Ch. 81..90
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 81-After returning from the charity auction, Bella locked herself in the room and refused to come out. It was a rare occurrence.
At night, Asher and Axel went to the villa to visit their sister. Although Bella went down to see them, she was feeling drained and exhausted.
“Bella, I heard about what happened at the auction.” Asher hurriedly stepped forward and gently took his sister’s gauze-wrapped hand. He stroked her hand over and over again in distress. “How is your wound? Did Steve take care of you and change the dressing? Does it still hurt? Is there any infection?” “I’ve studied medicine, so I can handle it on my own. Steve has enough things to worry about. I don’t want to trouble him with such a minor thing.” Bella retracted her hand and muttered.
“Steve is getting more unreliable! If we hadn’t gone home and met Aunt Mila, we would’ve been kept in the dark about this! Why didn’t you tell us that the Salvadors bullied you at the auction?” Axel’s eyes were filled with hatred. “I will deliver a summons to Salvador Corporation tomorrow. Asher, please contact KS Group’s legal team and formally sue those old witches for defamation! I’ll burn their asses! Damn it! If we don’t show them how powerful we are, they’ll continue to bully Bella!” “Forget it. This is nothing.” Bella leaned feebly on her eldest brother’s broad shoulders. She said in a soft voice, “Do you think that Salvador Corporation doesn’t have its own legal team? If this gets too big, Wyatt will hear of it, and I can’t afford that!” Bella was more afraid that her father would find out about her and Justin.
Wyatt would not hit her, but he would probably get so angry that he might get a heart attack. Even though he looked tough, he was still an elderly man. Belle did not want her father to worry about this.
However, Bella would not just let Rosalind get away with it.
Bella looked at the wound on her hand and thought of the jade bracelet that she had spent two days repairing. Her eyes turned red again.
“Declan was so anxious to hear that you were injured. He’s now trying to find a way to come back from the army. Drew is already on his way back. He’ll be home soon.” Asher hugged his sister and gently stroked her black hair.
“It’s just a scratch! How could you tell Declan and Drew about this? They hold high positions and have heavy responsibilities. How could they push off their duty just because of such a trivial matter?” Bella’s cheeks turned red with anxiety. She hurriedly took out her phone and sent an angry voice not to the Thompson Family Secret Bureau group chat.
“Whoever dares to come back now, I will ignore him for a year!” Declan replied. [Bella, I have already asked for permission to leave…] “I don’t care! If you come back, I’ll disown you as my brother. Try me!” Drew kept quiet.
“Well… I don’t think you can stop Drew. He’s probably…” Axel pointed upward. “Flying right now.” Bella held her forehead in distress.
Drew had always liked to surprise Bella since they were children. He was also very introverted.
If Drew were around, he would have pampered Bella more than her other brothers.
“I don’t care! I’ll just ignore him!” Bella pursed her lips and fiddled with Asher’s crystal cufflinks. “Asher, can you take me back to Hatchbay later? I want to go to the Meteor Atelier.” Carrie stood up to testify for Anna, offending Shannon, Jean, and Rosalind in the process.
She had been walking on thin ice at home, but now Carrie felt like she was being grilled over a fire.
“Stupid girl! Did that bumpkin bribe you? Are you her spy?!” ((
Bethany was drunk and rushed into Carrie’s bedroom. She bared her teeth and yelled at Carrie. You’re such an ingrate! I thought you were silly and innocent, but I didn’t expect you to pretend all this time! You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, just hiding your strength and biding your time, right? Then you can strike when you get the opportunity. You’ll start to make trouble when you think you’re powerful enough, right?” “I… I’m not a wolf! I didn’t lie. I didn’t get bribed… I told the truth!” Carrie’s face turned pale with fright. She hugged her favorite teddy bear tightly. “You… You bullied Annie… I don’t want you to bully Annie!” That teddy bear was a limited-edition toy that Bella specially bought from Regarton. To buy the toy, Bella got up early and queued for six hours in the rain. Carrie loved it so much that she would sleep with it every night.
“Hmph! How dare you talk back to me?! Go to hell!” Bethany grabbed her sister’s silky hair with such force, looking like she wanted to tear off Carrie’s scalp.
“Ah! Ouch! It hurts!” “Who allowed you to perm your hair?! Do you not remember what I told you?! You’re not allowed to perm your hair without my permission!” Bethany’s eyes were wide open as she shook Carrie’s head vigorously.
Bethany was not angry because what Rosalind did had nothing to do with her.
What Bethany hated was that Ryan, whom she had pined after, took the initiative to talk to Carrie when they exited the Platinum Auction House that day.
Not only that, Ryan even touched Carrie’s “cauliflower” head and smiled at her.
When Bethany witnessed that scene, she was so jealous that she wanted to use a clipper to shave off all of Carrie’s hair.
“Hah! I know what your plan is! You’re not really trying to help that country bumpkin. You just want to pretend to be an angel in front of Ryan and seduce him, right?!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 82-“I… I…” Carrie’s eyes were full of tears as she choked up.
