The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2329

Bella's fingers tightened against the jagged rock, her attention shifting from Justin to

Clarice. Just then, Clarice reached into the box, took out the tie clip, and, in a swift motion, attached it to Justin's tie before he could react.

He froze, stepping back, but she was quick. Her fingers had already done their work.

"Mr. Justin, it suits you," Clarice's eyes glimmered, her voice soft and beguiling. For any other man, such charm would be irresistible. "It seems that my taste isn't so bad after all."

Justin's gaze darkened, visibly displeased. Yet out of politeness and the fact that she was closely associated with his elder brother, he refrained from any response that might embarrass her.

Bella watched their exchange, a storm of sadness swirling in her clear eyes. But she forced herself to regain composure. As she pulled out her phone, intending to record Clarice's actions, her vision abruptly went dark. A slender, cool hand had covered her eyes.

Then came Grant's deep voice, murmuring close to her ear, "Don't look."

Her heart jolted. She turned hurriedly, her pupils constricting as she met Grant's pale, handsome face. Her back was nearly pressed against the rock when his long arm wrapped around her, shielding her shoulder from the stone with his hand to prevent her from being hurt.
