Chapter 6
Bella was shocked to see Justin’s name on Asher’s caller ID.
“Should I answer?” Asher asked.
“Yup!”
Asher put the call on the speaker.
“Mr. Thompson, is my wife with you?” Justin asked in a hoarse voice.
Bella was infuriated because she was annoyed that Justin called her his wife. “Mr. Salvador, please
watch your words. I am your EX-wife now.”
“Anna Brown! So you really are with him!” Justin’s voice became deeper.
“Where else can I be? Should I stay in your house and wait for you to kick me out?” 2
How mean of him!
Justin’s expression was gloomy. “Stop being so impatient. We haven’t finalized the divorce yet, so you are still my wife in name. You should at least care about Salvador Corporation’s image and your own reputation!”
“You carried Rosalind into Tideview Manor while we were still married and forced me to sign the divorce papers. Justin, did you even care about my feelings?”
Bella sneered. “I always treat people as they treat me. Why should I care about your company’s image now? After all, I have given up my title as the CEO’s wife to your beloved Rosalind. Go to her if you’re so worried about the company’s reputation!”
Asher raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea.
This was the real Bella Thompson. The well-behaved and docile wife who never complained about anything during the three years of her marriage was just a persona she created exclusively for Justin.
Although Asher loved his sister no matter what, he still preferred it when she was a force to be
reckoned with.
Fortunately, that bold and fearless Bella was back.
“I don’t have time to argue with you now.” Justin’s voice sounded a little tired. “Grandpa is hospitalized, and he has been asking to see you. He refuses to take his medicine until he sees you.” [1
Bella’s heart trembled.
Even though she and Justin had parted ways, Nigel had been nice to her during the three years she stayed with the Salvadors. When Bella left, she gave up everything. The only person she missed was Nigel.
“He’s in KS Hospital, right? I’ll go over to see Grandpa later.”
After hanging up the phone, Bella sighed deeply with a heavy heart.
“Bella, I’ll take you there,” Asher offered.
“It’s fine. I’m going to see Grandpa, not to provoke Justin. If you send me there, the conflict will only intensify.”
Bella waved her hands in distress. “I’ll just drive there myself.”
At the hospital, Justin and Ian stood guard in front of Nigel’s ward.
Bella hurriedly walked over. She had not seen Justin for a few days, but she could tell at a glance that he had lost weight.
She thought, ‘Damn it! Why should I care? It has nothing to do with me whether he lost or gained weight! I don’t care if he dies!’
The two men only looked up when they heard the clicking of her high heels against the floor.
They were both startled, especially Justin.
He almost did not recognize that the woman in front of him had been his wife for three years..
“Mr. Harris, how is Grandpa doing?” Bella did not even look at Justin and only spoke to Ian.
“Young Madam, is that you?” Ian was dumbfounded and asked a particularly dumb question.
The lady in front of him was stunning, with exquisite makeup. Her red lips were incredibly sexy, and her slim black suit made her legs look so long. She looked like a hotshot lady boss. The butterfly ruby brooch on her chest was also extremely dazzling, but it did not outshine her bright eyes.
Only then did Bella realize that she had forgotten to change into a white dress and sneakers-the
typical attire for the docile Anna Brown-because she was in such a hurry.
“Yes, in the flesh. Why are you so shocked? Do you not like my new look?”
“No, no… You look much prettier than before! You also look more confident and energetic dressed like this.” Ian voiced his thoughts.
“Really? That might be because I just got divorced.”
Bella smirked and added, “I climbed out of a hellhole and saw the light of day again, so of course I’d look more energetic.”
Justin’s handsome face darkened for a moment. He felt frustrated. “If you thought my house was a hellhole, why did you stay with me for three years? I’ve told you more than once that you’re free to break the contract. I could’ve taken you to see Grandpa at any time. You didn’t need to stick around like you’re serving a three-year sentence.”
Bella’s heart ached.
This was Justin Salvador. No one could sway him from his decisions. If he liked someone, he would treat them like a treasure. If he disliked someone, he would ignore them, no matter what they did for
him.
Bella fell head over heels in love with this cold and aloof man. The price she paid for this love was also unforgettable.
“I promised Grandpa that I would stay with you for three years, so I wanted to keep my word. But you’re finally free, Mr. Salvador. From now on, you can bring any woman home, and you no longer have to sneak out to meet your lover.” Bella sneered, but she still looked gorgeous.
Justin felt his throat tighten.
He thought, ‘Why was this woman so two-faced? Did she think that she could be reckless after our divorce? But I have to admit that she’s much more eye-catching with this fierce personality than her
meek look before.’
Justin’s eyes shone with admiration.
“Justin!”
Bella looked back to see Rosalind and Shannon walking over in a hurry.
Seeing that Bella was there, Rosalind looked a little hostile, but she quickly hid it behind a lovely smile.
“Why are you here?” Justin asked in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, Rosalind threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist.
“Justin, why didn’t you tell me about such a big incident? Do you not think of me as your family?”
“Justin, you didn’t see how worried Rose was when she heard that your grandfather was admitted to the hospital. She even puked some of her lunch…” Shannon looked at her niece with distress.
“Why did you throw up? Is everything okay?” Justin’s eyes were filled with concern.
“Rose always had stomach issues. She gets nauseous whenever she’s afraid or nervous. She has gone to many doctors, and they all said it’s not a serious problem. There’s no cure for it, though.” Shannon sighed.

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....
Do u have plans to update more chapters or the story just end on Chapter 2270? It's been a while that no more chapter has been loaded yet. ty...
Pls update...
