Under the table, Justin clenched his slightly trembling hand, his gaze dark and deep. “I’m fine. Dr. Amaryllis, is there something you need?”
Clarice smiled gently. “Mr. Justin, did you forget? Chairman Salvador instructed me to stay by your side whenever possible to closely monitor your health from now on.”
“Even so, Dr. Amaryllis, do you not understand the most basic manners?” Ian internally rolled his eyes, exasperated. “Even if you’re here to look after Mr. Salvador’s health, the CEO’s office isn’t a place just anyone can enter. Do you normally act this rudely in front of Mr. Grant too?”
Clarice didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled faintly. “Every profession has its own standards. I don’t blame you for saying that, Mr. Harris, since you’ve never worked in this field. But if something goes wrong because no one’s around when your boss falls ill, would you be able to handle the consequences?”
Ian was so furious that his chest hurt, and he clenched his fists tightly. Ever since Grant brought this inexplicable woman back, all the peace and harmony had been shattered!
The current Justin was different from before. To him, all women were the same now. In this sensitive time, Clarice was seizing the opportunity to get close. If she stayed by his side long enough, who knew what might happen? Couldn’t proximity lead to affection?
He thought, ‘Young Madam, your husband is about to be stolen!’
“Ian, go get me a cup of coffee.” Justin showed no interest in their bickering. He lowered his head as he continued flipping through the documents.
Grinding his teeth, Ian replied, “Yes, sir.”
Clarice’s eyes darkened slightly, and she smiled faintly. “Mr. Salvador, do you like drinking coffee?”
Justin nodded. “Mm.”
“I’m also good at making coffee. Next time, I’ll make some for you.”
“To date, I haven’t found anyone whose coffee tastes better than my girlfriend’s.” The moment Justin blurted that out, his heart inexplicably pounded.
A vivid memory came to him—the mornings after moments of intimacy with Bella, when she stood in the kitchen, lightly dressed in her nightgown, humming a tune as she made him coffee.
Bella had always looked so adorable and at ease. A ray of sunlight shone on her delicate face, and he could not help but wrap his arms around her slender waist from behind, pressing a kiss to her flushed cheek, savoring every inch of that moment.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson)
I am reading this book from last year. Its very long story but at start i find enjoyable.Still there is no closure , dragging the story and the writer is running out of ideas. Its frustrating that they don't upload chapters regularly....
If you are about to start reading this “ongoing” book….don’t. It’s a great read but mo regular updates and leaves you hanging. Took me months to get to chapter 2370 (this app only has it to chapter 2368….learned to search different links to read ahead a bit). These ongoing books are just not worth the time since their author (s) take days/weeks to upload new chapters. Again great sultry, long drawn out at times, but not worth the frustration of no new updates....
No update in 6 days!!! Really??? I’m about over this story and ready to move on, the wait is to long....
Pls update regularly or least let us know why it's taking so long...
Ok I was thinking last night. I really hope the author hasn’t been affected by hurricane Helene. Not sure where they are located but I hope everyone is safe...
It’s been 87 years since the update with only 2 chapters. 🙄...
Why is it taking so long to update chapters....
