The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1184

The dinner concluded with a suffocating atmosphere.

Upon learning about the news of her marriage alliance with the Iverson family, Amelia acted like she was sitting on needles. Her delicate face lost all color as if all the blood had been drained from her body, feeling cold from head to toe.

On the way home, she sat in the same car as her mother, not even having the chance to talk to Wyatt.

“Mom… Why?”

Tears shone in Amelia’s eyes as she choked up, asking, “You know I love Steven... You know that I only want to marry him. Why… Why do you want me to marry into the Iverson family?!”

Bitterness surged in Celeste’s heart, but she still replied calmly, “Your father and I think this is a more suitable marriage for you. Steven’s personality is great, but we disapprove of his family. Based on what I know, the Lovett family doesn’t like you and me. If you insist on marrying Steven and enter into a marriage his parents disagree with, you will suffer every day. Even your strong sister, Bella, has ended up with a divorce after spending three miserable years with the Salvador family.”

Celeste continued, “Moreover, Hunter has taken a stand against our family, throwing aside the kindness we’ve shown him in the past and becoming Shannon’s defense lawyer. I know a professional lawyer should not pick their cases, but Shannon has repeatedly tried to harm your sister and…”

Recalling the slanders and humiliation she suffered from Shannon when she was still an actress, Celeste still felt her heart ache. “Hunter’s actions and his parents’ indulgence are something your father and I can’t tolerate. The Lovett family has lost their morals, and we don’t want to become their in-laws.”

“But… But Steven is different from them!”

Amelia felt as if her heart was squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, a lump forming in her throat. “Steven… Since he graduated, he has been working for Asher and Bella. Couldn’t Dad see how loyal he was to our family?! If we completely deny Steven’s efforts because of this, how upset would he be?!”

Being genuinely innocent and caring, Amelia did not think of her future first. Instead, she felt indignant for Steven. “Bella told me that she divorced Justin not because of pressure from the Salvador family. It’s because Justin didn’t love her back then and betrayed her. But Steven has never betrayed me!”

Celeste’s lashes fluttered, and she pursed her lips.

Amelia added, “Steven is nice to me... He is really nice…”

Thinking of the wonderful times and moments of happiness she spent with Steven, Amelia’s tears could not help streaming down her face. “Mom, I think I will never find another man that treats me so well... I don’t want to lose him… I’ve loved him for so many years. I have had a crush on him since I was young… Now, I can finally be with him. Please convince Dad not to separate us, okay?”
