Ch. 1051..1060

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1051-At that moment, Justin’s phone rang, surprising him.

It was a call from lan.

“Everything has been arranged, Mr. Salvador. During prime time tonight at 7pm, all the news channels will broadcast Winston’s arrest. I assure you that Shannon will definitely see it.” “Excellent.” Justin smirked and added, “Keep an eye on Shannon, as well as the situation here at the prison. If anything happens, inform me and Bella right away.”

“Yes, Mr. Salvador!” lan hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, Congratulations on reconciling with Young Madam, Mr. Salvador. I hope you won’t upset her again in the future. Please treasure your relationship and make up for the lost time.” lan hung up before Justin could respond, and a frown appeared between Justin’s eyebrows.

‘This little brat was getting bold enough to hang up his call! And all that chatter-was that guy shooting off his mouth trying to teach him how to do things?’ Bella blushed, feeling embarrassed at having overheard the conversation.

“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. It’s just that your voices were just so loud,” Bella said, trying to lighten the mood.

“I have no secrets from you. You can listen to whatever you want Justin reassured her with a smile and added, “Next time, I’ll be sure to put it on loud speaker and let him greet you personally.” “No thanks. Maybe we should consider giving each other some personal space.” Bella’s eyes glinted mischievously as she continued, “Also, who said I’m your wife? All I have is a divorce certificate, not a marriage license.” “Besides Bella Thompson, who else could my wife be?” Justin took her hand, looked down, and gave a kiss on the back of her hand with affection in his eyes.

“As long as you’re willing, I will hold your hand forever and grow old together with you.” “Hmph! Who cares?” Justin softly held Bella’s delicate hand. But it seemed like he also had a grip on her heart, as her cheeks blushed gradually.

Lust filled Justin’s eyes. He wasn’t content with just holding her hang So he passionately kissed her lips and savored every drop of swe saliva from her tongue eagerly.

Although Bella was not a lustful woman, she found herself deeply affected every time she was intimate with Justin. Her eyes took on a misty gaze, her nose bore tiny beads of sweat, and her entire body felt weak as her senses dulled.

As Justin grew wilder, Bella suddenly grasped his hand, which had slipped beneath her dress, as if she had touched something scalding hot.

“You arranged for lan to leak news of Winston’s arrest to the media just to provoke Shannon, didn’t you?” “Smart,” Justin responded as he caressed her smooth skin with his palm while narrowing his eyes slightly.

“Are you sure Shannon will fall for your trap? What if she stays calm and does not react to it?” Bella felt anxious, and her hands trembled lightly as she rested her hands on his broad shoulders.

“You taught me to leave no opportunity unexplored, to seize every possibility and give it my best. That’s what I learned from you, Bella,” Justin said in his captivating, husky voice.

“Well, I believe I can add some spice to your plan.” Bella’s voice was gentle and flirtatious as she hooked her fingers under his chin, smiling like a sly little fox.

Justin knew that Bella had another idea.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1052-At exactly 7:00 p.m., the news channels broadcasted the report of the shooting incident, not just once but twice. The footage of Winston’s arrest was revealed without any censorship of his face in a video that Justin provided to the media.

The death of an innocent girl in the shooting incident quickly became widely known, sparking a surge of public outrage and leading to widespread condemnation of Winston’s despicable actions on the central television station’s official website and Twitter searches.

[Savrow is known as the safest city in the nation, but there was actually a tragic shooting. It’s hard to believe!] [This Winston has no conscience! Utterly evil! He’s worse than an animal! I hope that justice is served and the innocent girl receives fair treatment under the law.

Don’t let the citizens lose faith!] [When I watch the news, the victim’s photos are exposed while the face of the perpetrator is blurred. How unfair! But the media did a great job this time around. Such a vile individual should be exposed for all to see! Even if he isn’t sentenced to death, he must be condemned socially!] [It’s truly heartbreaking that such a young girl lost her life.] [Now that the culprit has been caught, it should bring some solace to the girl’s spirit in heaven.] Initially, public opinion on Winston was overwhelmingly negative.

However, a few new comments have quietly appeared in the comment section, causing some stir.

