Ch. 571..580

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 571-The large hall fell silent.

Bella blinked as she could not help but laugh.

When Justin saw her mischievous expression, he forgot about his pain and just looked at her wholeheartedly as he smiled slightly in satisfaction.

When everyone saw how Old Master Nigel did not show Gregory any mercy and scolded the master of Tideview Manor in front of them, they were all shocked.

Considering Gregory’s status as the chairman of Salvador Corporation, it was very embarrassing for him to be scolded by his own father in front of the helpers.

How humiliating!

Gregory instantly felt the injury to his pride, and his face rapidly turned red in humiliation. He ordered through gritted teeth, “Butler, disperse the crowd.” “That won’t do! This matter must be settled right now in front of everyone. No one is allowed to take a single step out of this hall!” Old Master Nigel was truly intimidating.

Bella was quite similar to Old Master Nigel when she was angry. It was as if she were his biological grandchild.

“Dad, what do you mean?” Gregory frowned and asked withunconcealed.anger.

“What do I mean? Hmph! I mean exactly what you mean!” Nigel narrowed his eyes as he sneered, “You weren’t afraid of damaging Justin’s pride when you beat him in front of everyone. Now that I want to settle this issue in front of the same crowd, what is there for you not to accept?” “Dad! You can’t keep taking his side! Aren’t you just spoiling him?” Gregory pointed angrily at Justin and shouted, his face red. “You’ve spoiled him to the point that he’s become so rebellious and doesn’t even know his limits! If things go on like this, he won’t even respect me as his father!” “Ha.” A cold sneer appeared on Justin’s face.

The moment his mother jumped from the roof of this manor, to him, his father was no more. He had died with his mother.

Bella heard Justin loud and clear.

Silently, she looked at his pale face and saw the heartbreaking hatred etched into his eyes.

She could not help but feel her heart twinge.

“You say that Justin is rebellious and doesn’t know his limits. So come on, tell me-in what way?” Nigel was so dismissive of this that he even used his little finger to pick at his teeth.

Everyone was silent.

Tsk, tsk. The old man grew more fearless and went against the grain as he grew older.

Perhaps it was because his nature had been suppressed for too long in his youth, growing up in a rich family. Now that Nigel was old and had everything at his fingertips, he let himself go completely.

“He talked back to me and disobeyed me!” Gregory was so angry that he said everything that came to mind. “I’m justified in my use of the family rules to discipline him. I had no other choice! And besides, I’m his father. What’s the problem with me teaching him a lesson?” “Hmph! If backtalk and disobedience are the problem, you’ve set a great example for your son!” Nigel looked at Shannon with disgust. “Then, according to you, I should have beat you until your limbs were broken back when you married Shannon Quarry!” Gregory and Shannon’s expressions were twisted in ugly ways.

“The Salvador family rules are meant to punish people who have tru made mistakes and truly deserve to be punished. Let me ask you what has Justin done wrong? Tell me every single thing!” Nigel smacked the armrest of his wheelchair, making Shannon jump and tremble.

Gregory was no longer able to restrain himself, so he shouted, “He refused to take part in our family event and is supporting the Thompsons instead!” 3/3

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 572-Bella’s eyes widened slightly, and she turned to look at Justin.

“KS Group has been at odds with our company for a very long time, and your precious adopted granddaughter has been causing trouble for us constantly, making the company’s stock prices fluctuate. We’ve lost billions of dollars recently! After much effort, I finally managed to organize a weekend event so that we could network among Savrow’s upper class. But at such an important moment, Justin, as the president of the company, is disregarding the company’s interests and turning to support our rival instead! Tell me, how am I supposed to not get angry?!” Bella’s eyes widened further, and she looked at Justin in disbelief.

Her heartbeat was racing.

“Oh, and the event you speak of—is it the birthday party you’re holdi for that woman this weekend?” Nigel asked.

Gregory exclaimed, “That’s the one! This is a rare opportunity!” “Ah. Since Justin isn’t taking part, I’m not showing up either.” “What?!” Gregory was pale with shock.

“Not only am I not showing up, I’m also going with Anna to take part in the birthday party Wyatt Thompson is throwing for his third wife. So, are you going to beat me with the whip too?” Nigel raised his white eyebrows and smiled mischievously.

“Grandpa Nigel…” Bella was dumbfounded.

