Ch. 791..800

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 791-Ralph’s voice was icy, his eyes subtly darkening. “So, everything you said earlier about your love for Celeste turning into hatred was bullshit.” Harry’s face twisted into a creepy grin. “So what if you found out? I am indeed a fan of Shannon. I’m obsessed with her to the point that I’ll do anything for her! Even if it’s killing Celeste!” Ralph’s shoulders were shaking with anger. He wished he could charge forward and smash Harry’s face.

“But if you’re wondering about my relationship with Shannon, well, there’s none. We’re not even friends. It’s just me being delusional. I’m willing to do anything for her, including sacrificing myself and murder. I’m fine without her knowing any of this.” With that, Harry closed his eyes, seeming to have accepted his fate.

Harry only dared make such a bold statement because he knew he could only be charged with intentional harm, or at worst, attempted murder, for his crimes. After all, Justin was fine, and Celeste remained unharmed. Even if the Thompsons sought revenge, they would be powerless.

He only felt that it was a pity that he couldn’t fulfill the task Shannon had entrusted him with.

Ralph was well aware of Harry’s thinking. A wave of rage surged within him, and his eyes turned red with fury.

After a while, he instructed his subordinates to leave, then stood up and switched off the recording device.

“Harry, it’s just the two of us now. Let’s speak freely.” Ralph casually paced around the interrogation room. He sat on the table with his hands in his pockets, staring at Harry coldly. “You volunteered to be Shannon’s hitman and do her dirty work. Sure. That’s your decision. But imagine if there’s something more to your relationship with Shannon. If this were to leak to the media, what would they make of it? What if the Salvadors heard rumors about it? How do you think Chairman Salvador would react?” “Everyone would assume Shannon sent you to attack Celeste. Chairman Salvador would suspect there’s something fishy between the both of you. When that happens and you’re tucked away in prison, what about your sweetheart? Her reputation has already taken a hit. If this gets out, she could lose all respect, right?” Bella once told him. ‘To destroy someone, you must first destroy their heart!’ When Harry heard this, his body trembled, causing the handcuffs to clink. His eyes were burning crimson as he glared at Ralph.

“You’re a cop! Revealing the details of an ongoing investigation to the media is against the rules! I’ll report you!” “Do you really believe I’d play by the rules with someone as stubborn and wicked as you?” Ralph lifted his chin slightly, exuding fearlessness. “Let me make it clear, Harry. You’ve not only provoked me, but the entire Thompson family. Since you dare to lay your fingers on Celeste, by all means, I’ll make sure both Shannon and you end up in hell together!” *

3/4 “That guy is the one who stole it!” Shannon muttered incoherently, her eyes darting around in panic.

“Back then, when I was filming, I left the necklace backstage. When I came back, it was gone. It must have been him who stole it!” “Is that so? It was stolen, yet he didn’t sell it for money. Instead, it was carefully kept until now.” Bella couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard her flawed explanation.

“How would I know what he decided to do with it?” Shannon realized she might not be able to outwit Bella’s sharp tongue, so she resorted to acting defiant to the end.

Without concrete evidence, what was Bella capable of doing anyway?

“To be honest, I had someone look into the TS Gem Channel. They talked to people who knew Harry back then, and they all said you two were very close at that time. He didn’t take any money from you, but he was always there for you. He willingly served as your assista making sure you were safe and helping you out whenever need “Tell me, for a man so infatuated with you, why would he steal fro you? And even if he did, it’s probably because he’s in love with you Mrs. Salvador.” Bella’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a smirk that sent shivers down Shannon’s spine. “So, he’s willing to do anything for you, including murder.” “Bella! Shut up!” Shannon was drenched in cold sweat, her voice trembling.

