LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Bella’s face was filled with resentment and unwillingness. With Jun Chester’s power and influence, a single word from him could send her to the deepest depths of hell. The most terrifying thing was that if he wanted to, he could destroy the entire Harding family! Bella could not let such a tragedy happen. Even if she had to use their past to force Jun Chester, she had no other choice.

However, Jun Chester’s next words left Bella’s heart cold and lifeless. “Bella, you never change!” he said. “Do you really think that, after all this time, I would still believe your words?”

Bella couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her emotions becoming extremely agitated. “What do you mean? Have you forgotten how I helped you back then?”

Jun Chester sneered. “Help me? You say you took money from your family to support me, but did that money really belong to the Harding family?”

Bella’s face showed astonishment, her heart filled with panic. How was this possible? Jun Chester couldn’t possibly know about those things from back then! He wouldn’t have any doubts about them either!

Jun Chester looked at Bella contemptuously. “In order to lessen his years behind bars, Edric has already confessed everything!” he revealed. “Before my mother passed away, she left me an inheritance, but I was young at the time, so she never told me about it!”

Bella was completely devastated! Yet, Jun Chester continued to list the Harding family’s crimes. “More than a decade ago, tens of millions were a huge sum, and my mother, because of us, trusted your family!” he said. “She entrusted the inheritance she left me to a trust company under your Harding Group.”

“As for the money you gave me back then, just over a hundred thousand, you lied to me, saying that you stole it from the Harding family!”

“Don’t you find this ridiculous?”

As he spoke these words, Jun Chester’s voice was very soft. But to Bella’s ears, each word was like a rumble of thunder, shaking her mind until it was dizzy.

Jun Chester looked at Bella coldly. “The crimes committed by the Harding family are unforgivable!” he declared.

Bella broke down in tears. “Jun Chester, what will it take for you to let me go?” she begged. “Please, Lyvia and I are sisters, spare me just this once! As long as you spare me this time, from now on, I will just be at your disposal!”

Jun Chester paid no more attention to Bella and strode towards the ancestral hall. Behind him, Bella’s voice, filled with extreme terror, still lingered.

“Jun Chester! You can’t be so heartless! I am your stepmother, and your father has only just passed away! You can’t treat me like this!”

“Jun Chester! Jun Chester!”

For seven years, Bella had been in the limelight in Dirtmouth and the entire business world of Lordran. But now, in front of Jun Chester, she was like a desperate and total failure.

Jun Chester returned to the ancestral hall, his eyes filled with an even colder glint.

The tombstone of his mother Iris, the legitimate madam of the house, had been put to a corner of the ancestral hall after her death, now covered in cobwebs. Jun Chester glanced once more at the coffin placed in the center of the hall, which contained his father, Wilfrid Chester. If it weren’t for the fact that he was his father, Jun Chester really wanted to throw the coffin out!

Suppressing his anger, Jun Chester went over to clean his mother’s tombstone, and took off his coat to cover it. However, at that moment, he heard some hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around, and it was Bella, now holding a bottle of wine in her hand.

She wiped her beautiful face, her demeanor incredibly submissive. “Jun Chester, I was wrong! I must apologize to you and to your mother!” she said. “Don’t worry, if you want me to die, I will do as you say. But you must let me apologize to your mother before I die, or I will have no peace!”

Bella’s tone was sincere, and even he felt she was genuine, and he was somewhat moved. He even inexplicably recalled Wilfrid Chester’s last words. In Wilfrid Chester’s eyes, Bella was just a pawn he had used, not even worth a piece of clothing.

But what Bella did next made Jun Chester lose all pity he had for her. She first walked to Iris’s tombstone and poured three cups of liquor. She poured the first cup on the ground as a tribute to Iris, drank the second cup as an apology, and then offered the last cup to Jun Chester, her voice trembling.

“Jun Chester, drink this, and from now on, we are even!” she said. “And… I beg you. After I die, please take good care of my daughter! After all, she is your… she is a member of the Chester family!”

At that, two rows of tears overflowed from Bella’s eyes again, making for a heartbreaking scene. Jun Chester had not expected Bella to truly repent. But when Jun Chester took the cup from Bella and brought it to his lips, he slightly frowned. In the end, he still drank it down.

After Jun Chester drank the liquor, Bella finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was not ordinary liquor, nor was it poison. However, after a man drank it, he would become strange, and his mind would be filled with lewd thoughts.

Jun Chester looked at Bella and said indifferently, “I am really curious now, how you will satisfy me!”

Bella suddenly smiled, took off her coat, and parted her lips slightly. “Do whatever you want!” she said. “Your father, that old fool… is dead! So, from now on, Ann and I can only rely on you!”

At that, Bella gently closed her eyes, her intentions clear. Her originally panicked face now revealed a seductive charm. If he were any other man, seeing her like this would probably make him willingly submit to her.

However, Jun Chester put down the cup and did nothing. Soon, a trickle of liquid slid from his fingertips into the cup. When she heard the noise, Bella instinctively opened her eyes and was immediately horrified.

She stared unblinkingly at Jun Chester, her heart unable to calm down for a long time, almost scared to death! How could this be possible? How could his cultivation have reached such a level?

Jun Chester squinted at Bella and said, “Bella, you really are a despicable woman!” Bella’s face immediately was tinged a deep shade of red. There was no other situation that could make her feel as mortified and angry as she did now.

Yet, even so, Bella refused to believe that Jun Chester could resist the temptation. She had absolute confidence in herself, not to mention that she and Lyvia looked just the same. Bella gritted her pearly white teeth. Since she had already come this far, she might as well continue to undo the buttons of her blouse.

However, just at that moment, a trembling voice came from outside the door. “Bella! He is your brother-in-law now!” Jun Chester and Bella both looked towards the door, where Lyvia, accompanied by Dion, appeared outside.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