“You just want to go against us. We don’t like Anna, so you want to help her. Is that so you can show that you’re different and righteous?!” Bethany’s delicate face was contorted at the moment. “Stop trying so hard! Ryan can’t possibly like a fool like you!” “Ms. Bethany! What are you doing?” Wilma rushed in and hugged Carrie, who was crying loudly.
The other servants in Tideview Manor had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and no one dared to stop Bethany.
Wilma was the only one who dared to stand up for Carrie because she had been working for Justin for the longest time and could not stand the way Bethany bullied Carrie.
“Wilma, get out! It’s none of your business!” Bethany was also angry with Wilma.
“I think you should leave!” While Wilma comforted the trembling Carrie, she shot a warning look at Bethany and said, “If you walk out of this door now, I’ll pretend that I didn’t see a thing. Otherwise, I will tell Young Master Justin exactly how you bullied Ms. Carrie when he comes back!” Bethany trembled and gritted her teeth unwillingly.
If Justin knew what Bethany was like at home, he would definitely tell his best friend, Ryan. If Justin interfered, it would be more difficult for Bethany to pursue Ryan.
Considering this, Bethany had to stop.
However, she was still upset. Before leaving, she snatched the bear from Carrie’s arms and threw it out the window.
“Ah! My teddy!” “This ragdoll is such an eyesore!” Bethany snorted coldly, flipped her wavy hair, and left the room as if nothing had happened.
Carrie did not even bother to put on her shoes before running out of the villa barefoot.
At that time, Justin returned to Tideview Manor and was startled to see Carrie’s anxious face.
“Carrie, what happened?” Justin stepped forward to stop her and frowned in worry.
Although Justin hated Shannon and Bethany, he still pitied Carrie.
Justin was also impressed that this weak little girl stood up to speak for Anna that day.
“My teddy… My teddy is gone…” Carrie was so anxious that tears and snot streamed down her face.
“Don’t worry. I’ll help you find it.” Justin led Carrie to the backyard.
Finally, they spotted a teddy bear lying in a muddy flower bed.
Justin, who always liked to keep his leather shoes spotless, could not care less about the mud and stepped into the flower bed to retrieve the bear.
The teddy bear was so dirty that it was unrecognizable, but Carrie still held it like a treasure. She hugged it tightly and sobbed as tears fell from her face.
Justin had never been a soft-hearted person, but he could not help but feel sorry for Carrie when he saw her like this.
“It’s so dirty. Why don’t you throw it away? I’ll buy a new one for you tomorrow.” “No… I want this one… Annie gave it to me… It’s my favorite toy!” Justin’s chest trembled. He did not expect Carrie to like Anna so much.
Carrie thought of Anna’s kindness to her in the past. Without him, every day in this huge manor was arduous. Her father neglected her, her mother ignored her, and her sister bullied her.
“Justin!” The little girl threw herself into Justin’s arms and burst into tears. “Can you ask Annie to come back? I miss her so much… Can you stay together?” Justin’s thin lips trembled. His throat felt bitter.
He stroked Carrie’s hair with his big hands and could not say a word because he was afraid of hurting Carrie even more.
At this time, his phone rang.
Nigel’s call interrupted his thoughts.
“Grandpa.” “Why can’t I get through to Anna again?” Nigel became more childlike as he got older. On the other end of the phone, Nigel sounded so anxious that he was about to cry. “What’s going on with Anna? I can’t find her lately. She doesn’t come to see me either! Does Anna no longer want me anymore?! You stupid brat! It’s all your fault! If Anna is ignoring me because of you, I’ll disown you!” “Grandpa, Anna will not abandon you. Don’t overthink it.” Justin rubbed his temples. His handsome face was gloomy.
“Hurry up and help me contact Anna! I want to see my precious granddaughter-in-law! Go and find her!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 83-That night, Asher, Axel, and Bella left Savrow and returned to Hatchbay.
The two cities were not far apart. It was only a less-than-two-hour drive on the highway.
Savrow was the economic center of the country, with abundant resources and broad development prospects. Everyone wanted a piece of this land.
However, Hatchbay was different. Hatchbay had only belonged to one family for hundreds of years- the Thompson family.
The Thompson family created jobs to support at least one-third of Hatchbay’s population. Thus, Wyatt Thompson was known as the “Uncrowned Emperor” of Hatchbay. Without the Thompson, Hatchbay would be an ordinary, second-tier city. Its economy would not be able to develop so rapidly, either.
The Thompson siblings arrived at the antique Meteor Atelier.
“Ah! Ms. Bella! When did you come back?!” An old man in his sixties came to the door to greet them excitedly. He was the manager of Meteor Atelier, Tony.
Tony was the youngest son of Wyatt’s nanny. He and Wyatt grew up playing together and had such a close relationship that they were inseparable.
