The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1347

To avoid getting Bella in trouble, Steven didn't hesitate to confess to the police and sign a confession letter after Hunter approached him.

Hunter dealt with it discreetly, without even informing James about it. It was truly a swift and decisive move, catching Bella and Justin completely off guard. Justin embraced the trembling young woman firmly, glaring at Hunter's smug face. "Hunter, what despicable method did you use to make Steven confess?!" "Despicable? Me? Mr. Salvador, you're personally attacking me here. I can't take such slander. You owe me compensation for psychological damages." Hunter rubbed his chest, the smug look on his face betraying his facade. "It's the police's job to interrogate the suspects. I'm just a humble lawyer. I don't have that kind of authority. Steven made those statements, and those fingerprints belong to him. I didn't force him to do anything. It was all voluntary."

"Hunter, even if evil triumphs over good, eventually the consequences of your own actions will come back to haunt you. Don't think you've truly won until the very last moment."

Bella's beautiful eyes turned red. She gripped Justin's hand tightly, as if holding on to it was the only way she could maintain her crumbling sanity. "As long as I am alive, you will never win."

"Then I'll just have to wait and see how you plan to win, Ms. Thompson. Don't make me wait too long." Hunter spoke with a sly smile. He was the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing. No matter their tactics and plans, there was always a flaw.

The flaw was that Hunter was actually Steven's brother. They had grown up together. Despite their very different personalities, one thing was clear: Hunter, being the older brother, really knew his younger sibling inside out.

When Hunter went to negotiate with Steven, Bella and Justin had not even made it to the police station yet. But despite this, Hunter still managed to trick Steven by exploiting his vulnerabilities and making use of his weak spots.

Steven had two major weak spots: Bella and Amelia! Hunter wouldn't think twice about using them to hurt Steven. He could make Steven suffer without hesitation.

James' expression turned serious. It seemed that Hunter had made a move without him, and it was clearly effective. Even though Steven had confessed, he did not feel any appreciation for this selfish and cruel guy.

Justin was right. Hunter was a heartless beast, willing to betray his own brother for personal interest. So Hunter would do the same in the future for profit. James had to stay alert around Hunter.

"Superintendent Donald, since the suspect has pleaded guilty, we can formally prosecute Mr. Steven Lovett and proceed with the sentencing."

Hunter was eager to close the case, making sure Steven had no chance of turning the tables. He wanted Bella to regret it. Superintendent Donald certainly had this in mind as well. Otherwise, why would he make an effort to try to please the Iverson family?

He immediately said, "Now that we have concrete evidence, let's proceed according to the law."

"Wait!"

A clear and resonant voice, like timely rain, broke the heavy tension in the room.

Everyone was startled. Right after that, two sets of steady footsteps calmly entered the office.

Upon seeing the visitor, Bella exclaimed excitedly, "Ash!"

"Bella, why didn't you tell me you were coming to a place like this?" Asher frowned angrily. "Now that you have a man, you don't need your big brother anymore, do you?"

"Yeah, both of you are so stubborn with your ways that it made us worried." Arnold's tone was serious, but he cheekily winked at Bella while he stood behind his beloved man.
