The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1279

The words were few but etched into his bones.

He did not need to elaborate further.

The siblings had reconciled at this point.

In Bella’s heart, Asher was as important as Justin, and she could not bear to throw a tantrum with him. She was merely retaliating against her family’s pressure.

“Ash, how did that bastard Charles get bailed out? Why didn’t Wyatt stop it?!” Bella was burning with anxiety.

“I called mainly for this.”

Asher took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Considering Amelia’s reputation and our family’s image, Aunt Celeste decided to withdraw the lawsuit after discussing it with Dad.”

“Withdraw the lawsuit?!” Bella and Justin’s eyes widened with shock!

“How else would Charles get bailed out of the police station?”

Asher could not conceal the frustration in his tone. “Not only that, the Iverson Group had bribed the major media in Savrow, preparing scripts to clear Charles’ name, portraying him as a pitiful victim.

“Even if we fight back, the lawsuit has been withdrawn, and we could do nothing to him.”

“Is Wyatt out of his mind?! For his image, he’s disregarding his daughter’s dignity?! Does the Thompson family need an image to survive?”

Bella was fuming, her shoulders trembling. “Aunt Celeste is gentle and weak. This must be Wyatt’s idea! She can’t defy it!”

“Bella, you’re wrong this time.”

Bella was taken aback, lowering her eyes, but her fingers curled tightly. “Yes, you’re right. But we can’t let this matter go like this. Charles and the whole Iverson family must pay for it! If the law can’t punish them, we will!”

Justin narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curling into a chilling smile. “It’s more convenient to take matters into our own hands.”

Bella closed her eyes, trying to adjust her breathing and calm down. “Ash, go to my room. There’s a document about Astrid’s husband accepting bribes and corruption on my laptop. Hand those to Axel. He should know what to do.”

Justin and Asher were both stunned.

Bella was so amazing. During the two days she was grounded, she had to fight the Iverson family, argue with her family, and be immersed in the sadness of being separated from her lover, yet she still had the energy to do this.

“Not only that, I’ve secretly investigated Astrid too. She’s not innocent either.”