Tony did not have any big ambitions. Wyatt’s driver bought three houses in Savrow just from listening to Wyatt’s calls every day. However, Tony was not interested in an investment career. He did not want to get married or have children, so he stayed in the Meteor Atelier alone. Instead, he spent all his time with jadeite stones and enjoyed his time in nature.” “Uncle Tony, how are you? Do your legs still hurt when it rains? Is your asthma better? How do you like the medicine that I asked Steve to send you a while ago?” Bella’s bright eyes arched into tiny crescents as she held Tony’s arm affectionately.
“It’s great! I’m fine… But nothing feels better than having you back here!” Tony was so happy that he teared up.
“Actually, I came here this time to ask you for a favor…” Bella sighed quietly and got straight to the point. “A good friend of mine gave me a gift, but I broke it.
I was afraid that he would be sad if he found out, so I wanted to create a replica…” “What is it?” Bella pursed her red lips and carefully took out a vintage jewelry bag, revealing the jade bracelet fragments inside.
“Oh! This is a high-grade material. It’s one in a thousand. What a pity!” Tony was a jade connoisseur.
He was heartbroken when he saw the broken jade.
“I also know how rare this material is, but I’d still like to try it. How many pure jadeites do you have here now?” Bella asked.
“More than five hundred stones.” “I’ll open them all tonight.” “What?!” Tony almost spat out blood.
Asher cleared his throat in embarrassment, and Axel silently reached for his phone in his pocket, ready to call the emergency services at any time.
Bella was always like that, saying such earth-shattering words in the calmest tone.
“No, no, no, no! Are you trying to kill me?!” Tony stomped his feet anxiously, looking just like Wyatt when Wyatt lost his temper.
“You’re exaggerating. You keep these stones as a hobby, and you don’t need them to make a living. Tell me what compensation you want if I want to open all of them?” Bella thought about how Drew disobeyed her, so she wanted to punish him. Thus, she changed her mind and said, “Charge to my fourth brother’s account. Just tell him to pay double the amount. He has the money anyway and doesn’t know what to do with it.” Tony covered his chest and leaned back listlessly.
Asher and Axel quickly supported the old man.
The Thompson family had four gardens in Hatchbay, namely Moon Garden, Cloud Garden, Mist Garden, and Meteor Garden.
Meteor Garden was simple in design, with changing natural scenery throughout the garden. It was first spotted by the renowned professional jade carver, Jayden. However, Wyatt spent $1 billion to buy it over from the owner, which made Jayden so angry that he almost expelled Tony from his apprenticeship. It was all because Tony was friends with Wyatt.
Half a month later, on Jayden’s 60th birthday, Wyatt gifted him Meteor Garden, and their misunderstanding was resolved. It turns out that Wyatt only bought Meteor Garden as a surprise gift for Jayden from the beginning.
Now that Jayden had passed away, Tony inherited the atelier as Jayden’s apprentice. Tony remained at Meteor Garden to this day.
Bella followed Tony to the warehouse to prepare the materials while her brothers were sitting in the front hall drinking tea.
“Bella is too concerned about the Salvador family. I’m jealous.” Axel pouted in displeasure.
“Old Master Nigel is a highly respected elder. He has always liked Bella. Bella is also a sincere person who will repay every kindness she has received. It’s only natural that she wants to repay Old Master Niger for being kind to her, and I support her for that.” Asher sipped the tea slowly. His voice was deep and charming.
“You support everything she does. I don’t believe you would support her being with that jerk Justin again!” “Humans can’t change destiny. Bella is a rebel. The more people oppose them being together, the more she wants to prove them wrong.” Asher sighed.
“God is not that great at playing Cupid. My sister is so perfect. Even the son of the prime minister of a neighboring country isn’t worthy of her. But this bastard Justin actually broke her heart!” Axel scoffed. “But that’s good too. After all, Justin is the worst they can get. Bella won’t be so easily fooled the next time she meets fuckboys like him.” At this time, Asher’s phone vibrated on the table.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 84-Asher glanced down and saw Justin’s name on the phone screen.
“Mr. Salvador,” Asher answered the call in a cold voice.
Axel frowned, got up from his chair, and listened in on their conversation.
“Mr. Thompson, I’m looking for Anna. I have something to tell her.” Justin’s voice was low, with a hint of anxiety.
“Anna is not free now.
“Then when will she be free?” “For you, she’s never free.” Asher had always been harmonious and polite. However, when he dissed someone, he made sure to hit the nail on its head.
Axel clenched his fists excitedly and thought, ‘Well said!’ On the other end of the phone, Justin felt attacked. His face was glum.
“Since Anna has changed her number, it means that she doesn’t want you to contact her. Even if you haven’t finalized your divorce, you should stop harassing her if you have the basic decency of being a man. Secondly, I already know what happened at the charity auction.” Justin’s pupils shrank. His heart seemed like it was being strangled by a barbed wire.
Axel shuddered when he heard this.
