The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 483

Bethany finally tasted freedom after being held for three days in custody.

Hunter Lovett instructed Gregory to contain the news by all means necessary, but Justin caught wind of it right away.

“How did Bethany get off without charges? Don’t you have eyes on

Xena? Did Hunter approach her?” Justin pounded the car window with a menacing look.

“Mr. Salvador, the issue isn’t Xena. It’s Henry.”

lan was fuming. “Our sources revealed that Hunter met with Henry in secret at the detention center with Gregory’s help. I don’t know what he said to intimidate Henry, but Henry took all of the blame, so Bethany is cleared of suspicion.”

“What else could he say? Hunter likely exploited something personal about him and threatened his family’s safety.”

The top attorney had no qualms about resorting to underhanded tactics.

Justin grimaced, his clenching fits shaking. “Neil’s reputation as a fair judge is ruined by his eldest son.”

“Now that Henry has become the scapegoat, Xena might be in-”

A phone call interrupted lan.

“What is it?”

With furrowed brows, lan reported back to Justin after ending the call.

“I have bad news, Mr. Salvador. The police have arrested Xena for defamation and falsifying evidence.

That was to be expected.

Xena had it coming.

Still, Justin saw red.

Meanwhile, Bethany cried on the way back to Tideview Manor for her new lease on life.

Shannon and Bethany embraced each other in tears, playing out the loving mother and daughter in front of Gregory and Nigel.

Years ago, Shannon could not act to save her life. Now, her acting was the essence of her being.

“Mom! Dad! You must avenge me. Bella and Zoe screwed me over real bad.”

Bethany would not miss a chance to put Bella down in front of Nigel. She ran and fell on her knees before Nigel’s wheelchair. “Grandpa, Bella is trying to ruin me. She’s manipulative and wicked. I’m lucky

Mr. Lovett got me out, or you won’t be seeing your lovely granddaughter again.”

Nigel did not know what to feel about Bethany’s accusation.

He did not believe that Bella, affectionately known to him as Anna, was what Bethany described her to be. But on the other hand, the police mentioned that Anna had filed charges against Bethany.

Nigel was once again caught between a rock and a hard place.

The last time he was in that position was during Salvador Corporation’s rapid development over twenty years ago.

In a rapid bid to dominate the market and expand Salvador Corporation, Nigel’s two sons, Gregory and Gary, became embroiled in a bribery scandal involving land acquisition. Ultimately, Gary shouldered the blame entirely due to Nigel’s bias towards the eldest, Gregory, and Gregory’s ill health. Gary was sentenced to four years in prison.

To Nigel’s dismay, Gary died of a heart attack in prison six months into his sentencing.

Nigel mourned the loss of his youngest son, but the death drove

Nigel’s wife to despair, and her health succumbed to the weight of her sorrows.

“Grandpa, I told you Bella doesn’t mean well. She must have ulterior motives to marry into our family.” novelbin

Bethany leaned against Nigel, bawling her eyes out. “Bella shows kindness to get something out of you. She probably wants to sc you out of the company shares.”

“That’s right, Nigel.”
