Ch. 991..1000
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 991-Late at night, Bethany stood at the door with a meal box in her hand, knocking gently. “You haven’t eaten anything all day. You won’t be able to hold out like that. I’ve brought you some food. They’re all your favorites. Open up, Mom.” But there was no response from inside the room.Bethany began to feel anxious. She turned the doorknob and found the door unlocked.Fury surged within her.The servants in the Salvador household were nothing but opportunists, quick to change their tune depending on the situation With news circulating about Gregory’s possible divorce from Shannon and her declining influence, they started to show disrespect.The servants claimed that the door was locked when they tried to deliver food. However, that was not true. The servants made a half hearted attempt at sending food.Bethany cautiously entered the room. The room was in complete darkness, sending shivers down her spine.Suddenly, moaning sounds echoed from the bedroom.Bethany’s heart raced as she hurried to the door.As she pushed the door open, the clatter of the meal box slipping from her grasp echoed in the room, almost startling her into a scream.2/3 There, she saw her mother, Shannon, in agony. Her disheveled appearance and deathly pale face resembled a ghastly specter in the darkness.“It hurts. It hurts so bad… I-can’t bear it any longer!” Shannon cried out, trembling uncontrollably.With her heart pounding in her chest, Bethany pressed herself against the door, her fear palpable as she addressed her mother. “Mom, w- what’s going on?!” Although Shannon was her mother, Bethany was terrified, as if she had encountered a ghost.“B-Bethany, I’m dying… I’m dying!” Shannon tumbled off the bed with a clang, crawling to Bethany’s feet like a dog, clutching her skirt desperately. “Nobody else can help me now… Only you can do it… You’re the only one who can help “H-How can I help you?!” Bethany asked, trembling.“Go find Dr. Fairchild right away and get the medicine from hi inject it myself!” At the mention of the medicine, a glimmer of hope flashed in Shannon’s dim eyes. Her bloodshot eyes widened. “As long as I have that medicine… Everything will be fine. Without it, I might as well be dead!” “Mom! How are you any different from a drug addict now?! You can’t inject more of that stuff. That Dr. Fairchild is only causing you harm!” Bethany was both anxious and angry, on the verge of tears.Even if she were dumb, she still knew what her mother meant by medicine”.” If Shannon’s current state were to be known by others, it would be a complete disaster!“Just go! You’re going whether you like it or not!” Shannon descended into a frenzied madness, tearing Bethany’s dress in the process. “If I go down, you’re going down with me! Do you think Gregory’s going to protect you? Do you think he’s going to keep spoiling you? If he despises me so much, he’s going to hate you too! Your sister now has Ryan to protect her, but what about you? You only have me by your side!” Bethany’s face turned pale with astonishment, as if a sudden realization had struck her.Left with no other option, Bethany was compelled to follow the address provided by Shannon and stealthily drive out of Tideview Manor amidst the deep night.She sped down the road, both in a rush to save time and to release the pent-up frustration in her heart.Recalling Shannon’s remark about her sister having Ryan by her side while she had nothing, she seethed with intense hatred, angrily blaring the horn to vent her frustration!Why did that idiot have such good luck? Why?!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 992-Looking at it this way, Shannon certainly could not meet her demise so soon.
If she did, Bethany’s days in the Salvador household would indeed be precarious. Also, who else would look out for her future then?

Meanwhile, Simon was alone in the hospital, packing his belongings and preparing to leave Savrow temporarily.
Suddenly, his phone on the table rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Bella, Simon’s face lit up with a smile as he promptly answered.
“Yes, Ms. Thompson.” “Dr. Fairchild, are you still in Savrow?” “Yes, I’m still here. But I’m about to head to the airport. What’s the matter?” Bella fell into a brief silence, then spoke in a serious tone. “Don’t leave just yet.
I’ll help you reschedule.” “Is something wrong?” Simon’s expression turned concerned. “Do you have other plans? In that case, I won’t leave Savrow.” Actually, he did not want to leave at all. It was not the fear of trouble Chaser W that held him back, but rather the fear of being unable to assist Bella.
