The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1369

“Ha… You and Iverson are all the same. He must have sent you here to scam Rachel.”

“No, I—”

“You must be up to no good. You operated on the scumbag, and that makes you just as guilty as he is. Get lost! Don’t harass me and Rachel again!” Rachel’s mother glared and shouted angrily at Bella.

Before Rachel’s mother could slam the door, Bella reached her hands to grab the door frame anxiously. “Mrs. Mead, I’m really here to help Rachel. Please give me some time to explain.”

The furious mother grabbed a packet of opened laundry powder on the windowsill and threw it at Bella’s face.

Breaking out in a sweat, Bella could not shy away in time.

“It’s okay. We’ll take it one step at a time.”

Justin ran his hand along her back and comforted her. “Don’t give up. Be optimistic. Let’s head back and see how else we can go about this.”
