe ran through her options to refute her, Ryan drew near with sparkling eyes. “Bella, can you really perform surgeries?” “Duh.” Bella wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her patience ran thin after a long battle at the operating table. “No, no… I mean to say that you’re so badass!” Ryan could not think of a better way to praise her. “If you had spent more time in your studies during college, you would have a wider range of vocabulary now.” Bella looked askance at him and shook her head. Carrie was a lovely girl, and yet of all the guys, she saw something in Ryan instead. To Bella, Ryan had nothing going for him except for a few loose change in his pocket. Zoe shivered in rage, tempted to stitch Ryan’s mouth up. A flurry of footsteps came from the other end of the corridor. “Chairman Thompson, Mr. Asher, I apologize for not attending to you sooner, as I have only gotten word of your arrival.” Scott Cartman, the medical director, together with his deputy director and two leading experts in the field, greeted Wyatt and Asher from afar in a friendly and respectful manner. “Don’t worry about it, Scott. I know you’re busy, so I didn’t inform you.” Wyatt was amicable and did not have an attitude. It was possible that people with greater power and responsibility often exhibit increased understanding and patience. “That reminds me, Scott. Come here. This is my precious daughter, whom I often talk about. Bella, come here!” Wyatt puiled Bella to his side. He would brag about his outstanding daughter every chance he got. “Here’s something you’ll find hard to believe. My daughter, Bella, is very knowledgeable in the medical field. She has just gotten off a ten-hour surgery as the head surgeon. She nailed it right on the head!” Asher and Ryan felt a jolt of fear run through them after the unsettling nailing comment. Scott exchanged glances with his deputy and looked at Wyatt in shock. “Chairman Thompson, is she really your daughter?” Wyatt frowned. “Are you questioning whether she’s my daughter?” “No, no, no. That’s not what I mean. Don’t you know who your daughter is?” Wyatt was confused. “Know what?” Scott gasped and introduced Bella with the utmost respect in front of everybody.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 702-“Your daughter has saved countless lives. She’s the renowned Dr.

Brown.” Everybody was shocked.

Bella was not only the competent general manager of KS World and the talented designer, Alexa, but she was a doctor with magic hands too.

Despite being a jack of many trades, Bella was certainly not a master of none..

Nigel and Gregory could not believe what they had just heard.

The success of Dr. Brown had spread throughout their community Dr. Brown was very skilled in medicine, especially in surgery. It was nearly impossible to get an appointment with her.

Besides, Dr. Brown kept to herself. Despite her great reputation, she never revealed herself or accepted any interviews.

Hence, many were unaware of her prowess in medicine, except for those closest to her, like Asher and Scott.

Bella was Dr. Brown.

Gregory’s jaw dropped.

The unassuming young lady, who had been living under his roof for three years, turned out to be so talented.

A wave of helplessness, loss, and frustration washed over Gregory He would probably never find an amazing daughter-in-law like Bella again.

“Seriously, Scott…” Bella sighed and let out a wry smile. “Why did you have to tell my dad? Didn’t I tell you to keep it to yourself?” “Sigh. You have undergone many successful surgeries with us in the past three years. I can’t count the times you have navigated us through difficult times. How could you let Chairman Thompson out of it? I understand your wish not to make things public, but you should at least let your father know.” Scott expressed his opinion, his eyes reflecting admiration for Bella.

“You little brat!”.

Wyatt was glad and angry. Since he could never punish his daughter, he pinched her cheek. “How dare you keep this from your father?! Trust me when I say I’ll give you a spanking.” “Wyatt, not in front of these people!” Blushing, Bella spoke in hushed tones.

“Anna…” Nigel approached with tears of joy and held her by the shoulders, getting a look at the incredible woman. He could not get enough of her greatness. “Anna, I have let you down. The Salvadors have let you down.” “What are you saying, Grandpa? Don’t say that-” Carpet “No, my family has failed you.” Nigel’s heart grew heavy, and he could not bear the thought of letting her go. “What should I do? I don’t want anyone but you to be close to my grandson. I can’t accept anyone but you as my granddaughter-in- law. I’m greedy and shameless. I don’t want anyone else but you, Anna!” Wyatt’s eyes widened in disgruntlement. He wanted to say something, but Asher held him back.