“Bethany will be arriving at your hospital soon. She’s definitely there to see you for Shannon’s condition.” Meanwhile, Bella was in her villa in Savrow, tidying up the clothes left behind by Justin.
Though she carried herself like a dutiful young wife, her words were chillingly cold. “I’ve heard that Chairman Salvador had Shannon confined to their house.
Without his orders, she won’t be able to leave Tideview Manor. These past few days, she hasn’t been able to inject herself with the drugs, so I reckon she’s suffering both physically and mentally right now.” Simon calculated the timeline and nodded slowly. “Indeed, Shannon should have been here for her injection the day before yesterday. It’s already been two days, so she’s likely experiencing withdrawal symptoms.” “Yeah, that’s why Bethany’s undoubtedly here to ask you for the drugs.” Bella hummed a tune as she hung up Justin’s robe in the wardrobe.“ Once she’s here, just hand her everything and let Shannon have them all.” “Why, Ms. Thompson?” Simon was utterly puzzled. “If your intention was to torment Shannon, shouldn’t you cut off her supply of drugs and make her endure daily agony? Why hand them all over to her?” “Well, I’m not a saint. Why should I help her quit drugs?” Bella lightly stroked Justin’s robe. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a hint of softness, but her crimson lips curled into a cold smile. “If she wishes to destroy herself, I’m more than willing to assist her. Besides, isn’t it true that the more she indulges, the stronger the effect?” Simon came to a sudden realization Indeed, if they cut off Shannon’s access to drugs now, it would just indirectly help her quit the drugs. But if the Salvador family noticed her abnormal behavior, they would surely tighten control over her, perhaps even secretly sending her abroad.
That would risk undoing all the groundwork they had laid before.
Only by allowing her to continue with her drug injections and letting her guard down could their plan proceed smoothly.
Ms. Thompson was truly remarkable, beautiful, intelligent, and ruthless!
Meanwhile, Bethany had parked her sports car at the hospital entrance.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 993-Bethany remained seated in her sports car for a long time, mustering her courage before finally disembarking and entering the hospital.
She dared not bring anyone along, knowing this matter required the utmost secrecy. Each additional person knowing this information would only pose another potential risk.
She cautiously tested the door and found it unexpectedly unlocked.
There was no one in the hospital. It was as if the hospital was anticipating Bethany’s arrival.
Suddenly, Bethany’s phone rang.
To her surprise, on the screen was Dr. Fairchild’s number-the very, one she had recently saved.
“Hello,” she answered, trying to maintain composure while sca her surroundings vigilantly.
“Ms. Bethany, I’m waiting for you in the second-floor office. Pleas come up.” After speaking, Dr. Fairchild promptly ended the call without any unnecessary chatter.
Bethany clenched her teeth and ascended to the second floor, pushing open the office door upon arrival.
Inside, Dr. Fairchild sat calmly on the sofa, clad in a white coat, offering a gentle smile.
At the sight of him, Bethany’s pupils involuntarily contracted with unease.
She finally understood why Shannon was so infatuated with this male doctor. He had a handsome appearance and carried himself with refined manners.
“Ms. Salvador, you arrived rather quickly. I anticipated a longer wait,” Dr. Fairchild remarked calmly.
“Let’s not waste each other’s time, Dr. Fairchild.” Bethany composed herself and spoke coldly. “I came here for a reason, and you should be well aware of it.” “How’s Madam Shannon doing?” Instead of directly responding to her, Simon indulgently chuckled. “It’s been a while since I last saw her. Honestly, I kind of miss her.” “Shut up!” Bethany snapped, her eyes burning with embarrassment as she pointed accusingly at his mocking face. “My mother is the matriarch of one of Savrow’s most prestigious families. She is a person of such noble status. How dare you harbor any thoughts about her?!” Simon shrugged. “I’ve never had any desires toward her. All along, it was Madam Shannon who initiated everything…” “Enough! Stop talking!” Bethany stepped back abruptly, feeling a surge of repulsion from deep within. “Just give me what I came for. Hurry up!” “Ms. Salvador, às an heiress from a prominent family, you’ve lived a life of privilege. Even if you’re not familiar with social etiquette, you should at least know how to be polite when asking for a favor, right?” Simon’s expression carried a hint of amusement.