E/L Chap 572 The blatant favoritism he was showing her moved her.

“Dad! Are you doing this on purpose?! Why do you have to go that far?!” Gregory threw the whip he was holding to the floor.

“Ha! Don’t you know why I’m going this far?” Nigel’s eyes were filled with anger because of his useless son. “That woman is widely notorious, and you still want to throw a party for her at this juncture? You might not be afraid of embarrassing yourself, but I am!” Everyone looked at Shannon with disdain and secret enjoyment at her public dressing down.

After all, Shannon, who was originally an actress, did not have a great reputation at home either. She often abused the helpers and treated them like animals. Everyone cursed her in secret and had been complaining about her for ages.

Shannon was red with utter humiliation. She wished she could dig hole and bury her head in it.

‘That old man has to die!’ Shannon thought to herself, ‘Let’s wait and see! I’ll kill you sooner or later! I’ll see how you can protect that bastard Justin and that bitch Bella then!’ “Either way, I’m not going, and neither is Justin! You can’t do anything about it, even if you’re unhappy. I support my grandson!” Upon saying that, Nigel turned his determined gaze to the young couple, and his tone became much more gentle. “Anna, Justin, let’s You can stay with me tonight.”3/3 Bella and Justin looked at each other.

They unexpectedly nodded at the same time.

Right then, Matt rushed in with a man who was carrying a medicine box.

“Old Master, the doctor is here.” “Good. He’ll come with us too. Let’s head back! I don’t want to stay a moment longer in this godforsaken place!” Nigel led his precious grandchildren and the rest of his group toward the door, leaving Gregory standing there.

“Oh, right. From today onward, the Salvador family’s archaic rules are abolished!” Nigel raised his voice in a parting shot at his own son as he was being wheeled out by Matt. “Oh, by the way, how many years has it been since the Victorian era ended? Your thinking is even more backward than an old sack of bones like mine. I’m seriously d you even managed to remember such a rotten and dusty set of Everyone else covered their mouths. They were going to burst ou laughing at this rate!

Gregory felt his blood rush to his face, looking like a ripe tomato.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 573-The group followed Nigel back to Crescent Bay.

Nigel’s affection was hard to say no to. On the way there, he held Justin’s hand with his left hand, while he held onto Bella with his right, his grip not loosening one bit.

Not only that, Nigel spent the journey cursing Gregory. After he was done with Gregory, he continued to curse Shannon. He did not even repeat a single curse word.

Bella worried he would tire himself out.

Once he was done cussing out that couple, he started fussing over Justin and even pretended to casually put Justin’s hand over Bella’s.

Justin’s heart fluttered as he gazed at Bella gently with a small smile over his grandfather’s head.

Bella was aware of his burning gaze, but she pursed her lips slight and chose to ignore it.

Justin felt anxious when he saw her remain unmoved and could not stop himself from curling his fingers to try to hold her hand.

Suddenly, the warmth under his palm vanished. Bella had retracted her hand.

He looked up and happened to meet Bella’s warning gaze squarely.

She glared at him, frowning slightly. Her fierce expression made her look like she was about to eat him alive.

Alright, alright. He still could not hold her hand.

But the very fact that she appeared before him tonight already satisfied him. He dared not wish for more.

“Justin, you have to thank Anna for tonight. If it weren’t for her concern about you and telling me in time that you were getting a beating from your old man, I wouldn’t have been able to make it there so quickly!” Nigel spoke meaningfully, giving his grandson a look. “It’s obvious that Anna cares about you. Hurry up and thank her for saving your life, you rascal!” “Thank you, Bella.” Justin’s gaze was tender, and his tone was soft and gentle.

It was as if Bella was burned by his gaze. She shivered undetectably and said indifferently, “You shouldn’t thank me, Mr. Salvador. You should thank Carrie instead.” Both the old man and his grandson were surprised. “Carrie?” “Yes. It was Carrie who called me and told me everything. Then I told Grandpa Nigel.” Bella’s gaze turned cold once more. “I was just conveying the message, so please don’t overthink it, Mr. Salvador.” “The fact that you told Grandpa about it means you still have a little bit of concern for me.” Justin was shameless. It was fine if she did not want to admit it. He would just have to cling to her instead.

