The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 1206

Justin understood Bella's intentions and hugged her tenderly. "| know you're doing this for Amelia. Everything you do is to prevent her from marrying into the Iverson family."

His understanding made her feel bittersweet, and she murmured in his arms, "I just hate myself for not being strong enough. This is the only way | can think of. Do you think I'm ridiculous?"

Justin felt a tingle in his nose as he gently stroked her back. "No, | think you're very smart. At the moment, this is the best way. And | don't think Wilson will hold a grudge against Chairman Thompson for this. A true businessman weighs the pros and cons. He should still choose KS Group. Even if you can't cooperate with Journey Ventures, don't worry. With me in charge, Iverson Group won't have an easy time."

Bella was moved, her eyes brimming with tears. Although she had a father who was a top businessman and brothers who were capable, she was stubbornly independent. She had always dealt with difficulties on her own and did not rely on anyone. She did not want to worry her loved ones.

Justin was the first person she wanted to rely on, and she wanted to lean on him for the rest of her life. Suddenly, the tranquil atmosphere was shattered by a loud noise.

"Who is it?" Both of them frowned deeply, turning to look in the direction of the sound.

At that moment, a figure flashed past.

"Justin, we must catch the person hiding in the dark. He might be eavesdropping!" Bella's eyes narrowed coldly. "Our conversation just now involved business secrets. If it reaches the ears of the Iverson family it will be troublesome!"

Justin nodded sternly, his handsome face cold and resolute as he dashed in the direction the shadow had disappeared.

Justin was skilled and had excellent eyesight, quickly catching up to the person. "Stop! Don't make me attack you." The person stood with his back to him, slightly bent over. The man was panting heavily and was in a bad state. Justin furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of familiarity with the man. "Who are you?"

"Mr. Salvador."

The man turned around slowly.

In the moonlight, Justin saw the man's heavily scarred face, and his pupils widened in astonishment. "Steven?!" At that moment, Bella rushed over as well.novelbin

She noticed that Steven was covered in dust. His suit was tattered and torn, his clear face marred with bruises, and his left eye was swollen and bloodshot.

"Steve!" Bella ran to Steven in panic, her trembling hands gripping his shoulders and her voice hoarse with anxiety. "What happened... What happened?! Who did this to you?!"

Steven gritted his teeth, turning his face away in embarrassment. He didn't want her to see his miserable state, but there was no avoiding it.

"Talk to me, Steve... Damn it, talk to me!" Bella's eyes turned red with urgency as she shook his battered body forcefully.

"Bella! Please calm down!" Justin quickly wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, holding her tightly. "Steven is injured. Shaking him like this will only hurt him more!" 

Bella's chest ached, feeling both pained and suffocated. She was gasping for breath, yet she couldn't calm down.

"Steven, now that things have come to this, do you still want to hide it?" Justin held the trembling woman tightly, his voice solemn. "Do you think hiding it is good for Bella? This way, she'll only feel more miserale and tormented!"

"Ms. Bella... Can you please not let Amelia marry Charles?" Steven couldn't hold back anymore, tears, streaming down his cheeks unconsciously. "As long as Amelia doesn't marry Charles, I'll do anything!" Bella instantly understood, her eyes turning bloodshot. "Were you attacked by someone from the Iverson family?"

Justin also came to the same conclusion, and his fist clenched involuntarily.
