The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1293

“In the future, please don’t hesitate to ask for anything you need!” Secretary Chad offered eagerly, treating Justin as if he were his own boss.

The temperature in the car began to rise as their lips and teeth intertwined in a deep and lingering kiss.

Justin reluctantly pulled away from Bella’s tender and moist lips, his own lips curving in satisfaction.

It was unclear whether his pleasure stemmed from Secretary Chad’s response or from Bella’s passionate reciprocation.

After ending the call, Bella’s forehead glistened with a thin layer of sweat.

“Are you some kind of omnipotent god? You even have connections close to Mayor Solloway?”

Bella panted softly in his arms, her eyes both soft and coy. “All those people in the political arena are cunning, driven by ambition and vanity. Especially someone in a secretary’s position. They’re often the closest confidants of high-ranking officials and the hardest to win over. How did you manage to sway Secretary Chad?”

Justin gently caressed her damp hair, raising an eyebrow. “I was able to gain his loyalty because I’m affluent and respectable enough.”

“Pfft… What a big ego!” Bella teased, poking his cheek.

“Secretary Chad has been with Mayor Solloway for many years, but as far as I know, the mayor is quick-tempered and extremely harsh with his subordinates. Working under him is like walking on thin ice, always on edge. Besides, despite several opportunities for advancement over the years, Mayor Solloway has deliberately held Secretary Chad back. Tell me, if you were in his shoes, would you remain utterly loyal to such a boss?”

Bella nodded in realization, revealing the scheme. “So, realizing that he couldn’t progress in politics, he decided to switch to business. And you seized the opportunity by promising him some benefits, like helping you now and later securing him a position at Salvador Corporation, right?”

Justin’s eyes filled with affection, his lips curled into a smile. “Bella, you really are a gem of wisdom, brilliantly perceptive.”

“Make sure to take good care of Secretary Chad. He’s quick-witted and manages to keep everyone happy without a slip.”

Bella’s eyes twinkled with brilliance. “Keep him around. He’ll be of great use in the future.”

James thought he had everything under control and was about to arrange for his sister and unlucky brother-in-law to exit quickly when Axel, leading a group of prosecutors with imposing momentum, approached them.

“J-James! How did they get in?!” Astrid trembled behind him, her heiress composure completely gone.

James clenched his teeth, his expression solemn, as he watched Axel go up to him.