[Do you know who Winston is?] [Insiders claim that Winston was Shannon’s long-time bodyguard and has been loyal to her for many years. Everyone within the Salvador family knows about this.] [What?! He works for Shannon?!] [It’s rumored that Winston has a complex past. He was previously involved in illegal activities while working as a mercenary in Terranova. Surprisingly, when he began working for Shannon, his past was completely concealed, and he even succeeded in infiltrating the Salvador family for many years. The power of the conglomerate is remarkable - even their bodyguards have a history as skilled killers.] [Besides, the deceased worked as a maid for the Salvador family, while Winston served as their bodyguard, both employed by Shannon. Doesn’t it seem suspicious to anyone?] People on the internet began to wildly speculate. Shannon, who was already facing public scrutiny, once again became the center of attention.

[Is Shannon cursed or something? Why does everyone around her end up in such a bad state?] [I’m tired of hearing about Shannon. Let justice be served and get rid of that old witch.] [Could it be that the girl discovered an affair between Shannon and someone else? And out of fear of losing her status and wealth if exposed, this devilish woman sent Winston to silence the girl?!] Opinions were divided, and the comments from netizens seemed unfounded. Unbeknownst to them, they were very close to the truth.

“Ms. Bella, as you requested, I’ve spread the rumors.” Steven was allowed to be discharged and was now recuperating, but he still did his utmost for Bella.

“Our contacts have shared the news across different social media channels, and public sentiment has changed. I believe Shannon must be feeling extremely uneasy with suspicion pointing toward her.” “Naturally, she’ll be anxious all the time if she’s harboring evil intentions.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1053-Bella had a knack for influencing public opinion, evoking emotions among online users, and achieving significant results with minimal effort.

“Steve, I’m sorry for bothering you while you’re still recovering.

However, you have always been the contact person at the PR company and understand the process best. The operation will be most efficient with your involvement, so I can only…”

“Ms, Bella, please don’t say that.” Steven responded earnestly yet softly. “No matter when or what happens, remember that I am here to support you.” “Steve…” Bella’s voice trailed off as her throat constricted.

It could have been due to receiving an abundance of love recently, but her heart appeared to soften with age. She found herself on the verge of tears more often than before.

The credit for this transformation went to Justin, who managed make the strong-willed iron lady more tender-hearted.

Steven complained. “I’m getting incredibly bored at the nursing home. I need something new and exciting. Otherwise, I may develop dementia prematurely.” Bella teased, “But isn’t Amelia looking after you in her free time? Are you still bored?” “Ms. Amelia is making different dishes for me every day. My once- eight-pack abs are slowly turning into one!” Steven sighed, though there was a hint of contentment in his tone.

2/3 “Amelia has inherited Aunt Celeste’s impressive cooking skills. You’re lucky!” Bella couldn’t help but sigh. After a moment of thought, she became serious. “After we get our revenge and your health improves, I plan to talk to Wyatt and Aunt Celeste about you and Amelia.

“Me? Our relationship?!” Steven’s voice became high-pitched in excitement.

Bella smiled faintly as she listened to his strong voice, indicating that his recovery was going well.

“Although you’ve watched Amelia grow up, both of you have only been dating for less than a year. There’s still a need for more understanding and interaction, so it’s not time to talk about marriage’ yet. But Amelia is, after all, the precious daughter of our Thompson family. Wyatt and Aunt Celeste have always been cautious when it comes to selecting a future son-in-law.” Bella continued, “From what I know, during Amelia’s four years of studying in Savrow, Wyatt has been tirelessly scouting for young talents within the country for her. It’s just that Aunt Celeste has been putting them off temporarily due to her young age and wanting her to focus on her studies.” Steven listened quietly, his breath slightly heavy, feeling a tightness in his chest.

“So don’t assume that just because Amelia likes you, you can let your guard down. I must inform Wyatt swiftly and help you shape your reputation to gain favor for you. You and Amelia still have a long journey ahead.”, 3/3 Bella loved her younger sister deeply and cared for her like a mother.

“Behave well and be extra kind to Amelia. You have to visit our home more frequently and show consideration for your future in-laws. As long as you both love each other and remain steadfast by each other’s side through thick and thin-despite any challenges from our family-my brothers and I will support you in overcoming them.” “Thank you, Ms. Bella.” Steven said, his throat tightening with emotions, unable to utter any other words.

Bella waved her hand cheerfully. “Oh, come on, isn’t this just natural?

You’ve been with me and my eldest brother all this time without a single day off, loyal and dedicated. As your boss, shouldn’t. I give you some perks? Besides, I’m not only doing this for you but also for my sister’s lifelong happiness. She’s delicate and timid. I’m worried that other men will bully her. With you, I feel assured because I know you.

