The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045 

The horrifying kidnapping incident was a past that no one in the Salvador family wanted to mention. 

Years ago, both of the young Salvador brothers got kidnapped by a notorious gang of kidnappers. The kidnappers held them captive in an old warehouse deep in the mountains, infested with cockroaches and rats, and demanded a huge ransom from the Salvador family. 

Justin could not recall how many days the kidnappers held them captive in the filthy, damp, and foul-smelling place, with no sight of 

the sun. 

As a child, they subjected him to daily beatings and abuse. Fearing he would run away, they only fed him once every three days. Justin barely survived all these. 

Later, his older brother, four years his senior, seized an opportunity to 

hold back the kidnappers, giving Justin a chance to escape. 

In the forest, Justin stumbled and ran without looking back fol 

seemed like an eternity, until his strength gave out. He then tun 

down the hillside. 

Fortunately, a hunter rescued him. Upon regaining consciousness 

Justin immediately contacted the authorities, providing them with th kidnappers’ whereabouts and eventually returning home safely. 

However, Grant was not as fortunate as Justin. 

Enraged, the ruthless kidnappers beat Grant to a pulp, locking him inside a cramped shipping container for five days without food or 

water. Despite being 

family, Grant only managed to survive by drinking his own urine. 

Three days later, after receiving the hefty ransom, the kidnappers stripped Grant naked, bound him tightly, and callously dumped him outside the gates of the Tideview Manor in broad daylight before brazenly making their escape. 

As a result of the brutal beatings and prolonged confinement in a sealed space, Grant suffered damage to his internal organs and severe oxygen deprivation, leading to premature aging of his bodily functions. The medical expenses for his treatment and hospitalization alone amounted to over $500,000 per day. 

In other words, Grant’s life depended solely on money over the years. 

This incident cast a lifelong trauma on the entire Salvador family. 

It was precisely because of this that Justin felt immense guilt toward 

his elder brother. 

Besides, this was also why Gregory who had always been stern exacting, showed extreme favoritism toward his eldest son and 

harbored resentment toward Justin. 

“But now that you’re the heir, he shouldn’t meddle in your busine 

lan remained indignant. “The last time you didn’t show up, the 

management of the company already complained about you. His 

intervention at that crucial moment, reaching a collaboration deal, has garnered much support for him within the company. Even Chairman Salvador has been in frequent contact with him lately.” 

“Mr. Salvador, I know you’re loyal and compassionate, but the 

Salvadors are nothing like the Thompsons. Blood ties mean nothing in the face of power! You know better than anyone how you’ve made it through all these years! Even if Mr. Grant saved your life back then, even if he treated you well, you two are just half-brothers, and he’s the eldest son of the family. Can you really guarantee that he has no ulterior motives? Can you guarantee that he has no ambitions regarding the Salvador Corporation?” 

lan’s spit flew everywhere as he expressed his concerns, clearly 

exasperated.
