The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 174

The whole venue fell silent for a moment before there was an uproar.

The guests thought they were just here for a birthday party and did not expect to hear such explosivenews.

Bella’s charming eyes suddenly turned cold, but her expression did not change.

That was because everything was under her control.

Ryan, on the other hand, broke out in a cold sweat and quickly chased after Bella.

Ryan’s tall and strong build towered over her as he called out to her worriedly, “Anna…”

Bella looked back at him. Her eyes curved like little crescents as she smiled beautifully. “It’s okay.”

Ryan’s heart trembled again.

Who could resist this charming smile?

“Aunt Shannon, it’s Grandpa’s birthday banquet today. Please don’t say anything unnecessary todisrupt everyone’s mood. What’s more, this is my private matter.” Justin’s eyes were cold and filled withresentment.

“Justin, I hope you don’t mind. I didn’t think it through before speaking.”

Shannon pretended to be ashamed and smiled. “Well, since none of the guests here today know Anna,I thought of introducing her to everyone. Even if she leaves you, she used to be my daughter-in-law.Even if she comes from a poor family in the countryside, I don’t want others to look down on her.”

She made it sound like she was being considerate for Anna’s sake.

The guests whispered and looked at Bella with complicated eyes.

Rosalind and Bethany felt happy.

This not only told everyone that Anna was no longer a member of the Salvador family, but it alsoconfirmed her relationship with Asher Thompson.

Rosalind thought, “That bitch Anna won’t have a chance to seduce Justin again!’

“Thank you for thinking about me, Mrs. Salvador.”

Bella smiled calmly and proudly, like a blooming red rose. “I think that no one would look down on meeven if I had never married Justin. Should I be looked down upon just because I come from a poor ruralfamily?”

Justin pursed his thin lips and said nothing. However, he looked at his ex-wife with a hint of anger.

He thought, ‘Anna, have you never felt the slightest sense of superiority since you married me?’

Bella’s words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they resonated with some of the guests aroundher.

“That’s right. What’s wrong with coming from a poor family in the countryside? My grandfather was afarmer, but he’s a billionaire now.’

“Mrs. Salvador is being too condescending.”

“Mrs. Salvador isn’t much better herself. I remember she used to be a D-list celebrity. I think she’sworse than a farmer!”

Shannon gritted her teeth. Her face turned red with embarrassment.

She did not expect Anna to resolve this identity reveal so effortlessly.

“Well said! What’s wrong with country girls? I like simple and unpretentious women.” Ryan was happyto hear this and chuckled in Bella’s ear.

Bella was speechless and thought, ‘Should I thank him?”

Justin watched the intimate interaction between Anna and Ryan with a dark rage burning in his chest.

“Justin!”

Rosalind walked up to him with a smile and naturally held his arm. “Don’t think too much about it. AuntShannon is just thinking of Ms. Brown. Ms. Brown won’t feel so awkward anymore if some things aremade public knowledge, don’t you think?”

Justin’s expression was unreadable. His arm that she was holding became a little stiff.

Everyone looked confused again.

“I guess Ms. Brown’s identity is a bit awkward. Since she has divorced Mr. Salvador, she reallyshouldn’t show up at Old Master Nigel’s birthday party. Isn’t she just asking for trouble?”

“Didn’t you hear just now? Old Master Nigel specially invited her to attend. Although she divorcedJustin, it shows that she still has a place in Old Master Nigel’s heart.”

“I don’t think that’s the case. I think she’s here to cause trouble. She probably doesn’t want to divorcean outstanding man like Justin. That’s why she said that!”

“Anna, don’t listen to their gossip. What do they know? You’re not that kind of Ryan’s eyes turnedsharp, as if he wanted to pluck out those people’s tongues.

person.”

“I don’t care what other people say about me.” Bella laughed it off, looking magnanimous.

Just when Rosalind thought she had regained victory, a resounding voice pierced the air.

“I want to see who dares put my dear Anna in an awkward situation!”

Nigel wore a white tuxedo and walked out with the support of his son Gregory and secretary

Matt.

He was not in a wheelchair today, and his white hair was meticulously combed back. His face was rosy,and his back was straight. He did not look-sick, like he had been battling with a disease for many years.

“Grandpa!” Bella smiled happily when she saw how healthy Nigel looked.

Shannon hurriedly winked at Rosalind. She put on a gentle smile and walked to Nigel. “Dad, it’s yourbirthday today. It’s rare for our family to get together like this.”
