The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 

The appearance of the emerald diamond necklace made the crowd erupt into excited chatter. 

Any clear-eyed person could tell that the necklace was of top quality, 

from the purity of the jewel to the cut of it. It was probably worth 

millions! 

Iverson Group was indeed generous to offer up such a precious piece 

of jewelry to contribute to the charity auction. 

Right then, an eye-catching spotlight shone on Christopher’s elegant. 

and dignified figure. 

The crowd’s curious gazes followed it. When they saw the refined 

man, they all made sounds of awe at how good-looking he was. 

However, Christopher’s beautiful eyes looked openly in Bella’s 

direction, as if he could only see her. 

He had only wanted to see her alone. 

“That man is gorgeous! His face is perfect, just like it was carved 

from marble. Who is he?!” 

“He must be Lance Iverson’s son. How would he be able to produce 

such an expensive piece of jewelry otherwise?” 

“Lance Iverson’s son? Why have I never seen him before?”. 

“He gave so much support to Ms. Thompson. Are they in that sort of relationship?”

“So what if they are? Ms. Thompson is a first-rate beauty herself. They would be a match made in heaven!” 

Their chattering buzzed in Justin’s ears like mosquitoes and flies. He thought, ‘What did they mean, a match made in heaven?!” 

Christopher’s pale and clean-shaven face, coupled with that sinister 

gaze of his, reminded Justin of treacherous courtiers. 

“The starting bid for this emerald diamond necklace starts at $2 

million. Please make your bids!” 

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the attendees started 

raising their paddles, one after another. 

“$3 million!” 

“$4 million!” 

“$4.5 million!” 

“$5 million!” 

The atmosphere burned with passion, and the competition was just 

as fierce. 

Actually, before the auction started, Bella’s stomach had been feeling 

uneasy. 

But the moment she saw the bids for the first lot rise to $5 million in 

the blink of an eye, the results were gratifying, and she immediately 

stopped feeling tired and sore. 

Money cured all ailments. 

Meanwhile, Shannon and her daughter were feeling the complete opposite. Their resentment was so deep that it could open a door straight to hell. 

They originally came to watch Bella make a fool of herself, but they did not expect the auction to go so well from the start. The plan they originally made to attack her via public opinion now seemed 

ineffective and meaningless. 

“Mom! Christopher Iverson came as a representative of the Iverson Group to support that bitch and even donated such a precious piece of jewelry. He’s definitely put a lot of thought and money into that bitch!” Bethany seethed as she glared at Bella, who was chatting and laughing with Alice. 

Shannon sneered, “Why? Are you jealous?” 

“How could I not be jealous?!” 

Bethany clenched her hands in her skirt as she looked dejected. “No man has ever doted on me like that ever since I was young, apart from Dad. Not only do Bella’s older brothers all dote on her, but even Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Iverson have become her protectors. Recently, even Justin hasn’t seemed as cold to her as he used to be. I don’t 

understand what’s so good about her. Why are those men always revolving around her? With her always overshadowing me, I feel like even the sky is gray when I wake up every morning.” 

up around 

She dreamed of living a life like Bella’s, with suitors lining up 

the block and with brothers to go the extra mile for her and spoil her 

to the high heavens! 

But what did she have instead? 

All she had was a silly younger sister, who was as stupid as a rock 

and put her in a bad mood at the very sight of her! 

“Wipe away that damned self-righteous and self-deprecating look. 

You’re my daughter. Why do you always dream so big but undermine 

yourself? You’re such a helpless loser!” Shannon was so angry that 

she pinched her daughter’s thigh.