Bethany gritted her teeth, her voice cold and determined. “Dr.
Fairchild, since you have a close relationship with my mother, please hand over what she requires now.” Simon remained silent, slowly retrieving a stainless steel medical box and giving it a subtle shake.
“All the shots are in here.” Bethany’s eyes lit up, and she rushed forward to take the box.
But just then, Simon unexpectedly pulled the box back, leaving her grasping at the air in embarrassment “W-What is wrong with you?!” “I’m close to Madam Shannon, but now with you, Ms. Salvador. So, I can’t just hand this over to you,” Simon replied, his eyes narrowing as he examined her from head to toe with a meaningful gaze.
His gaze was intense, like a burning flame running from head to toe, causing Bethany to shiver and her heart to race.
What was his intention?
Typically, when a man looked at someone like that and spoke in such a tone, they were usually suggesting something sexual.
Could it be that he desires her?
But she was Shannon’s daughter! Was this man aiming for both the mother and the daughter? Was he into such taboo relationships?!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 994-“Y-You… Are you trying to… With me?” Bethany’s voice trembled, and her breathing grew agitated.
Simon remained composed, tilting his head with a look that concealed desire, which was particularly enticing.
Bethany understood the situation. She realized that if she did not make some sacrifices tonight, she would not be able to retrieve the medicine.
But to her, it did not matter. She was adept at sleeping with men. Besides, Dr.
Fairchild was not only young but also as good-looking as the male models she knew, so she did not feel like she was losing out.
“I know what you men desire.” Bethany’s cheeks flushed red, her fingers trembling as she began undo the buttons of her dress one by one.
Soon, she undid all her buttons, and her dress slid down to the floor leaving her standing before the man in nothing but sexy burgundy lace lingerie.
“Now we can…” “Ms. Salvador, what are you doing?” With a disdainful smile, Simon laughed, completely unmoved. “Is your mind always filled with thoughts of such activities with men? When did I ever say I wanted to sleep with you?” Bethany felt as if lightning had struck her. Her entire body trembled with anger, and her face burned with shame.
“A-Are you toying with me?!” Simon shook his head. “Ms. Bethany, you’ve misunderstood what I meant.” Bethany, flushed with embarrassment and anger, was about to bend down and pick up her dress when the man’s voice, laced with a cold smirk, rang out. “I want you to kneel before me and beg me. Beg for my help.” Bethany, her clothing forgotten in her agitation, trembled with indignation. “W-What did you just say?!” “Did you not hear me? I don’t think I need to repeat myself.” Upon finishing his sentence, Simon gestured toward the floor. “Ms.
Salvador, this is your only chance. Can you bear to watch your mother suffer from drug addiction? I doubt Madam Shannon can hold on much longer.” Meanwhile, unbeknownst to both Simon and Bethany, Bella was sitting in the study with a sheet mask on, watching the hospital’s internal footage displayed on her screen.
Every interaction and conversation was under the keen observation of the young heiress.
Initially, when Bethany began to undress, Bella’s sheet mask almost cracked from shock.
Simon’s unexpected actions further intensified her reaction, causing the mask to split completely.
Not only that, Bella’s brows furrowed tightly, her gaze becoming more profound.
Then, the next moment, she witnessed a scene that was both shocking and satisfying to her.
There Bethany was, trembling and half-naked, humiliatingly kneeling before Simon without a shred of dignity.
As the young lady of the prestigious Salvador family, when had Bethany ever experienced such a humiliating ordeal?
However, what Bella did not know was that, compared to the severe beating Bethany received from Ryan, which almost disfigured her, the humiliation she was enduring at that moment seemed insignificant Bella let out a soft sigh, shaking her head in resignation. “This really knows how to stir up trouble.” With the stainless steel box in hand, Bethany felt like she was dragging a lead ball as she walked out of the hospital with heavy steps.
As soon as she got into the car, she began to scream as if she were possessed. Her hands forcefully tangled her hair into a mess, unable to contain the rage boiling inside her.
