The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1990

Justin and Bella quickly said goodbye to Nigel and rushed off with Steven, speeding toward the police station.

“Justin, did you cause this mess?!”

Bella, sharp and insightful, got right to the point. Her eyes narrowed angrily at Justin’s dark, gloomy face. “I know what kind of person Ian is. He wouldn’t dare disobey you, let alone touch that stuff! Did you ask him to buy drugs?!”

Justin grasped Bella’s delicate fingers, his eyes red as he looked at her. “Bella, I did ask Ian to buy it, but I didn’t think he’d do it himself…”

Bella yelled, “You’re such an idiot!”

Steven, both anxious and angry, slammed the steering wheel. “Even celebrities in the entertainment industry have their agents handle this stuff to keep their distance and avoid ruining their careers. Ian was brave to buy it himself in such a risky manner! Does he think the Savrow police are just sitting idly by? Doesn’t he know that Savrow has recently launched a strict crackdown on prostitution, gambling, and drugs?!”

Bella’s palms became sweaty, and her heart felt heavy and anxious. “That’s not even the worst part. Everyone in Savrow knows Ian is your secretary. If this gets out, whether he takes all the blame or not, people will still think you’re the one behind it, suspecting you of being a drug addict!”

Justin’s brows furrowed deeply, and his eyes turned red. He was not worried about facing criticism or being the target of a scheme. Rather, he was terrified that Ian would take all the blame.

“This could blow out of proportion. Christopher must be laughing in his sleep! He didn’t have to lift a finger and relied on your foolishness!”

Bella was so anxious she could hardly think straight. “Justin, if you needed something, you could have told me. I could have asked Aunt Sasha to handle it. After all, she has connections with the Southern Star Syndicate. If that’s not possible, you could’ve told Ryan, who has ties on both sides of the law! But you should have been upfront with me instead of keeping me in the dark. You also shouldn’t have dragged Ian into this mess. One wrong move and you could be in serious trouble!”

“I messed up here.” Justin held her hand as he said, “You can hit me, scold me, or vent your anger on me later. But right now, we need to focus on getting Ian out.”
