The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 447

Upon hearing those words, the crowd erupted into a clamor as they cast skeptical glances at Bethany.

When he heard the statement, Justin’s eyes darkened slightly. His expression was calm, as if heexpected it. After all, even he found the task of seeking an audience with Alexa to be like reaching forthe stars. He never believed Bethany had the ability to acquire Alexa’s jewelry. There was definitelysomething fishy about it.

Justin felt a surge of resentment and anger as he reflected on this. He turned around to give Bella ahard stare.

Bella shrugged her shoulders and scowled at Justin. ‘What kind of expression is that? He looks like hewants to devour someone.’ She examined Justin as if he were a psychopath.

The crowd’s suspicious gaze made Bethany paler than ever. She quickly hid behind Shannon to avoidtheir gaze.

“Ms. Salvador, have you been lying to me since the beginning?”

Ada Wang was enraged, her eyes ablaze. “Were you resorting to such despicable tactics just to win meover? Did you deceive me in order to secure my cooperation with your Salvador Hotel?” she demandedangrily of Bethany.

Bethany stammered, unable to speak a single word. She was terrified and drenched in sweat.

“I chose to trust you unconditionally because you are associated with the Salvador Corporation, and Iheld you in high regard as a well- mannered young lady. With this incident, I am now skeptical of theSalvador family’s entire reputation! It contradicts the century-old reputation your family has built inSavrow!”

Ada Wang was furious after being humiliated in front of her idol. She was determined to direct her rageat Bethany and the entire Salvador family.

The onlookers shook their heads in disapproval. Unbelievable! A billion-dollar family sent counterfeitgoods to a celebrity and was caught in the act in front of the real Alexa! This, along with Rosalind’scheating on Justin, could go down in the Salvador family’s history as a permanent stain.

“As president of the Salvador Corporation, I am unaware of the gifts Ms. Salvador gave you privately orof the terms she discussed with you, Ms. Ada. After all, she was solely in charge of your weddingarrangements.” Justin’s tone was cold, as if he were completely unconcerned. “Her actions arecompletely personal and have nothing to do with the Salvador Corporation.

Shannon was enraged. Her jaw clenched so tightly that her teeth felt like they were going to break.

Bella, who was hidden in the shadow of Justin’s tall figure, raised an astonished eyebrow when sheheard these words.

“However,” Justin paused, his gaze on Bella deepening. “Regarding the forgery and losses suffered byMs. Thompson, also known as Alexa, I, on behalf of the Salvador Corporation, am willing to acceptresponsibility.”

“Are you taking responsibility for her?”

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances. Even though they felt there was nothing wrong with thisstatement, they detected a subtle nuance.

As she turned away from Justin, Bella’s eyes became clouded with disapproval. She had assumed thathe had matured. She thought he could overlook Bethany’s predicament. However, it became clear thathe still needed to sort out the mess for Shannon and Bethany, putting his overall situation first.

Justin had expressed a desire for Bella to win, but it appeared to be nothing more than empty words.

“Hold on! Why are we being portrayed as if we have committed some heinous crime? We are alsovictims!”

Shannon stepped forward quickly to defend her daughter. Her face was flushed with anxiety. “Mydaughter had good intentions. Knowing how much Ms. Ada admires Alexa’s jewelry, she went out ofher way to replace a valuable piece for you, hoping that it would foster cooperation between our twoparties! Our family is wealthy. We can easily afford ten pieces of Alexa’s jewelry, let alone just one.Why would we bother with a forgery that would tarnish the Salvador family’s reputation just to pleaseyou? We would not have bought it if we had known it was fake. We even wanted to seek justice fromthe person who sold us the jewelry.”

A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd.

“This woman purchased a forgery and dared to claim she wanted to buy ten pieces of Alexa’s work.Truly shameless.”

“That’s Mrs. Salvador for you.”

Finally, unable to bear her nonsense, Sliva stepped forward and retorted coldly. “It is well known thateach piece of jewelry Alexa creates is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is rarely available on themarket.”
