The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 

Bella furrowed her brows. It felt like she chewed on a sugar-coated lie, and the sweetly cloaked monstrosity was just awful to swallow. 

The air had gone quiet. 

The pair said nothing. 

Moments later, Justin cleared his throat and ended the conversation abruptly. “I guess that is all. Goodnight.” 

“Hey, you-” 

The call ended before Bella could finish talking. 

“What the hell was that?” Bella stared at the dimmed screen in a daze 

and shook her head. 

Meanwhile, Justin realized after the call that his palms were 

clamming, his throat was dry, and his heart was thumping out of his 

chest. 

Closing his eyes, he drew a deep breath and murmured, “The ones who walk away aren’t here to stay, but the ones who mess with my

Zoe’s eyes flickered. 

“For that reason, Bella managed to win Ada over with a brooch during the welcoming party.” 

Bethany stamped her foot. “Damn it, I’m fuming just thinking about it. If only I owned one of Alexa’s jewelry pieces. That would save me all 

the trouble. 

“You do. What makes you think you don’t own one?” Zoe made an 

Intriguing comment. 

Bethany was stunned. “What do you mean, Zoe? Did you manage to get your hands on Alexa’s jewelry pieces?” 

“As far as I know, Alexa stays out of the limelight. She never showed 

her face in public before, so no one knew whether she was alive. No. 

one had actually seen her masterpiece before. 

“Why don’t you get a copy and give one to Ada?” Zoe spoke
