The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge



"But Taylor has Ms. Smith as a hostage and a gun in his hand! If he becomes desperate and does something reckless, even if Drew shoots him dead on the spot, Ms. Smith could still be in danger!"

Ralph watched the standoff with nervous eyes, his heart in his throat. "This is the first time I've seen Drew so panicked and flustered. He's always been fearless, confident, and rebellious. This shows just how much he truly loves Ms. Smith..."

"You're right." Asher, who also had someone he loved, completely understood. "Intense love and stable emotions can never coexist. The more you love, the more afraid you are of losing, and the more flustered you become."

"So, what do we do now?" Ralph asked, his expression anxious.

Asher looked toward the church rooftop across from them, squinting slightly.

"I believe God will favor justice. I also believe that he will complete this mission successfully."

After finishing with the flowers, the Thompson sisters walked hand in hand back to the living room to arrange them in vases.

"What's wrong, Bella? Is something bothering you?" Camilla asked, worried about her sister's pale complexion.

"Maybe it's because I was standing in the sun for too long and got a bit overheated." Bella's beautiful eyes curved as she waved a delicate hand to fan herself. “The heat here in Sentania is something else! I've already worked up a sweat just being outside for a little while."

"I'll have the kitchen make you a cold dessert."

Camilla gently wiped the fine sweat from her sister's forehead with a smile. "That's just how it is here. It's always summer, unlike our home. It took me quite a while to get used to it, too."

Little did she know, the sweat on Bella's forehead was not from the heat. It was from cold fear.

"Camilla, I'd love it if you could make the dessert yourself." Bella clung to Camilla's arm, swaying it playfully. "Once I go back, it'll be hard to taste your cooking again. Please make it for me!"

"It's just dessert. You don't have to plead with me like that." Camilla doted on her sister and pinched her cute, upturned nose. "Alright, I'll make it for you. You wait here like a good girl. When I get back, we'll arrange the flowers together and put them in your brother-in-law's study. He loves fresh flowers. It'll put him in a good mood when he sees them."

"Yes, yes! Alright! I'll wait for you!"

Unsuspecting of anything, Camilla left with a smile on her face.

As soon as she turned around, Bella's smile froze at the corners of her lips, and her fingers clenched tightly in secret.

Half an hour later, Camilla returned to the living room with a bowl of shaved ice dessert.

She even made some mango compote as a topping, hoping to delight her sister's taste buds.

However, the living room was empty. No one was around except for a basket of fresh flowers sitting alone on the coffee table.

“Bella? Bella?" Camilla searched everywhere, inside and out. She even asked the servants. However, everyone said they had not seen her.

Her heart started racing. She quickly called for the head of security.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Where's my sister?!"

"Ma'am, didn't you know?" The security chief looked surprised. "About half an hour ago, Ms. Bella drove out in her car."

"What?!" Camilla was always kind and gentle, but now she could not contain her anger. "What did I tell you? You were to ensure my sister's safety! Is this how you carry out your duties?"

"Ma'am, please calm down!"

Realizing something was seriously

wrong, the security chief broke into a

cold sweat. "The President

e

instructed us to protect you and Ms. Bella here. But he didn't say we had to confine her or prevent her from leaving. Ms. Bella said she had your permission when she left..."

"You fools!" Camilla was so furious that her forehead began to throb, and her eyes reddened. "Check the license plates and surveillance cameras! Track my sister's location right now! If you can't find her, you'll have to face the consequences!”

"Yes, Ma'am!" The security chief then asked, "S-Should we inform Mr. President...?"

Camilla paced back and forth, her mind in turmoil.

Her husband was attending an important event, and her brother and Justin were facing even more severe situations. She could not disturb them.

"Don't alert anyone else for now. Find out where my sister went immediately! Activate the Zoom Camera system!"

"We'll need the President's signature to activate the system..."

"I'm the First Lady. I have the authority to exercise special privileges Camilla's eyes were sharp and commanding, leaving no room for argument. "I'll take full responsibility for any consequences. Just do as I say!"
