Ch. 731..740
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 731-How could Justin control someone else’s dreams?
However, he was indeed an asshole in the past, probably leaving quite a shadow in Bella’s heart.
“Why don’t you try to contact Mr. Asher? We know that Young Madam has returned to Hatchbay, and Mr. Asher will definitely know Young Madam’s whereabouts!” lan racked his brains and thought of an idea.
Justin glanced at him coldly. “I am the president of the Salvador Corporation. How could I fail to find one person and even have to call her family? What if Asher doesn’t know where she is? Do I have to call all her brothers? Get lost! You’re an eyesore.” “Yes, sir. I’ll take my leave now!” lan knew Justin was in a bad mood, so he quietly retreated.
After he closed the car door, Justin immediately took his p and dialed Asher’s number.
“Mr. Salvador, are you feeling better?” Asher’s tone was calm revealing no other emotions.
“Is Bella with you?” Justin sounded a little anxious.
“Bella is not with me. Why? Are you unable to contact my sister?” Justin heaved a sigh. “She didn’t pick up my calls. I called her seve times.” “Oh, that’s expected.” Justin was rendered speechless.
“I’m not sure where Bella went. She’s not a kid anymore. She doesn’t need to report her whereabouts to me. In the past, she even lost contact with us for a few years to be with you.” “For me? She didn’t contact her family for years? Why?” Justin was surprised and questioned sensitively.
Noticing that he had slipped up, Asher quickly changed the topic. “Mr. Salvador, is there anything urgent you need Bella for? Does your head hurt?” “No. I’m just worried about her.” “There’s no need. Bella always knew how to avoid danger and protect herself. When she wants to meet you, she will naturally appear. If you can’t reach her, it means she doesn’t want to see you for the time being.” Listening to Asher’s words, Justin felt as if his heart was pricked by needles. Although it was not fatal, the tingling pain spread throughout his body.
After hanging up, he fell into a daze and despair. His phone was drenched with sweat from his palms.
However, Asher’s words caused a ripple in his heart.
Bella did not contact her family for a few years. Coincidentally, he had the same experience.
During those years when she left home, what did she do? Where did she go? Why had he never heard of her mentioning it?
After entering the racecourse, Christopher still grabbed Bella’s hand tightly without letting go.
“Chris? Chris? Christopher!” Christopher returned to his senses after Bella called him three times.” What?” Bella pursed her lips, glaring at him. She lowered her gaze and looked at their clasped hands.
“Sorry, Bella. I was too fired up just now. I apologize.” Christopher’s eyes flickered as he slowly released her hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
They were both unmarried adults, and Bella had been divorced once. She was not a teenage girl who knew nothing. If she fixated on holding hands with a man, it might seem pretentious.
Bella took a deep breath and said seriously, “Why didn’t you them who you were earlier? If you make it clear, there will be no misunderstanding, and you don’t need to resort to violence.” “Bella, do you think they’d let me in if I told them my identity?” Christopher smiled mockingly. “They would only inform my broth and I would be denied entry anyway. The results would be the same Bella did not press further. She had no intention of meddling in the Iverson brothers’ fight. It was not something an outsider like her could manage.

“Chris, why did you bring me to a racecourse? To ride a horse?” “I want you to see a horse. I guarantee you’ll love it.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 732-As he spoke, Christopher could not help but want to hold Bella’s hand again.
Suddenly recalling her discomfort, his hand paused mid-air, his fingers trembling and curling slightly.
Bella’s heart tightened along with his trembling fingers.
At this moment, Christopher’s secretary ran over, panting with sweat on his forehead.
“Mr. Christopher! Things are bad!” Christopher frowned. “What’s wrong?” “Mr. Charles has taken the horse you wanted to give Ms. Bella to the racecourse.” Upon hearing it, Christopher adjusted his glasses, his eyes burning with rage. His expression turned frosty.
On the other side, Charles had his horse trainer lead a well- proportioned and majestic Akhal-Teke with a shiny coat for display to the guests he invited.
“Mr. Charles, this horse is a rare treasure! I’ve only heard of it before. It’s my first time seeing it!” “This horse must cost at least ten million!” “Thirty thousand? You’ve underestimated it.” Charles could not hide his smile as he gently stroked the Akhal-Teke’s silky ky coat. “This Akhal-Teke is a rare breed from overseas. There are not many of them. This horse is worth at least $15 million.” The guests exclaimed and took out their phones to take pictures.