“Why are you behaving like a child, Grandpa?” Distraught, Bella blushed.

Bella was the center of attention, loved and admired by all.

Standing outside the crowd, Zoe was dejected and left alone. Even her brother did not give her any attention. She was forgotten.

Nigel’s words stabbed at her, pushing her to the dark side. She wished she could kill Bella.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 703-It was common for those who had major surgery to remain. unconscious for days.

However, Justin was not in that percentage of people. He was in the special forces, so he was in tip-top shape compared to most. Justin woke up four days after the surgery.

“Mr. Salvador! Mr. Salvador! Mr. Salvador!” It was noisy.

A voice kept buzzing in Justin’s ear.

Justin struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and his vision gradually became clear.

The first thing he saw was lan’s shaggy face with sunken cheeks.

“You’re awake, Mr. Salvador! You’re awake!” Hot with emotions, lan pressed the call bell by the bed incessa “That voice of yours can bring me back from the dead.” Justin’s ear was buzzing. His head was still fuzzy. “Where am I?” “The hospital, of course. Don’t you know that you have just been through a traumatic experience?” lan’s eyes welled up at the thought of what Justin had been through.

“Oh… Bella!” Justin was worried about Bella’s safety instead of his the moment he woke up.

The last thing he remembered was the offender charging toward Bella with a metal rod.

He had no idea what happened next.

Justin was not sure whether he had managed to protect her. What if he did not? He was better off dead in that case.

lan pinned him down in bed and persuaded him. “She’s fine. She’s fine. The young madam is unharmed. You saved her. Relax.” However, Justin could not feel at ease.

The medical personnel and attending doctor rushed into the room and helped lan hold Justin down.

“Where’s Bella? I want to see her now!” Justin jolted up from bed, his lips quivering and his eyes red.

His feelings got the best of him.

“Mr. Salvador, why don’t you take a good rest? Once you are rested, we can meet the young madam. The way you look now-” “I want to see Bella now! Now!” Something was up with Justin. He was agitated. His heart was pounding out of his chest.

While everybody was overwhelmed by the situation, a clear voice echoed through the room.

“Justin, are you a toddler? Why are you making such a big fuss?” The room fell silent.

Bella stood at the door frame with furrowed brows. Despite her stern face, she still had the grace of a Greek goddess.

“Y-Young Madam!” lan looked at Bella with a grin. Here came the savior.

‘Bella!” Justin looked at her tenderly, but his hands shook violently.

The affectionate man looked rather comical, with a heavily bandaged head..

Bella said with a smirk, “The rest of you get out. The patient needs -rest.” She carried more authority than Justin’s attending doctor.

“We leave him in your care, Ms. Thompson.” The attending doctor and nurses nodded at Bella with respect before retreating out of the ward. Since word that Bella was Dr. Brown went around the hospital, the haughty medical professionals only had respect and admiration for her.

“I’ll leave Mr. Salvador to you, Young Madam.” Reading the room, lan slipped out of there.

The door was shut behind him.

Bella was glad to see Justin awake. However, she would never be honest about her feelings for him. She remained indifferent to him.

“Justin, you shouldn’t be moving around after brain surgery. For all you know, you might become an idiot.” Folding her arms, Bella scowled and sneered. “It’s bad enough that you’re blind and dumb. Don’t say that you know me. I don’t want to be embarrassed.” She was not done.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 704-Justin got out of bed shakily and sprinted toward Bella.

“You…” The man swiftly grabbed her wrist and gave her a pull.

The next thing Bella knew, she fell into his sturdy arms and dove headfirst into his chest. Her head was still spinning.

“It’s great that you’re okay, Bella. All that matters is that you’re okay.” Justin rested his chin on her shoulder, his dry lips whispering in her ear.

