The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1749

Time flew by, and the weekend had finally arrived.

That evening at the Iverson Residence, the massive fountain in the central courtyard roared back to life, and the grand hallway was decked out with an abundance of lush flowers like a luxurious palace.

The guests, with their elegant attire and refined manners, gathered in the grand hall. The glasses clinked, and their cheerful conversations filled the air.

Since Astrid’s severe sentencing and Charles’ tragic death in prison, a series of poor business decisions have caused Iverson Group’s stock to plummet. The entire Iverson family had never before faced such a devastating blow, and the atmosphere had been gloomy for quite some time. However, tonight was an exception.

Accompanied by James and Coral, Lance was mingling among the guests. They basked in niceties and compliments they had not received in a long time. His contentment was apparent even without words.

“Look! Isn’t Mrs. Iverson wearing the gown designed by Ms. Roza Walker?!”

“Indeed! Roza Walker’s design has a unique touch to it. It’s absolutely gorgeous!”

“It’s true that clothes make the man. Coral used to be like an accessory next to James, but tonight, she’s really standing out on her own.”

As the compliments poured in from all around, James stood tall, beaming with pride. Whenever his wife was praised, his face would light up, and he felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

“Coral, you’ve really made me proud tonight.”

James tenderly caressed Coral’s delicate hand and murmured softly in her ear, “Once we get back, I’ll make sure to reward you well.”

Coral forced a charming smile, despite feeling disgusted.

“Where’s Christopher?” Lance frowned as he looked around. “How can he be missing at such an important time?”

“I heard from Taylor that he went to personally welcome a distinguished guest,” Coral responded beside him.

“Hmph, his so-called distinguished guest? Could it be that woman from the Thompson family?” James sneered disdainfully.