Asher was like that. He could seem like an angel one second, but the devil the next second. That was because he did not think that most things were worthy of his anger, except for his family.
“About that…” “I don’t know what your bottom line is, but you have already crossed mine.” Asher’s words were sharp, and his gaze was fiery. “Anna is my only bottom line. This is the last time that I will answer your calls, Mr. Salvador. This is also the last time I’ll remind you to watch your fiancée and your family. Don’t let them harass Anna. If this happens again, I won’t let you off the hook.” 1 Asher ended the call decisively after saying all that.
At this moment, in Tideview Manor, Justin stood in front of the window and stared at the blacked-out screen. He clenched his phone, and he felt like someone was squeezing his heart.
Asher was Justin’s only point of contact with Anna these days. Now that it was cut off, an unprecedented sense of emptiness overwhelmed him. Justin even panicked a little.
This time, Anna might disappear from his life completely.
He might never find her again.
Justin felt an unbearable sadness in his heart. He hurriedly took out a cigarette case from the depth of the drawer which only had two cigarettes left.
With trembling fingers, he took out one cigarette and held it between his thin lips. He lit it after several tries.
The orangey light at the tip of the cigarette flickered on and off. Justin thought that his behavior was becoming more strange.
He had quit smoking for five years, but he broke his sobriety because of his ex-wife, whom he did not love at all.
In the early morning, Bella was alone in the huge workshop of Meteor Atelier. She wore a black and went around the piles of stones. Her smooth forehead was beaded in sweat.
apron Bella opened hundreds of stones and processed them to become polished bracelets. Any one of them could easily sell for at least five figures, but to her, it was worthless.
None of them were similar!
None of them could compare to the bracelet that Nigel gave her.
4 Bella’s eyes were red. She was biting her bottom lip as she polished the jade. Her delicate fingers were calloused, and the wound on her palm was aching, but she did not care at all.
Bella just wanted to make an identical bracelet. Otherwise, she would not know how to face Nigel.
At this time, there was a loud rumbling outside the warehouse that shook the iron gates.
However, Bella did not care. She was only focused on these stones.
Suddenly, the door flew open. A strong gust of wind made Bella squint her eyes.
In the darkness, a helicopter landed outside the door. The hatch slowly opened, and a man’s long legs appeared. The man’s black windbreaker flew in the wind, and his devilishly handsome face was beaming.
“Bella! I’m back!”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 85-Bella raised her eyelids and looked at the handsome man with tears in her almond-shaped eyes.
The man strode forward and got on one knee in front of her. He raised his handsome and chiseled face to look at her affectionately.
“I heard that you want to disown me.” He smiled devilishly and dotingly.
“Drew…” Bella pursed her red lips and spoke in a soft voice.
“Phew! At least you’re still willing to call my name. I’m relieved.” Drew Brown was Wyatt Thompson’s fourth son. He was dark and aloof, but in front of Bella, his eyes always lit up with joy.
He wrapped a strong arm around his sister’s slim waist and reached into the pocket of his windbreaker. He took out a piece of chocolate, tore open the wrapping paper with his teeth, and fed it to Bella.
“It’s a specialty from Ankora, your favorite. Try it.” “Drew!” Bella leaned against Drew’s broad chest and felt a surge of emotions rising. Tears filled her eyes and soaked the man’s black shirt.
The reason for these tears was complicated-finally being reunited with her fourth brother after so long, guilt about breaking the bracelet Nigel gave her, hatred toward Rosalind, and sadness for not being able to make another jade bracelet.
Her tears were also partly due to the disappointment and heartache she felt toward Justin.
“Bella? Are you crying?” Drew was startled, and he quietly stroked the back of her neck.
“No…” Bella muttered.
“My shirt is soaked with your tears, yet you’re still denying it?” “I said no!” Bella’s voice cracked, but she was still very stubborn and refused to admit that she cried.
Drew knew that his little sister had strong self-esteem and had cried only a handful of times since she was a child, so he did not expose her. He quietly held her and coaxed her, all the while feeling distressed.
He thought, ‘Bella, I’m back. I’ll kill that bastard Justin Salvador!’ by At this moment, Asher and Axel stood side by side outside the door, looking at the loving brother and sister.
Axel gritted his teeth in jealousy. “Damn it! This punk snaked his way back again! Why doesn’t Bella ever cry like this with me? This punk comes back once in a blue moon and just steals her away from us. What right does he have?!” “The helicopter landed in Meteor Atelier, causing quite significant damage to the floor tiles and trees. In Meteor Garden.” Asher lowered his eyes slightly, sighed, and shook his head. “I’ll tell Drew later that the landscaping and renovation costs will also be charged to his account.” Bella struggled until dawn and finally made a satisfactory bracelet. She fell asleep on the pile of stones without knowing it.
Tony picked out a good room for Bella to rest in. Drew carried his sister’s soft body on the bed under Axel’s watchful gaze.
