The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2175

“But Taylor has Ms. Smith as a hostage and a gun in his hand! If he becomes desperate and does something reckless, even if Drew shoots him dead on the spot, Ms. Smith could still be in danger!”

Ralph watched the standoff with nervous eyes, his heart in his throat. “This is the first time I've seen Drew so panicked and flustered. He’s always been fearless, confident, and rebellious. This shows just how much he truly loves Ms. Smith…”

“You’re right.” Asher, who also had someone he loved, completely understood. “Intense love and stable emotions can never coexist. The more you love, the more afraid you are of losing, and the more flustered you become.”

“So, what do we do now?” Ralph asked, his expression anxious.

Asher looked toward the church rooftop across from them, squinting slightly.

“I believe God will favor justice. I also believe that he will complete this mission successfully.”

After finishing with the flowers, the Thompson sisters walked hand in hand back to the living room to arrange them in vases.

“What’s wrong, Bella? Is something bothering you?” Camilla asked, worried about her sister’s pale complexion.

“Maybe it’s because I was standing in the sun for too long and got a bit overheated.” Bella’s beautiful eyes curved as she waved a delicate hand to fan herself. “The heat here in Sentania is something else! I’ve already worked up a sweat just being outside for a little while.”

“I’ll have the kitchen make you a cold dessert.”

Camilla gently wiped the fine sweat from her sister's forehead with a smile. “That's just how it is here. It’s always summer, unlike our home. It took me quite a while to get used to it, too.”

Little did she know, the sweat on Bella’s forehead was not from the heat. It was from cold fear.

“Camilla, I’d love it if you could make the dessert yourself.” Bella clung to Camilla’s arm, swaying it playfully. “Once I go back, it’ll be hard to taste your cooking again. Please make it for me!”

“It’s just dessert. You don’t have to plead with me like that.” Camilla doted on her sister and pinched her cute, upturned nose. “Alright, I’ll make it for you. You wait here like a good girl. When I get back, we’ll arrange the flowers together and put them in your brother-in-law’s study. He loves fresh flowers. It’ll put him in a good mood when he sees them.”

“Yes, yes! Alright! I’ll wait for you!”

Unsuspecting of anything, Camilla left with a smile on her face.
