The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge novel Chapter 1648

Bella and Justin split up to handle the situation. Justin assisted Quentin in looking after Wyatt, while Bella gathered all the board members, except for Cameron, into another meeting room for a private discussion.

After all, only Bella, the future true successor of KS Group and the formidable heiress of the Thompson family, had the authority to do so.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was tense, filled with whispers and complaints.

These board members were all prominent figures in the business community of Hatchbay or shareholders of KS Group. They had known Wyatt for decades.

They respected Wyatt because he was the leader of the conglomerate and was capable of bringing them success and wealth.

But what was Bella doing here? No matter how much Wyatt doted on her, she was still an inexperienced girl in their eyes. If anyone from the Thompson family were to step forward in place of Wyatt, it should be Asher, the CEO of KS Group. What authority did Bella have to address them?

Upon hearing about the situation at the company, Steven promptly made his way to Bella. The two of them stood together, like back in Savrow when they fought side by side to make their mark.

Bella sat elegantly at the head of the conference table, coldly eyeing the chattering old men.

Seeing these old men being so disrespectful to Bella, Steven gritted his teeth in anger. “Ms. Bella, these old geezers are really annoying, like ducks quacking!”

Bella’s beautiful eyes darkened as she suddenly raised her voice. “Gentlemen, may I have a word?”

No one in the crowd paid her any attention.

Already worried about Wyatt’s condition, Bella completely lost her patience. She raised her slender, well-defined hand high and slammed it heavily on the table.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three deafening knocks shocked the room, almost giving a few board members a heart attack.

“Ms. Thompson, what’s the meaning of locking us in here?”

Bella turned slightly with a faint smile on her lips. “Gentlemen, let’s be honest. You might not like to hear this, but I imagine you have all profited handsomely from following my father these years. After all, you’re all elite figures in the industry—respectable and influential. Surely none of you would be so ungrateful as to bite the hand that feeds you, correct?”

The room fell silent. Bella’s sarcasm and mockery could not have been more direct. They served as a clear warning to any potential troublemakers.

“Ms. Thompson, we understand what you’re saying. We all care deeply about Chairman Thompson and the interests of the group. None of us would act against the company’s interests. It would be self-destructive.”

One of the board members tried to ease the tension.

The others quickly nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, we know none of you are like that.” Bella said, leaning forward, her fingers interlaced in a steeple. Her expression was a mix of amusement and seriousness. “However, I am a businesswoman. Just like my father, I believe in actions and not words.”

With that, she glanced at Steven, signaling him with a look.