After covering his sister with a quilt and kissing her cheek, Drew exited the room with satisfaction and closed the door.
“You’re such a miser. You fly all over the world, but I don’t see you bringing anything nice to our baby sister. You just brought her a piece of chocolate! Cheapo.” Axel mocked Drew and crossed his arms across his chest.
“Ax, will you stop assuming shit?” Drew glanced at him.
“You’d better show me some respect!” Axel glared at him.
“No way in hell!” “Fuck you!” Axel was so angry that he raised a long leg to kick Drew.
As it turned out, Axel was no match for a top secret agent. Drew moved his body slightly to dodge the kick perfectly. Axel lost his balance and almost ripped his pants. How embarrassing!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 86-“Haha… Axel, are you trying to do the splits? Don’t overstretch your balls!” Drew covered his stomach and burst into laughter.
In the high-intensity, harsh, and cautious environment of the special agent headquarters, Drew had not laughed so heartily in a long time.
Asher stood on the side and watched his two younger brothers joke around. He looked like a father watching his sons play, and he was suddenly reminded of his childhood.
“Speaking of this, let me show you the gift I prepared for Bella.” Drew’s eyes sparkled as he enthusiastically brought out a silver rectangular briefcase.
When he opened the complicated combination lock and revealed the contents of the briefcase, Asher looked speechless, and Axel gasped.
“This gun is newly developed by the special agent headquarters. Half of it is bullets, and the other half is anesthetic. Turning the knob to the left will shoot out darts that will make the opponent sleep for three full days. Turning the knob to the right will make the opponent sleep for a lifetime. This lighter is a miniature grenade. It’s easy to carry and very lethal. It can even blow up a building! Oooh, and this!” Men never grow up. Drew was like a kid, proudly showing off his new toy. “Bella likes to make jewelry, right? I customized a ring for her. Don’t you think it looks nice?” Axel was curious and was about to pick it up to play with it, but Drew suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“No, this ring can shoot out poisonous thorns that are more poisonous than paraquat.” Asher lowered his eyes helplessly. “May God forgive you, Amen.” Axel was irritated. “I’m surprised Bella can survive with a brother like you, who likes to play with such lethal toys.” “You know nothing! These gifts are all very practical.” Drew narrowed his eyes with a cold expression. “I prepared these gifts, especially for that blind bastard Justin. How dare he bully my baby sister! It just depends on how Bella wants him to die.” Axel slowly looked at Drew with admiration.
“Drew, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?” Asher asked with concern.
“Around two weeks.” Drew was a little reluctant to leave. “I’m going to Meridan next month for an important mission, so I must go back in advance to prepare for it. Otherwise, I’d like to stay with Bella a little longer.” “Official duties are more important. Axel and I will protect our baby sister, so don’t worry.” Asher paused and asked in a low voice, “Would you like to go home and see Dad? He just talked about you a few days ago.” “Hmph! That old man will probably live a few more years if he doesn’t see me.” Drew waved his hand coolly. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Asher and Axel looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
Even Bella had slowly accepted Wyatt’s three mistresses, but Drew had never been able to forgive his father’s infidelity to his mother.
That was why Drew went to military school and became a special agent. He left his hometown and flew far away so that everything was out of sight and out of mind.
However, in the past two years, Drew became more homesick. He longed for the time when he mindlessly fooled around with his siblings.
“Hey, Ax, let’s go for a hunt.” Drew suddenly hugged his second brother’s neck. The two had just been at each other’s throats, but now they ignored their past grudges and were as close as conjoined twins.
‘A hunt?’ Axel reacted immediately.
“If you want to go, go by yourself. Bella said we’re not allowed to find fault with the jerkface, Justin. I can’t break my promise!” Axel quickly retreated, as if Drew were poisonous.
Drew sneered and curled his lips sinisterly.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 87-Bella stayed at the Meteor Atelier for three whole days.
To make a jade bracelet that resembled the one that Nigel gave her, Bella barely slept in the past three days. When she was tired, she would take a nap in the workshop. Then she would eat something simple and continue to work with the jade.
During the day, Bella shooed away her three brothers. But at night, they put aside all their social activities and came back to have dinner with her.
Facing a table full of delicacies that her brothers bought for her, all of which were her favorites, Bella still frowned. She propped her chin up on her hand and pushed around the food on her plate.
The Thompson brothers were worried, but they did not know how to help her.
All of them were useless and knew nothing about jewelry.
“Ms. Bella.” Bella returned to her thoughts and looked at Tony listlessly.
She saw Tony take out an embroidered jewelry box from behind that he had prepared early in the morning and place it in front of her.
“Uncle Tony, this is…” “Open it and take a look.” Bella frowned in confusion and opened the box.
She instantly covered her mouth in surprise and stared at the clear jade bracelet in the box.
Although there were still slight differences, it was very similar to the one Nigel gave her!
“My master left this to me. It was one of his works that he was most proud of during his lifetime. He originally wanted to give this jade bracelet to his beloved, but he failed to do so.” Tony sighed with regret.
