Chapter 487

Bella’s forceful questioning seemed to have ripped off Hunter’s veil

and labeled him ungrateful.

Bella thought to herself; ‘Did you not want to distance yourself from

the Thompsons? Alright, then. I’ll bring up exactly what you didn’t

want to be mentioned and expose the thoughts you didn’t want to see

the light of day for everyone to see!’

Hunter’s lips were pressed tightly together, and though they still held

the semblance of a smile, his gaze toward Bella was not at all friendly.

In fact, his gaze had turned cold.

Hunter thought, ‘This was the woman my brother Steven was so

smitten with? A sarcastic, willful, sharp-tongued shrew?! If Steven married a troublesome woman like that, would our family have any

more peaceful days in the future? Would it not be chaos?!’

The atmosphere became tense and awkward.

Gregory Salvador felt that Bella Thompson was pretty much the bane

of his existence. Every time he saw her, she just had to make trouble.

Hunter’s capability as a lawyer was unquestionable. Gregory always

wanted to take Hunter under his wing, but he had not known Hunter

had such a connection to the Thompsons, which made him very

uncomfortable.

“So it turns out that Mr. Lovett had such a past with the Thompsons

that no one knew about.”

Justin’s words were directed toward Hunter, but his deep gaze never

left Bella. “And it looks like Ms. Thompson is the daughter of your

benefactor. Is this how you repay kindness, Mr. Lovett? By butting

heads with Ms. Thompson over and over.”

Bella could not help but frown as she digested what Justin said.

Was he standing up for her? Was he taking the side of an outsider,

hers, in front of his family?

He had never taken her side, even when they had been husband and

wife. Was he doing an about-face and trying to make it up to her?

Bella thought, ‘That’s not necessary! He must be mad!’

Upon hearing this, Nigel frowned even more deeply.

“Ha! Ms. Thompson, so according to you, I can’t be a lawyer just

because I, as a Lovett, received the kindness of your family? Is that

it?”

Hunter would not just stand there and let himself be mocked.copy right hot novel pub