My heart can be at ease entrusting her to you.” “Please rest assured. I truly like Ms. Amelia a lot. I swear that I will never let her down in this lifetime.” Steven solemnly made his vow, his voice tinged with a hint of choking emotion.

Bella was pleased with his answer.

Steven paused briefly and spoke softly, conveying genuine affection.” Congratulations to you and Mr. Salvador. After enduring many challenges, you have finally found your true path together. You must be happy, Ms. Bella.” “We will be happy-both of us.” Bella’s heart was moved as she smiled brightly.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1054-At Tideview Manor, the entire Salvador family and their servants were aware of all the details regarding the Winston case through television and mobile phones.

They were all shocked, and the conversations were intense.

“Winston? Mrs. Salvador’s personal guard? That Winston?” “Absolutely! It’s him! From the moment I saw that man, I had an uneasy feeling about him. He always seemed suspicious. It turns out

he’s a villain!” “Oh no, Linny… Poor Linny! She was such a good girl, and now she’s gone!” The servants couldn’t help but burst into tears, their sobs echoing one after another.

“Shannon should take half of the responsibility for Linny’s death! How could she bring such a dangerous person into the house?! She’s too selfish. Does she not value the lives of us servants?!” Someone exclaimed in anger.

“When has Madam ever treated us as human beings?!” A maid who was close to Linny spoke up with resentment. “She and her daughter are both ruthless exploiters who bully others without any remorse.

They’re more poisonous than a snake! Wasn’t Linny abused by them? There were times when they would summon her during the late hours, not allowing her to sleep. Once, when Linny was changing her clothes, I noticed bruises all over her arms and asked if Shannon and her daughter were tormenting her, but she said nothing.” “So tragic! Shannon and Bethany are simply heartless! They behave like bitches, barking all day!” Several people nodded vigorously in agreement.

They had long been tired of Shannon and Bethany but were afraid to speak out due to the Salvador family’s influence.

“Oh, how things have changed since Young Madam was still with Young Master Justin before their divorce.” Someone lamented, recalling Bella’s kindness toward the servants at Tideview Manor.

“After she left, this place lost its humanity. If it wasn’t for the money, I’d rather scavenge for scraps every day than work here!” “Then you should go out and scavenge for scraps instead of staying here!” Suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the air, startling everyone. They turn to see Bethany approaching angrily.

Bethany marched over in high heels, her face red with anger, looking absolutely furious. “What did you just say? I dare you to say it to my face!” The air suddenly turned tense as the servants dared not utter a single word.

“Why are you not speaking?” Bethany mocked, showing contempt in her twisted mouth.

“Hmph! Despicable person! It’s no wonder you’ve always been a lowly servant your whole life. You take money from the Salvador family, so you’d better watch your mouth! If I hear you mention Bella Thompson again, believe me, I’ll kick your whole family out of Savrow!” “What’s wrong with what I said?! Have you and Madam Shannon ever treated us like human beings?!” The young, spirited servant retorted, unable to bear it any longer.

“We agreed to labor contracts, not slavery! We are not dogs that belong to the Salvador family!” “You! How dare you?!” Bethany’s eyes widened and turned red, momentarily speechless.

“Young Madam is beautiful and kind-hearted. You are nothing compared to her!

As an heiress from a wealthy family, you lack manners and respect and curse like a cowboy! I’ve had enough of working here under you! I quit! If you dare, go ahead and try to kill me!” With that, the maid tore off her name tag from her chest and threw it directly at Bethany.

“You bitch! How dare you defy me?” Bethany, accustomed to bein unbridled at home, rushed forward and slapped the maid across the face.

All the servants surged forward, surrounding her. Almost everyone was tearing off their name tags, showing signs of rebellion.

Despite feeling scared, Bethany maintained the demeanor of a wealthy young lady and reprimanded them angrily. “What do you think you’re doing? If you don’t comply, I will call the police and have you arrested! If any of you leave the Salvador family, I’ll make sure you can’t survive!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1055-A deep and majestic voice emerged from the back, causing the frenzied situation to abruptly quiet down.

Everyone paused for a moment and then bowed together. “Chairman Salvador.” “Dad?” Bethany felt briefly flustered, feeling helpless and awkward.

Suddenly, Gregory and Paul appeared behind her, seemingly out of nowhere!

Wasn’t he supposed to be on a business trip? How did he suddenly come back?