Bella sneered, “Think whatever you like.”3 “Oh, so that was the case…” Nigel could not help but sigh. “That youngest granddaughter of mine is a kindhearted child. Although she didn’t grow up with me, fortunately, she hasn’t been corrupted by that wicked Shannon. Bethany, on the other hand, has been thoroughly spoiled by that foolish son of mine. She hasn’t learned anything from her mother, who seems respectable on the surface but is rotten on the inside. She even landed herself in jail. I don’t have much black hair left in the first place, but she’s going to make my hair all white from worry at this rate!” “Carrie’s a good kid. I was closest to her when I was living in Tideview Manor, and she was always very good to me.” Bella recalled her memories of Carrie and the three years she spent married to Justin. She originally thought her heart would not hurt anymore, but it twinged in pain again, though her expression remained nonchalant. “I’d go so far as to say that if I hadn’t had Carrie’s company back then, I don’t think I would have lasted that long.” Nigel understood her unsaid meaning and felt his heart ache for Bella. He turned to glare at Justin.

Justin’s eyes instantly dulled as his stomach twisted into knots, and his heart was filled with remorse and pain.

“Grandpa Nigel, there’s something I want to discuss with you, but I don’t know if I should say it. If it’s inappropriate and offensive, please pretend that I never said it.” Bella spoke with some hesitation.

“It’s fine. Whatever you say won’t be offensive.” Justin hurriedly

“Grandpa Nigel, I hope you carainiergerene and take Carrie in to live with you.” Bella had always thoughthofot Ngelsas cher biological grandfather, so she did not shy away frorb the ooierany longer.

Justin said, “I agree.” 11 Bella retorted, “I didn’t ask you!” Justin narrowed his eyes slightly with a srsale.T’That doesn’t matter. I support your idea, whether you wara my opinioioproroot.” Bella glanced at him with frustration as sheneratecederer teeth.

She really wanted to jump out of the cararigitthtovovuustoto oonththis insufferable man.

I can rest easy knowing that you ave your granarddaughter’s company too.” Bella did notoushsto treveveal Bethany’s bullying of Carrie and instead provided food forthoglight from different perspectives.

The most important thithing was for Carrie to escape Bethany’s clutches. As long as thisisooduld be resolved, the rest could come slowly.

This was a family matter,eanahid wawas not good for an outsider like Beila to interfere to bomudlich.

How considerate of you, AntaliaNigel sighed. “I’m partly to blame for this as well. I’ve been too inattentiveves to Carrie as her grandfather. It’s my fault.” He frowned deeply in remorsesasaksehagliglytly patted the back of Bella’s hand. I understand, Bella.

Her eyes reddened with hatred toward Nigel. Still, she hated Bella Thompson even more.

“That damned old man… Damn you! Bella Thompson, you won’t have a peaceful death!” Shannon cursed and grew angrier the more she thought about it, to the point that she was trembling like a crazy person who had not taken their tranquilizing medication.

Right then, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?! Didn’t I say that no one is allowed to disturb me?!” Shannon yelled.

“M-Madam Shannon… Do you want to go downstairs to take a look?” The female helper asked timidly from outside the room.

“Now what?!” “Ms. Bethany is beating up Ms. Carrie. None of us dare to step in. Do you want to go downstairs to take a look?”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 575-One commotion had just ended, and now, another one was beginning.

CLCurrently, neither Gregory nor Justin were at home, which just proved th the saying that “when the cat’s away, the mice come out to play” was tritrue.

BeBethany was certain that Carrie had snitched to Grandpa. Thus, she aran to Carrie’s room and dragged her by the hair to the living room.

BeBethany had mimicked how her father humiliated Justin in public.

“B”B-Bethany… Let go! It hurts!” Carrie’s eyes were filled with tears, and shshe felt like her scalp was about to be torn off.

YoYou traitorous, spying bitch! So you still feel pain? That’s exactly how tshshould be!Today, I have to teach you a lesson as your older sister!” BeBethany cursed at Carrie. She suddenly raised her arm high and slateeded Carrie.

‘Ahh!” The crispsgosodd of the slap startled all the employees.

They watchobdessas the gentle, weak Carrie fell heavily to the ground from the force of the stap.

Everyone was very ry worried for Carrie, but as the Salvador family’s employees, they gooddiicnot intervene in their masters’ matters and could only keep sileiteratengrily.

I “Bethany…yl was wrongngl.wawas wrong! I won’t do it again!” Carrie sobbed, covering her face.