The gazes of the onlookers gradually became skeptical and complex as they watched her.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 792-Gregory’s gaze fell upon Shannon. It was devoid of any warmth or emotion. Bella suddenly changed the subject. “Madam Shannon, did you secretly instruct Mr. Harry to take advantage of the birthday party and attack Aunt Celeste, which led to the previous incident?” “It wasn’t me! Harry acted on his own. I had nothing to do with it!” Shannon desperately clung onto Gregory’s suit, tears blurring her vision as she defended herself. “Greg, I have no reason to harm Celeste,” Shannon insisted. “I am the matriarch of the Salvador family. What move would I have against someone like her, who is merely Wyatt’s mistress?!” ( “Shannon! That’s enough.” Gregory’s tone was stern as he interrupted. “Madam Shannon, you can direct your anger at me, but I won’t tolerate you insulting my family.” Bella’s eyes flashed with anger as she confronted Shannon. She raised her finger and pointed directly at Shannon’s tearful yet sinister face. “If you dare to insult Aunt Celeste again, I’ll slap you too!” A tense silence fell over the room as everyone exchanged uneasy glances. Logan, who was observing from the sidelines, shook his head disapprovingly. “Ms. Thompson’s behavior hardly resembles that of a young lady. She’s too unruly and willful.” Ryan shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s because she’s been spoiled by everyone. Her father, siblings, and even Justin spoil her! It’s no surprise she behaves so recklessly. You should know that Justin has never spoiled a woman in his life. Ms. Thompson is the only exception. No other woman enters his eyes.” Zoe intuitively caught the underlying message in the words, feeling a slap to her pride. Justin’s gaze shifted to Bella. He found her fierce and aggressive appearance irresistible, causing his heart to race uncontrollably. Shannon froze in fear, fully aware of Bella’s reputation for following through on her threats. “Bella… All of this is merely your speculation! You’re slandering me without any evidence!” Shannon protested, convinced that Bella had no concrete evidence to support her accusations. Bella smirked, leaving Shannon speechless and embarrassed. “Could your defensiveness be a sign of guilt?” Bella’s smirk lingere as she reclaimed the necklace, her tone teasing. “As for the specifics of your relationship,” Bella continued, “I think I should ask Mr. Young again. We’ll have answers soon enough. Try to be patient.” Shannon’s nerves coiled at the thought of Harry being in the hands of the cops. “Well, I’ll leave you to your business” Bella said, heading for the door with everyone watching her. Justin clenched his fists, his intense gaze following her every move. Despite the urge to follow, he suppressed the restless feeling in his heart, resisting the impulse. Just as Bella was about to leave, Claire stopped her. “Ms. Thompson, next time you should handle your family matters at the right time and place. At least give Chairman Salvador and Mr. Salvador a heads-up, so nobody feels awkward.” “Awkward? I didn’t feel that.” Bella shrugged, smiling casually. “Next time, toughen up a little, then you won’t feel awkward so easily.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 793-Claire choked at her words, coughing violently.

Bella’s words cut through the tension like a knife. “You’re not even half as sharp as Shannon, yet you dare to challenge me?” “Bella! How dare you speak so rudely to my mother? You’re disrespecting your elders!” Zoe’s voice trembled as she hid behind Logan, using him as a shield while stirring up a commotion.

Justin furrowed his brows as Zoe’s words sank in, his expression betraying his discontent.

“Just because someone is older, are they automatically labeled as an elder? If that’s the case, then I’m your elder too. Is it appropriate for you to raise your voice at your elders?” Bella towered over Zoe.

Her icy glare caused Zoe’s confidence to waver.

Zoe’s lips trembled, unable to retort. She dared not speak out anymore, afraid of what would come out of Bella’s mouth next.

Claire knew Logan wouldn’t cause trouble for Wyatt’s daughter over such a trivial matter, so she silently signaled to Ryan, urging him to step in.

Ryan’s eyes darted with uncertainty as he cleared his throat softly.” Um, Bella, I…” Bella’s stare intensified as she turned her attention to him. Seeing the sudden change in Bella’s demeanor, Ryan quickly changed his tone and said, “I’ll drive you home. It’s not safe this late at night.” “No need. I drove here myself.” With that said, Bella didn’t even glance back as she briskly made her way out, with the sharp click of her high heels echoing through the villa.

Ryan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed and at a loss for words.