“Master Jayden has a wife? Isn’t he an old bachelor?” Axel asked curiously while chewing some meat.
Tony glanced at him. “Tsk! Everyone has a crush, okay?” “Oh, I thought Master Jayden only liked stones and not women.” Drew joked and took a sip of wine. “Then why didn’t he give it to his crush? Was he scared?” “Master Jayden and his crush were studying at the same school. At that time, Master Jayden liked to tease her, but after twenty years of being friends, Master Jayden fell in love without knowing it. Later, when his crush got married, he wanted to give her this bracelet as a gift. But on her wedding day, she got into a serious car accident and was pronounced dead on site.” The Thompson siblings were shocked by this information and were crestfallen.
“Since then, Master Jayden has sworn off love. He put all his feelings for his crush into jade carving and slowly healed his broken heart over the years.” “His love for her will last forever. Master Jayden is the most affectionate man in this world.” Bella could not help but sigh. Her eyes were twinkling with envy.
“But all these tragedies stem from Master Jayden not confessing his love, isn’t it? That’s his fault…” Asher, Axel, and Bella glared daggers at Drew. The man pursed his lips and drank in embarrassment.
Bella felt a bitterness in her heart.
Someone as unfeeling as Master Jayden could fall in love without even realizing it. Bella had been married to Justin for three years, but did that man ever feel even a sliver of affection for her?
Did Justin ever have the slightest regret when he divorced her?
No way.
If so, how could he hurt her with such insulting words over and over again? If so, how could he indiscriminately side with those insidious women and question her character?
After the divorce, Bella was no longer Justin’s wife, so he did not even bother to show any superficial respect for her.
Bella sneered in her heart, picked up the wine glass, and gulped it down. The burning sensation in her throat made her sober.
Comparing that bastard Justin to Master Jayden was such an insult to the late master that he would roll around in his coffin.
“Ms. Bella, please take this bracelet. I compared it and found that this one is most similar to the one you broke.” Tony looked at her seriously.
“No, no, no… I can’t… This is Master Jayden’s relic. It’s too valuable. I can’t take it!” Bella panicked and hurriedly pushed the box back.
“My master’s last words before he died were to keep everything untouched. However, Wyatt’s children can take whatever they want when they grow up. They can come and play or take anything they wish to.” Bella’s nose was sore, and her eyes were teary. “Uncle Tony, I…” “I have seen how much you have worked to restore that bracelet. That must be a very important friend to you. You’re a good girl who values friendships, so your Grandpa Jayden will definitely be very pleased to know this. Take it.” Tony smiled lovingly and forced the box into her hands.
That night, the Thompson siblings left the Meteor Atelier and said goodbye to Tony.
The Rolls-Royce drove back to Savrow.
Bella leaned on Asher’s shoulder. Her eyes were half-closed as she held the jewelry box firmly in her arms.
“Bella, I have something to tell you. Justin contacted me the night you returned to Hatchbay.” Asher hesitated slightly. His voice was low and hoarse.
“Oh.” Bella’s heart twitched, but she reminded herself to keep calm.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 88-“I asked him not to contact you again, and I spoke quite harshly. I’m not sure how he’ll take it.” “Well done! I’m a goddess, so I won’t let ordinary people like him interact with me. I’m the woman of KS Group’s president!” “Right. You’re the only woman that every man in the Thompson family pampers.” Asher’s charming eyes arched as he smiled and patted his little sister’s shoulder. He looked at her dotingly.
“Ash, give me your phone.” Bella beckoned.
Asher did not know what she wanted to do, but he still gave her his phone. “The password is your birthday.” “I know.” Bella opened the contact list and decisively blocked Justin’s phone number.
“Good job.” Asher smiled lightly.
“We must nip this in the bud. If we don’t, that bastard will push his luck.” Bella’s eyes turned cold when she mentioned her ex-husband.
Justin had been restless and had no appetite for the past few days.
That was because he had completely lost contact with his ex-wife.
Nigel began to bombard Justin with phone calls every day, demanding that he find Anna. The octogenarian old man was more difficult to deal with than a clingy young woman in love.
“Mr. Salvador, why don’t we make a missing person’s report?” Ian was racking his brains to come up with ideas. “You and the young madam have yet to finalize the divorce, so you are still legally married. It’s only natural for you to find your wife’s whereabouts. I don’t believe that the young madam will stay hidden for long.” “What kind of stupid idea is that?” Justin glanced at him angrily.
“Then what do you think we should do? The young madam just dropped off the grid. She has no phone number and no friends. Her only contact person is Mr. Thompson, who won’t answer your calls anymore…” Justin narrowed his alluring eyes and shot daggers at his brainless secretary. Justin really wanted to kill this man.
Last night, Justin tried to call Asher again, but he found that Asher had blocked him.