She knew that no one was going to help her.

Carrie wanted to fight back, but her body was as soft as a ball of dough, and she had no strength to support herself.

Bethany was Grandpa’s favorite granddaughter and their parents’ favorite daughter. How could Carrie stand up to Bethany?

Bella could leave whenever she wanted, but Carrie had no way of leaving this house. So all she could do was put up with Bethany’s abuse. This was how she survived.

“Ms. Carrie! Ms. Carrie!” Linny ran over to kneel beside Carrie and gathered her into her arms, crying. “Ms. Bethany! Ms. Carrie is also Chairman Salvador’s daughter! What right do you have to bully Ms. Carrie?!” “Huh?!” Bethany huffed an angry laugh upon hearing this and propped a hand on her hip as she looked at them menacingly. “I didn’t expect you to have made such a good friend in this house, little idiot!” “L-Linny… Don’t mind me and get away!” Carrie was well aware of what her bull of an older sister was capable of and was afraid she would not be able to protect Linny. She anxiously tried to cover Linny’s mouth.

“I won’t!” Linny hugged Carrie tightly, glaring at Bethany with red, teary eyes. ” 3/4 Even if I die here or get kicked out of Savrow, I won’t leave you! Ms. Bethany, don’t you know you’re breaking the law? Even if Ms. Carrie is your little sister, you shouldn’t raise your hand against her to hurt her. This is assault, and it’s illegal!” “That’s hilarious! Who do you think you are to raise your voice at me?!” Bethany burst out into wild laughter before kicking Linny’s shoulder and knocking her down. “So what if I’m committing assault? What can you do to me? Sue me if you dare!” Linny fell to the floor, her shoulder hurting so much. It felt like her bones had shattered.

The other helpers were enraged by this. Some of them wanted to step in but were stopped by others.

Although the Salvadors did not hold total control over Savrow, it was pretty close to it.

If they stepped up now in a moment of anger, it was highly possibl that they would no longer be able to stay in Savrow.

No matter how angry they were, they were still ordinary employees They had to take their futures and their relatives’ futures into consideration.

“Bethany Salvador!” Carrie could tolerate being beaten, but when she saw Linny get kicked, an uncontrollable fury gushed out from somewhere deep within her weak and timid self. Her eyes turned red.

“What?! What did you just call me? How dare you shout my full name?!” 47 Bethany was shocked by Carrie’s never-before-seen anger.

This idiot had dared to talk back to her for the sake of a mere servant.

Has she gone mad?!

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 576-“You’ve hurt Linny. Apologize to her right now!” Carrie slowly stood up, her thin shoulders trembling with anger. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife as she glared at Bethany with a frightening, cold gleam.

This had never happened before.

“Apologize? Hahaha! In your dreams!” Little could Bethany foresee that before she even finished speaking, Carrie roared loudly and charged at her headfirst with all her strength, like an enraged calf.

It happened too quickly, and no one reacted in time. Bethany was knocked off her feet.

Bethany fell butt first and ended up sprawled on the floor like a turtle that had been flipped over.

“Pfft-!” The helpers watching could not hold it in any longer and snickered.

“Carrie Salvador!” Bethany was so angry that she was about to pop a vein.

She quickly scrambled up from the ground. She felt so utterly humiliated that she wanted to rip Carrie into pieces.

“You! Hurry up and hold her up! Quickly!” At Bethany’s command, the burly bootlicker female helpers, who usually waited upon her and Shannon, hurriedly ran over to hold Carrie up, one on each side.

“Let go of me! Let go!” Carrie struggled against them with all her might, her eyes red.

But she was so thin that it was impossible for her to win against them. Both of her feet had even left the ground.

“Bitch! Even God can’t help you this time!” Bethany glared at Carrie with bloodshot eyes as she rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to her. She raised her arm high and slapped the left side of Carrie’s face viciously, like she was facing an enemy.

“Ah-!” Carrie instantly blacked out from the pain, and she moaned. The thin nightgown she was wearing was drenched with sweat.

Bethany suddenly felt particularly satisfied when she saw Carrie i pain.

She had finally managed to vent the frustration she had suppressed for too long on Carrie’s weak little body.

“How could blush look good on only one side? I’ll help you with the other side!” Bethany raised her hand to slap the other side of Carrie’s face.

“I dare you to touch her again!” A thunderous voice, as cold as ice, rang out.

