The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 2148

Bella was just playfully teasing him, throwing a little fit for fun. She knew better than anyone how loyal her man was.

But who would have guessed that a simple joke would frighten Justin so much?

Justin dropped to one knee in front of Bella, raising his handsome face with a serious and solemn expression, swearing with three fingers raised.

“Bella, I swear that in this life, the next life, and the life after that I will only love you, be devoted only to you, and want no one but you. If I ever have a change of heart, I will get struck by lightning and torn into pieces!”

“Ah... Alright, I was just joking.” Bella could not stand him being like this, so she hurriedly tried to cover his mouth, but he grabbed her hand firmly.

“Last night, I went out. I went to Pivotage with Drew and Ralph.”

Bella’s heart raced as she tenderly traced the features of his face, her voice quivering a bit. “Goodness, how could you keep something this huge from me? Nothing bad happened, right?”

“Don’t worry, nothing happened.” Justin took her hand and gently rubbed it. “Drew found out that the person who hired the assassin to kill Mrs. Hopkins was Christopher’s secretary, Taylor. When Drew called, you were still asleep. I couldn’t bring myself to wake you, but I was also worried that Drew might put himself in danger, so I rushed over quickly. Even if you had been awake, I wouldn’t have let you go.”

Bella felt a warmth in her heart. She cupped his face and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

“Unfortunately, Christopher was already one step ahead. He had quickly shut down Pivotage and dismissed everyone while he and Taylor left Savrow in a hurry, possibly even the country.”

Justin bit his lip in frustration. “It’s my fault. I was one step too late.”

Bella’s heart sank. “Then... What about Yvonne?”

“She left yesterday, and according to the staff there, she’s planning to marry Taylor.”

“What?! Then Drew...”

“Drew isn’t doing so well right now.” Justin’s expression turned more somber. “The only way to help him feel better is to track down Ms. Smith.”

Bella’s eyelashes fluttered nervously, and her eyes glistened with tears. She was deeply saddened.

“Yvonne... She’s been through so much hardship. I’m really worried about her…”

Bella had already accepted Yvonne as a friend and her future sister-in-law. Yvonne’s painful past did not matter to Bella. She simply hoped Yvonne’s future would be bright and smooth sailing.

Bella hoped she and Drew could have a wonderful future together too.

“Bella, don’t cry.” Seeing her tears, Justin couldn’t help but feel sad. He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips. “We won’t give up on Ms. Smith, and Drew won’t either. Right now, what’s most important is to find Christopher as soon as possible!”