This was the first time in his life that Justin was blocked. It felt as if he had been thrown into outer space. He floated aimlessly through the abyss with a muddled mind and could not recover for ten minutes.
The feeling of defeat and humiliation tugged at his heart.
Justin suddenly stood up, picked up his suit jacket, put it on, and strode out the door.
“Get the car ready. Let’s go to KS World Hotel!” Bella immediately got back to work after returning from Hatchbay.
In the past few days, Steven had been the one leading the high-level meetings and presiding over the important events. When he saw Bella, he smiled radiantly and finally settled his longing heart.
Recently, the hotel’s occupancy rate increased by 20%. Although it was not a shocking increase, it was still a small achievement.
In addition, Bella had the hotel’s culinary scene revamped. She recently held a Food Week event, so a lot of guests specifically came to dine at the hotel. Their daily income from catering alone was a considerable sum.
However, Bella was not satisfied with this achievement alone.
She was an ambitious woman who was raised by Wyatt. She wanted to make the KS World Hotel bigger and better, surpassing all of Salvador Corporation’s hotels.
In marriage, she was a complete loser.
But in the business world, she must not lose to Justin.
“I heard that someone stayed in the presidential suite in our hotel that no one has stayed in for two years last night.” Bella asked casually while reading the financial report.
“Who do you think booked that room?” Steven walked around behind Bella and massaged her shoulders skillfully.
“Is it Ryan again?” “It’s Bethany Salvador.” Bella raised her eyebrows slightly. “Huh? Why does she need such a big room? Is she doing somersaults?” “I heard from the housekeeper that she’s hosting a party with three other girls. In the middle of the night, two tall and muscular male models sneaked in and stayed over. Fortunately, our hotel has good sound insulation. The two male models left the presidential suite around 5:00 p.m., probably to avoid suspicion.” “Bethany has always liked to have fun. But is it enough for three girls to hire two gigolos?” Bella clicked her tongue and said in a rather disgusted tone, “Once they’ve checked out, be sure to ask the housekeeper to clean and disinfect the room thoroughly. Don’t reuse the bed sheets and quilts. Just throw them away. I’m afraid that the other guests will get STDs.” At this moment, Steven’s phone rang. It was a call from a supervisor.
He picked up and listened for a while, then his face darkened.
“What’s wrong?” Bella asked, sensing that something was wrong.
“Ms. Bella, Bethany is making trouble in the lobby. She insists that our hotel staff stole her things, and she wants us to give her an explanation immediately.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 89-A crowd had gathered in the hotel lobby.
you “Ms. Salvador, please calm down… You’re a person of status, so it’s not advisable for you to make a scene here. If you have anything to say, we can move to the lounge to talk about it. What do think?” The lobby manager was so anxious that he was sweating. He tried his best to persuade Bethany.
“I am a person of status, but your hotel employee still dares to steal my things. What if I’m a nobody? Your hotel will be covering this up!” Bethany put her hand on her hips and slapped the marble at the front desk while glaring at the lobby manager angrily.
The crowd recognized Bethany and knew that she was the daughter of Gregory Salvador. But at this moment, she looked like a rogue looking for trouble.
“I… I didn’t steal anything…” The housekeeper lowered her head and murmured timidly.
“How dare you make excuses?!” Bethany jabbed her sharp red fingertips on the housekeeper’s face. If the manager had not stopped Bethany, she might have blinded the housekeeper. “My necklace was just on the sink. Do you think it’ll run away on its own?!” “I was in charge of cleaning the room, but I wasn’t the only one there.” The housekeeper’s face turned pale, but she refused to admit her fault.
“What do you mean by this?! Are you suspecting that we stole it?!” Amy was furious.
“We’re all respectable people. Why would we care about a necklace? But a peasant like you would steal that necklace because you probably haven’t seen such nice things before!” Beatrix chimed in.
“Haha! I thought a hotel run by the Thompson family would be reputable. But the service here is shit! It’s a far cry from my family’s hotel. This hotel is doing shady business!” Bethany crossed her arms in disdain.
The lobby manager’s expression turned grim.
KS Hotel had high-profile guests. He had never seen such a difficult woman over his entire career in the hospitality industry.
“Ms. Salvador, you are smearing the image of KS World Hotel and personally attacking our hotel employee before the situation has been clarified. Do you think this is appropriate?” A soothing, graceful, yet resounding voice broke the silence in the lobby.
Everyone was shocked and looked back in unison to see a beautiful woman in a white suit walking over.
Bella walked toward Bethany in her sky-high stilettos. She walked with such confidence and speed that it seemed like the heels were a part of her body.
Bethany’s friends were stunned.
“Why are you here?!” Bethany looked surprised and sized Bella up in disgust.
Bella’s high-end suit, brand-name stilettos, and dangling sapphire earrings were a statement of wealth, highlighting her extraordinary status.
The crowd was curious as to who Bella was because she was such eye candy.
In contrast, Bethany looked like an ogre.
