The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 2202

Christopher’s expression grew colder by the second, casting a chilling shadow over the rose garden. The air around them seemed to grow frosty.

Bella stared at the pebbles by her feet through tear-soaked lashes before turning her head to look at Jace.

Snap.

Crunch, crunch.

Jace stared at Bella’s red and swollen eyes as he took a bite of an apple, chewing noisily.

A powerful surge of emotion ran through her. Her shoulders trembled violently as she summoned all her strength to stand and walk toward him.

With a loud crash, the wheelchair tipped over, sending her tumbling to the ground along with it.

“Bella! Are you okay?!” Christopher rushed to help her up, only to be pushed away in a fit of hysteria.

“I don’t need you... I can do it myself!”

Bella gritted her teeth, her fingers digging into the muddy ground. Despite her disheveled state, she was determined to rise again.

Christopher was left in utter disbelief.

He had injected her with a sedative last night. Her limbs should still be weak and paralyzed. Theoretically, she should not have been able to move at all.

Perhaps Jace’s presence had sparked an extraordinary willpower within her frail body, allowing her to miraculously overcome the effects of the drug.

As he watched the girl stubbornly rise from the ground, Jace paused mid-bite, his cold, emotionless eyes deepening for a fleeting moment.

Bella gazed at Jace, her eyes shimmering.

“Hugh... It’s you, isn’t it? My brother doesn’t like the sea, and his favorite food is apples, so it must be you, right?”

“What are you doing here?” Christopher glared at Jace with a hostile expression.
