The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge



Bella only spent a couple of days resting in the hospital before returning to KS Group to take charge of the situation.

Due to health concerns, Wyatt had taken a step back from the public eye. He would still occasionally provide his daughter advice on major decisions behind the scenes, otherwise letting her manage everything else independently.

For two consecutive weeks, the temperatures continued to drop, and snow fell. Yet, there was still not a single word from Justin.

That kiss they shared felt more like goodbye than the start of something new.

After wrapping up an important meeting at the company, Bella headed back to her office to review the bidding proposal for the Savrow A5 real estate project.

The Savrow A5 real estate project was a huge deal that was going to be a big focus for national growth over the next five years. It had drawn widespread attention, and the potential value it could bring in was off the charts.

If it was handled well, it could really boost any businessman's status, maybe even offering a path into politics and greater power.

The A5 real estate project was located in Savrow, so the Salvador Corporation was naturally involved. Though KS Group primarily operated in Hatchbay, it was one of the nation's top financial groups and was set on winning this big deal.

Normally, Bella could easily immerse herself in work, but lately, her mind has been

wandering, making it hard to stay focused.

Eventually, she could not hold back any longer and decided to call Arnold.

After several rings, someone finally answered with a tired, raspy voice. "Bella."

"Arnold!"

Bella had not expected Arnold to actually answer the call. Hearing his familiar voice, she was overcome with joy, her words quivering with emotion. "Are you okay?"

"I'm alright," Arnold responded coldly.

But Bella could tell he was far from alright. He was merely forcing himself to pretend to be strong.

"Arnold... We all miss you, and Asher does too..."

"Bella, is there something you need?" Arnold cut her off coldly, clearly not wanting to discuss anything related to Asher. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. If there's nothing else, I have to go."

Bella's heart sank, and she hurriedly blurted out, "Actually, there is something!"

"Go on, then."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"It's about Justin's condition... I want to discuss it with you." Bella then relayed the speculation she had gathered from Alvin.

There was a long silence on the other end before Arnold slowly spoke. "If Justin is indeed using high-potency drugs, the impact on his everyday life could be catastrophic. After the extreme euphoria, he would plunge into severe suffering. He would gradually experience intense withdrawal symptoms, with his nerves and body losing control, and the situation would only worsen."

Bella urgently asked, "So how can we help him through this?"

Arnold responded in a heavy tone, "The quickest way would be for him to keep using the drugs. That would provide him instant relief."

"Arnold, you can't be serious!" Bella cried, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Justin is such an upright and principled person. How could you tell him to do drugs?!"

"If I don't suggest it, does that mean he won't seek it out himself?" Arnold's tone was rational yet cold. "If he's already suffering from addiction, the only thing that might help him get through is using the drugs again."

He continued, "The other option is to quit, but the agony of withdrawal is like having your bones ripped out or being devoured by a hundred ants. Could Justin bear such torment? Even if he could, his long absence and erratic behavior would surely raise suspicions. As soon as there's even a hint of conjecture, combined with the scheming of those with ill intentions, what do you think would await him?"

Bella sank into the leather chair, her body shaking as pain stabbed at her heart.

If the world found out the respected president of Salvador Corporation was a drug addict, the company would be in trouble. The stock prices would plummet, its reputation would be ruined, and morale would be shaky.

Justin would also be completely disgraced. He would lose everything he had worked so hard to build over the years.

Now it was up to him to decide whether to protect his empire or pull himself out of the muck.