At this moment, Justin and Ian happened to walk into the hotel lobby.
When he saw his ex-wife, whom he had lost contact with for nearly a week, Justin felt his heart tremble. There was an unexplainable joy in his eyes that he had finally found her.
Then he seemed entranced by her beautiful figure and forgot to blink for a moment.
“Mr. Salvador, that’s the young madam!” Ian was equally excited to see Bella. His expression changed again when he noticed Bethany. “Eh? Why is Ms. Bethany here? There are so many people watching them. Did something happen?” Justin had an ominous feeling when he saw Bethany. He moved slightly, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Let’s wait and see what happens.” When the housekeeper saw Bella, she burst into tears from the grievances she suffered.
“Manager… ]] “Oh, so you’re the manager here, huh? What a big difference in social standing.” Bethany smirked.
“Really? I don’t think so. I think my life now is much better than before.” Bella raised her eyebrows slightly. Her smile was dazzling. “At least now I’m treated like a human being.” Her words pierced Justin’s heart.
The man’s throat tightened, and he felt frustrated.
‘What does she mean by that? Have I ever mistreated her in the past three years?’
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 90-Jason thought that he had given Anna the dignity of being a CEO’s wife. He had no feelings for Anna, but she was well-dressed, well-fed, and waited on by the servants. She did not suffer at all, and he even got her a supplementary credit card. He was never stingy with money.
Although Anna had not spent a cent on that card in the past three years, she still lived a life that was a thousand times better than when she was working as a caregiver in a nursing home.
Why would she say that? It sounded as if she had been abused at his house.
Justin became angrier as he thought about it. His eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his jaw.
“Pft! You’re just being stubborn. Since you are the manager here, I won’t play nice. Your hotel must give me an explanation for this today. Or compensate me with an identical necklace. It’s not that expensive-only $2 million. You can also send this thieving housekeeper to prison. You, as the manager, can’t shirk responsibility either. You must bow and apologize to me in front of everyone. Money is not the problem here. The main thing is that I won’t endure this.” Bethany flipped her wavy hair and rolled her eyes.
Bethany would not recognize Anna as her ex-sister-in-law in front of so many people because she found it embarrassing.
Moreover, this was a rare opportunity to get back at the bumpkin. Anna was in the limelight at the charity auction last time. Now, Anna was no longer recognized as Mr. Thompson’s lover and was only a lowly part-time worker. Bethany was adamant about crushing her.
“Mr. Salvador, the young madam is being bullied again!” Ian usually disliked Bethany’s attitude and was extremely worried about Anna.
“Hold on.” Justin narrowed his eyes slightly. He was curious about his ex-wife.
He had never seen Anna in the workplace. In his memory, Anna was just a humble housewife.
Hotels were in the service industry, which was not easy to manage. Justin wanted to see if Anna could resolve Bethany’s problem after Asher made her a hotel manager.
“Ms. Salvador, since your necklace is worth $2 million, you can file a police report and open an investigation. If you want to recover your losses, we can help you call the police. After all, the sooner you call the police, the sooner your necklace will be found. Moreover, all employees in this hotel, including myself, will cooperate with the police investigation. We will surrender all surveillance footage and employees’ personal belongings for inspection as long as they have a search warrant.” Bella’s tone was calm.
The crowd started to whisper.
“That makes sense! She should make a police report immediately! What’s the point of making a scene here?” “I think she misplaced it and just wanted someone to take the blame!” Bethany was so angry that her face was flushed. “What’s the use of a search warrant? This thief must have moved it!” “I’m not a thief! I didn’t steal anything from you!” The housekeeper’s eyes turned red with anger, and her whole body was trembling.
“Except for the bathrooms, showers, and staff locker rooms, all areas of our hotel have high- definition surveillance cameras. After the incident, I immediately stopped all the employees in the housekeeping department from leaving. If someone stole your necklace, it should still be in the hotel.
There would be no time for them to move it elsewhere.” Bella took out her phone and waved it in front of Bethany. “When I rushed over just now, I had already called the police. They should arrive in about ten minutes. As for the apology you demand, I will not hesitate to do so once the matter has been resolved.” Bella’s explanation was foolproof.
“Young Madam is so amazing! She handled this like a professional!” Ian could not help but compliment Bella in awe. He was Bella’s number-one fan.
Justin glared at Ian, but his heart moved.
He had to admit that Anna dealt with the incident decisively. She remained calm, witty, assertive, and graceful. She looked like a lady boss and nothing like the lowly and timid housewife trapped in his small manor.
“Fine! You said so yourself. I didn’t force you!” Bethany gritted her teeth.
“Of course. I am the manager of the hotel, so I should be responsible for my guests. But that is under the condition that we are indeed at fault.” Bella was smiling, but it did not reach her bright eyes.
At this time, Steven led the housekeeping manager over in a hurry. He held a plastic bag carefully, as if he were handling a piece of police evidence.
“We found Ms. Salvador’s necklace!”
