The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2207

Tears filled Bella's eyes as she clutched at Jace's clothing, sobbing uncontrollably. "I miss my father, my brothers, and Justin. Please, let me go home... Please..."

Jace listened in silence, his steps steady and resolute.

"Return Bella to me!" Christopher screamed desperately, dropping all pretense as he frantically blocked Jace's path.

"She's not legally your wife yet, so she isn't yours," Jace replied blankly. He looked at Christopher with a hint of derision. "Even if I gave her to you, can your body even handle it?"

Christopher's weakened body trembled as he retracted his shaking hand.

Although exhausted and terrified, Bella remained clear-headed. Jace's words carried a hidden meaning. Was Christopher's body truly at its limit?

The sea breeze only grew stronger in the night, howling relentlessly.

Jace held Bella tightly, moving forward steadily. As her sobs subsided, he spoke calmly. "There will be a typhoon tonight."

Bella looked up at the man's jawline. "If there were no typhoon, would you still have stopped me from leaving?"

Jace's gaze darkened as he continued to walk. "I'll let you in on a secret. I came here to ensure you don't end up with Christopher."

Bella's eyes widened with a mixture of hope and dismay. This man felt like her older brother, or perhaps she had unconsciously placed him in that role.

Despite everything, she clung to the hope that within him, there might still be a trace of the kind and bright person she once knew.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"This is an order from my boss," Jace said, looking down at her. "Don't be mistaken. Even if the night were clear, I would still have stopped you."

Bella's heart sank, feeling profound hopelessness.

"Everything that Christopher has was given to him by our boss. Now that he is no longer useful, everything he has will be reclaimed." Jace's tone was matter-of-fact. "The Boss never makes a losing deal."

"Who is this boss?" Bella's voice was hoarse as she asked. "Is he someone Justin and I know? He had calculated everything so precisely, manipulating everyone, including Christopher and me, playing with everything at his whim. Does he know me or even understand me? How did you come to be involved with him?"

After a long hesitation, Bella felt she had never been so close to the truth.

"I am not your older brother," Jace said solemnly. He fell silent. "I advise you to stay away from the truth. The truth can only lead to utter ruin."

The next morning, a convoy from the Presidential House escorted Asher to the palace to meet King George. The group anxiously awaited news.

In the afternoon, Asher returned, handing over the King's signed special authorization document to

Edward.

"We can mobilize the troops now." Everyone felt renewed hope as they prepared.

Only Justin noticed the shadow of melancholy in Asher's eyes upon his return from the palace.