He was the one injured, yet he could not care less about himself.

Bella dared not touch him for fear of injuring him further. With a blushing face, she protested sternly. “You’re the patient! You shouldn’t move! Get back to bed now!” “No.” The man was stubborn. With tearful eyes, he pulled Bella cle to him.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

Bella’s eyes widened in shock.

His heartbeat was unusually fast.

Justin was hot to the touch as well. His muscles were rock-hard from tension, and the tremors in his body pulled at her heartstrings.

All the symptoms pointed to one thing-Justin was unwell.

“Something isn’t right with you, Justin. Let go of me-Mgh!” Justin’s heart was racing, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy as he took her lips.

He inched closer to her while she created distance between them.

With her back up against the wall, Bella had nowhere to run but face his aggressive and domineering kiss.

Justin closed his eyes and lost himself in the moment. He nibbled her lip, pried open her teeth, and engaged in a tongue-lock with her.

The overpowering kiss painted Bella’s ears, face, and neck rosy.

Bit by bit, she could feel his breathing and tremors calming down. His eyes gradually gained lucidity.

Nevertheless, his kiss was as deep as ever.

Justin would probably keep the kiss going until dark, if not for the loss of oxygen.

They gasped for air. By then, they had broken out in a sweat.

The bastard was drenched all over. The hospital gown clung to his abs.

At closer inspection, his discolored lips had become glossy and ruddy.

It was as if the kiss revitalized him.

“What’s with the assault the moment you regain consciousness, bastard?” Thrown off by the kiss, Bella had a new word to address him with.

“Only to you.” Justin felt refreshed and nourished after the tongue-lock. The frustrating restlessness faded away Getting cheeky there, he towered over her and propped her chin up with a finger. “But I hope it doesn’t hurt.” “Get off me and lay back down in bed!” Bella turned her face away. It was her turn for heart palpitations.

“No.” “Are you not even going to listen to me, Justin?” Bella said in the heat of the moment.

Taken aback, Justin curled his lips. “I’ll listen to you, but…” He swallowed hard, his scorching breath brushing against the top of her nose. “Once I get enough of you.

Before Bella knew it, Justin pinned her wrists against the wall.

His burning lips took her to another world.

The sun had set by the time Bella broke free from him.

She walked to the medical director’s office, feeling weak in her knees.

She was soaked in sweat, and her eyes were hazy.

It was only a kiss.

Yet, it felt like they had done more than that.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 705-Bella entered the office after knocking on the door.

“Dr. Cartman.” “Ms. Thompson, you look flushed. Are you unwell?” Noticing her rosy cheeks, Scott asked out of concern.

“Uh, I’m fine.” Once again, Justin proved a bastard to Bella. She took a deep breath and touched her hot cheek. “Do we have the test result of the CT scan on Justin’s brain yet?” have it with me.” Scott pulled out a scan from his drawer and handed it to Bella.

Bella took the scan and observed it under the light.

Suddenly, she furrowed her brow, and her heart sank.

“I’m sure you can see it too, Ms. Thompson.” Scott looked anxious. “The surgery was a success. I believe no more than three in the country can pull off the operation.” “A success? Do you think the surgery was a success?” Unable to shake off the frustration, Bella put down her trembling arms. The CT scan rustled along with her movements. “The way I see it, it’s a failure on my part because the patient suffers complications.” Of all the things she could put up with, she could never tolerate failure.

Yet, Justin was once again the reason she tasted failure.

Bella clutched her blouse, her emotions consuming her.

“The complications are bound to happen with such a risky and difficult surgery. Don’t beat yourself up over it. You did a great job saving Mr. Salvador’s life.” Scott persuaded her because he knew what Dr. Brown was capable of.

“That explains why he was so emotional when he saw me,” Bella murmured.

She clenched her fists. “Is there any way to treat the side effects?” Scott sighed. “For now, the best way forward is to control his symptoms with sedatives.