They could afford it, but they would much rather use the money to buy sports cars, villas, or yachts. If they bought a horse, the maintenance fees would be extravagant. Only extremely wealthy families like the Iversons, Thompsons, and Salvadors would own such an expensive pet..
“Come. Give me a hand. I want to see if this horse runs well.” Charles rubbed his palms and grabbed the saddle, about to climb onto the horse.
“Who allowed you to touch my belongings?” Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, taking everyone present by surprise!
“Fuck!” Charles was also frightened. He missed a step and fell off the horse.
Luckily, the horse trainer quickly caught him, but he still looked embarrassed.
“Oh! Mr. Charles, be careful!” The guests acted concerned, but they were suppressing their laughter.
Charles gritted his teeth and pushed the horse trainer away. He turned around and glared fiercely at the two figures that approached.
It was Bella and Christopher. A handsome couple like them was a feast for the eyes!
“Look! Who is that woman? She’s so pretty. She looks familiar!” “It’s Wyatt Thompson’s daughter, Bella Thompson!” “The man beside Ms. Bella is… Oh God! They look perfect together!” “I remember now! He’s Lance Iverson’s fourth son, who just returned to the country! I didn’t know he was so close to Ms. Bella. He must be an extraordinary man!” Seeing that Christopher stole his spotlight in a scene he set up, Charles was so furious that his eyes turned red.
Bella did not pay attention to Charles’ ever-changing expression.
Her lips parted as she stared at the shiny Akhal-Teke, letting out a sigh of admiration.
“Beautiful… It’s so beautiful.” Christopher turned around and looked at the radiant woman beside him. His gaze turned gentle as he smiled softly.
“Christopher, why did you come over?” Charles straightened his back and patted the dust off his body with a plastered smile.
“Charles, how’s my horse? Does it really make you so proud to flaunt someone else’s belongings everywhere?” Christopher tilted his head and glanced at Charles disdainfully. “If you really want it, you could just ask to borrow it from me. What’s the point of secretly taking possession of it?” “You…” Charles turned green from the embarrassment.
“But even if you ask, I won’t lend it to you.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 733-Upon hearing these words, Charles’ expression fell.
The crowd was stunned. Christopher Iverson spoke so arrogantly, and his attitude was provocative.
They started whispering to each other.
“These two Iverson brothers don’t seem to get along well, huh?” “Don’t get along well? They look like enemies!” “Did Mr. Christopher say the horse belongs to him? Does it mean Mr.
Charles touched his stuff without telling him?” “Isn’t this inappropriate?” The murmurs reached Charles’ ears, and he could not bear it anymore. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Christopher, it’s just a horse. Do you need to say such words in front of so many people?” “Yes.” Christopher’s delicate brows furrowed as he said aggressivel were an ordinary horse, I would be generous enough to let you h But this is a gift I intended for Bella. She hasn’t even seen it, yet you’ve already touched it. Do you think it’s appropriate?” Bella’s excited gaze still lingered on the Akhal-Teke. When she hea Christopher’s words, her eyes widened!
“Charles, how did you become more disgraceful over the years?” Christopher did not conceal his mockery, not even with his brother. ” Didn’t Dad tell you that touching someone else’s belongings without permission is rude?” Charles felt as if Christopher’s words were a slap in the face. His composure cracked.
He did not care about the guests he invited. However, the humiliation. multiplied a hundredfold with Bella’s presence. Anger surged in his veins.
“Since you wanted to give this horse to Ms. Bella, why did you tie it up here? If you tie it here, I’ll assume it’s a horse from our family’s racecourse. I am an Iverson. Can’t I take it out for a walk?” Christopher pushed his glasses. His lips curled into a sneer. “If you’re tied up here, does it mean I could take you out for a walk too?” “You!” Someone in the crowd could not suppress their laughter. Charles’ face flushed with anger, and he took a step forward, clenching fists.
If his secretary had not stopped him, Charles would have rushed and grabbed Christopher’s collar!
“Chris, it’s not a big deal. Don’t ruin the mood.” Bella lightly touched Christopher’s arm and said, “Let us not disturb Mr. Charles and his guests. We can walk around somewhere else.” “Okay.” Christopher went forward to take the horse’s leash and left with Bella under everyone’s watchful gaze.
