The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1943

Justin gazed gloomily out the window as he reflected on Nigel’s heartfelt lessons. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

For some reason, he always sensed that Nigel harbored a deep fear of Grant. His repeated warnings, the way he seemed willing to sacrifice everything to protect him—why did it feel like Grant was no longer just a man? He seemed more like a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Ian suddenly cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Salvador, that was a close call tonight.”

He noticed that Justin was in a bad mood and tried to change the subject.

“What?”

“You almost lost your virtue!” Ian exclaimed.

“Lost what?” Justin’s brow furrowed.

“At the garden earlier, Ms. Amaryllis almost threw herself at you. Luckily, I was quick and showed up just in time to prevent any improper interactions and save your reputation!” Ian raised his chin, looking pleased with himself.

Save his reputation?

Justin looked at his insufferable expression and felt the urge to knock some sense into him.

“Even if you hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have had any contact with any woman other than Bella,” Justin said as he closed his eyes, his handsome face cold and indifferent. “Do I really seem that untrustworthy?”

“Well, as they say, it’s hard to stop a shameless woman from seducing a loyal gentleman.”

Justin’s face grew dark with anger.

“Even the most loyal man can’t resist the seduction of a woman when they get the chance,” Ian continued, oblivious to the trouble he was in. “Tideview Manor is not like your private residence with the Young Madam. Gossip travels fast here. If word got out that you had any interaction with Ms. Amaryllis tonight, the Young Madam might hear about it, and she might not let you stay with her tonight.”

Justin’s eyes flashed with anger as he kicked the back of Ian’s chair. “Tell me, who’s the man that got seduced here?”

Ian gulped nervously, feeling lost for words.

“If you can’t explain it, say goodbye to your bonus this month.”
