The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 788

Chapter 788 

Unspoken words echoed in Justin’s mind. ‘You’re my bottom lin Bella. But I wonder… Do I hold the same significance in your hear Bella? Or am I perhaps even less important than Christopher?” 

Thinking of this, Justin felt an unbearable mix of reluctance, anger, and sorrow flooding his heart. With a heavy heart, he tore his gaze away from Bella’s beautiful face, unable to bear looking at her any longer. 

As if they shared a telepathic connection, Bella discreetly stole a glance at him at the very moment. Seeing him staring ahead with a cold expression, her heart skipped a beat for no reason. 

Shannon trembled uncontrollably, her heart pounding in her chest, making it difficult to breathe. 

It was evident that Gregory couldn’t control Justin anymore, and his. support for Shannon was dwindling. 

Shannon thought, ‘If this bastard were to find out that I played a hand in worsening his mother’s depression, what would happen to me?’ 

Shannon’s mind raced back to the time when she bribed the maids

Shannon knew Gregory was particularly vulnerable to this approach. 

Gregory’s breath grew heavier as he stiffly supported Shannon’s arms. “Go back to your room and freshen up. I’ll have Bethany and the secretary take you to the hospital.” 

“No.” Justin’s lips parted coldly. 

Gregory’s brow furrowed. “What do you want, Justin?” 

Justin stared intimidatingly. “It’s just a slap. She won’t die. But 

Shannon and Ms. Thompson must settle the issue between them 

tonight.” 

Bella’s heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her red lips. 

Shannon screamed hysterically. “How many times do I have to say it? 

I have nothing to do with Celeste’s case, and I don’t even know that 

assailant! It’s all fabricated slander from Bella!” 

Bella disdainfully glared at Shannon’s pale face. “Mrs. Salvador, I