At this moment, he was like Prince Charming, strolling under the starry sky with his beloved princess.
Charles gritted his teeth in hatred. He hated how Christopher humiliated him in public. Even more so, he hated how Christopher brought Bella around the racecourse as if they were on a date, treating him like he was invisible!
In the lounge, Charles angrily downed a glass of whiskey, then smashed the glass on the floor.
“Bastard… He’s just a stupid mutt. Why is he acting all arrogant?” “Mr. Charles, he’s not arrogant because he has an Akhal-Teke. He’s arrogant because he has a reason to humiliate you in front of the guests,” Charles’ secretary huffed.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 734-Charles glared at him. “Do you mean that I gave him the chance to humiliate me?” “No! Please don’t take my words wrongly. I’m just feeling indignant for you! After all, you’re the one appointed by Chairman Iverson to marry Ms. Bella!” Cold beads formed on the secretary’s forehead.
“I don’t need you to feel indignant on my behalf. I need ideas!” Charles was so agitated that he started breathing irregularly, and his hand trembled.
Seeing this, the secretary hastily brought a new glass and filled it with whiskey. Charles drank it in one gulp, slowly calming down.
Who would have thought that the graceful and well-mannered man was actually a manic man who needed alcohol to numb his nerves and could not control his emotions?
“If that guy made you mad, you should return the favor. At least, you shouldn’t let him have a smooth and happy date with Ms. Bella,” the secretary said in a low voice.
Charles’ eyes lit up as if he were inspired. After pondering for a moment, he hooked his fingers at the secretary.
“I have an idea. Go and handle it for me now.” Unable to contact Bella or get information from Asher, Justin was on pins and needles.
He even began to have heart palpitations and hallucinations. There a buzzing sound in his ears.
was “Mr. Salvador, the chairman has an important social event ongoing now. He wants you to be there immediately. Since you’ve just recovered and have not appeared in public for a long time, tonight is crucial as it marks your first appearance.” As the president’s secretary, lan was always reliable on important matters. “You are the president and the heir appointed by Chairman Salvador. You need to attend such events to show that you are well and stable.” Justin frowned and said nothing, merely staring blankly at the dark screen of his phone.
“Mr. Salvador, you can be in love, but it shouldn’t be your whole world.” lan sighed helplessly. “I know you’re worried about Young Madam, but she is an adult with a noble status. She has many brothers protecting her, and she’s more than capable of protecting hers What could possibly happen to her? You’ve never been such an irrational person. A man needs to prioritize his career.” “Do you think it’s wrong for me to care about her?” Justin’s brows scrunched together.
lan was speechless. “That’s not what I mean.” “In the past, I worked like a tireless and rigid robot. I had a wife, but never took her seriously. At that time, nothing was more important than work to me. I felt that if I lost my status, I would’ve lost everything.” Justin closed his eyes slowly. “After Bella left, I finally realized that I was nothing without her by my side… Everything I possessed had become meaningless.” So what if he stood at the top of the social pyramid?
He still felt the pain of losing the woman he loved the most.
“Mr. Salvador, how can you say this? You’ve always told me that you strive to stand at the top even if there’s no one up there with you because you need the power to protect the people around you. You wanted fame and success to fulfill your responsibility to your deceased mother!” lan spoke anxiously.
Justin’s eyelashes fluttered.
Thinking of his mother’s tragic death, he felt suffocated, the pain in his heart overwhelmingly clear.
“Moreover, you should not choose between love and career. If you only knew to please Young Madam and neglected your work, what would happen when you ended up worse off than Young Mad lan pursed his lips. “Do you want her to provide for you? That’s embarrassing…” Justin narrowed his eyes, his chest filled with annoyance.
Although lan’s words were unpleasant, they were not without reaso “Prepare the car. We’re leaving now.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 735-“The Akhal-Teke was known as the Ferrari of horses and a national treasure. I used to pester Wyatt to give me one, but he was afraid of a horse-riding accident and didn’t allow me to get too close to a horse.” Under the lights, Bella excitedly caressed the horse’s shiny gold coat. The feeling made her heart race.
Suddenly, her throat dried. An image flashed in her mind. It was Justin’s naked, muscled, and well-defined chest.
Bella felt a tingling sensation at her fingertips. Her cheeks burned, and a blush appeared.