Bethany pulled out a cigarette from her designer bag. Her trembling hands struck the lighter several times before finally lighting it.
She smoked three cigarettes in a row before managing to regain semblance of calmness.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 995-Then, Bethany picked up her phone and made a call.
“Get someone to mess with this person. Dig out his kneecaps and make sure he spends the rest of his life kneeling for me!” After handing over the medication to Bethany, Simon drove home alone.
As his car approached the neighborhood, a black MPV suddenly appeared out of nowhere and crashed into the side of his car.
The car nearly spun 360 degrees, and the glass shattered. Simon was left seeing stars from the impact, and he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
The screeching sound of the brakes echoed through the deserted street as the car came to a stop.
Before Simon could regain consciousness, he heard the car door open and felt a rough pull as he got yanked out of the vehicle.
“Ugh!” Before Simon could even see who dragged him out of the car, he was pinned down in front of the car and subjected to a barrage of punches and kicks.
“Should we break his legs, or what?” One of the attackers asked.
“No. Just dig out his kneecaps. Hurry up!” Simon writhed in agony, and blood streamed down his head. At that moment, he understood why this was happening to him.
It was Bethany seeking revenge!
“Kid, we have no grudge against you, but you messed with someone you shouldn’t have. You’re just damn unlucky!” Before he could finish his sentence, the man pulled out a gleaming knife, ready to stab at Simon’s knees.
Just as Simon was about to bid farewell to his legs, the man in front of him suddenly let out a scream.
The screams followed one after another, and Simon’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Suddenly, a man wearing a black mask and a black windbreaker appeared out of nowhere. He had sharp features and threw fierce punches. Like a black whirlwind, he swiftly took down all four assailants.
Damn! He was incredibly cool!” This was the kind of scene you would expect in a high-quality acti movie. Ordinary people would not have such astonishingly agile skill In the next moment, he watched in disbelief as the man in the black windbreaker swiftly disarmed the attackers, breaking their tendons and rendering them completely powerless!
With the man’s help, Simon boarded an unregistered black luxury car.
As he settled in, he was shocked.
“M-Ms. Thompson?! It was you?!” “Yes, it’s me. Who else would come to your rescue?” Bella’s eyes held a trace of displeasure as she examined his bruised face. “Dr.
Fairchild, do you remember my previous instructions? I explicitly instructed you to act only on my commands. Anything extra is unnecessary without my authorization.” “Anything… Extra?” Simon’s heart pounded like a drum. “I was just following your instructions by handing the medicine to Bethany…” “Is that so?” Bella’s slender arms crossed against her chest, her delicate features as cool as the moon. “Well, why did you force Bethany to kneel before you then?” Simon stared in astonishment, realizing that every move he made tonight was under her supervision.
“I’m not monitoring you out of distrust. I’m only doing it because it’s the only way to guarantee your safety.” Bella recalled the agony caused by her impulsiveness that led to Linny losing her life, bringing tears to her eyes.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 996-Bella clenched her fists, feeling a surge of bitterness. “An innocent girl has already died because of me, Dr. Fairchild. I can’t bear the thought of anything happening to you because of my actions. It’s just too much for me.” Upon hearing this, Simon lowered his head in remorse and murmured, “Ms.
Thompson, all I wanted was to help you one last time by taking revenge for you.
I didn’t expect it would have caused so much trouble for you. I’m truly sorry.” “You don’t know Shannon and her daughter well, but I do. Although Bethany is not as sharp as Shannon, she has inherited her mother’s ruthlessness. With her impulsive behavior, she is even more merciless than Shannon.” Bella continued, “While Shannon is careful about the outcome of her actions, Bethany is different. She often acts without considering the consequences just because she’s Gregory Salvador’s daughter d the heiress of the Salvador family.
“That’s why my sister took extra precautions and had me lurking your hospital.” The man in the passenger seat took off his black mask, revealing a strikingly handsome face that could make anyone heart skip a beat. “I’ve been following you since you left, worried tha Bethany might try to harm you if given the chance. It seems that ou suspicions were right all along. She doesn’t let go of grudges easily.” “And, who might this be?” Simon asked curiously.
