The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 691
“Bella, what are you saying?” Nigel was dumbfounded by Bella’s words. He stared blankly at her in disbelief.
“The situation was extremely chaotic at that moment. Some thugs
suddenly attacked us. I was preoccupied with protecting Aunt Celeste
and was unable to free my hands to defend myself. Those thugs were
skilled, and even our bodyguards couldn’t stop them...”
Bella recalled the moment when Justin took a blow to the head for
her.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her chest felt heavy, making her voice
hoarse. “In that critical moment, Justin rushed out to protect me. If it
weren’t for him, the one being treated right now would have been me.
Grandpa Nigel... It’s all my fault. I reacted too slowly. You can scold
me or hit me. This time, I owe it to Justin.”
Wyatt saw his daughter humble herself like this for Justin, which pained him greatly. “Bella...”

“Silly child, why are you so foolish!”
Nigel’s eyes were filled with tears as he quickly helped Bella up.
Whether it’s you or Justin, Grandpa will feel distressed if either of you gets hurt. If it were you lying inside, Grandpa would cry
even more bitterly!”
“Grandpa...” Bella was deeply moved. Her throat tightened, and she could hardly speak.
“Bella, Justin took this blow for you. You mustn’t feel guilty or blame
yourself.”
Nigel gently stroked Bella’s soft hair, his aged eyes filled with
tenderness for her. “That scoundrel treated you horribly for three
whole years, betraying your heart. Now that he’s in this state, he
deserves it. It’s his redemption! Don’t feel sorry for him. Let him take
the blow so he can clear his head a bit!”
Bella knew Grandpa was putting on a courageous act. After all, Justin
was his biological grandson. How could he not feel hurt?
“Old Master!” Matt hurriedly approached, looking concerned. “Mr.

Gregory and Ms. Shannon have arrived.”
Nigel’s expression darkened a bit. “Didn’t I say not to inform them for
now?”
“I did follow your instructions not to inform them, but with such a
major incident, news spreads fast.”
Before Matt could finish, a group of people approached them.
“Justin! Where’s Justin?!” Gregory walked toward them while loudly
inquiring. He rarely showed such concern for his second son.
However, this time, Gregory was in panic upon hearing that Justin had taken a blow to the head with a metal rod and was
bleeding
profusely. Justin was hanging between life and death.
The worry was etched all over Gregory’s face, and it seemed as if he
was growing gray hair on his temples.
Watching Gregory suddenly care so much about this illegitimate child, Shannon felt a burning hatred.
At the moment, she could only pretend to show concern and joined in crying, “Justin! Justin!”
Even Bethany couldn’t bear to watch, making a disgusted expression behind her mother, mocking the situation.
“Why all the yelling? Are you a bloody banshee?!” Nigel, supported by Bella and Matt, stood up shakily. His irritation was evident
in his voice.
“Dad! How is Justin doing?!” Gregory anxiously asked.
“He’s still getting treated. Getting anxious won’t help anyone. Just sit down and wait!” Nigel replied crudely.

“Mr. Thompson! I heard my son ended up like this because he was protecting your daughter. How are you going to make it up to
me?!” Gregory boldly approached Wyatt. If he weren’t a prominent figure in the business world, he might have grabbed Wyatt by
his collar already.
Seeing this, Asher quickly intervened. “Chairman Salvador, let’s handle this calmly.”
“Calmly? If it were your son lying inside, would you still stay ca ?!” Gregory was thoroughly angered by the Thompson family.
Ever his son divorced Bella Thompson, the Thompsons have been ca trouble one after another. Now, his son’s life was in
jeopardy beca of that girl. How could he calm down?
Shannon smirked inwardly, finding the situation amusing.
Initially, her goal was to ruin Celeste. But unexpectedly, this illegitimate child willingly stepped forward to protect her. If he wanted
to die so badly, she would gladly help him!
“Chairman Salvador, I understand. But Justin is inside now. Shouting
and causing a scene won’t solve any problems. Asher attempted to
mediate the situation.
