The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1848

Tears welled up in Mila's eyes as she smiled with relief. “Otherwise, you would never talk back to me. If you want to pursue the one you love, I won’t stop you, but there’s one condition. Ms. Carrie must cut all ties with Mr. Hoffman. If they’re still in touch, I don’t want you involved.”

Her tone turned serious. “As long as the girl is good, I don’t care about her background or past. The only thing I won’t accept is a daughter-in-law snatched from someone else.”

Upon hearing this, Justin couldn’t help but admire Mila. No wonder she could raise such outstanding children.

“The final choice still lies with Carrie,” Ralph said, his eyes shining with determination. “If she chooses me, I will never let her down. If she still wants to be with Ryan, no matter how difficult it is, I will help them overcome any obstacles.”

Bella’s beautiful eyes flashed with a sudden idea. “Ralph, are you really willing to help?”

“When have I ever gone back on my word?” Ralph’s expression was resolute, with his mind made up.

“With Aunt Mila here, I’ll speak frankly,” Bella said firmly after a brief pause. “Ralph, can I use you?”

Her words left Justin and Mila stunned, both exchanging confused glances.

Ralph’s gaze deepened. “Bella, what do you want me to do?”

Bella smiled slyly. “I want you to crash the wedding.”

The word “crash” seemed to momentarily choke Ralph, who gave a dry, bitter smile. “Bella, my mom just said no to snatching. You still want to pull that off?”

Bella shook her finger delicately. “No, no... When I say crash the wedding, I mean you, Young Master Ralph Thompson, should disrupt the marriage between the Salvador and Solloway families. Make sure that toad, Jason, doesn’t lay his hands on my sister, Carrie.”

Justin’s eyes darkened, and his warm, large hand gently squeezed Bella’s slender waist, making her go soft with pleasure. Although he had pleasured her last night, it was to help her relax and get some sleep. He had not slept at all.

Justin looked at her with a warm and intense gaze. “Bella, you’re really smart.”

“Bella, do you need my help?” Mila said with a light smile, “Since my son is going to crash the wedding, it’s only fitting that I step in as the head of the Thompson family to put pressure on the Solloway family so they completely give up.”

“Mom…” Ralph choked up, feeling even more guilty for doubting his mother earlier.

Bella felt both helpless and ashamed and said, “Aunt Mila, we’re really sorry for troubling you to help us with our issues.”

“What are you saying? We’re family. Besides...” A wave of sadness washed over Mila, causing tears to well up in her eyes. “Since Hugh passed away, I haven’t been able to truly move on. I’ve neglected and failed to care for Ralph and Camilla. I didn’t even know Ralph was in love. Now you thank me for doing a little thing, which only makes me feel more ashamed.”

Thinking of her late fifth brother, Bella suddenly thought of that portrait that Carrie drew. She opened her mouth several times but ultimately remained silent.