Logan let out an irritated snort, finding his grandson, who was known for being bold, suddenly acting meek in front of Bella. It was utterly humiliating!

“Let’s go!” The Hoffman family followed suit, rushing out of the villa.

“Ahh! My head… I feel so dizzy.” Shannon murmured weakly, leaning against Gregory for support, as if she barely had any strength left.

Wilma shot an irritated glance at Shannon and muttered under her breath, “Geez, always playing the victim. With all those acting skills, how did Madam Celeste outshine her for so many years?” Her every word reached Shannon’s ears. She was so angry that fumes were coming out of her ears.

Gregory’s expression turned stiff and pale. After a moment of silence, he quietly instructed, “Wilma, please assist Shannon back to her room.” “I’m sorry, Chairman Salvador, I’m only responsible for Young Master Justin’s needs. I need to run the bath for him now. Perhaps someone else can help take care of Madam Shannon. Besides, she might not want me to serve her either. It could make her feel uncomfortable,” Wilma replied with a defeated tone before bowing and walking away.

Gregory only stood there in silence, his thoughts disarrayed.

Just like that, Justin was left standing there. His expression revealed a mixture of reluctance and anger, as if he were abandoned.

“Justin! Why are you still standing here?” Ryan rushed over and pushed him urgently.

His face was filled with concern. “Bella’s about to leave. This is your chance to explain everything that happened between you and my sister!” Justin felt suffocated, as if there were a heavy stone crushing his chest.

… On their journey back, the Hoffmans rode in two cars, with Logan in one and Claire and Zoe in the other.

Inside the second car, Claire was full of resentment. She had always been shielded since she was young.

In her youth, she found solace in her husband’s protection. As aged, she relied on the steadfast support of her son. When has s ever faced such humiliation as tonight?

“Mom, Ryan publicly humiliated me in front of the Salvadors and Grandpa!” Zoe recounted, her voice trembling with anger. “He’s resorting to any means to stop me from marrying Justin!” Zoe fell into Claire’s arms and cried bitterly, “He only cares about his own happiness. He doesn’t care about my life or death at all! Does he still regard me as his sister now? Am I an enemy in his eyes?

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 794-“Don’t worry, Zoe. This matter won’t end just like that. Mom has got your back.” Claire reassured her daughter, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.

“But Ryan is in charge of everything at home now! Considering he has such a good relationship with Justin and Bella, what can we possibly do?” Claire’s voice dripped with bitterness as she exclaimed, “If your big brother thinks he can control who you love, then he shouldn’t even dream about being together with that Salvador retard. With your grandfather backing us up, he won’t dare to overlook the family’s reputation. He will do everything possible to ensure you end up with Justin. Mark my words. He will never allow Carrie to join the Hoffmans!” “Mom, Ryan has his guard up against us! Won’t he see through our plans?” Zoe’s eyes were red as she screamed in frustration. “He protects tha little slut, Carrie, like she’s his own heart and soul. How are we supposed to do something when he’s watching our every move?” “There will be opportunities. Even if he’s fawning over Shannon’s silly daughter, he can’t be with her every waking moment. There will be times when he’s away.” Claire was truly angry this time.

Normally, she would not bother with such matters. But after witnessing her own daughter being bullied, and with her reputation at stake, she was determined to remove all obstacles and ensure her daughter’s marriage with Justin!

At the same time, she also wanted to find a fitting match for Ryan, a daughter-in-law worthy of their prestigious family.

It certainly wouldn’t be Shannon’s autistic daughter, Carrie.

Bella briskly walked, slipping into her sports car. She stepped on the gas and sped out of Tideview Manor.

As her car turned out of the gate, her grip tightened on the steering wheel.

Standing under the dim streetlights, Christopher leaned against his electric blue sports car, looking elegant and graceful.

It was unclear how long he had been standing there or how long he had been waiting, yet there was not a trace of impatience in his expression.

Seeing Bella’s car appear, his eyes suddenly lit up with anticipation and he straightened away from the sports car, his expression eager as he waved at her like a giddy teenager.

The sports car screeched to a halt, stopping in front of the man.

