The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1209

Not many people knew about the relationship between Amelia and Steven, and the Iverson family is one of them. The Iversons must have some courage to dare lay a hand on Steven! "Steven, how did you manage to get in?" Justin asked worriedly.

"I was swarmed by the Iversons' bodyguards, but I found a way to break through and snagged an access card from one of the bodyguards and forced my way in," Steven replied, his face pale with sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Hmph! The Iverson family really went to great lengths to stop you!" Justin's eyes flashed with anger, but he kept his emotions steady in front of Bella. His tone was cold. "Your injuries are serious, especially with your old wounds. We can't waste any time. I'll have lan take you to the hospital right now."

"No! I can't leave! I must see Amelia! I have to get her out of here!" Steven's voice was hoarse, almost desperate.

"Steven, please think this through." Justin raised his eyebrows and said, "Originally, with Bella's help, you might still have a chance to be with Ms. Amelia. But if you cause such a scene tonight, you might anger Chairman Thompson and ruin any chance of being together."

"Chance? Chairman Thompson has already agreed to the Iverson family's proposal. It's a done deal! Amelia is soft-hearted and timid. She will compromise for her parents and for the family. If I don't fight for it, then what chance do we have?"

Justin looked into Steven's desperate eyes and felt his pain as if it were his own. As the president of Salvador Corporation, Justin had power and influence. Even with his grandfather's support, he had risked everything to be with Bella today.

Steven was just Bella's subordinate, and his family background was nothing in front of the Thompson family. Even if he and Amelia were truly in love, the difficulties they faced were no less than his own. "Steve, who sent people to attack you?" Bella, burning with anger, was single-mindedly bent on avenging him.

Steven shook his head. "I originally wanted to force my way through, but I was stopped by Astrid and her bodyguards. The person with her was Charles' secretary. I don't know whether it was Charles or Astrid who really ordered the attack."

Infuriated, Bella burst into laughter. Her beautiful eyes glinted with cold light. "They both share the last name, and their veins are filled with the same filthy blood! Since we can't tell them apart, let's just take them all down!"

Meanwhile, Amelia remained oblivious to Steven's ordeal. However, she was burdened with her own thoughts.

No matter how much Charles attempted to win her over, Amelia remained indifferent. She couldn't bring herself to listen to anything he said. In her heart, there was only Steven. It was impossible to accept anyone else.

Lost in her thoughts, Amelia's phone slipped from her hand to the ground. As she bent down to pick it up, Charles also moved to assist her, and their hands accidentally collided. Amelia hastily retracted her hand, but to her surprise, Charles boldly grabbed her hand!

"Ah!" She exclaimed, jerking her hand away abruptly and standing up indignantly. "Mr. Charles, what are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Ms. Amelia. Your hand is truly beautiful. I couldn't help myself... I was out of line." Charles quickly adopted a look of anxiety, his eyes misting over.

"I'm sorry, but... I really like you, Ms. Amelia. My younger brother has always loved your sister. You know that. Marrying him would ruin your life. He won't treat you well! But I'm different. I really like you. Why don't we be together? That would be for the best!"

"Enough, stop talking!" Amelia's face was flushed with shame and anger, and her heart was filled with indignation. "Even though my mother is not officially married to my father, you shouldn't treat me so disrespectfully! I'm not interested in you or your fourth brother. But at least your brother doesn't disrespect me like this. He's better than you! Don't waste your efforts. I won't choose you!"

With that, Amelia turned and left the banquet hall.

Charles thought, 'Did she really just say that my illegitimate brother is better than me?!'

He was infuriated beyond measure, and his anger surged to the forefront of his mind.

Trembling, Charles took out his phone and sent a message to his secretary.

[Tonight, I must have this ungrateful woman!]