When that man pressed down on her and completely unleashed himself, he was like a wild and untamed horse as well.
“Bella, do you like it? Bella?” “Oh.” Bella snapped out of her daze and quickly touched her burning cheeks, her eyes watery. “Yes. Horses are my favorite animal.” Damn it. How could seeing a fine horse make her think of that of a man?
Christopher silently walked behind her, his tall figure casting a silhouette that covered her.
He stared at her beautiful side profile with a gentle gaze. “I remember. When we were young, you told me you loved horses.
Becoming an equestrian athlete has always been your dream.” “It was indeed my dream at that time.” Bella’s lips curled up slightly. “But it’s no longer my dream now. I know I am unsuitable to become an athlete in various aspects.” She did not mind Christopher frequently bringing up memories of when they were young, even if she could not remember some.
However, she felt that the biggest difference between them was that she always looked forward, while Christopher seemed to be living in the past.
“Bella, what is your dream now?” Christopher’s fist tightened. He wanted to hug her. His chest surged as he breathed heavily.
“For a long time, I wanted to become an outstanding doctor.” She could not fight with Justin, but she could be his best support.
She prayed for Justin to return from the battlefield safely, but if he was hurt, she wanted to be the one to bandage his wounds.
“Now… I don’t have a dream anymore.” Bella felt numb and in pain. Only a faint smile remained on her lips. Now, I just want to reap the benefits without sowing the seeds, enjoy the results without effort, and achieve success through a shortcut.” “Oh? Bella, can you read my mind?” Christopher chuckled softly in her ear. “We have the same thought.” Bella raised an eyebrow. “You’re not even thirty yet, but you want to spend your life doing nothing? That’s too unambitious!” “You misunderstood. I merely hope that my future wife will have no worries for the rest of her life.” Bella felt Christopher’s warm breath on her earlobe. His eyes turned red with desire as he said, “It’s only right for my woman to enjoy all the pleasures in life without having to work for them. Only a useless man would let his partner suffer.” Bella’s breath hitched. She wondered if she was overthinking it.
Christopher’s words were gentle on the surface, but they seemed to conceal a hint of derision directed at a certain someone.
Suddenly, there was a deafening neigh in the empty and silent racecourse.
“Mr. Christopher! Ms. Bella! Look out!” A sudden gust of wind kicked up yellow sand and dust.
Bella turned back and widened her eyes in shock. A black horse broke through the fence and charged toward them!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 736-Bella’s eyes widened in shock, and her body tensed up as her red lips.
trembled.
Despite her usual quick-witted nature, the sudden situation caught her off guard. After all, dealing with a purebred racehorse was like facing a powerful sports car.
If every human could react this quickly, perhaps the world would be free of accidents.
“Mr. Iverson!” The secretary screamed at the top of his lungs. He rushed over desperately to protect his boss, but it was already too late.
The black horse went out of control, charging onto the racing track with red eyes and erratic breath.
Bella panicked, and though she wanted to escape, her legs felt glued to the ground. Frozen in place, Bella closed her eyes.
“Bella!” Just then, Christopher swooped in with his arms outstretched. He tightly embraced her, and in a mid-air flip, they crashed heavily to the ground on the other side.
“Thud!” Dust swirled around as the two of them fell to the ground together. Christopher’s back hit the ground first, with Bella protected in his embrace. Despite some minor scrapes, she was virtually unscathed.
Chanth Me Despite that, the force of impact on her body was so strong that it created intense discomfort throughout her body. One could only envision the pain Christopher must have endured when his body.
collided with the ground.
“Chris! Are you alright?!” Bella panicked, her eyes turning red.
“I… I’m fine! Be careful!” Christopher’s face turned ashen, momentarily forgetting his own pain.
He tightened his hold on Bella and rolled to the side with all his might!
“Neigh-!” The black horse suddenly turned around and raised its front hooves!
“Ah-!” Christopher felt a sharp pain in his back, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His suit was almost soaked through with sweat.
“Chris!” Bella felt suffocated. The secretary and two horse trainers rushed over and worked together to subdue the rampaging horse by.
administering a powerful sedative.
Under the effects of the sedative, the horse gradually calmed down.
Its bloodshot eyes also cleared up.
“Mr. Iverson! Mr. Iverson!” The secretary ran over in tears, only to see Christopher lying on the ground, pale and unable to stand. He was at a loss for what to do.