3/3 Everyone turned their heads to the door and gasped.

Bethany was so shocked when she heard the familiar voice that her heart almost leaped out of her throat.

She wanted to quickly drop her “weapon”, but no matter how quickly she did it, it was already too late.

She could only watch as that tall, handsome figure walked in through the manor’s doors, a cold and murderous air about him.

“R-Ryan-” Bethany hurriedly retracted her hand, and the face that was still twisted with viciousness a moment ago immediately turned docile and meek.

Carrie opened her eyes, which had been blurred with tears, and watched Ryan walk toward her, his gaze unwaveringly on her.

Instantly, it was like all her strength had left her and like she was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as she panted lightly.

“Ryan…” A hysterical madness filled Ryan at Carrie’s weak call of his name.

At that instant, his breath hitched, and he felt like his heart was being torn apart.

It was extremely painful.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 577-“Let her go.” Ryan looked at the two helpers holding Carrie up with a chilling, murderous gaze. His voice was low.

The two helpers were nervous, and they cast a pleading gaze at Bethany.

When Bethany saw Ryan ordering her people around, she realized he was obviously concerned for that bitch, Carrie!

Initially, Bethany had already sounded the retreat in her mind. This was Ryan Hoffman-the love of her life! How could she not be afraid?

But she suddenly remembered that because of Zoe Hoffman, she and her mother’s ties with the Hoffmans had completely soured. There was no way Ryan would fall for her anymore.

Besides, this was the Salvador residence-her home!

Even if Ryan wanted to back Carrie up, could his reach extend that far? With what right?

Thus, all of Bethany’s hate and resentment reared back to life, and she said through gritted teeth, “You’re not allowed to let her go! This is the Salvador residence, and you are my servants, so you have to listen to me-” Unexpectedly, before she even finished speaking, she heard a scream.

One of the helpers who had been restraining Carrie was sent flying with a kick from Ryan in the blink of an eye.

She landed quite a few meters away.

2/3 Bethany froze with fear when she saw the helper fly through the air and fall to the ground like a ball.

The other helper hurriedly let go of Carrie when she saw this and repeatedly bowed to Ryan, apologizing. Her body bent like a blade of grass.

“M-Mr. Hoffman… I’m sorry! But we were just listening to orders-Ah!” There was another scream.

Ryan had also kicked her far away, breaking two of her ribs.

Bethany screamed in fright.

She thought the “Prince of Savrow”, who was also nicknamed the Grim Reaper” in the rumors, was just for jokes.

Now, she realized that she was just an ignorant youth.

Everyone was stunned, and the hall was as silent as a grave.

“Ryan…” Carrie’s lashes fluttered, and her knees gave out. She fell toward Ryan.

Ryan’s eyes widened, and he deftly caught her in his arms, hooking an arm around her slim waist.

He hugged her tightly, stroking her shuddering spine with his big, warm palm.

“I’m here. You’re okay now.” 3/3 Bethany’s face twisted with jealousy as she clenched her hands tightly into fists. Her sharp nails had already broken the skin of her palm.

“It hurts…” Carrie moaned weakly.

“Where does it hurt?” Ryan’s heart wrenched.

“Hurts…” She could only moan that it hurt, as if she had not heard him at all.

It was only then that Shannon arrived late on the scene, having gotten dressed and done her hair.

She had just walked halfway down the stairs when she saw Ryan confronting Bethany, while the person he held in his arms and tenderly cared for was actually Carrie!

Shannon frowned.

Suddenly realizing something, Shannon tiptoed back up the stairs and hid herself in a corner to spy on everything happening downstairs.

“Bethany Salvador.” Ryan looked up sharply at Bethany, his gaze dark and menacing. “You just got out of jail. Do you want to go in to enjoy their cold comforts again?”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 578-“I…” Bethany was so scared by Ryan’s terrifying expression that she did not even dare to breathe too loudly. She took two steps back.

“Since you’re so forgetful, I’ll warn you one last time before all these people.” Ryan’s gaze held a wolf-like viciousness as a dark expression overtook his handsome face. “I care very much about Carrie. Whoever dares to bully her will be crossing me and my family!” His words resonated through the hall.

Bethany sweated profusely and turned pale.

Unfortunately, Gregory was not here, and neither was Shannon. There was no one who would protect her.

