The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 539

Jessa had always known it, somewhere deep inside, but she’d never let herself believe it. “I’m the one who’s destined for greatness. Ella’s just some nobody from the countryside. How could she possibly compare to me?”

David’s eyes turned cold. “Who told you it was okay to insult Ella?”

A bodyguard stepped forward and slapped Jessa hard across the face.

The sound echoed in the room.

Her head whipped to the side, but the hits kept coming. Another slap, then another, each one landing harder than the last.

Before long, both of Jessa’s cheeks were puffy and red, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

“Please, stop! It hurts!” Jessa cried, her voice shaking as she begged.

David lifted his hand slightly, and the bodyguard stepped back.

Her knees buckled, and she collapsed onto the floor. Jessa had been spoiled her whole life, never touched like this. Now her ears were ringing, and her teeth felt loose.

David stared down at her, his expression icy. “I don’t want to hear you say another word against Ella. Consider this your warning.”

Jessa looked at him, desperate. He sat there in his black suit, looking perfectly composed, but there was a dangerous edge to him that made her tremble.

The way he looked at her now was so dark and cold, Jessa felt a chill run through her whole body.

She crawled across the floor and grabbed onto David’s leg. “David, please, don’t do this to me. I can’t lose you. You have no idea how scared I am of losing you.”

David didn’t even glance back. His voice was calm, almost emotionless. “You should have thought about the consequences before you pretended to be Ella and tried to mess with me. Letting you suffer like this is the kindest thing I can do. You have no idea what Ella and I have lost.”

Tears streamed down Jessa’s face. She felt like she was already in hell, and David was the one deciding her fate.

“David, please, I’m begging you. I was wrong, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”

David just said, “If saying sorry fixed everything, we wouldn’t need the police. Jessa, you’re only getting what you deserve.”

“No, my parents will save me. They have to save me!”

David let out a low laugh. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure the entire Irvine family pays for this. None of you are getting away.”