Bella looked surprised as she stepped out of the car. “Why are you here?” “I was waiting for you,” Christopher replied, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. His gaze was soft.

She was even more puzzled now. “Waiting for me? Why were you waiting for me?” “I found out that your car was heading toward the Salvadors’ manor, so I followed you. I didn’t mean anything else. I was worried that you would be bullied and would have no one around to help.” With a wry smile, Christopher added, “But it turns out I was being foolish. I couldn’t get in, and even if I came, I wouldn’t be able to help you. But being able to see you now, my efforts weren’t in vain.” Bella blinked, feeling a mixture of emotions at his words.

She had always been independent and free, unwilling to be watched or controlled by others.

The thought of someone investigating and silently following her made her uncomfortable.

“I’m fine, just sorting out some personal matters,” Bella replied with a forced smile. “The Salvador family isn’t dangerous. I mean, I lived there for three years, coming and going as I pleased.” ‘Three long lonely years of marriage… Christopher felt a wave of bitterness wash over him.

He was about to speak when his expression suddenly darkened. He noticed Justin standing not too far away, his face blank and sad, blending into the cold, lonely night.

Justin stood silently like a pale and cold sculpture, staring at Bella without blinking, but Bella was completely oblivious.

“Chris, I…” Bella tried to speak when her vision suddenly blurred.

Before she could react, Christopher pulled her into his arms and pressed her tightly against his chest She could even feel his disordered and fiery breath. His arms wrapped around her slender waist, and he slowly tightened his embrace.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 795-“Chris! What are you doing?” Bella exclaimed, flustered. She instinctively pushed against his shoulders. To Justin, her struggles seemed like ambiguous signals of acceptance. Christopher remained silent, only hugging her tighter. He glanced up once more, locking eyes with Justin. His expression was filled with blatant mockery and arrogance. No matter how much Bella struggled, he refused to let her go. Justin’s heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand knives. Every nerve in his body was taut as waves of agony washed over him. ut as waves of agony washed over him. Watching Bella and Christopher embrace felt worse than being physically stabbed. The pain was far worse compared to the injuries he suffered as a soldier. Justin’s face drained of color as he turned away, stumbling back as if he had drunk too much. His body weakened. At that moment, Christopher’s arms loosened, and Bella took the opportunity to break free. She stepped back, her eyes filled with anger. “Mr. Iverson, don’t ever do this again. Consider this your final warning. Otherwise, we won’t even be friends anymore!” “I’m sorry, Bella. I truly am.” Christopher immediately put on an expression of innocence and guilt, his hands suspended in the air, looking incredibly embarrassed. “I know you only see me as a friend, and I’ve been trying to remind myself to maintain my boundaries. But I just lost control at that moment. I promise it won’t happen again. Bella, please forgive me this time. I was just too emotional.” Bella rubbed her forehead impatiently, letting out a heavy sigh. “I really hate it when men other than my brothers touch me. I hope your remember that.” Christopher clenched his teeth. His hands awkwardly hung by his sides with his fists clenched in frustration. He thought, ‘Do you really hate other men touching you? What about Justin? You even allow your secretary, Steven, to be near you. Is it just me that you can’t stand, Bella?’ “Thank you for your concern. It’s late, so I should go back now.” As she said that, she had a deja vu moment and slowly turned to look behind her, only to be disappointed that there was no one there. … Justin stumbled back to the villa, dragging his feet. “Justin!” Ryan was so concerned about his best friend that he didn’t leave with the rest of his family. When he saw Justin returning alone, looking lost and dejected, he hurriedly approached Justin. However, Justin did not even notice Ryan and walked forward in a daze. “Justin Justin Ryan reached out and embraced him, anxiously asking “Where’s Bella? How did your conversation go Has she forgiven you? haven’t done anything wrong Justin’s bloodshot eyes were “Why should I seek her forgiveness Why should I ask for her forgiveness calm yet hollow, as if he had lost his soul Ryan, I’m tired No matter how hard matter how much I chase after her to let her go try to keep her, Fean’t Ne can’t catch up. Perhaps it’s time Chapter 795 3/3 “Justin! Justin!” Ryan reached out and embraced him, anxiously asking, “Where’s Bella? How did your conversation go? Has she forgiven you?” “Why should I seek her forgiveness? I haven’t done anything wrong. Why should I ask for her forgiveness?” Justin’s bloodshot eyes were calm yet hollow, as if he had lost his soul. “Ryan, I’m tired. No matter how hard I try to keep her, I can’t. No matter how much I chase after her, I can’t catch up. Perhaps it’s time to let her go.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 796-Bella’s mind was all over the place as she drove back to her villa in Savrow.

