The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1294

As Theodore saw the prosecutors approaching him, he felt overwhelmed by the impending doom, causing his legs to give in. He collapsed to his knees under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Instantly, all social media platforms and news headlines simultaneously broke the news that Councilman Theodore Savoy had been arrested.

Quick-reacting reporters rushed toward Lance.

"Chairman Iverson! Do you have anything to say about your son-in-law's arrest?"

"Were you aware of Councilman Savoy's private dealings?"

"Has Councilman Savoy been mutually benefiting you during his office? Did he covertly leverage his position to provide advantages to the Iverson Group?"

Seething with fury, Lance's face turned ashen.

He had assumed James would resolve the matter. Instead, the ravenous dogs from the prosecutor's office had stormed in, led by Wyatt Thompson's second son, Axel Thompson.

It was especially humiliating for Wyatt's son to publicly arrest his son-in-law, blatantly disrespecting him!

In hindsight, he regretted not leaving earlier during the chaos.

"Dad! Let's leave now!" James rushed over, hurriedly helping his father to leave.

The reporters followed relentlessly. As Lance struggled to move forward with his son's help, his shoe came off.

"Oh no! My shoe!" Lance awkwardly held up his left foot.

"Dad! This is no time to worry about your shoes! We need to leave now!" James, frantic and sweating, pulled his father onward.

Thus, Lance had no choice but to flee the scene with one bare foot.

"Look! Why is there a shoe on the ground?!"

"Is that Lance Iverson's shoe? Was he so flustered that he lost his shoe? Hahaha!"

The reporters laughed as they snapped pictures of the abandoned shoe.

The prosecution team dragged Theodore out of the venue. His legs went limp, as if he were too terrified to walk.

Across the street, Bella and Justin observed the entire scene.

lan had already brought over some champagne, beaming with joy. "Congratulations, Mr. Salvador and Young Madam. Together, you're unstoppable!"

The couple picked up their champagne glasses, their lips curling up with satisfaction as they gazed into each other's eyes. The clink of their glasses produced a pleasing chime.

"Thanks for helping out, Mr. Salvador. It's a pleasure working with you." Bella's eyes brimmed with affectionate warmth, her lips naturally turning rosy, stunning enough to captivate his heart and soul. "I didn't do much..."

Justin almost slipped and called her "wifey", but quickly corrected himself. "It's really all you, Bella. You're thoughtful and strategic. I merely assisted where I could."

Deep down, Justin was envious of Ryan every time he saw his best friend freely embrace Carrie and openly boast about his "charming wife" without hesitation.

It left Justin feeling bitter and sour every time he thought of it.

Yet he had only himself to blame for missing so many opportunities for happiness.

His reconciliation with Bella had already felt like a miracle, so he dared not ask for more. Even if it meant spending his life by her side, unmarried, he was content with that.

Bella noticed her brave warrior flustered by a slight misstep in his words, his eyes flickering with a touch of panic.

Her heart tightened, and she leaned in closer, wrapping her delicate arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his jaw.

lan promptly opened the car door and stepped out, embodying the role of a secretary who was supposed to see and hear nothing at such moments.

Justin's breathing grew heavier, his hand gently caressing her waist. "Bella, please stop tormenting me."