“What were you doing just now? Did you lay your hands on someone?” Gregory’s expression turned icy as he inquired, his brows slightly furrowed with suppressed anger.

“Dad, I can explain. It’s the servants’ fault!” Bethany quickly adopted a sorrowful look and hurried to embrace her father’s arm, appea a mistreated little rabbit.

like “The servants were gossiping about Mom and me behind our b Their behavior was so disrespectful and appalling! Our family p their wages, but they don’t even adhere to basic professional ethic as employees should. Dad, please fire all of them right away!” “Did you resort to physical violence for that reason?” Gregory paid no heed to her protests and continued with a serious expression. “Just because you belong to the Salvador family and they are servants, does that justify your actions of hitting someone? Have you forgotten all the manners I taught you about treating others? Or is this how you have always behaved in private, only revealing it today?” 2/3 “Dad, what are you saying?” Bethany’s heart raced with anxiety as she looked at Gregory in disbelief.

“They insulted Mom and me… Do you think I was wrong? How can you say that?!” But despite her objections, Gregory remained unmoved. His expression was dark and indifferent.

The servants approached with the intention of bidding their farewells.

Even though Gregory held a high position as the head of the Salvador family, he always treated even the most common workers with compassion and courtesy, never disrespecting their dignity with his influence and power.

Despite his flaws, Gregory still maintained the attitude of an aristocrat, distinguishing him from newly-made billionaires in society.

“The smooth operation of Tideview Manor each day relies heavily on your diligent efforts. I deeply appreciate all the hard work you’v in over the years, and I truly hope that you won’t consider resig because of this incident. If you were to leave, it would be incredib difficult to find another employee as dedicated as yourself. Today’s issue was caused by my daughter, and I will make sure that she apologizes to you.” “Bethany, apologize,” Gregory said with a serious expression while looking at Bethany.

“Dad… What are you saying?” Bethany was fuming inside but managed to hold back her initial reaction. ‘Are you out of your mind?!

“Regardless, resorting to violence is never acceptable. It goes against the manners I have taught you since you were a child. It damages our family’s reputation as well. Apologize right away,” Gregory demanded firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Forced by the circumstances, Bethany reluctantly looked at her embarrassed reflection and gritted her teeth before muttering an apology to the staff. “I’m sorry, it was entirely my fault.” Bethany, who was arrogant and self-righteous, felt deeply humiliated at this moment.

At that instant, all the servants bowed at the same time and greeted them. “Hello, Ms. Carrie.” Gregory turned around in surprise and saw Ryan holding Carrie’s hand as they walked together.

They resembled a newly married couple coming home, looking so sweet together.

Strangely enough, Gregory had not noticed it before, but now not deny how well-matched they were for each other.

What really touched Gregory, though, was Ryan’s affectionate gaze Carrie. It was a gaze familiar to him deeply warm and filled with intense affection.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1056-Once upon a time, Gregory also had such affectionate eyes when he was in love.

The maids exclaimed excitedly, practically bubbling with enthusiasm.

“Wow, it’s Mr. Hoffman! Is he with Ms. Carrie?” “That’s great! Mr. Hoffman is handsome and wealthy. The most important thing is that he’s the eldest grandson of Chairman Hoffman. The entire Hoffman family will be his one day, and he’ll

surely be able to protect Ms. Carrie.” “That’s right! Bethany won’t be able to bully Carrie anymore!” The maid deliberately lowered her voice at the last sentence. But Gregory wasn’t deaf after all. He heard it and frowned slightly.

“Dad…” Carrie called out timidly. Her nervous expression evoked sense of pity.

“Hello, Uncle Greg.” Ryan smiled brightly. He raised the hand tightly intertwined with Carrie’s, deliberately showing their affection in front of everyone. “Carrie misses you and wants to come back to see you.” Carrie’s cheeks flushed red, shyly lowering her clear eyes and leaning closer to the man.

At this point, Bethany had completely given up hope of becoming Ryan’s wife after she was brutally tortured by him. Despite that, she was still jealous at the sight of her foolish sister and Ryan being a perfect match.

“Good, good.” Gregory nodded repeatedly. “Carrie, how have you been lately? Is your health okay?” “I’m fine. Hon… Ryan has been taking good care of me.” Carrie almost called Ryan “honey” but quickly corrected herself in fright.

