Chapter 12
Bella glanced at Steven.
Steven understood and walked over to open the door.
“Ms. Thompson!”
The vice president of the hotel, Michael Gordon, who was responsible for the mistakes yesterday, barged in. He was so quick that Steven could not stop him.
Bella frowned and watched as Michael rushed over to her desk.
“Mr. Gordon, why are you still here? I’ve approved your resignation, so you may find another job.”
“Ms. Thompson, you can’t do this to me! I have worked for this hotel for almost 20 years! I worked so hard for the hotel that I developed many illnesses due to exhaustion. Even your father wouldn’t fire me. How could you just fire me like this?!” Michael was sweating profusely as he yelled at Bella.
“I’ve read the details of all the hotel’s top executives. Your illness includes fatty liver and gallbladder polyps. It looks like you’ve got quite a big appetite.” Bella sneered.
Michael heard the sarcasm in her words and shuddered in fear. “I really didn’t know that Alia Furniture has been selling poor-quality bedding to our hotel! Alia Furniture has been cooperating with us for the past three years, and they quoted us a reasonable price. They are also a well-known
brand in Savrow, so I…”
Before he finished speaking, Bella flicked her hand and threw a document at his feet.
“This is a detailed account of all the transactions between the hotel and Alia Furniture in the past three years. Can’t you see that the financial report is full of loopholes when you’re in charge of the finance department?”
Michael picked up the document apprehensively and looked through it. The pages felt like red-hot
coals in his hands.
“I also received an anonymous report.”
Bella picked up the coffee mug and casually took a sip. Her eyes shone coldly. “Someone reported you, saying that you’ve had close contact with Alia Furniture and received a huge bribe from them to purchase Alia’s second-rate bedding in bulk.”
Michael was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and he almost lost his balance.
“I won’t fire anyone for no reason if I don’t have evidence. But I have the evidence, so I won’t show any mercy. Mr. Gordon, if you still have any objections, we will resolve the matter through legal
means.”
“Ms. Thompson, I’m sorry! I was blinded by the benefits and made the wrong decision. Please spare me! If this gets out, I won’t be able to find a job again in Savrow.”
Michael was so frightened that he almost begged her on his knees. “Alia Furniture approached me first, saying that they would make me a fortune! Mr. Gold came up with this idea. I thought that all mattresses were pretty much the same, so I didn’t think much about it and fell for his tricks.”
Bella laughed.
A vice president who had been in the hotel industry for 20 years started to act dumb in order to protect himself.
“That’s enough, Mr. Gordon. You know what you’ve done. Rather than wasting your time with me, it will be more practical if you go back and submit a few more resumes. Mr. Lovett will see you off!”
Michael’s face was filled with despair as he was driven out of the office like an unwanted dog.
Outside the office, Michael immediately changed his expression and took a deep breath.
“That bitch! I’ll teach her a lesson!”

Bella resented seeing the hotel’s executives fill their own pockets while disregarding the hotel’s
interests.
“Michael Gordon must have a bad reputation among the staff to have a whistleblower stand out as soon as you investigate him.” Steven looked excited, like he had gotten his revenge.
“No one reported him.”
“What?! Were you just bluffing?”
“Yup.”
Bella responded nonchalantly and started to play video games. Her way of de-stressing was to vent her anger by killing zombies. “Even if I was bluffing, he wouldn’t have admitted his fault if he was
innocent.”
Steven could not help but applaud this move. Bella was certainly a risk-taker. He said, “Michael and Alia Furniture have been working together for three years. It looks like he’s taken quite a big cut. We should sue him and make him spit out everything.”
“We should leave some room for maneuver, just in case. If I press on too hard, the other hotel. executives may form a coup! Also, Wyatt was the one who promoted Michael back then, so I should show my father some respect.”
Bella said nonchalantly while chasing some zombies in the game with a big axe, “During this period, get someone to keep an eye on Michael. If he contacts Rosalind’s brother again, report it to me immediately.”
“Yes, Miss!”
At this moment, Bella’s phone kept beeping with messages from a group chat.
“Steve, I’m not free now. Will you help me check who’s messaging me?” Bella concentrated on her
game.
Steven hurriedly came over to take Bella’s phone. “Oh, it’s a group chat called ‘The Thompson Family Secret Bureau’. Your brothers are messaging you.”
Axel was the one who created this group chat, with members including Bella and her four brothers. The reason it was called the Secret Bureau was because her marriage to Justin must be kept secret
from everyone else.
Bella was so shocked that she could not care less about the game and hurriedly grabbed her phone.
After all, Steven was not aware of her marriage and divorce yet. The fewer people who knew about it,
the better. Otherwise, she would be in big trouble if this news reached Wyatt:
[Axel (Bella’s second brother): I can’t stand it anymore! Justin Salvador is a complete asshole!]
[Declan (Bella’s third brother): I’ll check if Salvador Corporation has any illegal dealings and will try to make them bankrupt within a month!]
[Drew (Bella’s fourth brother): I will try to break Justin’s bones within a week.]
[Asher (Bella’s eldest brother): Amen.]
[Bella: Stop! Someone tell me what’s going on!]
A few seconds later, Axel sent her a link.
[Axel: That jerkface has already announced his new marriage. Not only that, some anonymous people commented that you were the homewrecker who stole someone’s love and forced that jerk’s hand in
marriage. That was the reason they separated in the first place.]
[Drew: Oh? Separated, huh? I’ll show them what real separation is…]
[Asher: Drew, fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.]
[Asher: Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil.]
[Axel: Ash, please stop talking. You’ll grow a halo soon if you continue.]
[Drew: Bella, I will take down all negative news about you in half an hour and remove news of Justin’s remarriage from trending topics.]
[Bella: Drew, don’t.]
[Bella: Let the storm come.]

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson)
I am reading this book from last year. Its very long story but at start i find enjoyable.Still there is no closure , dragging the story and the writer is running out of ideas. Its frustrating that they don't upload chapters regularly....
If you are about to start reading this “ongoing” book….don’t. It’s a great read but mo regular updates and leaves you hanging. Took me months to get to chapter 2370 (this app only has it to chapter 2368….learned to search different links to read ahead a bit). These ongoing books are just not worth the time since their author (s) take days/weeks to upload new chapters. Again great sultry, long drawn out at times, but not worth the frustration of no new updates....
No update in 6 days!!! Really??? I’m about over this story and ready to move on, the wait is to long....
Pls update regularly or least let us know why it's taking so long...
Ok I was thinking last night. I really hope the author hasn’t been affected by hurricane Helene. Not sure where they are located but I hope everyone is safe...
It’s been 87 years since the update with only 2 chapters. 🙄...
Why is it taking so long to update chapters....
Do u have plans to update more chapters or the story just end on Chapter 2270? It's been a while that no more chapter has been loaded yet. ty...
Pls update...
Please update. Thanks and more power!...