“This is Drew, my fourth brother,” Bella said, sweetly smiling at Drew.
Drew responded with a wink, instantly bringing warmth to the tense atmosphere in the car.
Simon was surprised and let out a chuckle.
Bella always seemed to have powerful allies ready to defend her, never lacking knights in shining armor. As long as he could look out for himself and refrain from causing any issues for her, that would be the greatest help he could offer her.
Bella escorted Simon to the hospital and felt relieved after sending two bodyguards over to assist him.
At that moment, Drew approached Bella with a solemn expression.
“Bella, you have incredible insight. Your ex-husband and that little brat from the Hoffman family are indeed headed for Terranova. It seems like Justin wants to keep you in the dark about his meeting with Winston.” Bella’s heart sank. While she had suspected that Justin’s supp business trip was a ruse to pursue Winston, having her suspi confirmed brought on a wave of overwhelming fear.
Bella asked, “Did Ash tell you?” “Ash is already on his way to Terranova. He assured you not to worry He’ll handle everything meticulously.
“Terranova is different from our country. We have more freedom.
there.” Bella frowned, pacing back and forth. “We’ve looked into Winston before. He’s a mercenary in Terranova with his own troops. His group has deep roots there. Even the authorities can’t touch them, and sometimes they even offer them protection. Justin’s reckless decision to go after him is one thing, but I’m worried he’ll get into trouble himself if he can’t catch Winston!” “Ash also has connections in Terranova. When he arrives there, he just needs to help your ex-husband a little.” Drew remained indifferent, wearing a wicked grin on his lips. “I’m looking forward to Justin’s performance this time. I’ve always heard you talk about how fierce and formidable he was during his time in the peacekeeping force. My ears hurt from listening to it all! Now that the chance has come, let’s see if it lives up to the hype.” “Drew! Do you have any empathy at all?” Bella’s eyes were red with anger as she tightly clenched her fists. This time around, he’s basically heading into the lion’s den alone. without even a proper weapon. He’s even brought that burdens Ryan. They could be harmed or worse!
If anything were to happ him, then I…” “Then who will you marry?” Drew spoke with his hands tucked in pockets as he leaned closer to her face. His eyes were full of mockery.
Bella blushed and was about to smack him when suddenly an idea struck her. There was someone in the Thompson family who had more influence than Asher.
It would definitely help Justin
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 997-The next day, Justin and Ryan secretly set off for the South Island, accompanied by their elite troops.
Their journey was not smooth sailing at all. Although it started as a clear day, after two hours of sailing, ominous clouds quickly formed overhead, and a powerful storm brewed.
In order to maintain secrecy and ensure safety during the journey, they opted for multiple yachts rather than a large ship. This allowed them to be more stealthy and versatile. They could scatter and escape swiftly if they were discovered by enemies without risking being completely surrounded.
However, the drawbacks of the yacht became evident during severe weather conditions.
“Mr. Salvador! Mr. Hoffman! What should we do? Will the yacht capsize?” The crew members from the Hoffman family made every eff steer, but the yacht kept swaying violently in the storm, struggli stay upright, let alone advance toward their destination.
Suddenly, a huge wave surged toward their yacht, heading straight fo Ryan.
Ryan’s eyes widened in fear as he felt a sudden darkness surround him. Justin stepped in just in time, his strong and tall figure serving as a shield to protect him like an impenetrable fortress!
The sound of the impact echoed through the air.
The wave hit Justin hard, but he only swayed a little from the impact. Most people would have been knocked over by now.
At times, this man was so powerful that even other men couldn’t help but feel their hearts skip a beat!
“Justin! Are you alright?!” Ryan quickly reached out to steady him. His eyes narrowed with concern.
“I’m okay, just a minor issue,” Justin said with a faint smile, his eyes sparkling.
Their eyes locked for a moment, and then Ryan blurted out nervously, Justin, could you not look at me like that? It’s making me feel like I’m developing feelings for you!” “Thanks for the compliment. If it wasn’t for your feelings toward Carrie, I might have thought you’d eventually develop feelings for me.” With that, Justin promptly assumed control of the helm from his crew and began steering himself.
