The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712 

By the secretive look on Nigel’s face, Bella suspected the matter was 

tied to his family secret. 

It would be rude of her to probe further. 

She always knew when to stop, but anything concerning Justin would get to her head. She blurted, “Is there angst between Justin and his brother, Grandpa Nigel? Is it related to their abduction as kids?” 

Nigel widened his eyes at her in shock. “So you know about the 

abduction?” 

“I’m sorry, Grandpa Nigel. I didn’t get to know about it on purpose. 

Her throat went dry. Bella fell into contemplation for a moment and

Jeremy Mateo, right?” 

Bella had heard about Jeremy’s gang. Sasha had told her. 

Jeremy had worked for Sasha’s father, but driven by greed and 

ambition, he left the organization and made it out on his own. 

Back then, Jeremy was rather cocky and rampant. He made it clear to the cops that he would only retire from crime after making $10 billion 

in ransom. 

Jeremy was arrested 18 years ago, and the media covered the story 

in celebration. However, Jeremy faced the camera with a smile, and 

the public was infuriated. 

Sasha once mentioned that her father’s biggest regret was not 

purging Jeremy when he could. 

“That’s right. That’s the guy.” 

Nigel held his head in anguish. “Gregory and I did everything we could 

to take precautions, but Jeremy somehow managed to slide through