“If the patient is able to keep his cool and a level head, he should be able to stop his own outbursts.” Keep his cool?

Justin cooled off after kissing her.

Bella blushed and gritted her teeth.

Curing physical illness was simple, but matters of the heart were a different story.

It was the middle of the night.

In a plush, velvet-lined lounge in Pivotage, two women, dressed rather provocatively, were attending to Christopher.

By attending, they were keeping him company and filling his glass with wine.

It was well-known in Pivotage that Christopher was a germaphobe These women would be digging their own graves by getting handsy with the man.

Under the dim light, Christopher sank his back against the sofa with his head thrown back. His profile was breathtaking.

One of the women was so captivated by his looks that she spilled alcohol over Christopher’s pristine shoe.

“Uh! I’m so sorry, Mr. Iverson! I’m so sorry!” Frightened, the woman got up and apologized profusely.

Christopher took his time to open his eyes but did not look at her.” Clean it.” “Y-Yes, sir!” The woman immediately got down on her knees and held his le shoes with trembling hands before sticking out her tongue.

She licked his shoe clean.

“Get lost!” Annoyed, Christopher kneaded between his brows.

“Of course!” The woman crawled out of the lounge.

“You too.” The other terrified woman scrambled out of there.

Once they were gone, the secretary popped his head in and said cautiously, “Mr. Iverson, Ms. Yvonne Smith is here.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 706-The spark finally returned to Christopher’s empty eyes.

“Let her in.” “Sure, Mr. Iverson.” The secretary made himself scarce.

Seconds later, the clicking of heels broke the silence in the private lounge.

“Chris.” Following a tender voice, a lithe figure appeared before Christopher.

The man narrowed his eyes and curled his lips as he admired the woman named Yvonne. It was as if he was appreciating his work of art.

Yvonne, the manager of Pivotage, was a woman who had grown up faster than most. She approached Christopher with a flirtatious demeanor, her manner not tacky but exuding a sultry confidence.

However, it was her face that commanded Christopher’s attention Christopher’s heart raced the moment she strutted into the room.

Her hair, luscious lips, confident smile, and face that he spent years tweaking had an uncanny resemblance to Bella.

The only thing Yvonne could imitate about Bella, despite her best efforts, was her body language and poise.

“Come to me, Yvonne.” Christopher swallowed hard and curled his finger at her.

Yvonne drew close to him, and he pulled her into his arms.

“Chris…” With loving eyes, the woman hooked her finger around his Windsor knot and pulled his face closer to hers. She pouted her lips, giving herself to him.

“What did I tell you? Have you forgotten?” Christopher grimaced, his tone icy. “You look like Bella. Don’t think you are her.

“Know your place as a replacement. My kisses are only for Bella.” “Got it… I’m sorry, Chris. It won’t happen again.” Yvonne recoiled her arm. It was a rude awakening.

Out of all Christopher’s subordinates, only she got to call him by his nickname.

Others believed the privilege came from Christopher’s love for her.

Only Yvonne knew that she was granted the entitlement because of her resemblance to Bella.

Yvonne bit her lip as her heart was ripped right out of her.

She had been with Christopher since the age of fifteen in Sentania. Bella had always been on Christopher’s mind, despite the many years. Yvonne kept by his side.

Yvonne wanted to meet Bella. The woman must have been exceptional to capture the attention of the man Yvonne loved.

“You don’t look like you’re in a good mood, Chris. Does it have something to do with Ms. Thompson?” “Bella has gotten closer to Justin.” Christopher scowled sinisterly and resentfully. “Although they are divorced, I have the feeling that I can’t come between their attraction.

for each other.” “Why don’t you tell me what I can do to make you happy and help you, Chris?” Yvonne stared intently at the man.

“I have taken you under my wing for so long. It’s time to make use of that face of yours.” Christopher held her face up with a finger.

Following a knock on the door, his secretary’s voice came through.” It’s me, Mr. Iverson.” “Enter.” The secretary walked into the private lounge and saw Yvonne snuggling up against Christopher. Although this was not the first tir it had happened, he was still startled.

