The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Hearing this, Axel put away his usual playful demeanor. His expression became increasingly serious.

"Bella, don't get too worked up. It's not good for your health," Justin said, his brows furrowing slightly as he held Bella's trembling hand. "Especially after a meal. You know how your stomach reacts when you're upset."

Bella reluctantly sat back down, still seething with anger. Justin immediately pulled her into his arms, kissing her on the forehead to calm her. Despite his efforts, she was still shaking with rage.

"Indeed, it was James' doing. At that time, I asked Coral why she didn't resist. I even reminded her that we live in a society governed by law now. With enough evidence, she could sue for divorce and make James pay for what he's done.

"But she's utterly terrified of him. It's as if he has some deadly leverage over her. Even if he were to kill her one day, she has no intention of changing her tragic situation. She left in a panic before I could finish speaking." Roza's voice trembled as she spoke, her breathing unsteady.

Axel's probing gaze fell on Roza's gradually pale face, and he couldn't help but feel more suffocated. He keenly sensed that Roza's emotional turmoil while recounting the incident wasn't just from a third- person perspective but seemed to resonate deeply with her own experiences. She still had many secrets she was hiding from him.

"In two weeks, the Iverson family is hosting a grand banquet at their estate. They've sent invitations to high-ranking officials, business tycoons, and prominent figures in Savrow." Justin's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "On our way here, lan messaged me, saying that even Gregory received one."

"Huh? Even the Salvador family got one, but I didn't? Is the Thompson family so insignificant?" Bella pouted, her teeth grinding in frustration.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Justin's large hand firmly grasped her round shoulder, his voice husky. "Maybe Christopher plans to deliver it to you personally in Hatchbay."

Under the table, Axel held Roza's hand and whispered, "This is making my teeth ache from jealousy."

Bella's eyes narrowed dangerously. "If he dares deliver it, I'll crumple it up and stuff it in his mouth. I'll tell him to get as far away from me as possible." Justin chuckled softly, unable to resist kissing her lips again.

"Now I understand. Coral degrading herself to get a dress from Roza was probably under James' strict orders. For the Iverson family's

banquet, everyone will definitely net

dress to impress. Being competitive and ruthless, James would want his wife to outshine everyone. If she fails, she'll likely face another beating." Bella shook her head,

deeply worried for the poor woman.

Recalling his earlier harsh judgment of Coral, Justin pressed his thin lips into a tight line, feeling a surge of guilt.

"Master, I was thinking, could you and Justin find a way to bring Coral into your camp? If she stands up and accuses James of domestic violence, wouldn't that give you a better chance of taking him down?" Roza asked anxiously.

Bella sighed heavily. "Oh, my dear

Roza, you think too simply. The Iverson family is one of the four great families, capable of rivaling the Salvador family in Savrow. We've been fighting them for so long. Two of the Iverson family's children have fallen and the Terranova's project has suffered severe setbacks, but it hasn't truly shaken the Iverson family's foundation. Compared to the Iverson family, Coral's family is insignificant. The most powerful elder in her family has retired. What leverage does she have against James? Even if she's willing to risk everything, what about her family? Angering the Iverson family could easily lead to their downfall."

Roza fell silent, realizing her naivety.

"Bella, Roza has a point," Justin said thoughtfully. "As James' wife, Coral knows his most brutal and ruthless side and probably many of his secrets. If she could help us, combined with the evidence provided by Drew, taking James down would be much easier."

Bella frowned deeply. "But why would Coral help us? She endured all this abuse, indicating she prioritizes her family's interests."

"Everything comes down to her having weaknesses and concerns." Justin's lips curled into a slight smile. "We need to eliminate her worries."

Bella suddenly understood, "You mean... Support her family?!"

Axel and Roza said in unison, "Absolutely!"

"In the coming days, I'll have people keep a close watch on Coral and have lan gather detailed information on Coral's family members. We need to find a critical entry point to break down Coral's psychological

avere

defenses," Justin said with calm determination. His strategic foresight provided great

encouragement to everyone.

Bella intertwined her slender fingers with his large hand, her eyes shining with admiration. "James would never imagine that his downfall is right beside him!"