Ryan squinted his eyes, gently held her hand, and whispered in her ear, “Honestly, I still love it when you call me ‘honey’.” Carrie tightly pressed her lips together, wanting to find a hole to hide.

in embarrassment.

“Ryan, you’ve worked hard to take care of Carrie during this time.” Grégory had evidently accepted their relationship. After all, not only were they in love, but they also came from similar backgrounds.

Even if Ryan decided to marry Carrje, the advantages of this union surpassed his initial expectations. The positive impact on the Salvador family was obvious, giving Gregory no reason to oppose it.

“Uncle Greg, you’re too kind. There’s no need for such form Ryan fixed his gaze on Carrie’s shy yet blossoming beauty full of fervent desire.

“Taking care of Carrie is the responsibility I bear for the rest life, and I also plan to cherish and take care of her for a lifetime.” Gregory awkwardly cleared his throat, his expression stiff and tense This kid had yet to formally ask him for his daughter’s hand. So Gregory would not show any emotional fluctuations. He especially would not let Ryan see that he approved of him as a future son-inlaw. That would be embarrassing!

The onlookers swooned at Ryan’s declaration of love. They were looking forward to the day they could witness Carrie’s wedding.

“Ryan…” Carrie’s eyes brimmed with tears.

“Uncle Greg, perhaps we’ve come at a bad time and disturbed your handling of family matters?” Ryan spoke casually with a hint of smirk.

“I wonder what Ms. Bethany did to upset you so much. You’re always so busy.

Justin mentioned that you barely have any time for yourself.

Don’t let trivial matters ruin your health.” Bethany trembled all over, already on the verge of an emotional outburst.

She glared fiercely at Carrie, her eyes blazing red as if she wanted to pounce and devour her own younger sister alive!

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1057-“Ryan, thank you for still thinking of me,” Gregory said with an approving smile.

“It’s not just me. Carrie and Justin were also keeping you in mind.” Ryan’s eyes lit up as he spoke warmly.

Ryan wasn’t only trying to please his future father-in-law. He also wanted to gain some brownie points for his best friend.

“I haven’t seen you for so long. Why don’t both of you join me in my

study? Let’s sit down and have a chat.” With that, Gregory’s smile softened as he gestured to Carrie. “Come, Carrie.” Despite having less interaction with her father as she grew older, in her memory, her father was always the one who doted on her the most.

“Daddy…” Her doe eyes sparkled as she let go of Ryan’s hand and walked toward Gregory.

For some reason, tears inexplicably filled Ryan’s eyes at this sight, his nose tingling with sourness.

Ryan understood that no matter how kind and loving he was to Carrie, he could never replace her family’s place in her heart.

Perhaps there were many people in this world who could live without romantic love, but no one could endure the loss of their loved ones or being separated from their family.

As Carrie came closer, Gregory greeted her with a warm smile and opened his arms wide, embracing his daughter, whom he hadn’t seen for so long. He tenderly stroked her silky black hair as she rested against his chest and silently wept.

Meanwhile, Bethany’s anger had escalated to its peak, nearly bringing her to tears.

As Gregory’s eldest daughter, Bethany had always been the apple of the Salvador family’s eye. She was proud, smart, and beautiful, as well as competitive. Since she was young, she has consistently garnered her parents’ attention at Carrie’s expense.

Nigel, Shannon, and Ryan… Carrie was gradually taking everything that once belonged to her. Even now, Carrie has taken away her father’s favor!

Bethany absolutely hated Carrie.

On the other side, Shannon was confined to her quarters.

She was terrified when she saw the news and online comments about Winston. Her mind was in a state of chaos.

Shannon frantically dug out the medication from Simon and injected herself twice with it. Only then did her twitching nerves calm down, allowing her to think clearly.

She had never thought that Winston, who had fled to Terranova, would be captured. What was more unexpected was that the sparks of public opinion about Linny’s death would directly affect her.

The fact that the police had not called her in suggested that Winston had not betrayed her.

But anything could happen in the future. Perhaps he might break under pressure and confess everything about her hiring him to kill Linny. By then, it would be too late!

At this point, Shannon was restricted by Gregory and had limited options. The only person available that could run errands for her was Bethany, who came to visit Shannon looking distraught, with eyes swollen from crying.

But Shannon had no time to attend to Bethany’s emotions. She said, ” Winston’s arrest might lead to him exposing what we’ve done. This person absolutely cannot be left alive!” “What should we do? What am I supposed to do?”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1058-Bethany’s eyes turned icy as she scoffed. “Weren’t you the one who instructed him to do those things? What does it have to do with me?