Originally, she went over to confront Shannon, but on the entire drive back, her mind was filled with the memories of Justin pressing her against the wall.

When his eyes were staring at her, she saw her own sad reflection in them.

There was a look of anger and helplessness in his eyes that she could not shake off.

As she recalled his emotional gaze, her fingers tightened around the steering wheel. Her fingers were pale from how hard she was gripping the steering wheel as she pondered.

‘But what does this mean? Even if his gaze was more provoking, it doesn’t change the fact that he couldn’t change his womanizing ways and was secretly involved with Zoe.

Bella got out of her car with a gloomy expression. She looked up to see Asher, Ralph, and Steven waiting for her at the entrance.

“Bella!” “Ash! Ralph! Steve! What are you all doing here? Bella asked in surprise, gathering herself.

“I heard from Ralph that you went to Tideview Manor alone. You didn’t even bring Steve along with you. What was going through your mind, little girl? Why did you go there alone?” Asher sighed with concern, coming forward to put his arm around her shoulders.

“But when I heard that Justin was there too, I was sort of relieved. With him there, at least you won’t be at a disadvantage.” “Why wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage because he’s there?” Bellow frowned and pursed her red lips unhappily.

“Because he’s head over heels for you, so he’ll definitely protect you.” “Hahaha. Ash, this joke isn’t funny at all.” Bella’s heart skipped a beat, and her tone became more critical. “I was married to him for three years. During those three years, I suffered and was bullied by the Salvadors, yet he never spoke up for me. Now, we’re not even friends, so why would he stand up for me?” “Exactly, Ash.” Ralph walked over with his hands in his pockets, sneering. “Justin is a heartless and unscrupulous person. Even though he didn’t like Bella, he married her and made her his wife. He is responsible for protecting her. But look at what he’s done! As the saying goes, a leopard can’t change its spots. Just look at how long he has been pursuing Bella before he started messing around with other women!” “Mr. Ralph, what are you talking about?” Steven was puzzled, oblivious to what was happening.

“I’m talking about Ryan’s annoying sister, Zoe! They were recently caught fucking in a hotel room together!” Ralph’s words were sharp, maybe even sharper than Axel’s or Drew’s.

“Well, Ralph, you definitely have a way with words. Keep going!” Bella nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement.

Asher and Steven were speechless at his crass words and could only lightly cough.

Suddenly, Asher’s gaze fixed on a spot not far behind Bella.

“Mr. Iverson?” Bella blinked in confusion, then turned around in surprise.

In the dim night, Christopher’s sports car was parked not far away.

The engine was off, and the lights were extinguished.

It was quiet, as if it didn’t exist.

Christopher hadn’t gotten out of the car but remained seated in the driver’s seat. He leaned forward, with his arms crossed on the steering wheel, as he stared deeply at her without blinking.

Bella lightly bit her red lips, locking eyes with him.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 797-Bella didn’t bother to greet or approach Christopher.

In the light, Bella could clearly see Christopher slowly lowering his body, burying most of his delicate face in his arms, leaving only a pair of beautiful yet lonely eyes exposed. It was the same pitiful, lonely look from fifteen years ago when she saw him being forced to stand in the rain by Chairman Iverson.

“Yikes. When did he get here? Did he teleport here? There was no sound at all.” Ralph shuddered involuntarily, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Asher looked in Christopher’s direction, then glanced meaningfully at Bella’s complex expression. “Did he follow you to the Salvadors’ manor?” “Yeah.” Just then, the sports car started again. It turned around and drove off in the opposite direction, quickly disappearing into the night.

