The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1388

Amidst his panic, Charles, though supported, slumped like a ragdoll.

James glared fiercely at Ralph. Just when he was about to speak, Christopher timely intervened, “Charles, you should go with Captain Thompson. If you’re innocent, you’ll just be cooperating with the investigation. Don’t panic. It’ll be over soon. We’ll come to pick you up afterward.”

Charles glared at Christopher, his eyes darkening with rage.

This damn bastard… Once again, Christopher seized the perfect opportunity to stomp on someone when they were down.

Then, Christopher whispered persuasively to Lance, “Dad, Ralph is making a valid point. If Charles doesn’t cooperate with the police, it’ll appear as though he’s hiding something, and Ralph might resort to tougher measures. It’ll only complicate matters further.”

Convinced, Lance quickly changed his mind. “Charles, just go with them!”

“Dad!” Charles’ expression turned into one of sheer despair.

With a wave of his hand, Lance, full of resentment and frustration, found himself at a loss for words.

In the end, Lance and James could only watch powerlessly as the police led Charles away.

As Ralph was leaving, he shot a frosty glance at Christopher.

That piercing stare, almost accusatory, struck Christopher, deeply wounding his proud self-esteem. It brought him a wave of discomfort.

“Ralph! Hold on!” James stepped forward, his face flushed with strain.

His emotions had shifted from trying to free Charles to an intense desire to beat Ralph.

Ralph paused, his face devoid of expression, as he faced him.

“Hmph, admit it! You’re not here out of any moral obligation! You’re just out to avenge Bella and Amelia!”

“Heh, stop worrying about things that wouldn’t happen. Those two girls will never come forward!”

If any of them did, he would make sure no one lived to see the next day.

That night, Steven, Bella, and Justin safely escorted Amelia back to Yara Park.

The entire family, including Wyatt and his wives, were at home and aware of the livestream incident. However, no one blamed her for the incident. Instead of criticizing her, they all commended her for her compassionate and brave character, acknowledging her righteous heart.

Amelia, who was quick to cry, once again teared up in the embrace of her parents after getting home.

Wyatt comforted her extensively, feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt and sorrow for not doing enough for his daughter. Celeste had planned to gently reprimand her daughter but found herself speechless with reproach upon seeing Amelia. Instead, she held her daughter and wept together.
