The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1372

The couple were stunned, blurting out at the same time, “Amelia, what did you say?!”

Amelia’s expression was that of determination and resolution after throwing everything away. “Whether it’s going to the police station to give a statement or testifying in court when Charles stands trial, I’m willing to do so. As long as Charles can be punished by law and we can get justice for those girls, I can handle the pressure… No matter how great it is.”

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Amelia thought her idea would receive their strong support, but unexpectedly, Bella and Justin did not say a word.

“Although Charles did not manage to rape me, he had sexually assaulted me. Besides, my identity will definitely draw attention from society if I come forward to testify against him. The Iverson Group won’t be able to cover it up. At that time, no matter what, they will need to respond to the girls who have been violated by Charles. No matter how much the Iverson Group tries to protect him, they can’t do it due to the pressure!”

“But have you thought about the terrifying risks behind your actions?”

Bella’s brows furrowed deeply, her stern tone more intimidating than a parent's. “If you reveal yourself as a victim of Charles, it might let people with ulterior motives exploit the situation. They might even twist the facts, and it might go viral! By then, you and Aunt Celeste will be pushed into the limelight. Even if you can withstand the crushing pressure, can she?

“Moreover, your statement would only confirm that Charles attempted rape. He would still be released to harm other girls in a few years! We need to cut off the root cause. James will definitely try to slander you. How will you face it, then? How will Steven help and protect you? Do both of you want to entangle your lives with those two bastards from the Iverson family?”

Thinking of her mother and Steven, Amelia felt her heart twist with pain.

However, what caused her heart to ache more was that those girls had suffered at Charles’ hands.

Amelia was Wyatt’s daughter and had a powerful family supporting her, so she did not have to take matters into her own hands. Those girls were the ones truly experiencing a living hell, unable to do anything.

Bella took a deep breath, her calm and rational words carrying a hint of intimidation. “Besides, even if you testify, bringing down Charles won’t be that easy. Your idea might work for people like James, who cares about his reputation.

“But Charles’s reputation is in the drains. He is shameless and has no bottom line! Do you think you will cause him any real harm? As long as the Iverson family still stands, he will forever be a parasite. The uproar you cause will just be forgotten over time.

“As for those girls, your bravery and sacrifice might not sway their thoughts. They might choose to be silent. But that’s understandable. You still have us as your backing, but once they speak out, they have no one to protect them.”
