The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2402

The air seemed to grow colder, the atmosphere heavy and tense, freezing into an eerie stillness.

It felt like an unseen blade of ice, sharp and silent, pressing down relentlessly.

"Take a guess," Grant said, his smile deepening.

His eyes glinted with a cruel amusement as they lingered on the proud, unyielding figure before him.novelbin

Grant did not give Justin an answer. But it was more cruel than any response could have been.

"Okay, understood," Justin said with a faint, humorless smile. His gaze was cold, sharp, and unwavering. "One day, you might regret the choice you made twenty years ago."

Grant's brows furrowed upon hearing those words.

"You had one chance to kill me," Justin continued, his voice calm but razor edged. "But you missed it."

With that, Justin turned and walked out, but his commanding and unshaken presence lingered, filling the space he left behind.

Grant stood frozen, his eyes fixed on the empty doorway.

The pen in his hand trembled slightly as he gripped it tightly, the veins on the back of his hand standing out starkly against his pale skin.

After Bella wrapped up her work that morning, she discovered through a trending topic on Twitter that Justin had been released on bail.

Around the same time, the Salvador Corporation made an announcement that sent shockwaves across the internet.

[Due to issues related to his private lifestyle, the Salvador Corporation's board of directors has decided to remove Mr. Justin Salvador from his position as president. In his place, the board has appointed Mr. Grant Salvador as the new president.]

The decision was finalized, leaving no room for reconsideration. The internet erupted with speculation and debate.

[Was Justin Salvador made a scapegoat in a family power struggle, or are the rumors about his lifestyle true? I've heard he's involved with drugs-is that fact or fiction?]

[These wealthy elites lead such indulgent lives in private. Is drug abuse really that surprising?]

[Could he have been framed?]

[Even if he was, he must've given them something to use against him. Flies don't buzz around eggs without cracks!

[The new president is the eldest young master of the Salvador family. He also happens to be Mr. Justin's half- brother. Could this be a calculated betrayal to seize power? It's just like the dramatic family feuds in TV dramas!]

[Even if Justin claims to be innocent, it doesn't matter now. His reputation is ruined, and he's been stripped of his title. His life's over. There's no chance of a comeback!]

Bella, who had been reading the online comments in her office, suddenly picked up her cup and smashed it to the ground.

Her face flushed with anger as she yelled, "How dare they say this?!"

Watching from the side, Steven could not help but chuckle despite his own frustration. He quickly stepped forward to clean up the shattered pieces of the cup.

"Those trolls are miserable in real life and loud on the internet. They're all unhappy with their own lives, so

they use the internet as a dumping ground for their negative emotions. On top of that, a lot of people just hate the rich. If they say something nasty, treat it like a dog fart and move on. Don't let it get to you."

"But they're not entirely wrong," Bella said, taking a deep breath to calm herself, though her chest still felt tight with frustration. "This battle is going to be hard for Justin to win. Whether the drug allegations are true or not, the rumors are already out there. To the public, his image as a drug addict is already cemented. Even if we clear his name one day, the damage is done. It's irreversible."

Just as she was venting her frustrations, her phone buzzed with a call from Ralph.

"Bella! I've found everything about Dr. Wagner, including his background and the situation with his wife and son," Ralph said eagerly.
