The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1279

The words were few but etched into his bones.

He did not need to elaborate further.

The siblings had reconciled at this point.

In Bella's heart, Asher was as important as Justin, and she could not bear to throw a tantrum with him. She was merely retaliating against her family's pressure.

"Ash, how did that bastard Charles get bailed out? Why didn't Wyatt stop it?!" Bella was burning with anxiety.

"I called mainly for this."

Asher took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "Considering Amelia's reputation and our family's image, Aunt Celeste decided to withdraw the lawsuit after discussing it with Dad."

"Withdraw the lawsuit?!" Bella and Justin's eyes widened with shock!

"How else would Charles get bailed out of the police station?"

Asher could not conceal the frustration in his tone. "Not only that, the Iverson Group had bribed the major media in Savrow, preparing scripts to clear Charles' name, portraying him as a pitiful victim. "Even if we fight back, the lawsuit has been withdrawn, and we could do nothing to him."

"Is Wyatt out of his mind?! For his image, he's disregarding his daughter's dignity?! Does the Thompson family need an image to survive?"

Bella was fuming, her shoulders trembling. "Aunt Celeste is gentle and weak. This must be Wyatt's idea! She can't defy it!"

"Bella, you're wrong this time."

Asher sighed helplessly. "It was Aunt Celeste and Amelia's suggestion. Dad was strongly against it at first, intending to duke it out with the Iverson family. However, Aunt Celeste was stubborn, and I think it was the biggest fight between her and Dad. Therefore, Dad could only respect Aunt Celeste and Amelia's wishes, swallowing his pride."

Bella already had a fever, and her vision darkened from the anger as she listened.

Although it sounded harsh, was this not like having a useless teammate in a team battle?!

"Amelia is a Thompson and unmarried. If this incident spreads, even if she is the victim, it would harm her reputation. It's unpleasant to be pushed into the limelight and pointed at by others. Besides, with such vicious people on the internet who are especially judgmental toward women, Amelia is at a disadvantage. If this incident were exposed, Amelia would be hurt the most, not that animal."

Justin patiently stroked Bella's back, analyzing the situation calmly. "Bella, don't be mad at them. They made this decision after weighing the pros and cons."

"Who cares about the online haters?! They are just a bunch of flies envious of the rich! As for those narcissistic upper-society people, we don't need to care about what they think! Those profit-seeking scum... Aunt Celeste and Amelia belong to the Thompson family. The KS Group is a billion-dollar conglomerate. Even the President has to respect us. Who dares to look down on my sister?!" Bella's eyes flashed with anger.

Asher fell silent. He knew that when Bella was overwhelmed with anger, it was useless to comfort her.

But Justin watched her and patiently explained. "Bella, you're not wrong, but you overlooked a key problem. Not everyone is as fearless and strong as you."

Bella was taken aback, lowering her eyes, but her fingers curled tightly. "Yes, you're right. But we can't let this matter go like this. Charles and the whole Iverson family must pay for it! If the law can't punish them, we will!"

Justin narrowed his eyes, his thin lips curling into a chilling smile. "It's more convenient to take matters into our own hands."

Bella closed her eyes, trying to adjust her breathing and calm down. "Ash, go to my room. There's a document about Astrid's husband accepting bribes and corruption on my laptop. Hand those to Axel. He should know what to do."

Justin and Asher were both stunned.

Bella was so amazing. During the two days she was grounded, she had to fight the Iverson family, argue with her family, and be immersed in the sadness of being separated from her lover, yet she still had the energy to do this.

"Not only that, I've secretly investigated Astrid too. She's not innocent either."
