The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1620

“What happened, Quentin? What’s wrong with Dad?” Bella sat by the sofa and held her father’s cold hand, her heart going out to him.

“I’m fine, Bella.” Wyatt pulled himself together to smile at his daughter.

Panic stirred within Bella. “You’re fine? You’re whiter than Casper the Friendly Ghost!”

The three men were lost for words.

The tension in the air somehow dissolved into something comical.

Bella asked indignantly, “Why was Christopher here? Did he get you worked up?”

Wyatt and Quentin said nothing.

“I saw Christopher holding a box, Chairman Thompson. Did you threaten you with a drug?” Justin’s eyes flickered.

Quentin murmured, “Mr. Iverson brought a drug and said Chairman Thompson was able to get better because of him. He came to set up a deal with Chairman Thompson. If Chairman Thompson agrees to his terms, he can guarantee a supply of drugs. Chairman Thompson isn’t quite himself yet, and Mr. Iverson’s aggression only rubbed him the wrong way. Chairman Thompson took his medicine in time, and he’s feeling better now.”

Bella asked, “What are the terms?”

Wyatt glared at Quentin.

Quentin made things vague. “He talked about a partnership. The terms do not matter. The thing is his arrogance. His ugly attitude is showing.”

Bella squeezed her father’s hand. “Justin and I ran into him just now, Dad. He acted innocently with us. Don’t be scared. We’ll sort out the drug. Don’t listen to him. If he can acquire the drug, so can we.”
