The Divorced Heiress' Revenge

Chapter 531

“Bella, tell me the truth. Have you fallen for that bastard again because of this incident?” Mila asked worriedly.

“No.”

Bella answered firmly. “I’m not so stupid to jump into a pile of shit. I just don’t like owing him anything.”

Inexplicably, she felt a trace of paniq, but it quickly vanished.

“That’s good, then. If you want to get back together with him, you probably won’t have any home to come back to.”

Mila cast a chilly glance at her. “Do you want your family or do you want a scumbag? You choose.”

Bella rubbed at the goosebumps that had risen all over her arms in fear.

“Bella! Mila!”

Right then, Sasha knocked on the door and strode in. “They’ve just delivered the gowns for Celeste’s birthday party. Hurry up and come take a look! I’m not too good at fashion. After all, I even wore pants to my wedding.”

“Sure, sure! We’ll head over right away!”

Bella hurriedly dragged Mila off to look for Celeste, afraid she would ask further questions.

The three women arrived at Celeste’s room, only to find a wheeled rack crammed full of gorgeous evening gowns.

Every single one was limited edition and fresh off Paris Fashion Week’s runway. They were so dazzling!

There were also rows upon rows of custom-made high heels on the floor. A few of them were topped with sparkling diamonds, making them look extravagant.

If she had been any other woman, she would be shrieking in delight by now. One could buy a house just by scraping off a few of the diamonds and selling them.

But Celeste, clad in a plain and ordinary light purple sweater, sat on the sofa at a loss.

“What’s wrong, Aunt Celeste? Your birthday is coming soon. Why aren’t you happy?” Bella sat beside Celeste and put an arm arou in a bossy manner.

“Bella, can you ask your dad nicely to call off the party?”

Celeste sighed helplessly. “I’ve been going back and forth on this with him for half a month now. I said it was fine to just have everyone gather at home. I’m not used to eating outside food anyway, and it’ll be so tiring and expensive to entertain so many guests. But Wyatt won’t listen, so what should I do?”

“Wow! Celeste, you’re showing off, aren’t you?” Sasha teased.

“If we didn’t know you, we’d probably assume you were trying to subtly show off and make us jealous.”

Mila put an arm around Sasha’s slim waist and joined in on the teasing.

Bella’s eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

When she was young, out of consideration for her feelings, Celeste made herself invisible at home after getting together with her father. She only saw her bustling around in the dining hall during mealtimes.

At the time, Bella could not remember much but knew Celeste was her mother’s love rival, so even at a young age, she was very protective of her mother and clashed with Celeste often. She often caused huge uproars at home and even said a lot of terrible things about Celeste to her face.

Bella always thought that Celeste had too little self-respect. How could she shamelessly cling to Wyatt, despite knowing he had a family and more than one woman by his side?
