The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2404

Dr. Wagner recognized the stunning face before him. Alarm bells rang in his mind. He instinctively took a step back and asked, "What do you want?"

In Savrow, everyone knew the inseparable bond between Bella and Justin. Having betrayed Justin, Dr. Wagner felt guilty and could not even meet Bella's gaze.

"Dr. Wagner, please get in my car. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you." Bella said with a faint smile, her emotions unreadable.

"I have nothing to say to you," Dr. Wagner replied, fumbling for his keys as he turned to hurry into his home. But just as he reached the door, Bella's calm yet sharp voice rang out. "When you decided to stab Justin in the back, you should've known you weren't just going against him. You were also provoking KS Group, the force behind him. You should've realized it was only a matter of time before I came knocking on your door."

Dr. Wagner, who was facing away from her, trembled visibly.

"Shut up, you bitch! What do you think you're going to do to my dad? How dare you threaten him!" The angry roar came from Dr. Wagner's son, Jerome, who stormed out of the house like a rabid dog.

His eyes were bloodshot and wild, his face twisted with hostility as he glared at Bella's composed expression. Bella met his gaze fearlessly, her fingers clenched into tight fists. The delicate veins on the back of her hand subtly twitched with tension.

Dr. Wagner's eyes widened in shock, and he shouted. "Jerome! Get back to your room and lock the door. This has nothing to do with you!"

"You bitch, I can tell you're up to no good! I'll fucking kill you!" Like a madman, Jerome grabbed a flowerpot from the corner and hurled it at Bella's head without warning.

"Ms. Bella! Look out!" Steven's urgent shout rang in the air. He was just a couple of steps behind her, but it was already too late for him to intervene.

Bella had not expected such a brutal attack right from the start. 'Damn it, am I really going to take this hit? It's just a pot, right? Worst case, I'll end up with a few bruises and cuts. It won't be a big deal. Compared to the pain Justin had gone through, this will be nothing'

Her heart pounded furiously as she clenched her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut to brace for impact.

Suddenly, a wave of familiar, overpowering male presence engulfed her.

In the next instant, she felt herself pulled into a pair of strong, protective arms.

The man's heartbeat thundered against her chest. His deep breathing and husky voice carried an allure she could not resist.

Thud!

A muffled impact echoed, followed by the sound of a flowerpot shattering against something solid.

Bella opened her eyes in shock.

There he was-Justin, his intense, star-like gaze meeting hers.

"Jus-Justin?!" Steven gasped, his voice trembling with disbelief.

He had seen everything. The heavy flowerpot had struck Justin squarely on the back, breaking into pieces and scattering shards and soil. Yet, he remained unfazed as if nothing had happened.

"Bella, are you alright?* Justin looked into Bella's eyes, filled with concern as he took in her pale, trembling face.

Worried that she might have been scared out of her wits, he bent closer. His voice softened, and his gaze was gentle despite the tension in the air. "Did it hurt? Are you injured?"

Bella's lips parted, but the words were stuck in her throat. A wave of emotion overwhelmed her, and her eyes turned red as tears welled up.novelbin

For a brief moment, Justin was caught off guard. His long lashes fluttered, and his large hand, still resting protectively on her waist, tightened instinctively. His voice dropped to a husky murmur. "You don't have to be afraid. I'm here."
