Divorced but Delighted novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 The Reunion

As they turned their heads, they met Jaquan’s icy and indifferent gaze.

In that instant, Belle felt a wave of guilt wash over her.

Her sister was easily fooled, but her nephew was no fool.

Belle quickly tried to cover up her mistake with a smile. “Oh Jaquan, you personality. I speak before I think. Don’t you know how I treat you guys?”

How did she treat them? Jaquan hadn’t forgotten.

When his parents were still struggling, Belle used to badmouth Sarah, saying that Sarah had married the wrong person and asked for trouble.

Belle also would say things like, “The Chester family is a well-known family in Los Angeles, why marry a laborer?”. Her speeching was always annoying.

But times changed quickly, and the Dunphy family had firmly established themselves in Los Angeles, becoming part of the upper class, completely silencing Belle.

Belle’s attitude had also changed just as quickly as the times.

She no longer spoke those irritating words, and would often visit Sarah, asking about the Dunphy family’s business and Charle’s situation whenever she had the chance.

Even a young Jaquan could see Belle’s intentions clearly.

Sarah was too naive and sheltered by Charle, so she didn’t realize Belle’s true intentions, always greeting her with a smile.

But Belle’s schemes had never received a response from Sarah or anyone else. She was always left in the dark.

Back then, Belle was arranged to marry someone in New York.

If Sarah weren’t afraid that Belle would suffer in the new family, she wouldn’t have traveled all the way to New York during her pregnancy.

But Belle used the visit as gossip material to chat with others behind Sarah’s back.

She said that Sarah went on a trip when she was heavily pregnant, and because of fate, she lost Cierra during the earthquake.

So the Dunphy family was unlucky and everything was their own fault? Jaquan sneered

in his heart.

Belle’s gossip finally shattered Sarah’s naivete, and Sarah never again opened up to

Belle.

But their blood relationship could not be broken, and they had to maintain contact as

sisters.

Sarah began to give Belle a cold shoulder. When Cierra was still not found and Belle divorced her husband, Belle would often come and advise them to give up the search for Cierra, saying, “Life and death are predetermined.”

At the time, Jaquan’s father was furious and almost had a falling out with the Chester family. But after Belle’s father forced Belle to apologize, the matter was finally resolved.

In the years that followed, because of their unpleasant past, Belle rarely visited.

Jaquan didn’t feel like confronting Belle today, so he looked up and locked eyes with

Draven instead.

What an esteemed guest, he snorted.

As they stared at each other, sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Both were in positions of power, exuding an intimidating aura.

Unfortunately for Draven, he was much younger than Jaquan and couldn’t bear the

pressure.

Moreover, he had come to apologize rather than engage in a verbal sparring match, so he took the initiative to back down.
