The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 341

Chapter 341

Back at the Salvador Corporation, Justin sat quietly in his office, lost in thought as he stared at thecomputer screen. With each click of the mouse, a new photo appeared, featuring a single protagonist-abeautiful woman with a radiant smile and an elegant demeanor-Bella.

These photos were the result of Ian’s surveillance of Bella over the past few days. Originally, heintended to gather intelligence from the KS Group, but Bella’s side proved to be exceptionally secretive.Ian only managed to capture these everyday scenes.

As Justin repeatedly browsed through the photos, his gaze deepened. It was as if, by looking at themmultiple times, the figures in the pictures would come to life. If they were on paper, they would probablyhave developed a vintage charm.

Suddenly, his phone on the table vibrated consecutively. Justin finally snapped back to reality, pickedup the phone, and focused on the screen.

Seeing the messages, Justin felt his heart drop. He abruptly stood up from his leather chair, grabbinghis suit jacket before rushing out the door.

Ralph and Bella arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

It had been a long time since Bella had met with Ralph, and the siblings had plenty to catch up onalong with drinks.

After three rounds of drinks, Bella’s eyes were slightly glazed. She suddenly leaned in and asked,“Ralph, spill it. When are you going to bring back a sister-in-law for me?”

“Ugh, not you too! My mom is already nagging me about this. Besides, my job is so tiring anddangerous. Why would I want to replace someone in the same line of work? We both need to live a goodlife, right?” Ralph looked nonchalant, quietly pouring out the leftover alcohol in front of Bella andreplacing it with mineral water.

Bella pouted in frustration. “What’s with the men in our family? None of you are settling down. It’sannoying! I don’t even have a sister-in-law to care for or a nephew to play with. It’s so frustrating!”

Hearing this, Ralph teased Bella. “With so many brothers doting on you, aren’t you content? Aren’t youafraid that if your brothers get married, we won’t have as much energy to pamper you?”

“Stop pampering me so much! It’s because of you guys that I didn’t have a boyfriend until after Igraduated from college! During school, you knew I liked chocolate, so you bought all the chocolates inthe campus supermarket every day and waited for me at the school gates after class. Every boy in ourschool thought you guys were my boyfriend! Because of you guys, I still haven’t had a proper first love!”Bella’s cheeks turned red. When she drank too much, she tended to bring up old times. It was aThompson family trait.

“Because of the chocolates I got for you, my mom thought I was dating someone in school. She sentpeople to stop me at the school gates and claimed that she caught me red-handed. Then she gave mea good beating when I got home!” Ralph winced at the memory.

Bella blinked in surprise. “Did that happen? I have no memory of it.”

She continued, “Why didn’t you explain to your mom? You could have told her that those snacks werefor me!”

“That was right before the college entrance exam. She even went to the school to meet with theprincipal and my homeroom teacher, asking them to keep a close eye on me so that I wouldn’t getdistracted during my exams.”

Ralph smirked. “I’m clearly innocent, but my mom thinks that I’m a playboy. Don’t you think it’s unfair?”

Bella teased him. “Well, you don’t exactly look innocent.”

“Around that time, the school did a poll on the best-looking students. I don’t know who put my pictureup, but I ended up winning first place. Suddenly, I was surrounded by those infatuated girls everywhereI went, and my locker was either filled with gifts or love letters. It was so damn annoying!” Ralphcomplained.

He smiled and continued, “So, I just went with the flow. With my mom’s controlling nature, she clearedthe path for me.”

huh?”

“So, you used me as a shield to ward off your love troubles? You’ve got some nerve, Bella furrowed hereyebrows and lightly flicked his forehead with her fingertip.

Ralph playfully stuck out his tongue. “Anyway, I don’t want to get married. With my current career,anyone marrying me would basically be a widow. That’ll be a miserable life for them.”

Bella nodded in agreement. “Yeah, same here.”

“You should get married, though. The last time Christopher came to our house, he seemed quiteinterested in you. That night, his eyes were practically glued to you. Why not consider him?”

Suddenly, Ralph leaned close to her ear and said mysteriously, “But I noticed how pale his complexionis. Do you think he’s sick?”

Bella was left speechless upon hearing this.

“To be honest, money isn’t something we lack in our family, but you must replace a healthy partner withexcellent genetics, someone who can carry on the legacy of the Thompson family,” Ralph said withutmost seriousness.

“I don’t care if he’s sick, as long as he’s not sick in the head.

Bella smiled. Whether it was embarrassment or the effects of drinking too much, her rosy cheeksflushed even more.

As Ralph and Bella exited the restaurant, Steven had already parked the car at the entrance.

Seeing Bella leaning on Ralph with a flushed face, Steven hurriedly came over to assist her.

“Don’t touch her.”

Ralph’s right arm tightened around Bella’s shoulders as his left arm forcefully kept Steven at bay. Hespoke coldly, “I’ve got this. You don’t have to touch her.” Steven stood frozen and pressed his lipstogether in embarrassment.