The woman looked too much like Bella.

“What is it?” Christopher took a bite out of the fruit Yvonne fed him.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 707-“We received word from the mole you planted at Thompson Hospital.” News of Justin’s emergence from a coma reached the Salvadors.

Nigel and Gregory rushed to the hospital. Seeing that Justin was awake, Nigel lost it and climbed onto the bed to hug his grandson. He was near tears.

“My dear grandson, you scared the hell out of me!” “I’m sorry to make you worry, Grandpa.” Justin hugged his grandfather back as guilt consumed him.

“How do you feel? Does your head hurt? Does it hurt anywhere?” Nigel raised his hand to stroke Justin’s head but froze.

It struck Nigel that Justin had just gone through more than ten hours of surgery to glue his head back together. His head should be off- limits for now.

“I’m fine, really.” Reading Nigel’s mind, Justin gently put the old man’s hand on his head with a smile. “Just feel my head. I have a tough skull.” “You are such a silly child!” Nigel kept to a light touch. Still, he grinned widely.

Gregory came to visit his son, but the relationship between the father and son was still strained.

While Justin was in a coma, Gregory could barely sleep or eat due to worry. Now that his son was awake, Gregory pulled a long face and could not say anything nice.

“Don’t scare me like that again, boy. I know you want to protect Anna, but don’t put yourself in danger.” Nigel patted Justin’s face. The fear still took hold of him. “I can understand that you want to keep her safe, but you need to be healthy and strong to shield her from harm.

“How are you going to protect her when you are a lifeless corpse?” Gregory was lost for words.

Justin made a face. “Ahem. Grandpa, can’t you say something nice? Why are you talking about death when I just came out of a coma?” “Geez, you get it. You know what I’m trying to say.” Nigel drew close to his ear and whispered, “I’ll let you in on a secret. Your wife is amazing.” Wife?

Justin turned red in the ears as his heart skipped a beat.

“Anna performed the surgery on you. It took her more than ten hours to remove all the blood clots in your head.” “Bella… She operated on me?” Justin was stunned.

“A shocker, right? I wasn’t expecting that either. Anna turns out to be the legendary Dr. Brown. Sigh. What should we do now? That child is highly competent, and I don’t think you are good enough for her.” Nigel lamented, feeling anxious for his grandson.

It took a while for Justin to reel in the shock. He gritted his teeth and stayed firm on that note. “I will work hard to become outstanding. I will shield her from harm and make her the happiest woman.” “Ha. You’ll be lucky not to give her any trouble.” Gregory sneered at the thought of losing a capable daughter-in-law. “I wanted you to stay together and not divorce, but you refused to listen. Your heart was set on being with Rosalind. I think it’s too late to make amends now.” Justin frowned, but before he could say anything, Nigel jumped in and snarled, “Tsk. You’re not getting any younger, and yet you have not learned to keep your unhelpful thoughts to yourself. Why do you have to bring up that woman? At least my grandson came back to his senses in time and left that vile woman, unlike a certain somebody who’s still stuck in a rut. The nerve of you to lecture Justin!” “Dad-” Gregory saw red. He was about to refute him when his phone rang.

He pulled out his phone to take a look. Gregory was happy to find his eldest son calling from abroad.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 708-“Why the sudden call, son?” Gregory beamed. His affectionate tone was unlike his usual haughtiness.

Justin’s lashes fluttered.

As far as Justin could remember, Gregory had never once spoken to him like a father would to a son. Gregory had never used the term son” on him either.

Gregory was only a benevolent father to Grant. Sure enough, Gregory only considered Grant his son because Shannon was the love of his life.

Even though Justin found it ironic, there was nothing he could say or do about it.

“How have you been doing, Dad?” Grant’s husky voice came on the other end of the line.

Grant’s voice was deep and highly identifiable, so Justin could hear. the conversation despite the distance.

