The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1412

Christopher tightened his grip as James kicked his legs and held his strangling hands. “All I did was say the right words, and you were eager to straighten out the two witnesses. Tsk. You don’t have the wisdom or composure to fight me.”

Humiliation washed over James.

“But I guess you aren’t that stupid to do the job yourself. I thought I could get you all at once, but you got to live another day.”

Christopher released his grip and walked away in chuckles.

James caught his breath in the empty meeting room, his body drenched in cold sweat.

…

Meanwhile, Bella and Justin arrived at the police station, protecting Rachel and another victim.

Steven, who was well-versed in the law, stayed with the victims while they gave statements. Steven and Ian managed the paperwork for the victims’ families and patiently navigated any questions and follow-ups.

“Thank you, Mr. Harris, and you too. You must be friends of Ms. Thompson.”

Rachel’s mother thanked Steven in tears. “Thank you… Thank you for doing everything you can to help us.”

“Don’t mention it, Mrs. Mead.”

Steven’s eyes welled up with emotions. “I’m helping you, Ms. Bella, and myself.”

Rachel’s mother, Susan, was taken aback. “Yourself?”

“Ms. Bella’s sister, the girl who came forward and identified Charles during the livestream, is my girlfriend,” Steven replied with pride.

“I see. You two are kind and made for each other. Honestly, I’m grateful to Ms. Amelia. We are able to get where we are because of your help.”

Ian smiled at the girl. “Your makeup is running from crying, but I hope you feel better letting everything out.”

Rachel took the handkerchief, wanting to wipe her tears, but she did not want to stain the fabric. She simply dabbed it on her cheeks.

“I feel a lot better. Thank you, Mr. Harris. I’ll return you the handkerchief after I clean it.”

Ian stared intently at Rachel’s face. Her fluttering lashes seemed to give him butterflies and make his heart race.

Suddenly, he reached out and put his hand on the girl’s head, running his fingers along her curls. His voice was raspy.

“Just come to me if you have any problems. I will rush over no matter where or when.”

Rachel lifted her gaze, meeting Ian’s sparkling eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.
