The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2024

As he spoke, Steven glanced at the lawyer.

The lawyer immediately understood and stood up. “Mr. Salvador, Ms. Bella, since Mr. Jenkins has entrusted me to this case, I’ll do my best. I won’t disturb you further.”

Steven politely saw the lawyer out while Bella quickly picked up the document and read it with Justin. “This is the information about Owen Hopkins I’ve asked Steven to investigate.”

Justin’s brows raised in surprise. “Bella, you have the same thought I had. I wanted to go after this Owen guy after investigating Southern Star. You’re too clever.”

Unable to resist, he pecked her lips again and again.

“Hmph, if I’m not smart, how could I keep up with you?”

Bella pouted playfully and then nuzzled his face. “This is a fierce battle. I can’t possibly leave everything to you. I must do my best to share the burden with you.”

Instantly, Justin’s eyes stung, and his heart warmed up. He would rather his lover be clumsy and lazy, letting him pamper and dote on her without a care.

Bella being passionate and motivated only made him feel guilty, as he could not provide her with a peaceful and stable life.

Bella carefully read through the information and suddenly narrowed her eyes. “Mrs. Hopkins has Alzheimer’s?”

Steven nodded seriously. “Yes. After I found out, I made a point of visiting the nursing home where Mrs. Hopkins stayed and understood the situation. The caretakers there said Deputy Chief Hopkins and his wife were deeply in love. Mrs. Hopkins has been sick for many years and can’t take care of herself now, but Deputy Chief Hopkins still stuck to her side, always doing the dirtiest and most exhausting tasks. They were touched and saddened by it.”

This information was indeed surprising to Justin and Bella.

Owen Hopkins held a high-ranking and powerful position, and he was a handsome man in his prime with a bright future. Countless women threw themselves at him, hoping to take the place of Mrs. Hopkins and become the respected wife of a deputy chief.

However, they did not expect Deputy Chief Hopkins to be so loyal to his wife. He had a clean private life and political career.

No matter how they looked at it, he seemed like an exemplary man and husband.

“How is Mrs. Hopkins’ condition now?” Bella asked while looking through the document.

“Terrible.” Steven frowned deeply. “Her Alzheimers’ is already at a late stage. Deputy Chief Hopkins has drained his savings to treat his wife and visited all the reputable hospitals in the world, but his effort was in vain. I heard from the caretakers that Mrs. Hopkins can’t recognize him now. Some of them have also seen Deputy Chief Hopkins secretly wiping his tears in the corridor.”

Although it was unrelated to her, Bella still felt uncomfortable when she heard this.