“I’m doing well. What about you, son? How is your treatment coming along in Meridan? Is all going well? Any relapse lately?” Gregory had flown to Meridan to visit his eldest son last year. However, he had been too busy this year to make time.

“I’m very well. Don’t worry.” Grant paused and asked with concern, “I heard that Justin was injured and admitted to the hospital. How is he doing? Is everything okay?” Justin furrowed his brows.

He had nothing against Grant’s show of concern. However, he was surprised that Grant caught wind of his recent encounter despite years of being away from Savrow.

Gregory answered, “Justin had a major surgery and was in a coma for a few days, but he has regained consciousness now.” Grant asked, “Are you in the hospital with Justin?” “Yes. Your grandfather and I are in his ward as we speak.” “Can you hand the phone to Justin? I want to talk to him.” Heeding Grant’s request, Gregory walked over and gave the phone to Justin. “Your brother wants to talk to you.” Justin took the phone hesitantly and put it to his ear. “Grant.” “I was anxious to hear that you were badly injured, Justin. I wanted to fly back and see you, but-” Grant’s voice was filled with worry.

“I’m fine, Grant. You’re not in the best of health to take a flight. You don’t need to put yourself through that for me.” Justin smiled and comforted him. “I’m fine now, really. Don’t worry.” “Did Ms. Thompson perform the surgery on you?” The man hid his shock. “Yes.” “I know Ms. Thompson was my sister-in-law and that you divorced this year. Still, she was kind and understanding enough to overlook the past and operate on you. Even though you can’t continue as husband and wife, you should remain cordial with her. Ms. Thompson has a kind heart and has shown herself to be the bigger person.” Justin pursed his lips.

Grant knew everything about Justin, despite being in Meridan.

“It’s my fault that Bella and I aren’t together anymore, Grant. I was blind and brought this upon myself. I owe her too much.” Justin clenched his fists, his eyes turning bloodshot as he made up his mind. “I have decided to pursue Bella. Even if it takes the rest of my life, I will get Bella back.

“She’s the only wife for me.” Gregory was shocked.

It appeared Justin was determined to get back together with Bella, even at the cost of a lifetime.

Although there was no doubt Bella outshone most women in the world, Justin was throwing his life away for one woman. It was not worth it.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 709-“Well said! You couldn’t have said it better.” Thrilled, Nigel patted Justin’s shoulder a little too hard.

It was silent on the other end of the line before a chuckle was heard Grant said encouragingly, “It’s great that you think so. I hope you and Ms. Thompson will get back together soon.” “Thank you, Grant,” Justin murmured.

For some reason, there was something about Grant’s tone that did not sit well with Justin.

Nigel took over the call and said affectionately, “Grant, how’s life in Meridan? I heard Golden Bay is breathtaking. When are you taking me there for vacation? I could do a day out in the sun.” “Nothing beats home, Grandpa. Home is where the heart is.” Grant uttered with a tender smile, “The journey to Meridan is too long for you, Grandpa. You’re not getting any younger. I don’t want to put you through that. Maybe it won’t take long for me to get better and meet you back in Savrow.” Justin did not show his uneasiness.

“Hahaha! That would be great. It will be best if you can come back, Grant. Our family will be together again.” Nigel sighed with concern. “But don’t strain yourself. I understand how you are doing.

“I won’t blame you if you can’t make it back. I can always visit you. It’s just a 14-hour flight. We have a private jet. It’s no trouble for me at all.” The pair chatted for a bit before hanging up.

“Dad, did Grant say that he’s coming back? Is it true?” Gregory’s eyes lit up as he asked frantically.

Nigel’s eyes flickered, but before he could answer, Matt knocked on the door and stepped into the ward.

“Ms. Thompson, Mr. Hoffman, and Ms. Carrie are here.” “Who? Carrie is here too?” Amid Gregory’s surprise, Bella and Ryan walked into the room.

Ryan entered the ward hand-in-hand with Carrie.

He held her hand openly, with nothing to hide.

Carrie hid behind the man shyly, her face blushing with embarrassment.

