The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

The only potential breakthrough was in capturing Winston's superior, Maxwell. With Maxwell's confirmation, Christopher's dark past will finally come to light.

However, Bella could not disclose all this to Wyatt, as sharing too much might raise suspicions prematurely and disrupt her and Justin's plans. Therefore, she had to proceed cautiously. "Alright. I'll reconsider my decision once you secure the evidence."

Wyatt felt a thin layer of sweat form on his forehead, drained of energy to argue further. With a cold expression, he headed toward the door.

Sensing his discomfort, Quentin hurriedly followed suit.

"Wyatt! You heartless, selfish, cold-blooded capitalist!"

Bella angrily yelled after her father as he walked away, her eyes filled with rage. "I hate you! I hate you so much!"

Wyatt felt as though a sharp blade had pierced his heart from behind, leaving a raw, bleeding wound in his heart, causing him to stagger in pain.

It reminded him of the last time Bella had yelled at him with such intensity, expressing her hatred, when the love of his life, Bella's mother, passed away. He simply could not understand.

Ever since Bella was born, he has given her the best of everything.

He could even sacrifice every member of the family and every drop of his blood to pave the way for her and create a secure and prosperous future for her.

But why did it end up like this? How did his daughter resent him so much?

"Didn't you want to be with Justin?"

Wyatt's back remained turned against her, his voice icy and distant. "The love you're pursuing isn't blessed by many, and those who oppose it will undoubtedly cause trouble. My actions serve two purposes: to fulfill your wishes and stabilize KS Group, while also ensuring Amelia's prosperous marriage. So, why wouldn't I do it?"

Bella's shoulders dropped, her disappointment threatening to overwhelm her, constricting her throat and suffocating her.

"I'm not only your father but also the KS Group's chairman. I cannot ignore the risks to the group for the sake of your romantic pursuits. Furthermore, the freedom I've given you is unparalleled. I cannot please everyone. You should learn to be content, Bella."

Bella took half a step back, her expression bewildered.

For the first time, she realized just how formidable Wyatt could be.

On her way back to the bedroom, Bella's clothes were soaked with sweat, leaving her feeling completely drained.

Her chest was filled with anguish, making her feel suffocated and bloated with discomfort.

No, she could not allow Amelia to marry into the Iverson family, whether it was Charles or Christopher. Both were not worthy of her sister!

While Wyatt did not understand Christopher's horrible character, Bella knew it all too well. Thus, no matter the cost, she was determined to prevent the marriage alliance between the two families.

Just as she contemplated seeking out Amelia to offer her comfort, Bella's phone rang.

Justin's call pierced through her troubled thoughts like a ray of m sunshine, momentarily easing her distress. 

However, her mood soured as she recalled the recent argument with her father, realizing that her relationship with Justin indirectly led to Wyatt pressuring Amelia into a marriage alliance with the Iversons. A profound sense of guilt gripped her like a thorny wheel grinding against her heart. 

After a brief moment, Bella answered the call slowly, "Justin..."

"What's wrong? You sound upset. Did you miss me?" Justin's deep voice entered her ear, tender and indulgent.

Bella rubbed her eyes, feeling more upset. "Yeah..."

The man chuckled softly, his breath intoxicating even over the phonen "Then stop dwelling on it. Come out.

Let's meet."
