The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2200

Bella's heart pounded wildly.

Hugh never liked the sea either. He said that the vast and mysterious ocean always filled him with an inexplicable melancholy. He preferred towering mountains, relishing in the feeling of standing at the peak and surveying the world below. In the end, he was lost to the vast ocean.

Hugh did not like eating fish either. He found it tedious to pick out the bones, but whenever Bella ate fish, he would painstakingly remove every single bone for her.

Bella was sure that he was Hugh. He had to be!

"Hugh! It's me, Bella! Don't you recognize me?! Hugh!" Bella cried out, her eyes brimming with tears as she repeatedly called his name, desperately trying to awaken his memories.

"Ms. Thompson, you've mistaken me for someone else." Jace looked at her with indifference, becoming slightly annoyed. "I have no parents, no family, and no siblings. Mr. Iverson, staring at the sea for too long can cause hallucinations. You should have Ms. Thompson's brain checked."

Bella was forcibly sent back to her room by Christopher's bodyguards.

In the dining room, the air between the two men was tense.

While Christopher brooded, Jace was eating heartily, ignoring the seething man.

"How long are you planning to stay here?" Christopher asked coldly.

"Until you successfully marry her," Jace replied as he picked up a napkin to wipe his lips. At that moment, there was a fleeting trace of aristocratic elegance in his demeanor, but it quickly vanished. "If you can successfully marry Ms. Thompson, I will leave."

Christopher's eyes darkened. "And if we don't?"

Jace calmly took a sip of water.

"You'll take my fiancée away from me and bring her to the Boss, won't you?" Christopher's shoulders trembled slightly beneath his suit.

"If you truly love Ms. Thompson, this is the only correct choice," Jace said, suddenly rising from his seat. "If you do manage to marry her, then the Boss will send his blessings to you both."

With that, Jace turned and walked away.

His tall, proud figure retained a trace of the heroic spirit he had once possessed as a chief pilot.

Christopher was temporarily stunned, but then everything became clear.

Grant's mind was complex, and his understanding of human nature was unparalleled.

He had sent Jace here not only as a backup plan but also to stabilize Bella's emotions. With " Hugh" by her side, would she still want to run? Would she still think of escaping?

For five days, Justin and the Thompson siblings turned the entire country of Sentania upside down. They started searching every island, every sea, and every city, leaving no stone unturned.

Declan had also arrived with reinforcements, joining Justin and Asher in combing through every island.

The nights were pitch black, obscuring the landscape and making it nearly impossible to find anyone. Additionally, wild animals roamed the lands. Despite this, Justin showed no intention of retreating, continuing to search for any sign of Bella.

Time was running out.

The mere thought of Bella being held captive by that beast Christopher made Justin's heart ache. He could not allow himself to stop or slack off, not even for a moment.

Ralph and Declan were both on the verge of collapse, but Justin kept pushing forward relentlessly.

They both worried that Justin's body would give out before they could find Bella.

By the sixth day, everyone was utterly exhausted.

"We could keep searching like this for a year and it would still be hopeless! We don't have enough manpower to search the entire country!" Declan slammed his fist over the map spread out on the table.

Even Ralph, a seasoned police officer, had come down with a fever due to the relentless stress, relying on medication to push through.

They were all stretched beyond their limits, but the search area was too vast. They needed more support.

However, this was Sentania, not their home country. There were too many obstacles, and even the President, Bella's brother-in-law, needed royal approval to deploy the military.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

As they reached another dead end, Camilla suddenly appeared, leading a familiar young woman into their midst.