“Wow, I gave you an inch, and you took a mile!” Ryan teased he wiped the seawater off his face, admiring Justin’s tall and co presence.
As time passed, he sighed at himself but also found more respec his best friend. Back then, he was naive and infatuated with Bella.
When she rejected him, it left him feeling foolish and down for quite while. Now, looking back, maybe Bella made the right choice not to be with him. How could a woman ever pay attention to someone like him after experiencing such masculinity?
Yet, strangely enough, there were no regrets or feelings of loss. In fact, he was grateful that things didn’t work out with Bella. If they had turned out differently, he would have never met Carrie, his true love and the woman he would spend the rest of his life with.
The waves churned and the water roared, but under Justin’s command, the boat seemed to have found its strength and sailed safely toward South Island across the rough sea.
Their boat was the first to dock two hours later, with others arriving one by one half an hour later. Night had fallen by this time, but luckily, the heavy rain had gradually eased off.
“The dark and windy night is perfect for our plans. Let’s go, Justin!” Ryan strapped two guns to his waist, and his eyes sparkled with unexpected excitement!
Rumors said that Ryan was a daredevil. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the life-threatening risk ahead, almost treating it like another survival game he commonly engaged in.
“Do you think this is just another one of your jungle adventures? You only have one life. Once it’s gone, there are no second chances.” Justin was dressed in black overalls and tall boots. The veins back of his large hand holding the weapon bulged. Justin exud strong sense of strength and a touch of unbridled wildness.
“You’re different now. You’re not alone anymore. You have my siste You’re not free from ties.” When his beloved wife was mentioned, Ryan’s heart tightened, and he pressed his lips together. Yes, he has a family now to care for. In the past, his heart had seemed as hard as stone, but now it has softened like a sponge. Even Linny’s passing had nearly brought him to collapse. If anything were to happen to him now, what would become of his beloved wife?
“Mr. Salvador, Mr. Hoffman! Look! A helicopter is approaching!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 998-Both of them turned their heads and saw a helicopter swiftly approaching them.
Everyone immediately went into combat mode, nervously pulling out their guns and aiming in the direction of the helicopter.
“There’s no need to be nervous. It’s probably not an enemy.” Justin was the only one who remained calm and composed, showing no change in his expression, as steady as a mountain.
“How are you so sure?” Ryan asked in astonishment.
“If it were the enemy, they would have been shooting at us already from this distance. The fact that they haven’t made any moves yet, suggests that their intention is not to harm us.” Ryan nodded vigorously in agreement. “That makes sense!” The helicopter landed smoothly on the beach, kicking up a irlwind of sand that blinded everyone.
Amidst the raging wind, Justin stood with his eyes fixed or disembarking from the helicopter.
In the following instant, his eyes widened in shock!
“Oh shit! It’s…it’s…the king of the underworld, The Matrix!” Ryan blurted out.
When Ryan witnessed the imposing approach of Asher and his grou of men from KS Group, he became so fearful that he immediately hi behind Justin.
Despite being known as the notorious “Prince of Savrow”, he was gripped by fear at this moment. It wasn’t just a random person. It was “The Matrix”. His notorious reputation preceded him and cast an overwhelmingly intimidating shadow on the hearts of others.
At that moment, Justin and Asher locked eyes, sparking a silent confrontation between them.
“What are you doing here, Asher?” Justin’s eyes held a sharp edge as he spoke coldly.
“We are here for the same reason. Is there really a need to ask?” Asher spared no warmth for his former brother-in-law. Although he gradually understood Justin’s true feelings for Bella and his deep regret over past actions, there was an embedded stubbornness in the Thompson family. Even if they felt differently inside, they maintained stoic facades-a practice often referred to as “pretending to be calm while concealing true feelings.” Considering Justin’s initial cruel abandonment of Bella and enduring three years of “widowhood”, she even risked bec disabled on the battlefield for him. Under no circumstan Asher easily change his attitude toward him. For Asher, Bell d a star in the sky. If Justin wanted her, he would have to pu with the utmost determination.
