The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1616

Well, Bella was not one to pry into her brother’s relationships. Otherwise, she would be keeping an eye on Asher and Arnold’s blossoming love.

“I didn’t expect Aaron to burst into the place and act cocky, though.” Justin carried Bella to the sofa to sit down. With Bella sitting on his lap, Justin put his hand on her belly and gave her a gentle rub.

He narrowed his eyes at the thought of the earlier confrontation.

Thank goodness Bella was not on the losing end. Otherwise, Justin would have a say about it.

“Hmph! I smacked him back into his place.”

Bella hung her arms around the neck of his neck and nuzzled up to his neck, her warm breath against his skin sending fire to his loins.

“The Larsons are cocky for a few reasons. They’ve been on a roll lately, with several successful medical research projects under their belt. I heard they are close to developing a new drug for Parkinson’s. Once they succeed, their pharmaceutical empire will become global. Their wealth will grow exponentially. Their success fuels their arrogance. Our achievements are nothing compared to theirs, even with our families put together.”

“I can understand them getting carried away by success, but they should only gloat when that happens.”

Justin smirked. “Salvador Corporation doesn’t dabble in anything pharmaceutical, but I know it takes countless experiments to develop a drug. There are a lot of bureaucratic tapes to go through. It’s too early to determine whether the Larsons can handle the stress that comes with success.”

“Aunt Mila has been with him for many years. I bet Wyatt feels bad that he can’t make Aunt Mila his wife. The Larsons took advantage of that fact and sent Aaron to do a little manipulating.”

Bella slapped her thigh in frustration. “Wyatt doesn’t give himself a break. I’m mad that he went to work before he was cleared. Why do we even bother about him when he doesn’t take care of himself?”

“Don’t worry, Bella. Quentin is there to look out for him. Wyatt will be fine.”

Justin gave her a squeeze. “It’s early. Why don’t you take a little nap? We can pick Wyatt up when you wake up, okay?”
