The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2280

“It’s not a coincidence!” Bella sat up straight, her eyes burning with intensity. “Aunt Mila didn’t mistake what she saw. There is a man who looks exactly like Hugh! I know him. His name is Jace. I met him while I was under Christopher’s control on Rose Island in Sentania!”

The Thompson family was utterly stunned.

“Bella! Is he Hugh?!” Wyatt pressed for an answer.

Bella bit her lip, falling silent. She was deep in thought. ‘Why would Jace appear at the hospital at this time?’

There was only one possibility. That night, the person who hit her with the car was Jace. The person who brought her to the hospital was also Jace.

But when she woke up after losing consciousness, the first person she saw was Grant.

‘Christopher, Jace, Grant…’

Suddenly, Bella felt a shiver run down her spine, as though she had just woken from a dream.

A thought leaped into her mind, one that seemed absurd on the surface but terrifying when examined closely.

Bella did not believe in coincidences, especially when all the coincidences seemed intricately connected.

“Bella, speak up!” Mila’s eyes were red with urgency. “Is he Hugh? Hugh didn’t die... He survived, didn’t he?”

Bella took a deep breath. Her eyes suddenly brightened with realization. “Aunt Mila, did you say that he was smoking in the hallway? Did he leave after finishing his cigarette, or was he still smoking when he left?”

“Maybe... I scared him off. He crushed the cigarette and left in a hurry.”

“Aunt Mila, tell my brothers to go to that balcony and look for the cigarette butt he left behind.”

Bella’s heartbeat quickened, feeling as though the fog of deception and confusion before her was beginning to clear. “Then, take that cigarette butt and compare it to Hugh’s DNA. We’ll know whether it’s him or not with a single test!”

...

Jace, with his hands stuffed into the pockets of his leather jacket, walked alone through the hospital’s underground parking lot, his expression dark and brooding.

He recalled the woman who claimed to be his mother, and his heart clenched painfully. His mind was a chaotic mess.
