THE DIVORCED HEIRESS’S REVENGE - Season 5 Episode 29

“Oh? Really?” Nigel stroked his chin.

“Yes.”

Shannon took to Bethany’s defense. “A gentleman like Ryan wouldn’t visit a lady at her house without reason. He must have felt something for Bethany since he went to her. Things might have been different then, but they have changed now. Besides, you might be meaning to set Ms. Thompson and Ryan up, but the last I checked, Ms. Thompson has moved on with another man.”

Justin shot a chilling look at Shannon.

With his lips pressed together, he swallowed hard as if to stop his brewing emotions.

Surprised, Nigel asked, “Anna has a boyfriend? Who?”

“The youngest son of Iverson Group’s chairman. His name is Christopher Iverson,” Shannon replied.

She got her intel from Rosalind.

Bethany later mentioned that Bella kept in touch with Christopher.

Shannon did not care whether it was true, but her priority was to stop. the old man from playing matchmaker.

“Bella and Christopher aren’t together.”

Unable to take it anymore, Justin slammed the glass on the table with a thud. He looked menacing.

“I heard that they had been on a date more than once. They would take a stroll at the rose garden and visit the music theater-”

“I said, they are not together.”

His rage-fueled gaze fixated on Shannon. “I hope you don’t spread rumors before verifying the information.

“Bella is a lady, the heiress of KS Group, and the general manager of the KS World Hotel. Your unfounded theory can damage her reputation.”

Left without a comeback, Shannon contorted her face with fury,

“Justin! Is that how you talk to your elders? What do you-”

Before Gregroy could finish, Justin rose to his feet aggressively. “I’m finished with dinner. Enjoy your food.”.

Nigel narrowed his eyes as Justin stormed off.

Annoyed, Justin loosened his tie and wandered off to the garden get some fresh air.

He had been on pins and needles ever since Nigel talked about setting Ryan and Bella up.

Justin could barely breathe when Shannon said Bella was with

Christopher. At that rate, the suffocation would have taken Justin first.

Furrowing his brows, Justin fished out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gripped one between his lips.

Anxiety and anger washed over Justin as reality began to set in. He pulled out his phone and gave Ryan a call.

“To what do I owe this call, Justin?”

Ryan sounded listless and pouty. “You haven’t visited me since I had food poisoning. Gasp! Don’t tell me you have another man.”

“I got news for you.”

Justin drew a deep breath. “Gregory and Shannon intend to marry Bethany to you.”

On the other end of the line, Ryan jolted up and ran his mouth. “What the hell?! You can keep the drama in your family. Why did you have to get me involved? As if the drama isn’t big enough.”

Justin narrowed his eyes. “Do you care who you marry? Didn’t you say that it doesn’t matter who you marry? She’s just going to be eye candy.”

“Yes, I said that, but-”

“What’s wrong with marrying Bethany? She likes you, and you won’t go wrong by strengthening your business alliance with the Salvador Corporation through marriage.”

“I mean, you know the type of person Bethany is, bro. Don’t try to play Cupid and throw me to my misery.”

“Well, misery loves company. She can’t outsmart you anyway.” Justin took a puff of the cigarette.

Ryan did not deserve Bella..

Christopher was out of the question too.

Justin gnashed his teeth in resentment.

He longed to constantly be with Bella, shielding her from all potential rivals.
