The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2270

Asher said, "But I love him... I can't stop loving him."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Bella squeezed her eyes shut, trying to stop her tears. Arnold often seemed like a gender-reversed version of herself. Her brother's feelings for Arnold mirrored the intense affection she once had for Justin. If the love wasn't deeply ingrained, why would he be so indulgent and accepting?

"Bella... I was wrong, terribly wrong." Asher's broad shoulders shook violently as he spoke. "I was indeed attracted by Arnold's appearance, but what I love is his soul. But I feared that Arnold would leave me because of my past with Kairos... So I couldn't be honest with him. I was too ashamed to speak up. I wanted to give him the perfect love story. I was wrong... Had I known... Had I known...

His voice choked up, unable to continue. The rose he clutched had its thorns driven deep into his palm.

Bella collected herself and asked softly, "Ash, before you came here, you received a call. Who was it from?" "Elio... He was like a brother to Kairos when he was in the orphanage. They were as close as blood-related brothers, and both were my core subordinates when I led Overcast."

"Was this person secretly bothering you all along?"

Asher shook his head. "Since Kairos passed away, I disbanded Overcast. Elio hasn't appeared since." Bella's brow furrowed in concern. "Why now? Why wait until today? Was it just so you could have an ' unforgettable' birthday?"

The timing struck her as suspicious. Asher and Arnold's relationship had been publicly known and widely discussed, even trending online. Kairos must have known that Asher had found someone who looked remarkably like his brother. To stay silent for a year and then make such a dramatic appearance now seemed too coincidental. It could not just be for revenge.

"Ash, we'll discuss the details later. You're injured, and I need to get you to the hospital first." Bella stepped forward to support Asher, but having just recovered from an illness herself, she struggled to help his heavy frame.

"Bella... I need Arnold." Asher's eyes were filled with tears and blood, the pain in his left eye blinding him. "I don't love anyone else... I only love Arnold. I want him back..."

"Ash, we need to go to the hospital!" Bella looked at his scarred face with heartbreaking pain. "I'll talk to Arnold. He loves you too. He won't want to leave you."

Asher insisted on going with Bella to find Arnold, but she firmly stopped him. She was worried about his eye injury and knew that, given the current situation, it was best for both of them to calm down. Otherwise, things could only get worse.

Steven accompanied Asher to the hospital while Bella tried to reach Arnold without success. The city was vast, and even with all her resources, finding Arnold seemed like searching for a needle in a haystack. She feared he might do something drastic.

Desperate, she contacted Drew.

An hour later, Drew reported back, "Arnold is at the Savrow airport waiting area. He's booked the next flight to Meridan, and the flight is scheduled to take off in an hour!"

Bella could not afford to waste a second. She raced toward the airport, her car speeding through the night. Despite the headlights, visibility was poor, and the recently fallen snow made driving dangerous. But nothing would stop her.

She pushed her car to 180 km/h, her skills tested by the slippery roads. She had to reach the airport before the plane took off.

"Arnold, don't leave... Don't leave us!" She whispered urgently, her heart pounding and her eyes stinging with tears.

Suddenly, a blinding white light flickered in her rearview mirror.

Confused, she glanced back but saw nothing but the endless road behind her

At that moment, a black car suddenly shot out from her right and rapidly closed in on her.

Bella's eyes widened in shock, and she swerved the wheel sharply.

Bang-!
