The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1526

“It’s been some time, Ms. Smith. You still look amazing.” The man stared at Yvonne’s exquisite face, smiling leisurely.

“Thank you for your praise, Sir.” Yvonne lowered her head, responding humbly.

“This is expected of the child that Mr. Iverson personally nurtured for many years—gentle, elegant, dignified, and generous. Sometimes, I even think that she’s Ms. Thompson. Ms. Smith is truly the most perfect substitute I’ve seen.”

Yvonne’s expression remained unchanged, but her eyes darkened immediately.

The word “substitute” turned all of the praise from the man into sarcasm.

Christopher did not continue the topic. Instead, he opened the box and presented the antique vase to the man. “This is an 18th-century vase I acquired at an auction in Inalia. It’s a small token. Please accept it.”

Clarice raised her brows.

She had kept an eye on this antique vase before for the man, but it was bought for a staggering $5 billion by an anonymous buyer. She did not expect the buyer to be Christopher.

Christopher was indeed a considerate and dedicated lapdog.

The man nodded slightly. “Thank you, Mr. Iverson. Please give your full attention to DAD0044.”

Christopher bowed deeply. “Rest assured. I will give it my all.”

After the two left, the aromatic room fell into silence.

“Sir, between the face you bestowed upon me and Yvonne’s face, which resembles Bella Thompson, which do you think is more beautiful?” Clarice’s hands rested gently on the man’s shoulders as she leaned and whispered into his ear.

The man’s eyebrows arched slightly, and he patted his lap twice.

Clarice obediently moved in front of him, kneeling at his feet. She lifted her radiant face and looked at him with eyes brimming with affection.

“No matter how much Yvonne looks like Bella, she will never be her. She’s only a low-tier substitute created to satisfy Christopher’s desires.”

The man leaned forward, his fingers lifting her chin slowly. “You are your own self, a work of art I carefully crafted. How could a boring replica compare to a thing that belongs to me?”