“How do you handle these beasts?” The secretary berated the two horse trainers. “If anything happens to my boss, the two of you won’t be able to shirk responsibility!” The two horse trainers trembled in fear, their legs shaking uncontrollably… “Forget about that for now. Saving Chris is the priority!” Bella’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as she gently laid Christopher down on the ground. She instructed the secretary to call for an ambulance immediately. Then she began to feel his body for injuries.
“Where does it hurt? How are you feeling? While you’re still conscious, tell me everything!” Bella adopted a doctor’s tone.
Seeing the concern in Bella’s expression, Christopher couldn’t help but smile faintly. He was delighted. “Bella, seeing how much you care about me, I don’t feel any pain at all.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 737-“Christopher! Seriously, now is not the time for jokes!” Bella exclaimed anxiously. Her voice was several octaves higher than normal.
Christopher dared not tease her further. Enduring the intense pain, he softly said, “My arm and my back are both hurting a bit.” Before he could finish speaking, Bella’s movements froze as she palpated his broken arm. The feeling of the protruding bone sent a shiver through her..
“Bella, it’s okay…” Christopher gently said as he gazed deeply at her.
“Okay? Dude, your arm is broken!” Bella yelled at him, her eyes reddening. Despite being the one injured, Christopher was comforting her instead. It made her feel even more guilty.
“Don’t worry. I’ll mend any bone you break. Even if you shattered every bone in your body, I’d piece them back together. I’ll take full responsibility for you!” Bella vowed.
Full responsibility.
Christopher felt a warmth spreading in his heart. No woman had ever boldly offered to take responsibility for him in all his life.
Bella dared to do what others wouldn’t, and that was one of the reasons he was deeply infatuated with her.
“This is really strange!” One of the horse trainers scratched his head thes in confusion. “This black horse is usually the gentlest, most obedient one in our stable. It’s usually extremely timid. Why did it suddenly lose control today?” The secretary glared at him irritably. “Who the hell are you asking?!
Don’t you have any idea what’s going on? Useless!” “Usually, horses exhibit such abnormal behavior when they are severely frightened.” Bella pondered seriously.
“How is that possible?” Another horse trainer added, “This little black one has been staying in the stable all along. No one touched it or let it out. How could it suddenly become frightened and lose control?” Upon hearing this, both Bella and Christopher’s faces darkened.
The Savrow International Convention Center was hosting a high- profile gathering of business tycoons.
Gregory was engaged in lively conversations and toasts with familiar business tycoons.
“Chairman Salvador! Long time no see!” Gregory turned in surprise as Cameron approached with a champagne glass in hand and a sly smile on his face.
“Oh, Vice Chairman Thompson, what a pleasant surprise.” Gregory nodded lightly.
Compared to Cameron’s warmth, Gregory’s attitude was notably distant. Despite Cameron being Wyatt Thompson’s only brother and holding the title of vice chairman at the KS Group, it was a well-kept secret that the majority of KS Group shares and industries were still controlled by Wyatt Thompson and his children. Even within the company hierarchy, Cameron lacked authority compared to his nephew, Asher, who was the CEO of the KS Group.
Asher, being the legitimate son and eldest of Wyatt’s children, was destined to inherit the company. In a few years, Cameron’s role as second-in-command would diminish and be rendered completely powerless. He would soon be overshadowed by his own nephew.
The business world has always been this ruthless. Although Gregory disliked Wyatt, at least Wyatt’s status warranted a conversation with . him. Cameron, on the other hand, was a different story.
“Vice Chairman Thompson, isn’t Chairman Thompson joining us today? Are you here alone?” Another mogul inquired curiously.
“My elder brother has been busy dealing with family matters lately, so he couldn’t make it,” Cameron replied, feigning concern with a sigh. My brother’s third wife had some trouble recently. You must have heard about it, right? They say she’s been bedridden these days, barely clinging to life. My brother is worried and has been by her side day and night. How could he have the heart to attend any events?”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 738-Gregory remained composed upon hearing the remarks, though his eyes hinted at a mix of emotions.
“Oh dear, I’ve heard about that incident before. It’s been so many years, yet someone still brings it up. They really have nothing better to do!” Gregory spoke with a hint of disdain.
