The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge -
Chapter 204
Justin never believed in coincidences.
However, he hoped, for Rosalind’s sake, that this was really just a coincidence.
“Mr. Salvador!”
Ian ran over, panting, and handed the phone to Justin. “I have screened through the surveillancefootage for all movements of Madam Shannon, Ms. Bethany, and Ms. Gold tonight. Please take a look.”
“Good job! You’re quite efficient!” Upon hearing this, Ryan stopped in his footsteps and turned back totake a look.
Justin lowered his eyes and watched closely, breathing heavily.
“In the video, Ms. Gold had close contact with Madam Shannon and Ms. Bethany. What’s even weirderis…”
Ian’s eyes darkened as he continued, “I didn’t see Ms. Gold anywhere near the room where Mr.Thompson and Ms. Thompson were at when I checked the surveillance footage.”
“Hah! This is interesting.”
Ryan laughed. “If she never showed up there, how did she allegedly see Mr. Thompson and Ms.Thompson going into the same room?”
Justin frowned deeply. There was a buzzing sound in his ear, and he felt like he had been slapped inthe face.
The Salvadors were gathered in the front hall. Rosalind was also there.
Bethany’s face was pale. She said she was feeling unwell, but in fact, she was frightened by whathappened tonight.
Fortunately, Gregory believed Bethany unconditionally. Shannon also supported her, so Bethanyescaped suspicion.
At this moment, Bethany was glaring at Rosalind, who looked innocent. She really wanted to scratchRosalind’s duplicitous face.
“I really didn’t expect that we would allow a liar to marry Justin.” Shannon hugged Bethany’s shouldersand sat on the sofa. She was furious when she thought of how Bella stole the limelight tonight.”
“Yeah! She actually concealed her true identity and stayed with Justin for three years. It’s scary to thinkabout it… Is this considered fraud?” Rosalind asked, pretending to be worried.
“Hah! You guys are quite good at orchestrating this performance, huh? Why didn’t you two clowns goon stage and perform for my birthday?” Nigel glared at them and sneered.
Shannon and Rosalind’s expressions instantly froze.
At this time, Justin walked over with a sullen face. He had heard Nigel’s words clearly.
“You two keep saying that Ms. Thompson is a fraud. But what did she take from you? Was it money,shares, or property? Ms. Thompson fulfilled her duties as a wife to Justin. She was respectful to herelders, polite to Bethany, and took good care of Carrie. Even when Justin divorced her, she left withouttaking a penny from us. So, how did she defraud you?”
Nigel was old, but he was not senile. Instead, his mind was clear and sharp. “You three have torturedMs. Thompson over the past three years. Although I didn’t live here with you all, I know what goes on
behind closed doors!”
“Dad, we know what kind of person Ms. Thompson is. Shannon only voiced her worries…” Gregorygritted his teeth and spoke up to smooth things over.
“I think you thought the same of her until you found out that she was Wyatt’s daughter, right?”
Nigel leaned back and looked at Gregory scornfully. “It’s too late to regret it. You didn’t want a billionaireheiress as your daughter-in-law and insisted on choosing this woman from a poor family who has amillion lawsuits and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Gregory, don’t you think that your net worth would beseveral times higher if you had Bella Thompson as your daughter-in-law? Haven’t you always wantedto expand your business in Hatchbay? Don’t you think you’re at a loss now?”
Gregory gritted his teeth. His face was flushed with embarrassment.
Even Shannon could see her husband’s regret for choosing Rosalind over Bella and felt vexed.
Bella was indeed the best of the elites. She was Wyatt’s only daughter from his first wife. Incomparison, the Gold family could not hold a candle to the Thompsons. It was no wonder Gregorywould be upset.
Justin’s pale lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Rosalind said angrily, “Grandpa, I knowyou have always looked down on me and my family, but love can’t be measured in terms of money. Sowhat if the Thompson family is rich? Justin and I truly love each other. We are childhood
sweethearts, and I accompanied Justin through his worst childhood trauma. Our relationship isirreplaceable!”
With that, Rosalind ran over to Justin and tugged at the corner of his shirt anxiously. “Justin, please saysomething!”
Justin lowered his eyes feebly and stared at her with an indifferent look that she had never seen
before.
At this moment, Justin tried hard to recall every bit of his childhood spent with this woman.
However, he found that his mind was blank. Those beautiful memories he treasured gradually
became distant and finally turned into nothing.
In the end, the light in his eyes was extinguished. His hoarse voice was filled with exhaustion anddisappointment.
“Rose, let’s put our marriage on hold for now.”