Justin said firmly, “I’ll take care of Winston. Asher, there’s no nee you to be concerned.” Asher replied without backing down. “I am Bella’s older brother. Th matter concerns the Thompson family, so I will handle it.” “Ryan, let’s go.” Justin didn’t bother to argue further and was prepared to leave with his men.
“If I recall correctly, Mr. Salvador, you told my sister that you were on a business trip to Inalia.” Asher pointed out in a cold tone.
Justin turned back abruptly and met Asher’s gaze, only to find him smiling. “If Bella finds out that you lied to her, regardless of your intentions behind it all, do you truly believe she wouldn’t be angry?
She would be furious.” “Don’t tell her!” Justin’s heart raced as he hurried toward Asher with a plea in his voice. “Asher, everything I’ve done has been for Bella’s sake. But I’m afraid if she finds out I’m going after Winston, she’ll impulsively join me despite the risks.
I can’t bear seeing the woman I love in danger because of me! But if I don’t personally resolve this matter for Bella, then what sort of man am I? What right do I have to protect her?” Filled with intense emotions, his words touched the hearts of all who listened.
Asher furrowed his brows.
Ryan felt a strong urge to give his best friend a pat on the b “Asher, I know that even now, you still resent me. You blam causing Bella so much anguish and for abandoning her like a heartless monster
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 999-Justin’s eyes started to turn red, and his voice was hoarse, almost pleading. “All I’ve been doing is trying to make things right. I’m ready to put my life on the line for her happiness, even if none of you can forgive me. Just please keep Bella safe. You’re her eldest brother. You understand her better than anyone!” He was genuinely scared of upsetting Bella. Their relationship had only just begun to improve, and he didn’t want everything to go back to square one. But more than anything else, he feared for her safety.
Asher had only intended to test him, but he hadn’t expected to elicit such heartfelt words from Justin. After a moment of contemplation, he said solemnly, “Fine, you can take action, but you have to do it with me.” While Justin geared up for battle at the front lines, the situation in Savrow was far from peaceful.
Today marked a significant partnership meeting between Corporation and Journey Ventures from Meridan. Gregory senior executives of the Salvador Group had arrived early at the conference room to prepare, but Justin was missing on such a crucial occasion.
Due to the previous scandal involving Shannon, the reputation of t Salvador Corporation had plummeted dramatically, even making headlines in international media.
The stock value had dropped for three consecutive days, sparking widespread panic. Although domestic projects may not be severely impacted, international business opportunities became uncertain as a result of these events.
At this crucial moment, the Thompson family in Hatchbay, the Iverson family in Savrow, and even the Hoffman family were likely to take advantage of the situation and seize market share from the Salvador Corporation abroad.
Now was the moment for Justin, the president of the company, to lead the group. It was the most crucial time to raise morale and maintain stability.
However, he was nowhere in sight, which seemed unbelievable!
At this point, Gregory sat in the conference room with a somber expression, exuding an intimidating chill. Meanwhile, shareholders and senior executives were engaged in hushed discussions.
“Is it possible that President Salvador won’t show up at this point?” “That’s impossible! President Salvador is well-known for hi commitment. He hasn’t missed a meeting in years. Barring extreme circumstances, he will show up as usual.” “That’s how it used to be with the old President Salvador. B Who knows?” “What do you mean by that?” “These days, President Salvador seems entirely focused on pursuin the heiress from the Thompson family. He’s always around her li an infatuated puppy.
Where would he find time or energy to focus o work?” “It seems like he’s preoccupied with making sure the young lady is happy, if you know what I mean.” Laughter erupted below.
“But seriously, with all the challenges both internal and external that our company is dealing with, along with our already tarnished reputation, if President Salvador doesn’t participate in such a crucial project, wouldn’t Journey Ventures feel like we’re neglecting them? Can we still move forward with the collaboration?” These whispers reached Gregory’s ears. He tightened his fists on the table as his brow furrowed even deeper.
At that moment, his phone vibrated. With a dark expression, Gregory glanced down at his phone and was momentarily taken aback as he saw his eldest son’s name, Grant, on the screen.
