The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1554

Nigel’s words really packed a punch. The one and only person who could talk some sense into Gregory was his own father.

Bethany huddled behind Gregory like a frightened bird, too terrified to even look up.

Bella quickly went over to Carrie and whispered, “Carrie, don’t be afraid... I’m here with Justin and Grandpa Nigel.”

Carrie looked up from Ryan’s embrace, her usually radiant face now puffy from crying. Ryan’s chest was wet with her tears.

“Annie...”

Upon hearing that name, Bella’s eyes filled with tears instantly, and her heart felt unbearable pain.

Carrie choked back her tears, clutching tightly to Ryan’s clothes. She softly said, “I don’t want to be separated from Ryan.”

At that moment, Ryan felt like his heart was being crushed. He held her tighter as if he would never let her go. “We won’t be separated, Carrie. No matter what happens, I will never leave you.”

Bella was momentarily stunned, her heart was filled with pain. This moment reminded her of the time when Wyatt kept her locked at home, and she had to jump out of the window on a stormy night like a crazy person to find Justin.

She held onto Justin tightly, telling him that she never wanted to be away from him.

But she was far luckier than Carrie. Wyatt was stubborn, but in the end, he softened out of love for his daughter and compromised.

Gregory was different. He was selfish and merciless. Would he even think about Carrie? He only cared about himself, and the family’s image always came before everything else, even at the expense of close relationships.

What Nigel did not only embarrassed him but also shattered his remaining dignity.

Bethany suddenly came to a realization. ‘How did Grandpa know everything about their conversation with Ryan earlier? Didn’t he just arrive?’

The truth was, Nigel had already arrived half an hour ago. His car had quietly pulled up outside Tideview Manor.

Inside the car, Justin sat across from Bella and Nigel as he watched her confidently display her talents in front of Nigel. Bella’s eyes gleamed as she hacked into the server for the surveillance camera in the living room.

“Grandpa Nigel, it’s settled,” Bella said as she held out the laptop to Nigel.

“Settled?” Nigel looked at her in disbelief.