Don’t drag me into this!”!

“You little brat! Now that trouble has arrived, you want to distance yourself from it all, huh? When your own mother is in trouble, shouldn’t you think of helping out instead of hiding like a coward? If something happens to me, you will suffer too!”

Shannon’s fierce gaze made Bethany tremble with fear. Were they really a mother-and-daughter duo? They were more like accomplices in crime.

“So what do we do now? What are you planning to do?” Bethany asked impatiently and gritted her teeth.

Shannon’s expression turned cold and emotionless as she said, “I want to kill Winston.” “Kill Winston? But he’s under police custody now. How are you goin to do it?” Bethany, now somewhat desensitized by Shannon’s training, no longer turned pale nor felt her heart race at the mention of killing someone. Her first thought was about how to get it done.

“There are plenty of people in prison who are willing to accept money to resolve issues for others. With so many rowdy people inside, it’s easy to find an opportunity to kill him without anyone finding out.” With that, Shannon took out a bank card and tossed it to Bethany.” There’s enough money in here for you to deal with this situation. Get it sorted quickly. Don’t make me wait too long.” Bethany clutched the card firmly, feeling like it was a sharp blade in her hand.

“Mom, I can do this, but on one condition.” “You brat! How dare you negotiate conditions with your own mother? Do you have any conscience?” Shannon scolded angrily and stood with her hands on her hips.

Bethany said with a chilling smirk, “Mom, forgive me for being blunt, but Dad has started to despise you. Carrie, that little wench, is always with Ryan and sucking up to Bella. She’s also useless. The only person you can rely on now is me.” Shannon frowned, feeling that this daughter was truly too much like herself. But precisely because they were so similar that it sparked a hint of fear in her.

“What do you want?” “I know Ryan hates me to the core, and there’s absolutely no cha of me being with him. But I won’t allow Carrie to marry him either!” ” Bethany was burning with rage, nearly grinding her teeth to pieces. Earlier today, Ryan brought Carrie to meet Dad. They were all cozy, and Dad clearly gave his silent approval of their relationship. You must find a way to stop her from marrying into the Hoffman family!” “Well, what can I do? Ryan is completely devoted to Carrie. now. He’s absolutely infatuated with her. What options do I have?” Shannon scoffed coldly, still not readily accepting the situation.

“In that case, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you get rid of Winston.” Bethany curled her red lips in a contemptuous smile. “Mom, deep down, you know it too. We’re in this together, but what can you do while you’re stuck at home? Other than me, who else can you count on?” Shannon’s eyes turned red with anger, fuming from her ears. ‘This ungrateful and cold-hearted little brat! How could she manipulate her own mother like this?’ Seeing her mother’s delayed response, Bethany continued to weigh the pros and cons for her.

“Mom, I know you want to become Ryan’s mother-in-law, to one day rise up through the ranks with your elite son-in-law. But have you ever considered that even if Carrie marries into the Hoffman family, what help can she provide you?” “You know that Ryan is Justin’s best friend, and Carrie is close to Bella. You’ve seen how she has been supporting that despicable woman before.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1059-“Since your accident, I’ve been the one looking after you and helping you. Apart from spending time and fooling around with Ryan every day, what has Carrie done to support you? They say that when a daughter gets married, she forgets her family. Carrie is no exception.

She hasn’t even married into the Hoffman family yet, but she’s completely forgotten about her hardworking mother, who raised her!” Shannon was momentarily speechless, feeling like she had been struck by lightning.

Whether Carrie’s marriage to Ryan would really benefit her was still up for debate. Looking realistically at her own situation, she couldn’t even take a step out of the door, and her own safety was now in jeopardy. How could she have the energy to care about Carrie’s future?

Her children, though related by blood, were distinct individuals. Her priority was to be resilient and live a fulfilling life.

“Fine, I agree!” Shannon forced out those words through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with determination. “As long as you help me get rid of Winston, I promise the Hoffman family will never accept Carrie.” Bethany’s eyes lit up with excitement at Shannon’s words.

Even if Ryan married that fool, it would not matter because she would. not be able to join the Hoffman family. She would never be legitimate, and she would just be a mistress.

The air in the study was warm and harmonious. Gregory and Ryan exchanged small talk. As an elder, Gregory asked Ryan about his career. Ryan came fully prepared and responded smoothly.

