The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"You're foolish!" Nigel criticized angrily.
Feeling bad, Bella tried to speak up for Justin, but Nigel uttered, "You should've run things by me first. Why are you taking
matters into your own hands? Are you trying to piss off your old man?" "Grandpa, I—"
"I wouldn't be pleased if I were in your position. I was going to get even with your old man since he didn't even keep me in the
loop."
Nigel sighed frustratedly. "You should've told me so I could confront him. I could've restrained him without causing another strain
in your relationship with your dad. You know how petty your dad is. He'll hold onto grudges and will never let them go."
"I know you want to protect me, Grandpa, but I'm no longer that 5-year-old. I'm a grown-up now. It's my turn to watch over you,
Bella, and the Salvador Corporation."
Emotional, Justin drew close and got down on one knee to slip the slipper back on Nigel's foot. "Don't worry about me. I can
resolve my issues. You just retired, so you should be enjoying your life instead of fussing over me."
"Sigh... That's true. I'm just an old, useless fart," Nigel lamented, his eyes welling up.
Justin felt a lump in his throat. "Don't say that, Grandpa."
Bella took notice of Nigel's sorrow, a reflection of his internal conflict. He yearned to protect Justin, but his age made him realize
the limitations of his power.
She nearly choked with sobs.
"Tomorrow must be the trial," Nigel said solemnly.
The couple exchanged glances and nodded.
"Bring the gifts I prepared for the kids, Matt!" Nigel shouted out loud. He seemed to be in good health.
"Here they are, Mr. Salvador."
Matt brought two gifts over and gave one to Bella and the other to Justin.
"Anna, Justin, open them up." Nigel smiled amiably.

Happy to receive a gift, Bella eagerly opened the box.
The black sleeveless dress featured two delicate butterflies embroidered onto the fabric.
"It's the work of Febb from Helix Couture!" Bella ran her fingers along the needlework. She loved the dress.
"Hehe, you know your stuff, Anna."
Nigel gave Bella the thumbs up. "I want you to break free from your cocoon and fly!"
Justin opened his gift and saw a waistcoat of the same fabric as Bella's. He did not know how to
react. "Bella can wear hers, Grandpa, but what am I supposed to do with this?"
Nigel replied, "Well, it's your choice whether you want to wear it."
Justin was lost for words.
"Mr. Salvador gave you a suit to wear to court. It's a matching set with Ms. Thompson's dress, sir," Matt said with a smile.
Nigel wanted them to suit up for the trial tomorrow.
"I'll be cheering you on in the courtroom tomorrow." Nigel held their hands tight.
"Thank you, Grandpa Nigel." Bella, who normally had a lot to say, was speechless. She could only thank him over and over
again with tearful eyes.
Justin fought back the tears and grinned. "Bella and I will only be attending the trial. We're not going into battle. Why did you give
us these? But thank you. We will win the case."