Bella was with them all the way. Despite her strong feelings about their relationship, she could say nothing at all.

She could not stop Carrie from seeing Ryan when they were in love with each other.

“Ryan, you-” Gregory stared at the interlocking fingers of the young, beautiful couple in shock.

“Uncle Greg.” Ryan smiled brightly.

Everybody was baffled.

Bella clutched her chest and glared at Ryan.

Ryan would often address Gregory formally, so it was unlike him to address Gregory as such.

Gregory tensed up. “What’s the meaning of this, Ryan?” Ryan took a deep breath and raised his hand with Carrie’s before speaking the words he had rehearsed all night.

“Uncle Greg, Carrie and I are madly and passionately in love. I have fallen head over heels for your daughter. My love for her is undying, unfathomable, and unstoppable…” Bella and Justin had a facepalm moment. Ryan’s speech was something else.

“S-Stop it, Ryan. I feel so embarrassed.” Unable to take it anymore, Carrie gave his hand a squeeze. Her face went red.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 710-“I implore that you entrust Carrie to me Despite my past, I will work to become a good man and the only man for Carrie. I will treat her right, even better than Justin toward Ms. Thompson, and I swear on my life to make her the happiest woman. I love Carrie. I hope you will give me your blessing to date Carrie with the intention of marrying her.” Nervous, Ryan gripped Carrie a little too tightly, and his voice trembled.

Bella looked askance at Ryan. Her expectations for Ryan were low since Justin served as the benchmark for relationships.

Justin stared at Ryan peevishly, doubting the latter could do better than him.

Ryan’s expression hardened, and his prepared speech tumbled out in a rush. Yet, his eyes held an undeniable sincerity.

The words must have been weighing on him for a long time.

Nigel let out a wry smile. Ryan reminded him too much of Justin.

“Ahem. I’m not suspecting you of anything. I just-” Even though Gregory had been in the business world for over three decades, he was overwhelmed by the young man for a change. He quickly pulled himself together and looked Ryan in the eye. “As at father, I hope my daughters will find the right men and start a family. together. But I need to make a few things clear-” “I know what you’re about to say.” Ryan could not look any more serious. “Say no more. I get it. I know everything about Carrie. She’s the only woman for me. We have kept it real, sharing everything, including a bed-” “What? Don’t tell y-y-you slept with my precious….” Nigel pointed at Ryan, shuddering with fear.

Ryan waved his arm in a panic. “You got the wrong idea, Grandpa Nigel! I never laid a finger on Carrie. Don’t take things the wrong way.” Carrie did not get it at first. At that point, she blushed hard and buried her head in the man’s arms.

Bella curled her lips as Carrie relied on Ryan.

It was a much-needed assurance for Bella.

If Ryan were the man destined for Carrie, she would still pick him even when the world stood against her.

The situation was just like back when Bella put everything on the line and chose Justin.

Ryan’s out-of-the-blue confession was a heavy blow-to Gregory.

However, now was not the time to talk about it, so Gregory put the matter aside.

“Justin!” Carrie paced toward the bed, her eyes reflecting worry. “Ryan said you injured your head. How do you feel? Does it hurt?” Justin caressed his sister’s face and replied tenderly, “It doesn’t hurt. Your sister-in-law saved me. She took great care of me.” Papter 710.

Ryan was jealous of the bond between Justin and Carrie, even thought they were siblings.

“That’s great to hear.” Carrie suddenly grabbed Bella’s hand and dangled it. She asked eagerly, “Can you stay with Justin, Bella? Can you take care of him.

until his release from the hospital? He’ll be happy and get better soon if you stay by his side.” As her heart skipped a beat, Bella pressed her lips together.

Justin gazed at her with anticipation. He looked like a lonely, stray puppy with tears in his eyes.

The siblings knew exactly how to manipulate her emotions.

“I won’t shy away from my responsibility because your brother was injured because of me.” Bella curled her lips. “I will nurse him back to health.” “Yay!” Carrie clapped her hands excitedly.