“What? Did he just leave like that?” Ralph frowned. “Bella, all the guys chasing after you are either scumbags or stalkers. As your brothers, how can we not worry about your safety when you’re out there alone?” “Let’s focus on the matter at hand.” Bella no longer dwelled on Christopher. She directly changed the subject, frowning. “Ralph, how’s the investigation going with Harry? Is he still unwilling to talk?” Ralph sighed in frustration. “It’s going to take longer than expected. That guy is way more loyal than we imagined. He’s completely devoted to Shannon. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were a married couple.” “Actually, I’ve thought about it. If he’s willing to kill for Shannon, getting him to spill the beans won’t be easy.” Bella crossed her arms, her gaze gloomy. “This time, I want you to interrogate him as I instructed and break down that man’s willpower. Once he’s vulnerable, we will strike and destroy his feelings for Shannon.” “Bella, tell me what to do next. We’re with you all the way!” Ralph was already eager and determined to make that despicable scoundrel pay the price.

“Just getting Harry to testify against Shannon isn’t enough.” Bella clenched her fists tightly, her eyes blazing with anger. “For all the pain. Aunt Celeste endured because of her, I want Shannon to pay back a hundredfold!” “Bella, Ralph, I think we should continue digging deeper into the relationship between Harry and Shannon,” Asher suggested calmly, his gaze sharp.

“Shannon asking Harry to target Aunt Celeste was probably an impulsive decision. The fact that a single phone call from Shannon was all it took for that man to do her bidding wholeheartedly without any hesitation suggests that they’ve been in contact all these years.

Who knows? There might be plenty of shady dealings going on behind the scenes. Perhaps he’s been doing her dirty work for years.” Ralph sneered. “Yeah, maybe they’ve got a whole other family hidden away, with Gregory unbeknownst to it.” Bella laughed it off, but her mind wandered involuntarily.

If that were really the case, things would be much simpler. This would be earth-shattering evidence. It would be enough to keep Shannon down for the rest of her life!

However, Shannon’s arrogance and obsession with her status as Mrs. Salvador made Bella wonder if she would really lower herself to have an affair with someone beneath her social level.

Steven clenched his teeth with anger. “Hmph! If they are really having an affair, I hope Bethany is their illegitimate daughter. Then this scheming mother-and-daughter duo can pack up and leave the Salvador family. It’d be justice for you, Ms. Bella!” Bella pondered for a moment, then asked softly, “Ash, has Drew been in touch lately? When is Dr. Arnold Larson coming to Savrow?” “Drew called me and said he’s still sorting things out with Dr. Larson.

He’ll bring him to you as soon as possible.” Asher reassured her, patting her shoulder gently. “Don’t worry, your big brother is here.

Whatever you want, I’ll make it happen. I will do everything in my power to help you.” “I’m here for you too, Bella!” Ralph chimed in eagerly with his arms. raised, his eyes sparkling with determination.

“Me as well, Ms. Bella,” Steven added with a warm smile.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 798-Bella was deeply touched, leaning gently against Asher’s shoulder. She immediately felt all the accumulated fatigue in her body melt away.

