The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"Why'd you barge in knowing I'm busy? You're a real buzzkill," Jason muttered as he slowly buckled his belt, his face dark with displeasure. The man in the blue suit flicked his cigarette to the ground. "You can finish up later. Zoe wants us to bring her over now."

Upon hearing Zoe's name, Carrie felt a wave of dizziness. She felt like she was falling into the depths of a hopeless inferno.

Justin, Bella, Steven, and lan sped toward the western suburbs.

Ralph was seriously injured, but he insisted on leading the operation himself. They were to meet at the abandoned factory.

They kept Carrie's kidnapping under tight wraps, fearing that any leaks could harm the interests of both the Salvador and Hoffman families. Besides, they thought the news could be too much for their grandfather to bear.

Moreover, if the kidnappers got wind of it, Carrie's life could be at greater risk.

On the way to the location, Justin received news from Ryan that Liam might have murdered Logan and immediately helped him report it to the police.

Overwhelmed with panic, tears brimmed in Bella's reddened eyes.

What was supposed to be a pleasant date night had turned into a nightmare.

How could anyone have the audacity to kidnap Carrie right under Ralph's nose?

"Ryan said that Selena wanted to discuss her divorce with Old Master Logan yesterday. However, she ended up witnessing Liam and his secretary disposing of the old man's body instead," Justin said, holding Bella's hand tightly. His dark eyes were grave.

"He committed patricide for his own selfish desires. Liam deserves to be a worm in his next life!" Bella seethed, her beautiful eyes burning with rage.

"Liam's men are now hunting for Selena all over the city. Desperate, she sought out Ryan, using evidence of Liam's crime as a bargaining chip for her safety."

"People come together for profit and disperse when it's gone. None of them deserve any pity!"

Bella clutched Justin's hand tightly, shaking her head in anguish. "I used to think Ryan, as the eldest

grandson of the Hoffman family, would grow up pampered and loved by his mother and grandfather. thought he would be much happier than you. But I was wrong. Every family has its struggles. But Ryan chose to suffer in silence."

"Ryan had told me multiple times..."

Justin's deep, hoarse voice carried a note of sorrow. "Since his father's death, the happiest moments of his life were those spent with Carrie. She made him realize that he could love like an ordinary man. Carrie taught him what love is."

Upon hearing this, Bella's long-held tears finally fell.

After choking up momentarily, she murmured, "Carrie will be alright. They will be together."

Justin lowered his brooding eyes, wrapping his arms around the woman he loved. "They will be."

"Steve, how much longer until we reach the western suburbs?" Bella asked urgently after composing herself.

"Ms. Bella, the navigation shows the

road ahead is under construction. We'll need to take a detour. Even with the car at full speed, it'll take around twenty minutes!" Steven replied. He gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and a thin sheen of sweat formed on his forehead.

"Damn it! It's going to take another twenty minutes!"

Bella pounded her fist against the window, her almond eyes blazing like fire. "Now, we can only hope that the kidnappers' objective isn't to take Carrie's life but something else. As long as they're driven by greed, Carrie has a chance!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Just then, Bella's phone rang. It was a call from Yasmin.

Bella answered immediately, her voice frantic, "Yasmin, are you there already?!"

"Ms. Thompson, that woman tricked me!"

Yasmin panted, each word dripping with anger. "I'm at the abandoned factory in the western suburbs right now. I've searched the entire place thoroughly, but there's no sign of Young Madam!"
