The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Christopher sat upright the moment the call got through.
"Sir..."
"It must be midnight there, Mr. Iverson. Why aren't you in bed yet?"
The person who answered the call was Clarice.
Christopher was surprised. "Ms. Amaryllis?"
"It's morning here in Meridan. He is a guest at the Reeds' place and doesn't have time to take your call."
Clarice's perky voice bore disdain. "You can just let me know what you want to say, and I'll relay the message."
Christopher frowned and clenched his fists.
Despite serving the man tirelessly for so many years, Christopher still felt a void within him and an invisible barrier between
himself and the man. He doubted whether the man even regarded him as a confidant.
Yet Clarice managed to gain the man's trust in a short amount of time. She could even take his personal calls.
The man, wise and strong as he was, lost himself to a woman.
"If there's nothing you want to talk about, I should get back to him, Mr. Iverson." Clarice had no patience for Christopher.
"I have given the medicine to Ms. Thompson, and she has accepted it.”
"Oh, that's great. Congratulations. Ms. Thompson accepted something of yours for once." Clarice mocked.
Christopher seemed hesitant. "There's nothing wrong with the drug, right?"
"Hahaha. Are you doubting him, Mr. Iverson?"
Clarice sneered, "Do you think he has nothing better to do? He only stepped in because you asked. Otherwise, Bella would've
gotten together with Justin a long time ago and had more children than they could count. You wouldn't stand a chance to win her.
"Oh, I forgot. Justin had his way with Bella, and she lost her uterus. She can't give birth anymore. Hahaha."

Christopher's clenched fist shook violently. "Show some respect, Ms. Amaryllis. Bella is the love of my life. She has never upset
you."
"How do you know she never upset me?" Clarice's voice turned menacing.
"What?"
"Haha. I'm just kidding. The drug will work wonders on Wyatt, even better than the Larsons' developed drug. You have nothing to
worry about.
Once he gets better, the let will be grateful to you. You can't come on strong to Bella. to take things slow. Shte it and change her
attitude once you help save her father."
Clarice hung up before Christopher could say anything.
Christopher hid his pale face in the darkness, biting his lip until it bled.
The morning soon arrived.
Upon learning the truth, none of the Thompsons could sleep. They kept by Wyatt's side, their eyes bloodshot from the lack of
rest.
Celeste, Sasha, and Amelia came to the hospital with breakfast, but no one had the appetite to eat. They sat there, waiting for
the test results.
In Justin's jacket, Bella sat still on the chair for hours on end. She did not slouch in the slightest.
Justin texted lan and Ryan to see if they had other ways to tackle the issue. He only enlisted help from someone he trusted due
to the severity of the matter.
All Justin could do was keep Bella company and hold her cold hand tightly in his grasp.
