The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1374

“Hmm… Why did you suddenly kiss me? What if Wilma walks in on us? It’s so embarrassing.” Bella pursed her rosy lips.

“I’m afraid you would jump off into a freezing sea, so I’m trying to cool you down.”

Justin’s breath turned heavy, and his voice was hoarse. “How are you now? Feeling better?”

“I’m alright… But I still feel wronged and suffocated.” Bella’s chest tightened. She sniffed as her eyes teared up.

Seeing her pitiful expression, Justin’s heart softened.

He took Bella’s flushed face into his hands, feeling the warmth that belonged to her on his palms. “Look how angry you are. Your face feels like it’s burning. It’s not worth it for you sisters to fight over the Iverson family. Calm down, okay?”

“How could I bear to be angry with Amelia?”

Bella’s eyelashes were cast down sullenly. “I’m more angry with myself. I didn’t get to crush Charles with one strike, and I gave him a chance to breathe. Who could I blame other than myself?”

Justin frowned in distress. “Bella, don’t say that. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Amelia said I was selfish… Yes, indeed. I want to get justice for those innocent girls, but I also want to protect my family. Amelia has been shielded too well by Wyatt and Aunt Celeste since she was young. Even when as an adult, Amelia hasn’t really experienced the darkness of the world and the cruelty of humans. She is from the Thompson family. Her highborn status could help her, but it could also ruin her.”

Bella panted heavily, feeling as if her heart was pinched by sharp forceps, causing excruciating pain.

“She didn’t consider it, but I remember that she always had a dream of becoming an actress. If she wants to go into acting, this attempted rape incident would become a mark of humiliation that she could never wash away. When her name comes up, people will only think of this matter. Her name will be tied to Charles.

“How will she survive in the entertainment field? How will she hold her head up high? Words can kill. Charles is dead and gone, but she will be pointed at for the rest of her life!”

“Bella, I understand your concern. But Amelia is our sister. With us protecting her, who would dare to target her?” Justin comforted her with a soft whisper.
