The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 487

Bella’s forceful questioning seemed to have ripped off Hunter’s veil and labeled him ungrateful.

Bella thought to herself; ‘Did you not want to distance yourself from the Thompsons? Alright, then. I’llbring up exactly what you didn’t want to be mentioned and expose the thoughts you didn’t want to seethe light of day for everyone to see!’

Hunter’s lips were pressed tightly together, and though they still held the semblance of a smile, hisgaze toward Bella was not at all friendly.

In fact, his gaze had turned cold.

Hunter thought, ‘This was the woman my brother Steven was so smitten with? A sarcastic, willful,sharp-tongued shrew?! If Steven married a troublesome woman like that, would our family have anymore peaceful days in the future? Would it not be chaos?!’

The atmosphere became tense and awkward.

Gregory Salvador felt that Bella Thompson was pretty much the bane of his existence. Every time hesaw her, she just had to make trouble.

Hunter’s capability as a lawyer was unquestionable. Gregory always wanted to take Hunter under hiswing, but he had not known Hunter had such a connection to the Thompsons, which made him veryuncomfortable.

“So it turns out that Mr. Lovett had such a past with the Thompsons that no one knew about.”

Justin’s words were directed toward Hunter, but his deep gaze never left Bella. “And it looks like Ms.Thompson is the daughter of your benefactor. Is this how you repay kindness, Mr. Lovett? By butting

heads with Ms. Thompson over and over.”

Bella could not help but frown as she digested what Justin said.

Was he standing up for her? Was he taking the side of an outsider, hers, in front of his family?

He had never taken her side, even when they had been husband and wife. Was he doing an about-face and trying to make it up to her?

Bella thought, ‘That’s not necessary! He must be mad!’

Upon hearing this, Nigel frowned even more deeply.

“Ha! Ms. Thompson, so according to you, I can’t be a lawyer just because I, as a Lovett, received thekindness of your family? Is that it?”

Hunter would not just stand there and let himself be mocked. A fake smile appeared on his face. “I ama professional. In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people-clients and non-clients. Ms. Bethany

Salvador is my client, so of course, I have to do my best for her.

There’s nothing wrong with that, is there? If you hired me, Ms.

Thompson, I’d fulfill my duties in the same way. This has nothing to do with any repayment of kindness,don’t you think so?”

Justin’s fist clenched and his eyes darkened at the sight of Hunter’s secretly smug expression.

“Oh, my! I wouldn’t dare to hire you, O great Mr. Lovett!”

Bella hurriedly waved her hands with a shocked look. “Such an amazing lawyer as you would be adouble-edged sword. One day you’d be helping me fight my case, but the next, you’d be helping otherssue me, wouldn’t you?”

As Bella spoke, she poked her face. “You won’t even give my family the slightest bit of considerationeven though my father is your father’s benefactor, after all. How could a mere girl such as I amount toanything in your esteemed eyes? Once you’ve changed your allegiance and others want you to attackme, wouldn’t you have to do the best you can then? I simply can’t afford to hire such a great personageas you!”

Bella felt goosebumps rise all over her own body even as she finished speaking.

Ew!

Even Rosalind Gold at her best had to admit defeat when Bella started being bitchy.

Justin could not stop the corners of his lips from curling up when he saw the innocent look on Bella’sface that actually hid malicious intentions.

Hunter stifled a cough, so angry his chest started hurting.

At first, Bethany Salvador wanted to rely on the fact that she was on her home ground and in HunterLovett’s presence to taunt Bella. Even if she could not actually do anything to her, she would have beenable to vent her anger.
