The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 1361

"We are no strangers to Ms. Thompson's commendable character. If my brother was such a scumbag, do you think Ms. Thompson would operate on him? Wouldn't that make her a silent accomplice?" James' carefully worded statement caused tensions to rise.

The Iverson brothers were cut from the same cloth. Charles was beyond redemption right from the start, and the whole world was aware that he was not a good man. Instead of apologizing for his brother's bac behavior, James tried to help Charles get away with it. It did not matter how the world saw James.

However, Bella was a different story. By making the surgery public in a delicate moment, James was hinting that Bella was on the Iversons' side. James planted doubt in the public's minds. Though Bella had her moments, she stood by the lversons when it counted.

"The incident with my brother has taken up a lot of public resources. I'd like to apologize to everybody on behalf of him and the Iverson group."

James hunched over. "With the public and all sectors as our witnesses, we will be strict on ourselves to lead by example." The news came to an abrupt end. Bella scowled hard.

"Damn it! James is the son of a bitch! He's so desperate to name the young madam as a complicit." The overwhelming emotions made lan's voice tremble and his eyes turn red-rimmed.

Sure, Bella was not happy. However, she was a lot calmer than before. Her man was not having it, though.

Justin's grip on her hand was icy to the touch. Bella could even feel his gradually tightening hold and veins creeping on the back of his hand.

They were the same type of people.

It was no big deal when it came to matters involving themselves.

However, they could not stand

troubles came in the way of the people they cared for. 

Bella looked up at Justin's grimace. His heaving chest would brush against her back when he took breaths.

His prolonged silence was a telltale sign of his growing anger.

"Don't be mad, Justin. It's not worth it."

Bella gave his hand a squeeze and consoled him softly, "He's just a bastard. He can do his worst, but he's all bark and no bite.

"| don't care about him at all, so don't let him get to you."

"How can | not? I'm not heartless!"

Justin hyperventilated, his fist in her soft grasp shaking. "I will make him pay. James will suffer a worse fate than Charles."

"| think he deserves a good ass-whooping too, but we can't lose our composure over his taunting.”

Bella placed her hands on his throbbing head with worry, giving him a gentle massage. "You know how bad your migraines can get. Being too emotional won't do you any good. Even if you don't care, you ought to think about me too."

Even so, Justin could not keep a cool head when it came to Bella. His logic was out the door in the face of love.

"Young Madam, the public opinion doesn't look favorable to you. I'm guessing James has hired internet trolls. Han scrolled through the mean comments, his fingers nearly puncturing the mobile screen.

"Get the PR team on it," Justin commanded.
