The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488 

But in the end, even Hunter had to admit defeat to Bella’s flurry of 

barbs. Bethany did not dare cause any trouble and hid behind 

Shannon like a turtle that had retreated into its shell. 

“Grandpa Nigel!” 

Bella walked to Nigel’s side and took his dry and wrinkled hand. She 

had a worried look on her face. They looked closer than Bethany was 

to Nigel. “Did you call me over so late at night because you’re feeling 

unwell?” 

“Don’t worry, child. I’m fine.” 

Nigel looked gently into her clear gaze and patted the back of her hand. “I’m fine. I’m still healthy.” 

Bella sighed in relief. “That’s good, then.” 

“Anna, I actually called you over this time for nothing serious. The 

main reason is that I missed you and wanted to see you, but I also 

wanted to ask… What on earth happened between you and Bethany? 

How did things get to this point?” 

Nigel said earnestly, “Both you and Bethany are my granddaughters, 

and I hope you guys can get along. I feel very worried every time 

things are blown out of proportion like this.” 

But Bella understood that this was Grandpa Nigel’s way of speaking 

up for his biological granddaughter, Bethany. 

Inexplicably, her nose soured, and she choked up a little.

No matter how well she treated Grandpa Nigel, blood was thicker 

than water, even if the “obedient granddaughter ” he spoke of was a 

malicious repeat backstabber. 

“The two days Bethany was in custody were unbearable!” 

Shannon took this opportunity to cry out, all choked up, as she 

hugged a sobbing Bethany. “They took turns to interrogate your 

granddaughter for twenty-four hours non-stop, threatening and 

scolding her and not letting her sleep! Look—she’s been tortured 

beyond recognition!” 

Bethany did look a lot more haggard and looked even more pitiful as 

she sobbed. 

Nigel had doted on his eldest granddaughter since Bethany was 

young. Although it was true that Bethany was not as talented as Bella 

was or as good at pleasing him, and she rarely visited him after 

becoming an adult and living her own life, Bethany was still his 

biological granddaughter. At his age, elderly people like him only 

wished for peace within the family and to enjoy life. 

When Justin saw Bella’s eyes redden slightly and her expression had 

lost the vitality it had earlier, he felt an indescribable discomfort. 

It was obvious she had been hurt. 

He suddenly remembered that in the three years she had been 

married to him, she had always lived like an outsider in this house. 

At the time, he had not known how to be considerate of her and even 

hoped this would make her give up and ask for a divorce of her own 

accord.
