The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

But how could they change Wyatt's mind? How could they stop Amelia from marrying Christopher?

Bella took a deep breath and roughly outlined tonight's events to Justin, naturally omitting the conflict with Wyatt.

She chose to downplay it, afraid of making Justin feel worried and guilty.

Justin's strong arms tightened around her waist, and his expression furrowed. "So, just because you and I are together, Chairman Thompson wants to rush your sister into a marriage with the Iversons? Even if he favors them, this seems too abrupt."

"It seems sudden, but it's not so unexpected."

Bella shook her head in frustration, her anger manifesting in a sharp grip on Justin's chest. "Wyatt had been scheming behind our backs. He's never been happy about our relationship. It's possible he's already secretly arranged with Chairman Iverson to marry me off to Christopher. After the recent horse racing event, I heard from Steve that news of Wyatt's cordial relationship with Christopher was spreading. It's possible that they were laying the groundwork for the marriage alliance. It's just that they didn't expect the ordeal with the Hoffmans and Shannon getting arrested. Otherwise, Wyatt might've publicly announced my engagement with Christopher at the event. He's capable of anything!"

Justin felt a burning sensation from her grip-a slight pain that also felt like happiness. "Don't worry, Bella. Even if Chairman Thompson goes ahead with his plan, do you think I would stand by and watch you get involved with the jerk, Christopher?"