• After a night of turmoil, Ryan made his way back to the other home with Carrie, a troubled expression hanging on his face. It was snowing on his way home. By the time the luxury car pulled up to the entrance, Yasmin had been standing there with a large black umbrella, waiting for him for a long time. “Mr. Hoffman, you’re back.” Seeing Ryan getting out of the car, Yasmin hurriedly bowed before covering him with the black umbrella, leaving herself exposed to the snow. “Is Carrie asleep?” Ryan asked eagerly. “Ms. Salvador has been waiting for you to come home. I’ve advised her several times to go to bed, but she refused.” Yasmin replied with a helpless yet affectionate smile. “Don’t blame her. She’s just worried about you.” A warmth flooded Ryan’s heart, prompting him to quickly enter the villa. Concerned that his cold body from the snow outside might affect Carrie, he changed into the pajamas Yasmin had prepared for him downstairs before ascending the stairs, intending to surprise his beloved girlfriend. Ryan gently pushed open the door and noticed that the bedside lamp in the bedroom was still turned on and an open book was lying on the bed. However, the delicate figure that he yearned for was nowhere to be seen. He felt a slight panic in his heart and was about to call out Carrie’s name when he faintly heard rustling sounds coming from the bathroom. Without hesitation, he quickly walked to the bathroom door. Inside, everything suddenly quieted down. Not a sound could be heard. “Carrie?” Ever since Ryan fell in love with Carrie, he treated her like a precious gem, fearing the thought of losing her. His nerves were constantly on edge, and he was always worried about her well-being. When the bathroom became abnormally quiet, he feared that something might have gone wrong. With a forceful kick, he swung the door open, almost sending it flying. “Ah!” Carrie screamed in panic. Her hands instinctively covered her head as she turned to face him. “Uh…” Ryan was taken aback. His throat tightened with a low grunt. His mind went blank as desire clouded his eyes like a storm. His fingers involuntarily curled into a fist. “Aaaahhh!” Carrie screamed once more upon seeing Ryan’s face, tightly shutting her eyes and instinctively crossing her arms over her chest. Her delicate frame trembled in panic as she turned away. But what was the use? The sight of her exposed, fair, and slender back filled Ryan’s eyes and ignited a storm of emotions within Ryan. “Carrie… You… I… We…” Ryan mumbled incoherently. His breath grew heavy, and his eyes were red with desire as he stared at her intently. “I just took a shower, and I didn’t know when you would come back…” Carrie turned her trembling back to him, looking alluring. The steamy bathroom created an ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. Ryan’s forehead was covered in sweat. Unable to control himself, he felt his self-control slip away as he moved toward her.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 799-Carrie heard his heavy footsteps approaching, but she was too frightened to turn around. She clutched her slender shoulders, trembling with fear, resembling a startled little rabbit.

This only served to emphasize Ryan’s tall and imposing figure, resembling a big bad wolf hiding his desires.

“Carrie…” Ryan’s voice caught in his throat, his eyes burning with desire. He hesitantly raised his trembling hand, longing to touch her silky skin. Just then, Carrie shyly whispered.

“I’ve just taken a shower and was applying some lotion. I’ve done everything except for my back. Otherwise, I would have finished earlier and laid down while waiting for you to come home.” Ryan listened quietly, feeling his cheeks flush with warmth. His fingertips buzzed with anticipation, filled with electric energy.

He had seen too many women. There were those who flaunted their bodies in front of him and tried to seduce him with their charms. But no one had made him so nervous before. He could hear his heart pounding, feeling at a loss for what to do.

“Ryan, can you help me apply it on my back? Please?” Carrie’s voice was soft, her delicate shoulders shrinking as she made her request.

“Carrie… Can I? I can do it…” His breath was heavy, filled with intense longing.

Carrie bit her lips, slowly lowering her arms that were protecting herself, and nodded..

Ryan’s heart pounded against his ribs. He forced himself to calm down as he picked up the body lotion placed beside him.

‘I won’t do anything… I won’t do anything…’ Ryan thought to himself and repeated the mantra in his head to restrain the demon in his heart. His fingertips trembled as he suppressed the burning desire.

But the moment he touched Carrie, all restraint vanished. He pulled her fiercely into his arms, unable to resist the overwhelming passion any longer.

“Ryan…” Carrie whispered, her cheeks flushed.

“Don’t say my name.” Ryan’s voice was hoarse, sending shivers down her spine.

“Ryan, I…” “Carrie, if you say my name again, I really don’t know what I’ll do.” “Ryan…” The string in Ryan’s mind snapped instantly, and he leaned in, kissing her trembling lips.

“If you’re not ready, I won’t…” Before Ryan could finish his sentence, Carrie silenced him by biting his lip and returning the kiss. Her movements were gentle yet clumsy.

Fireworks went off in his mind.

He had never felt such satisfaction in his life.

