Chapter 676
“But have you considered why you still lost against me despite being well prepared?” Justin’s eyes remained composed, and he gave a beautiful yet cynical smile. “Even if I resorted to playing mind games, it’s all to win Bella’s favor. On the other hand, your intentions seem far from innocent. Despite knowing that Mrs. Iverson was feeling unwell, you insisted on bringing her to the banquet tonight. Just by doing that, you’ve set yourself up for failure.”
With those words, Justin walked away. Christopher’s breath was ragged as he gazed hatefully at Justin.
The banquet unfolded in a lively and joyful atmosphere.
Justin felt extremely happy to have achieved an initial victory. He decided to step outside for a smoke to reward himself.
He did not walk far from the banquet hall when a delicate call reached his ears, tugging at his heartstrings.
“Justin!”
His chest tightened, and he swiftly turned around. Bella was swiftly approaching him.
Her clear, bright eyes sparkled with hope. Her silky hair was swaying lightly with the wind, and her red lips exuded a seductive charm.
Justin felt an impulse surge within him to pull her tightly into ant embrace and kiss her.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she continued. “I could tell that
among all the birthday gifts, the one she liked most was the crown
prop you gave her. It even overshadowed all the gifts I gave her.”
Justin’s complexion suddenly turned pale, and he quickly explained, ” I’m sorry, Bella. I just thought that Madam Celeste would like the gift very much. I didn’t think it through.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson)
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...
