The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997 

The next day, Justin and Ryan secretly set off for the South Island, accompanied by their elite troops. 

Their journey was not smooth sailing at all. Although it started as a clear day, after two hours of sailing, ominous clouds quickly formed overhead, and a powerful storm brewed. 

In order to maintain secrecy and ensure safety during the journey, they opted for multiple yachts rather than a large ship. This allowed them to be more stealthy and versatile. They could scatter and escape swiftly if they were discovered by enemies without risking being completely surrounded. 

However, the drawbacks of the yacht became evident during severe 

weather conditions. 

“Mr. Salvador! Mr. Hoffman! What should we do? Will the yacht 

capsize?” 

The crew members from the Hoffman family made every eff 

steer, but the yacht kept swaying violently in the storm, struggli stay upright, let alone advance toward their destination. 

Suddenly, a huge wave surged toward their yacht, heading straight fo 

Ryan. 

Ryan’s eyes widened in fear as he felt a sudden darkness surround 

him. Justin stepped in just in time, his strong and tall figure serving as a shield to protect him like an impenetrable fortress! 

The sound of the impact echoed through the air. 

The wave hit Justin hard, but he only swayed a little from the impact. Most people would have been knocked over by now. 

At times, this man was so powerful that even other men couldn’t help but feel their hearts skip a beat! 

“Justin! Are you alright?!” Ryan quickly reached out to steady him. His eyes narrowed with concern. 

“I’m okay, just a minor issue,” Justin said with a faint smile, his eyes 

sparkling. 

Their eyes locked for a moment, and then Ryan blurted out nervously, Justin, could you not look at me like that? It’s making me feel like I’m developing feelings for you!” 

“Thanks for the compliment. If it wasn’t for your feelings toward Carrie, I might have thought you’d eventually develop feelings for me.” 

With that, Justin promptly assumed control of the helm from his crew and began steering himself. 

“Wow, I gave you an inch, and you took a mile!” Ryan teased he 

wiped the seawater off his face, admiring Justin’s tall and co 

presence. 

As time passed, he sighed at himself but also found more respec 

his best friend. Back then, he was naive and infatuated with Bella. 

When she rejected him, it left him feeling foolish and down for quite while. Now, looking back, maybe Bella made the right choice not to be 

with him. How could a woman ever pay attention to someone like him after experiencing such masculinity? 

Yet, strangely enough, there were no regrets or feelings of loss. In 

fact, he was grateful that things didn’t work out with Bella. If they had turned out differently, he would have never met Carrie, his true love and the woman he would spend the rest of his life with. 

The waves churned and the water roared, but under Justin’s command, the boat seemed to have found its strength and sailed safely toward South Island across the rough sea. 

Their boat was the first to dock two hours later, with others arriving one by one half an hour later. Night had fallen by this time, but luckily, the heavy rain had gradually eased off. 

“The dark and windy night is perfect for our plans. Let’s go, Justin!” Ryan strapped two guns to his waist, and his eyes sparkled with unexpected excitement! 

Rumors said that Ryan was a daredevil. He seemed to have 

completely forgotten about the life-threatening risk ahead, almost treating it like another survival game he commonly engaged in.