“Jealousy, that’s what it is! Seeing someone receive endless congratulations on their birthday, marry into wealth, and be as beautiful as a flower can make others green with envy. It’s common for people to resort to backstabbing and spreading rumors behind the scenes. Even the artists in my entertainment company engage in such petty squabbles all the time. It’s ridiculous!” Gregory tightened his lips, furrowing his brow.
Though the comments weren’t directed at anyone specific, they still stung nonetheless.
“Chairman Thompson is truly a person of integrity and loyalty,” someone chimed in. “Despite Madam Celeste being a former actre and only giving birth to a daughter for Chairman Thompson, he h not once mistreated her. It speaks volumes about his character!” The guests nodded in agreement, prompting Cameron to smile awkwardly, feeling disgruntled inside.
Cameron had thought bringing up this matter would make others poke fun at Wyatt’s expense, but it backfired, earning his elder brother a wave of praise instead.
Chapjes 245 ‘Were these people so blind to power and influence that they’d even fawn over Wyatt if he messed up?’ Cameron thought.
Gregory glanced at his watch and scanned the room, but Justin was nowhere in sight.
“Chairman Salvador, on such an important occasion tonight, why hasn’t Mr. Salvador arrived yet?” Cameron asked tentatively.
Gregory replied, “Oh, he’ll be here shortly.” “Really? That’s great!” Cameron’s eyes lit up, his tone becoming more enthusiastic.” Actually, our group has a great project underway, focusing on environmental protection, which is currently receiving strong support from the government. My elder brother has entrusted it to me, and I’m looking for potential partners.” He briefly explained the project, and Gregory nodded, showing a hint of interest.
“My daughter, Cecily, has proposed two excellent collaboration proposals recently. She’ll be joining us later. After the party, a meeting where you and your son can join us for a deeper discussion if you’re interested,” Cameron said, seizing the oppo “Your daughter?” Gregory furrowed his brow.
P “Yes, I only have one daughter, Cecily Thompson. She’s the same ag as my brother’s daughter, Bella, just four months younger. She studied at the top university in Helionis, receiving a full scholarship every year. She even served as a translator for the President of Helionis. After returning to Savrow, she joined KS Group based on her own merit and is currently serving as the Director of the Product Design Department,” Cameron proudly introduced his daughter, as if he were promoting a high-end product he had personally crafted.
The guests nearby couldn’t help but think to themselves, ‘We all know your daughter doesn’t need merit to enter KS Group…’ “Ah, truly an outstanding woman,” Gregory praised with forced enthusiasm.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll arrange it after the party!” Cameron declared.
Gregory was slightly taken aback. ‘Settled? Who said it’s settled?’ Though Gregory wasn’t young anymore, he wasn’t naive. Could he not see that Cameron’s intention to discuss business with him was just an excuse? The real goal was to introduce his daughter, creating an opportunity for their children to meet.
“Vice Chairman Thompson, my father hasn’t agreed yet. How could you say it’s settled?” Justin’s cold and direct voice interrupted their conversation.
All eyes turned as Justin approached, exuding a cool elegan dark, aloof eyes.
“Justin, why did you come so late?” Gregory complained but sec felt relieved.
The smile on Cameron’s face froze for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Justin coolly interrupted, “If this is a genuine.
business discussion, Vice Chairman Thompson, you could have chosen a more appropriate time instead of rushing into things. At the very least, we should follow the proper procedures for scheduling a thing we went dose rugh for impromptu meetings ne then try t
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 739-The crowd was stunned by Justin’s extremely blunt and straightforward words.
Although these business tycoons maintained a stoic expression, there was a subtle sense of disdain toward Cameron.
While it was acceptable for businessmen to discuss business, Cameron’s intentions were too apparent. His sudden invitation, along with the idea of bringing along his daughter, didn’t go unnoticed.
Cameron probably didn’t expect Justin to be so straightforward. His blunt response immediately ended his schemes.
The usually stoic Cameron struggled to maintain his smile. “Hahaha!
You’re right, Mr. Salvador. I admit I acted impulsively. I should have scheduled a proper appointment. But I was too excited to see Chairman Salvador tonight, so…” Justin interrupted coldly, “If seeing my father makes you happy, then you should invite him to dinner. My father is the Chairman of the Salvador Corporation. You can just discuss business with him directly.” Justin cast Cameron a disdainful glance before shifting his gaze away. “But I’m curious. Does Chairman Thompson know about you representing the KS Group in negotiations with Salvador Corporation?” Cameron was taken aback. He then smiled. “My elder brother entrusted the project to me and gave me full responsibility. Naturally, I must prioritize cooperation with powerful organizations. If my brother knew we could collaborate with the Salvador Group, he would 1275 be delighted and would fully support it.” Justin smiled and replied, “Would Chairman Thompson still be delighted and give his full support if he knew you met with his ex-son- in-law?” The crowd was left in shock.
