The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1698

What Axel did left the assistant stunned. His aloof and indifferent attitude made her truly believe that he was just an ordinary customer coming to pick up his clothes.

“Wendy, what are you staring at? Your eyes are glued to him.” Regina forcefully pulled Wendy aside.

“Mom! Look at that man... He’s so handsome! I’ve never seen anyone with such a magnificent face!” Wendy exclaimed with innocent excitement.

“Alright, alright. You’re the daughter of a wealthy family. Don’t act like you’ve never seen men. Even the most handsome man has only two legs,” Regina scolded softly, but she couldn’t help glancing at Axel out of the corner of her eye.

He seemed vaguely familiar to her. Besides, she felt his gaze on them was cold and intense, sending a shiver down her spine.

Just as the assistant fretted over how to get rid of these two nuisances, a crisp and sharp sound of high heels echoed from the stairs.

“Are you two done causing trouble?!”

Axel turned toward the voice and saw Roza standing not far away, her complexion pale.

“Mom, that wretched girl is here!” Wendy’s eyes brimmed with disgust and hatred upon seeing her stepsister, Roza.

Originally, Wendy was the only legitimate heiress of the Walker family. However, the presence of this illegitimate daughter had somewhat affected her status in her father’s eyes.

This so-called sister was far superior to her in many ways. Besides being pretty, Roza was also talented and accomplished. From a young age, she excelled in both character and academics. When she grew up, she became one of the top fashion designers in the country.

If it weren’t for the fact that Roza had a troublesome mother, who was a murderer, perhaps her father would not treat her so indifferently now.

Perhaps the daughter to be married into the Sully family of North City wouldn’t have been Wendy.

With every step Roza took toward them, it felt as if her feet were laden with lead. They were incredibly heavy.

As soon as she came downstairs, she saw Axel sitting there—handsome, tall, and with strikingly attractive features. No matter how many times she saw him, he always made her heart flutter.

But that’s all it could ever be—a fluttering heart.
