The Divorced Heiress' Revenge

121-125

Chapter 121

Ryan was frightened by Justin’s ferocious gaze.

Justin was not so angry, even when Rosalind went abroad and left him three years ago.

In fact, Ryan was half-joking. He was always teasing his best friend.

Ryan was just making fun of Justin, but he did not expect Justin to blow up like that.

It seemed that Justin really cared about his ex-wife.

The bartender’s face turned pale with fear when he saw this. Not many people in Savrow dared to grab Ryan Hoffman by the collar.

“Justin, are you in love with Anna?”

Justin realized that he was drunk. His heart trembled, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

“Justin, haven’t you noticed? Since your divorce, you’ve become quite abnormal.”

Ryan looked at him deeply. “You have been my only friend since we were kids. Why won’t you tell me the truth?”

“I don’t like her.” Justin spat out each word with force.

“Sure, you don’t like her. Let’s just pretend that you don’t.”

“Ryan!”

Ryan ignored his outburst and continued, “Justin, I told you that if you’re in love with Anna and want to get back together with her, then as your best friend, I will definitely support you and help you. But if you

don’t mean that and just don’t like the fact that your ex-wife is being pursued by other men, then I hope you can give me a chance to fulfill my wish. I can see what my heart wants. I like Anna, and I want to pursue her.”

Justin felt as if he had been shot in the chest. He slowly let go of Ryan and staggered back two steps.

Ryan straightened up, took a breath to calm down, and took out the sapphire necklace from his suit pocket.

“She…” Justin was startled.

“She didn’t accept it.”

Ryan frowned and smiled bitterly. “Anna is not a materialistic woman. She returned the necklace to me as soon as she left you. Sigh… Justin, what on earth did you do to her in the past? When Anna sees you, she looks like she’s seeing an enemy. She’ll find any opportunity to provoke you and step on you. You two are really sworn enemies.”

Justin’s thin lips tightened into a straight line.

His heart suddenly throbbed when he thought of how he had turned a blind eye to her thoughts in the past three years, the shredded handmade suit, and the wardrobe full of gifts.

After Bella got off work, she did not go home. Instead, she asked Steven to leave. Then she went to the cathedral in the west district of Savrow by herself.

The golden dome of the cathedral was magnificent and opulent.

Asher was wearing a black pastor’s uniform. He stood under the giant cross and held a Bible as he preached to churchgoers.

Bella sat quietly in the back row and listened carefully. Her eldest brother’s voice was so pleasant that she felt as if her body and mind were being purified from the inside out.

The sermon ended, and the churchgoers dispersed.

Asher closed the Bible and walked toward his sister with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming?” Asher reached out to touch the top of her head.

“Well… I know you’re busy, so I don’t want to disturb you.” Bella smiled with squinted eyes.
