The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496 

Clarence reacted quickly and rushed forward to pull Steven, whose 

eyes were red from anger, off Hunter. Then he hugged Steven tightly 

from the back. 

“Steve! Have you gone mad?! How could you punch your brother?!” 

“Mad… He’s fucking crazy!” 

Hunter got up from the ground, clutching his face. “He’s becoming a 

monster who doesn’t even recognize his own family because of that 

Thompson girl!” 

“The one who’s becoming a monster isn’t me… It’s you, Hunter!” 

Steven roared. 

“That’s enough! Both of you, shut up!” Neil held his wife and roared at 

his two sons. 

Mrs. Lovett had never seen her children like this before, so she was 

very anxious. 

“Steve, I already heard about Hunter helping the Salvadors. Don’t 

blame him. He’s just doing his job as their lawyer.” Clarence was 

stuck playing the mediator. He was afraid they would start fighting if 

he took anyone’s side, even just a little. 

“I’m staying out tonight.” 

Steven walked out without saying another word, bruises blooming on 

his face. 

“Steve! Where are you going?!” Mrs. Lovett yelled worriedly. 

“Ha… Where else could he be going? Isn’t he just hurrying back to 

serve his Ms. Bella?!” 

Hunter had never suffered such humiliation before. Since there were 

no outsiders around, he felt free to say the most hurtful things to Steven. “I don’t think the Thompsons’ darling can sleep well at night 

without our Steve.” 

“You-bastard! I won’t let you insult Ms. Bella like that!” 

Steven was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. They could also 

hear the crack of his knuckles as he clenched his fists. 

If not for Clarence, who was holding Steven back, Steven would 

definitely have punched Hunter again. 

“Hunt! You’re not allowed to disrespect Ms. Bella like that!” 

Neil could not bear to listen anymore either and quickly walked up to stand between them, imposing an invisible pressure on them. 

Neither of you are allowed to leave this house tonight. Go and stand in my study! Clarence, bring the whip over later. I’ll be disciplining your two according to the family rules!” 

Hunter and Steven were shocked. 

Helplessly, Steven could only comply. “Yes, Dad.” 

Mrs. Lovett wanted to talk them down, but her husband was the head 

of the family, and she had never succeeded before, so she could only 

stand aside and sigh. 

“Steven, did you throw the first punch?” Neil asked sternly with 

furrowed brows. 

“Yes, Dad.” 

“Hurry up and apologize to your brother.” 

Steven’s fists were still clenched tightly, and his blood was still 

boiling. His anger had not dissipated at all. “Dad, I’m willing to acce 

the punishment for what I did earlier. But there is no way I’ll apologi 

to him, even if you ask me to. From now on, if he dares say anythin disrespectful about Ms. Bella, I’ll give him one punch every time he 

does it. And I’ll keep doing it until he remembers his lesson!” 

“Steven!” Hunter was about to blow his fuse at his befuddled little 

brother. 

Neil had never expected his youngest son, who had always been the 

most well-behaved, to get so angry over Bella Thompson to the point 

he raised his hand against his own family. Neil felt a little glum. 

Right then, their housekeeper hurriedly came to report. “Mr. Lovett, Chairman Thompson’s secretary is here!” 

The moment they heard Wyatt Thompson had sent someone over, they were shocked. They hurriedly set aside their family issues for the 

moment. 

Quentin walked in with a smile and could tell at a glance that. 

something was off. 

When he spotted the bruises on the two young men’s faces, 

realization dawned on him, but he only spoke of business. “Mr. 

Lovett, Chairman Thompson would like to invite you and your family 

to Yara Park to have dinner together. We hope you can grace us with your presence. Chairman Thompson has not seen Young Master Hunter and Young Master Clarence in a very long time either. It’s rare 

for your whole family to be back here in Hatchbay, so he wants to 

invite you over to catch up.” 

“Got it. Thanks for making the trip, Quentin. We’ll definitely be there on time!” Neil smiled politely. 

After seeing Quentin off, the atmosphere once again became ten 

“I’m not going.” 

Hunter refused decisively and clenched his jaw as he turned around. 

I just got back from a trip overseas, and I’m very tired, so I’m heading 

up to rest first.” 

“You’re not allowed!” 

Neil said angrily, “Who do you think you are to dare to snub Chairman Thompson? Even if your leg is broken, you’d better hop on over to the Thompsons’ home!”