Gregory’s brows furrowed as he sternly rebuked, “Justin, why bring this up here?!” Cameron suddenly widened his eyes. His mouth was hanging wide.
open as his mind struggled to process what he just heard.
Wyatt’s ex-son-in-law?!
Justin, the president of the Salvador Corporation, turns out to be the ex-husband of that devilish brat, Bella. When did they get married? When did they get divorced? The Thompson family seemed.
ridiculously secretive about it, as if everyone had been sworn to silence.
“If things aren’t laid out clearly, it could stir up unnecessary trole,” Justin said coldly. “Apart from Chairman Thompson and Bella collaborate with anyone else from the KS Group. I also don’t upset Bella over unnecessary matters such as meeting women privately behind her back, even if it’s her cousin.” The crowd was shocked by Justin’s public declaration of love.
Gregory cleared his throat and shot his son a meaningful glance.” Alright, Justin, there’s no need to be so explicit about certain matters “Haha… I really didn’t know about your relationship with Bella. My apologies for being so abrupt.” Cameron laughed awkwardly. “I didn’ Change: 729 expect you two to be divorced, yet you still defend Bella so passionately. Mr. Salvador, you are truly a sentimental and loyal person.” “The marriage may be over, but my love remains,” Justin said. His eyes softened at the thought of Bella’s captivating smile. “I love Bella. Even though we’re divorced now, I will still win her back in the future.” Cameron’s mind went blank, his face turning pale with embarrassment.
As the reception continued, Cameron stepped into the corridor to take a call from Cecily.
“Hey, Dad, have you arrived at the reception?” Cameron was still upset from his encounter with Justin and wasn’t in the best mood. “I’ve been here for a while. Where are you? Why haven’t you shown up yet?” “Oh, I need to get dressed properly before heading out to such an important event tonight.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 740-Cecily asked with enthusiasm, “Dad, has Mr. Salvador arrived?” “He’s here.” “Have you talked to him about the new project? You must tell him that the plan was my idea.” Cecily said proudly, “A man like Mr. Salvador was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has seen countless charming women and is surely not easily impressed. Only someone as intelligent and beautiful as me can catch Mr. Salvador’s attention. Once he notices me, he’ll be attracted by my talent and eventually fall for me because of my charm.” Her lively and excited tone made it sound like she had already won over Justin. The dream of stepping into the Salvadors’ grand mansion was just a step away!
“Hmph, I advise you not to be too happy too soon,” Cameron wa d in a hushed tone, his gaze dark.
“Dad, what do you mean by that?” “Justin has been divorced once.” “What? Divorced… Once? He’s been married before? When did th happen?” Cecily was extremely shocked.
“How would I know? But that’s not the point. Do you know who his ex- wife is?” Cecily had no clue. As she had been studying and focusing on herself in this year, she paid little attention to family matters.
“It’s your cousin, Bella!” Cameron gritted out the name through his teeth.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, only the sound of breathing.
After a moment, Cecily burst into laughter, almost choking on her breath. “Haha… Dad, are you kidding me? Uncle Wyatt practically worships Bella! If Bella got married, he would have sent invitations to everyone in the Hatchbay! How could he possibly marry off his daughter without making any commotion? Moreover, Justin is the president of the Salvador Corporation. It would have been the wedding of the century! That’s just not possible!” “I don’t know the specific details, but Justin is a divorced man.” “So what if he’s been through a divorce? Even if he’s been divorced multiple times, he’s still a desirable man. I doubt it is Justin’s fault for the divorce. Bella probably couldn’t keep her husband’s heart.” Cecily sneered, “Honestly, I think it’s a good thing that they got divorced. Bella has become a discarded woman. No one else want her. She definitely won’t be able to meddle with me anymore. When see her, I’ll have even more things to mock her with.” “Earlier, Justin openly admitted in front of everyone that he still has feelings for Bella. He declared that he still loved her!