Though Ryan had been close to Justin since they were children, he was now in a different position. Facing his future father-in-law, who had experienced numerous grand occasions, Ryan couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

“Mr. Hoffman, please have some tea. Ms. Carrie, this is your favorite orange juice.” Paul approached with a tray.

“Thank you, Uncle Paul,” Carrie said, holding up the glass with a bright and innocent smile.

Paul couldn’t help but smirk, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

Bethany and Carrie had such different personalities. But frankly speaking, Paul couldn’t see any trace of elegance or manners in Bethany. While Shannon knew how to act like a lady and maintain her ladylike demeanor, Bethany couldn’t even be bothered to pretend. She was like a wild girl.

Before, Paul had worried about Carrie’s future, afraid that because of her autism, she would live a lonely life and never experience love, marriage, or building a family like a normal girl. But now, it seemed he had worried too much. With Ryan showing her love and attention, Carrie’s future would be secured. She would never be bullied again.

Carrie drank her orange juice contentedly, her lips glistening.

Ryan chuckled and pulled a clean handkerchief from his pocket, patiently and tenderly wiping the water stains from her lips. The proficiency with which he did this indicated that he had done this kind of thing often.

“Ahem… Ryan.” Gregory cleared his throat, feeling overwhelmed by the display of affection. “After all you’ve been through, I can see that you have genuine feelings for Carrie. Since you want to be with my daughter, I won’t stand in your way. However, Carrie is still young.

She’s been sheltered by us since she was a child. She’s simpleminded and inexperienced in the ways of the world. This is her first time in love, and it’s her first time staying away from home for so long. You see, Carrie has never gone out at night before. Ryan, you’ve broken our family rules.” Ryan said with a grin while looking around. “I’m sorry, Uncle Greg. I didn’t consider this thoroughly. But if Carrie stays with me, I can’t let her go out at night. There are so many bad people outside, and Carrie is so beautiful. What if she was targeted by someone? How can I not worry?” Gregory shook his head. “I’m not talking about going ou aying indoors. What I mean is that although you two are in a reip, you haven’t legally married yet. Living together like this wo you much, but my daughter is a pure and innocent girl. This co tarnish her reputation.”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 1060-Though Carrie was called a fool by Bethany since she was a child, she was far from foolish. When she heard the words “living together”, she reacted with a slight shrug and trembled. The sweetness of the orange juice in her mouth left a lingering bitter taste.

Ryan secretly took her cold hand and held it tightly. He quickly said, ” Uncle Greg, I acknowledge that my private life in the past was reckless, but please give me a chance to make amends. While I was

once flirtatious, I’ve never crossed any boundaries or brought any woman home before Carrie.” “Ryan, what I mean is…” “To be honest, now I can’t imagine my life without Carrie anymore.” Ryan confessed as he placed a warm kiss on Carrie’s hand and gazed at her with affection. “Even a single day away from her feels unbearable. I’m afraid I’ll lose my mind.” Ryan’s soft, soothing voice flowed into Carrie’s ear, elicitin in her heart, as if tickled by a soft feather.

She felt the same way. She didn’t want to leave Ryan. Without she couldn’t eat or sleep in peace.

Gregory was taken aback by Ryan’s audacity. He had never encountered such shamelessness before. He found it hard to believe how bold Ryan acted in front of him, Ryan then shifted to a more serious tone and said, “I have another reason for not wanting Carrie to return to Tideview Manor.” “What could that be?” Gregory asked with confusion.

“I’m afraid Carrie will be bullied.” “What are you talking about?” Gregory appeared even more perplexed. “Carrie means everything to me, and Tideview Manor is her home. Who would dare to bully her in her own home?” “Uncle Greg, you’re not often at home, so it’s understandable that you may not fully understand the situation here. But you can’t just assume that Carrie is content with living in this house.” Ryan refrained from directly pointing out Bethany’s mistreatment toward Carrie, as he did not want to embarrass Gregory or put him in an awkward position regarding his daughters.

Ryan’s primary concern was protecting Carrie. Even if Gregory knew everything, what could he actually do about it? He could n handle his own wife, let alone Bethany.

Beside them, Paul stood silently and looked at Gregory. E Tideview Manor, including Shannon, was aware that Bethany always bullied Carrie. Meanwhile, Gregory seemed unaware situation.

en “Carrie, who is making things difficult for you in this house?” Grego locked eyes with his timid daughter, questioning her with suppresse anger.
