The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1358

Justin sat beside Bella, placing the fruit platter in front of her.

“Ian, it’s unusually hot outside. Have some water and fruit first.” Bella pushed the fruit toward Ian.

“Thank you, Young Madam! You’re so kind to me!” Ian said as his eyes welled up with gratitude.

Justin gave him a cold glance. “Eat quickly, then we can get down to business.”

Ian picked up a slice of orange and devoured it. After wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, he sat up straight.

“Yesterday, I followed your orders and informed Director Carter about Mr. Lovett’s arrest with a detailed report. Just this morning, Superintendent Donald got suspended for abusing his power and has been taken away by prosecutors. With his shady background, he’s definitely going to be fired. The Iverson family just lost another loyal ally they could count on.”

“Alright.” Justin nodded indifferently.

These lackeys of the financial conglomerates were always easy to catch once an investigation began.

Bella’s eyes widened as she looked at Justin. “When did you do this?”

It was not the first time Justin pulled off this sort of mysterious operation. He always managed to act stealthily and catch the opponent off guard when they least expected it.

“In the early hours of the morning, after you fell asleep,” Justin replied.

Bella’s eyelashes fluttered as she hugged his arm, feeling warm inside. “You could have waited till this morning.”

“James and Superintendent Donald bullied Steven and made you anxious. If I didn’t deal with him, I would be so angry that I couldn’t sleep.” Justin held her hand, gently stroking her small palm.

Bella was puzzled. “My brother is not the kind of useless CEO like James. If there’s an issue with the project, he would have discovered it early on. How could such a lapse occur?”

“The land bidding process in Terranova is chaotic, far from being as transparent and regulated as it is in our country.”

Now that things had come to this point, Justin didn’t conceal anything and explained it to Bella.

“The resort project in Terranova has excellent geographical conditions, but there’s a serious problem with transportation. There’s a small village on the road that the resort must pass through, with just over a dozen households. It’s less than a kilometer away from the resort.

“The existence of this village will hinder the future expansion of the resort, and even the construction of the main road will be affected. However, all of this wasn’t clearly marked in the initial plan. In order to attract foreign investment, the local government concealed this fact from the beginning.”

Bella’s anger reached its peak upon hearing this. “How can this be allowed? Isn’t this fraud? Is the government involved in the fraudulent deal?!”
