The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1707

Hearing this, Axel put away his usual playful demeanor. His expression became increasingly serious.

“Bella, don’t get too worked up. It’s not good for your health,” Justin said, his brows furrowing slightly as he held Bella’s trembling hand. “Especially after a meal. You know how your stomach reacts when you’re upset.”

Bella reluctantly sat back down, still seething with anger. Justin immediately pulled her into his arms, kissing her on the forehead to calm her. Despite his efforts, she was still shaking with rage.

“Indeed, it was James’ doing. At that time, I asked Coral why she didn’t resist. I even reminded her that we live in a society governed by law now. With enough evidence, she could sue for divorce and make James pay for what he’s done.

“But she’s utterly terrified of him. It’s as if he has some deadly leverage over her. Even if he were to kill her one day, she has no intention of changing her tragic situation. She left in a panic before I could finish speaking.” Roza’s voice trembled as she spoke, her breathing unsteady.

Axel’s probing gaze fell on Roza’s gradually pale face, and he couldn’t help but feel more suffocated. He keenly sensed that Roza’s emotional turmoil while recounting the incident wasn't just from a third-person perspective but seemed to resonate deeply with her own experiences. She still had many secrets she was hiding from him.

“In two weeks, the Iverson family is hosting a grand banquet at their estate. They’ve sent invitations to high-ranking officials, business tycoons, and prominent figures in Savrow.” Justin’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. “On our way here, Ian messaged me, saying that even Gregory received one.”

“Huh? Even the Salvador family got one, but I didn’t? Is the Thompson family so insignificant?” Bella pouted, her teeth grinding in frustration.

Justin’s large hand firmly grasped her round shoulder, his voice husky. “Maybe Christopher plans to deliver it to you personally in Hatchbay.”

Under the table, Axel held Roza’s hand and whispered, “This is making my teeth ache from jealousy.”

Bella’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “If he dares deliver it, I’ll crumple it up and stuff it in his mouth. I’ll tell him to get as far away from me as possible.”

Justin chuckled softly, unable to resist kissing her lips again.
