Ian hurried forward, his face lighting up with relief when he saw it was someone from the Thompson family. He welcomed them warmly. “Captain Thompson, are you here to see Mr. Salvador? Let us head upstairs!”
“No need.” Ralph’s expression was stern as he pressed his lips together. Keeping his tone strictly professional, he said, “We are indeed here to see Mr. Salvador, but we need him to come with us to the police station to cooperate with an investigation.”
By now, several Salvador Corporation employees had gathered to watch.
They had all heard Ralph’s words clearly. He said “cooperate” not “assist”.
The subtle difference between the two words carried a world of implications, and everyone there understood it.
Ian’s mind raced, and he quickly lowered his voice to an almost pleading tone. “Captain Thompson, there are too many people watching. This isn’t good for anyone. Could we go upstairs to discuss this in private?”
Ralph’s brow furrowed tightly. He understood the procedure better than anyone. But this was not just anyone he was here to take in. It was Justin, the man who had almost become his brother-in-law. The man who had risked his life time and again for his younger sister.
For the first time, Ralph hesitated.
“I’ll go with you.” Justin’s voice was calm as he stepped forward, his expression unreadable as he locked eyes with Ralph.
Ralph pressed his lips together tightly, his gaze conflicted and heavy with emotion.
As two police officers approached Justin, Gregory stormed over with Paul at his side, followed by a group of senior executives from the company. His face was flushed with anger.
“Your actions are outrageously reckless! Do you police officers have any idea where you are?!” Gregory’s fury only intensified when he realized it was someone from the Thompson family.
He roared, “You’ve brought officers here in full view of everyone to take Justin away for questioning? He’s the president of Salvador Corporation! Have you considered what this will do to his reputation? To the company’s image? Can you even begin to compensate us for the losses this will cause?!”
Turning to his secretary, he shouted, “Paul, call the Salvador Corporation’s legal team immediately! Today’s incident will not be brushed aside. Justin will not be taken away just like that!”
Paul nodded. “Understood, Chairman Salvador.”
Ralph felt a surge of frustration boil in his chest. He nearly swore out loud. He wanted nothing more than to stuff a shoe into Gregory’s mouth to shut him up.
He had intended to take Justin quietly, minimizing the impact. But Gregory just had to swoop in and make a spectacle of it, blowing the situation out of proportion.

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. 🙄...
