The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1946

From the moment Christopher entered, his gaze was filled with desire, deeply embedded in Bella, unable to be pulled away.

“Disgusting.” Bella cursed under her breath, turning her eyes away in revulsion.

Justin’s gaze at Christopher was chilling. He suppressed his anger as he tightly held Bella’s soft hand in his.

Christopher’s uncontrollable gaze, which had originally fallen on Bella’s face, shifted inch by inch, finally settling on their tightly clasped hands.

His eyes were cold, but his lips suddenly curled into a playful, unintended smile.

In the midst of the mournful atmosphere, Christopher’s smile was so glaring and provocative.

Ryan naturally noticed as well, clenching his fists so tightly that they cracked.

If this were not the mourning hall, if it were not to let his grandfather depart peacefully, he would have rushed up to smash Christopher's insidious face.

“Young Master Hoffman, my condolences.”

Lance stepped forward with a regretful expression, extending his hand to Ryan. “Oh no, I should address you as Chairman Hoffman now.”

Ryan stared coldly at Lance’s insincere face, unmoving. “I don’t recall inviting your Iverson family to the funeral.”

Lance felt a surge of anger at the insult, but, as the head of the Iverson family, he barely managed to keep his composure, not wanting to argue with the deceased family.

“As one of the four great families, I have known Logan for many years. Even if you did not invite me, I should come to see him off for the sake of old times.”

“Old times? What old times do my grandfather and you share?”

Ryan’s sharp eyes were filled with anger, and his stomach ached faintly from the rage.

He was never one to avoid conflict, but this was his grandfather’s funeral, the first major event he managed after taking over the Hoffman family. If he let Christopher provoke him now, it would make the outside world think he was still the rash, impatient second-generation heir, only allowing people to mock the Hoffman family.

No matter what, he must not lose control!

Just as Lance was secretly pleased, thinking his son had regained their dignity, a powerful voice sounded from behind.

“Logan has no friends in the business world? Who is spouting such nonsense, making a fool of themselves?”

Christopher’s gaze turned cold. He slowly turned around with a wolf-like gaze, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses.

Everyone was surprised, simultaneously looking toward the door.
