The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 486

Everyone could tell those words were full of sarcasm!

Was this not a question about Hunter’s character?

Justin could not help but smile slightly, while Gregory and Shannon’s expressions turned ugly.

“Old Master Nigel!”

Right then, Nigel’s secretary, Matt Upton, hurried in and said respectfully, “Ms. Thompson has arrived.”

Justin’s heart thumped, and his eyes widened.

Everyone looked toward the door in unison with complicated gazes,

Click, click, click.

The sharp and crisp sound of high heels clacking on the floor seemed to strike straight into Justin’sheart.

Bella entered this place where she had once resided for three yea but the dignified and cold aura thatshe exuded at the moment w as if this was her first time here.

In that instant, Justin went into a daze.

It felt as if they had not divorced.

“Grandpa Nigel, I’m here!”

Bella smiled brightly and walked over to Nigel without looking elsewhere.

When she passed Justin, she did not linger even a little, as if they were complete strangers to eachother.

Justin took a deep breath, his fingers slowly clenching into fists out of sight. His heart was poundinghard even as it sank.

Every time he met his ex-wife after the divorce, it felt like he was undergoing excruciating torture andgreat upheaval.

“Bella Thompson…!”

Bethany glared at Bella’s beautiful face. If Shannon had not been holding her back, Bethany wouldhave pounced on Bella and torn her to pieces by now.

“Oh, Hunt! What a coincidence!”

When Bella passed Hunter, she suddenly stopped and looked at him/ with a smile.

Hunter was taken aback.

The rest were very stunned too.

Hunt? It was such a close address that everyone wondered if Bella and Hunter had an intimaterelationship.

“Ms. Thompson, it’s been a while since we met.” Hunter forced a smile, responding with a more distantform of address.

“Indeed. It’s been five or six years since you last visited my dad, hasn’t it? He even mentioned yousome time ago. Our families have known each other for a very long time. I remember when I was

young, Uncle Neil often brought you and Steve over to our house to visit. It’s a shame the two of ushaven’t really kept in contact in recent years and have lost touch now.”

Bella looked at Gregory Salvador’s shocked face with a smile. ” Chairman Salvador, you didn’t know,did you? Uncle Neil and his three sons have always been my family friends. Uncle Neil was even thehead of KS Group’s legal department for a while after he retired. It’s just that Uncle Neil keeps a lowprofile, so not many people know about this.”

Hunter forced himself to keep smiling, but his face was burning.

Bella’s words seemed nonchalant, but every word made a rope that wrapped around his throat!’

The last thing he was willing to mention to the public was the fact that his family had once enjoyed theThompsons’ favor. He did not even want to admit to himself that he would not have been able toachieve what he had today without the Thompsons’ support.

Hunter wanted to become stronger, expand his influence, and increase his family’s status. To do that,he had to get out of the Thompsons’ shadow.

“Mr. Lovett, I didn’t expect you to be so close to the Thompsons,” Gregory said meaningfully.

“My father was indeed KS Group’s legal advisor for a time, but he stepped down a long time ago. Ihaven’t had any contact with the Thompsons for many years,” Hunter hurriedly said, his words explicitlyand implicitly distancing himself from the Thompsons.

“Hunt-no, Mr. Lovett.”

Bella narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile gradually growing cold and mocking. “I think you stillremember how much hardship your family went through when Uncle Neil retired as a judge. If it weren’tfor my father’s help, it would probably have been very difficult for you to overcome it. My father was

kind to your father back then, and your family benefited a lot from mine. We have never wantedrepayment for it. But you still shouldn’t work with outsiders to try and trip me up.”

Ms. Bella’s red lips curled in a cold but beautiful sneer. “Is it part of your lawyer’s code of ethics to beungrateful and to burn the bridge once you’ve crossed it?”