Ryan lazily squinted his charming eyes. They were overflowing with indulgence and affection as he gazed at the lover in his arms.

His right arm held her close, while his other hand carefully lifted the covers.

A smile tugged at the corners of Ryan’s lips, his eyes brimming with hidden emotions as he couldn’t resist kissing her once again.

Carrie was fast asleep. Even as he teased her wantonly, she didn’t wake up.

Ryan murmured softly, “Carrie, you truly belong to me now.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 800-Ryan rested his chin on Carrie’s head, whispering each word slowly into her ear.

“Don’t worry. Those bitter days will never come again. I will cherish you for the rest of my life, Mrs. Hoffman.” As expected, Justin’s slap had ruptured Shannon’s eardrum. It had even dislodged one of her molars.

How much pent-up resentment and hatred did he have to strike her with such force?

Bethany hurriedly escorted Shannon to the hospital for treatment. On the way, Shannon cursed loudly while covering her ears. The more she cursed at Bella and Justin, the angrier she grew, causing her ears and face to throb with pain.

The driver stared in disbelief, stealing frequent glances at the rearview mirror.

Who would believe that the usually dignified and elegant chairman’s wife would be so vulgar, cursing like a fisherman’s wife, causing her facade to crumble?

“What are you looking at?” Bethany noticed the driver’s prying eyes and warned sternly. “I’m warning you! Keep your eyes on the road and drive the damn car. You’d best keep your mouth shut! If a word of this leaks out, your whole family won’t be able to survive in SW “Yes, yes, Ms. Bethany!” The driver trembled and dared not look again.

“You useless girl! I regret raising you!” With nowhere else to vent her anger, Shannon could only unleash her fury at Bethany. She jabbed forcefully at Bethany’s head with her finger, causing her body to tilt. How could you just stand there and watch your own mother get beaten? You stood there and watched Bella, that bitch, bully your mother! You didn’t do anything!” Bethany clenched her fists tightly, filled with resentment. “I’ve never been able to compete with Bella. If rashly intervened, I was afraid I’d make things worse! Why do you keep scolding me, and not Carrie? Look at how much you’ve suffered, and she hasn’t even appeared once. She’s just been fooling around with Ryan! I really don’t know what he sees in her. He must be blind!” Shannon didn’t hide her disdain for Bethany. “Shame on you! How do you still have the nerve to compare yourself to your sister? So what if she doesn’t intervene? She still silently stole Ryan’s heart! Being able to become Ryan’s mother-in-law is great. It’s a hundred times better than your useless flattery in front of me!” Shannon used to be skeptical. But now she had to admit that Bethany’s inferior genes doomed her to mediocrity, no matter how Bethany was raised. The innate lowliness couldn’t be eradicated. Bethany was even inferior to Carrie, the defective daughter she shared with Gregory!

If Shannon had known this earlier, she would have focused on grooming Carrie instead. She felt that she had wasted her efforts.

At the hospital, Shannon received treatment and was admitted to a VIP ward. She lay on the bed, her cheeks swollen, unable to sleep due to the pain in her ears. She tossed and turned, alternating between anger and fear.

Shannon was worried that Bella would discover her relationship with Harry and feared that Harry would betray her. But more than anything, she feared that the truth about Bethany’s biological father being Harry would be exposed. That would spell the end for them both!

She stayed in the hospital for three days, with Bethany mindlessly keeping her company.

On the third day, the swelling on her cheeks finally subsided, but Gregory had yet to show up.

During this time, Bethany called him more than once, asking when he would come to visit her mother. However, he was always indifferent and dismissive, hanging up after a few perfunctory words.

Initially, Bethany thought Shannon would be in tears upon hearing the news. After all, which woman wouldn’t want her husband’s love and care? After all, being left alone in the hospital by her husband would drive any woman crazy.

Unexpectedly, Shannon remained calm and composed, without a hint of crying or tantrums. She ate, nursed her injuries, and appeared to be disturbingly normal.

This left Bethany utterly confused. To the best of her knowledge, Shannon couldn’t survive without Gregory.
