The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 500

Hunter had always looked down on this “useless” brother of his.

Hunter thought that Steven was worth nothing because all he wanted. to do was serve Bella tea and pick up after her like an ambitionless lackey.

But Hunter did not expect the famed Wyatt Thompson -the riches man in Hatchbay-to say that he saw Steven as his godson.

Wyatt was obviously taking Steven’s side and implicitly supporting him!

The worst part was that Wyatt had even praised Steven in front of everybody.

Was Wyatt not using this as an excuse to subtly insult Hunter?

Right then, each of the Thompson children wore different expressions. Bella’s red lips curled up as she nearly laughed out loud.

Oh, Wyatt. How shady.

Hunter probably never expected when he came here that tonight would be a trap set for him, did he?

“Chairman Thompson, that’s very generous of you to say about our son!”

Neil and Chelsea Lovett were startled. Neil felt surprised and happy, but he still waved his hands repeatedly. “How could my youngest son be your godson? That’s not appropriate! It’s enough that he works for KS Group. We wouldn’t dare hope for anything else!”

“Neil, we’ve known each other for so many years. I won’t lie to you. I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart. If Steven wasn’t a good child, I would never consider him my godson. Don’t you think so?”

The more Wyatt praised Steven, the more he was insulting Hunter.

Hunter clenched his fist in fury under the table as his eyes reddene

He was just about to find an excuse to leave the table when Wya said casually, “Bella, when you see Asher in a few days, help me to convey a message to him on my behalf.” novelbin

“What is it, Daddy?” Bella propped her chin on her hand and asked coyly.

“I’ve approved the proposal he passed to me a few days ago to acquire Evergreen. He can start implementing it any time.”

Hunter was stunned.

He felt like he had been struck by lightning.

Evergreen was the biggest shareholder in his law firm.

If Wyatt Thompson acquired Evergreen, would that not mean Wyat would be taking complete control of Hunter’s law firm?!

So that was what it was!

Hunter gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with hatred, as his back. broke out into a cold sweat that drenched his suit.

He did not dare to look up at Wyatt and Bella, but he knew their gazes at the moment had to be as sharp as knives and would flay him from head to toe!

Wyatt invited their family over for dinner and said it was to catch up, but that had not been his true intention.

In truth, Wyatt was using this opportunity to knock Hunter down a peg, get back at Hunter for Bella, and show Hunter who was the best.

Wyatt wanted to make Hunter understand the consequences of goi against his most precious daughter!

After dinner, the Lovetts did not rush to leave. They sat in the living. room, chatting in groups.

It was a rare occasion for Bella to see her two brothers, so they naturally had a lot to talk about. Meanwhile, Axel and Clarence were part of the same industry, so they were quite familiar with one another. Thus, the four of them sat together, chatting and laughing as they even started playing Halli Galli.

Just as Bella was enjoying herself, she accidentally knocked over the glass of red wine on the table.

The red wine spilled all over her, dripping down her fair, slender calves. Even her feet had been stained red.

“I’ll wipe it for you!” Axel hurriedly looked for a tissue.

“I’ll do it!” Ralph also hurriedly searched for something he could wipe with.

“Then…me too?” After all, the atmosphere had reached this point. It would not be appropriate if Clarence did not make some sort of gesture, right?

Just as the three adult men were scrambling to wait on Bella, a tall,

handsome figure arrived and knelt at her feet on one knee.

Bella looked down in surprise, her long eyelashes trembling.

Only to see Steven had rushed to her side immediately. He took out a handkerchief that he always carried on him and picked up her fo with his left hand before patiently and gently wiping the wine off wi the handkerchief in his right hand.

Bella panicked all of a sudden and pulled her foot back.

But Steven did not care about this and focused on wiping her foot.

He did it so seriously and innocently, as if there was nothing strangel about his action and it was only a part of his job as her secretary.

Everyone watched dumbfoundedly.

When Amelia, who was just chatting with her mother, saw this scene, it felt like her heart sank from the heavens into the abyss. She trembled.

Her clear eyes reddened, and she bit her lip in sadness, feeling as if something in her chest had cracked and cut her deeply.

“Mommy, I’m not feeling so well… I’m going upstairs to rest first.”

Amelia hung her head low, using her long hair to hide her reddened eyes as she gathered the last of her strength to escape.

“Amelia? Amelia!”

Celeste called after her daughter in concern, but the more she called for her, the quicker she ran.

Bella saw that Steven had quickly finished wiping her foot and was about to help her wipe her calf when she panicked, pulled her legs back, and suddenly stood up.

Steven looked up at her deeply, his gaze bright.

Bella glanced sideways at the man who was looking at her like a devout worshiper would his goddess and sighed before saying quietly, “You’re not here as my secretary tonight. You are the youngest son of the Lovetts. And even if you were my secretary, yo didn’t have to go this far. I’ll just go rinse it off.”

After saying that, she turned to leave, leaving Steven frozen in a kneeling posture in front of everyone.