The meeting was set to begin in less than five minutes, so Gregory didn’t have time to answer the call and pushed his phone aside.
The meeting was officially bound to begin. In reality, no one ha much hope of a successful negotiation given that even the pre did not attend in person. Who would want to cooperate with su unprofessional company?
Ever since Justin took over as president of the company, he took ov negotiations for various meetings and projects, while Gregory typically only joined meetings for important matters. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel nervous as he leaned forward and waited anxiously.
A second later, the screen displayed the faces of Wilson Reed, the chairman of Journey Ventures, along with his son, Wilson Reed Jr., who served as the CEO.
Sitting beside them was a man who was unfamiliar to most of the executives present.
Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1000-“Who is that man?” “I don’t know… But don’t you think he resembles Chairman Salvador?” “Now that you mention it, he does look similar.” Gregory’s shoulders shook, his eyes widening in astonishment!
It was Grant Salvador! How could he be with Wilson Reed?!
It seemed they were unaware that the video call had already connected. Grant was still chatting amiably with Wilson Reed and Wilson Reed Jr., appearing quite familiar with them.
“Grant, you…” Gregory was still stunned, his carefully prepared script now in disarray.
At this moment, Grant was the first to react, turning to the screen and gracefully waving at his father. “Dad, long time no see.” Everyone was shocked!
Could it be possible that the distinguished and polished man sta before them was actually the chairman’s long-lost eldest son, the young master of the Salvador family?
At this point, Wilson Reed also smiled at Gregory and said, “Chairman Salvador, I think we can delve deeper into our discussion about cooperation.” As soon as the meeting ended, Matt reported it to Nigel.
“Old Master Nigel, we have successfully secured a strategic cooperation agreement with Journey Ventures.” “Oh, really? That went well.” Nigel was taken aback by the news but was satisfied after the substantial discussion.
“In that case, arrange for him to fly to Meridan today in order to meet.
with Mr. Wilson Reed and finalize the contract without any delays!” Matt replied, “The contract has already been signed right on the spot.” “That fast?” Nigel was extremely surprised at their quick response. “Journey Ventures and our company have never worked together before, and I’m aware that several local conglomerates are competing to partner with them on very attractive terms. Why would they be so willing to collaborate with us?” Matt blinked and lowered his voice. “Young Master Grant signed the agreement in Meridan immediately with Mr. Wilson Reed, handling negotiations himself instead of Young Master Justin.” Nigel’s pupils narrowed, and his expression became serious.
“At the meeting today, everyone was taken aback by the unexpected presence of Young Master Grant next to Mr. Wilson Reed and his son. I doubt even you, Old Master, could have anticipated that Young Master Grant, who has been quietly recovering in Meridan, would be so closely connected to the Reed family,” Matt hinted subtly.
Nigel picked up on Matt’s subtle suggestions and knew exactly what he was trying to say.
“Matt, do you think my eldest grandson might suddenly return to Savrow?” Nigel asked urgently.
Matt hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
“And what about Justin? Why hasn’t he been around lately? Has he attended any group meetings?” Nigel’s impatience grew as his brows furrowed. “His family’s assets. are almost stolen, yet there is not a sign of concern from him. Does he believe that being president means he can relax? Why does he seem more naive the longer he lives?” “Old Master, Young Master Justin is not in the country right now. He’s gone abroad.” “What? Where in the world has he gone?” Matt couldn’t help but smile wryly. “I’m not sure where he went. I haven’t been able to find out. But I reached out to Wilma privately, and she mentioned that it seems like Young Master Justin is dealing with some crucial business for Ms. Thompson. It’s a type of matter th can’t be avoided.” Nigel was momentarily stunned, then he sighed softly, sensing som of his frustration dissipating.
In his eyes, even the smallest matter concerning Bella was significant. How could he not understand? He recalled how, in the past, he had approached Bella’s grandmother with the same fervor, ready to give up his status as heir just to be with the woman he loved.
But… Nigel sighed. “Matt, I’m afraid the road ahead for my grandson won’t be easy. There can’t be two tigers on one mountain.