“You’ve been lucky thus far, not because you’re a Salvador, but because you didn’t cross my bottom line. But I’m telling you, Bethany Salvador, that the next time you dare to lay a finger on a single hair on Carrie’s head, I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail. Even Chairman Salvador won’t be able to help you!” Ryan held Carrie’s soft body with his left arm as his right hand clenched so hard that his bones were cracking. “When the time comes, don’t fucking blame me for disregarding the twenty-over years of friendship between our families!” As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced upstairs.

Shannon could sense his cold, bloodthirsty gaze. She panicked, scrambling a few steps back.

She thought, ‘Wait, why was I panicking ?! I’m the lady of this house and Ryan’s elder. Why should I be afraid of him?!’ 2/3 Bethany was unable to speak, having been condemned to silence by Ryan.

Although the surrounding employees were expressionless, she knew everyone was laughing at her on the inside!

“Carrie, come with me. I’ll take you to Justin, or if not, Bella. Okay?” Ryan spoke softly into Carrie’s ear.

Carrie was dizzy and just nodded at whatever he said.

She was very well-behaved.

Ryan’s eyes darkened, and he picked Carrie up bridal style, disregarding the others’ gazes, and strode outside.

“Ryan Hoffman! You can’t take her away!” Bethany screamed in fury. “She’s a Salvador. You can’t just take her away like this! Have you asked my dad or my mom?!” Naturally, Bethany did not want Carrie to go with Ryan. She would be so jealous that she would not be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

“I want to take Carrie with me, and Carrie wants to come with me too.

So why can’t I?” Ryan sneered coldly, glaring at Bethany with the utmost contempt.” Also, do I need to ask your mother? If she didn’t agree, she would 3/3 have come down long ago to stop me, wouldn’t she?” It was as if Bethany had been struck by thunder when she heard this.

In her daze, Ryan left with Carrie without looking back.

Outside, the cold wind was biting.

Ryan had always been careless in his actions and the way he spoke.

He was only extremely careful with Carrie.

He rubbed her arm repeatedly, back and forth, afraid that she would feel cold and wishing he could transfer all his body heat to her.

Carrie peacefully leaned her head against his broad chest and nuzzled lightly against it in a reliant manner.

Ryan swallowed.

He liked this feeling of being trusted and depended upon.

When Yasmin saw her boss carrying Carrie over, she smiled knowingly and immediately opened the door respectfully.

Just as Ryan was about to get into the car with Carrie in his arm Linny ran outside.

“Mr. Hoffman! Wait, Mr. Hoffman!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 579-Yasmin was not only Ryan’s secretary, but also his professional bodyguard. When she saw someone rush toward him, she frowned and immediately stepped in front of Ryan.

However, Linny kneeled in front of them.

Ryan and Yasmin were surprised.

“Mr. Hoffman! Please help Ms. Carrie!” Linny cried as she kneeled on the cold, hard ground.

“Help her up, Yasmin.” Ryan frowned slightly. “You can say what you want to say standing up.” Yasmin was about to lean down to help Linny up, but Linny shook her head vigorously, refusing to get up. “If you don’t promise help Ms. Carrie, I won’t get up! I know that I’m just a mere s you’ll and an ant in your eyes, but even if I have to risk my insignificant hope I can help Ms. Carrie just once!” “What on earth happened?” Ryan’s heart clenched as he asked seriously.

Linny wiped her tears away with force and shuffled forward on her knees before raising a hand to carefully roll up Carrie’s sleeve.

Instantly, Ryan and Yasmin’s eyes widened!

They saw how Carrie’s pale, slender arm was covered in bruises and 1/3scars. It was a heart-wrenching sight.

Ryan was instantly filled with rage. His arm muscles were so tense that they looked like they were about to burst out of his shirt.

“Who did this?” He squeezed out just three words in his fury.

Yasmin’s heart trembled.

2/3 No one understood Ryan better than Yasmin did. Often, when he said something calmly and lightly, that was when he was truly furious.

“It was Bethany Salvador!” Linny could not care less and called Bethany by her full name. She teared up as she added, “Bethany Salvador has been oppressing and bullying Ms. Carrie at home, just because she has the chairman and his wife’s favor! Bethany verbally and physically abused Ms. Carrie… She’s the devil! She doesn’t dare touch Ms. Carrie when Young Master Justin is at home because he’s more powerful than she is. But Youn Master Justin is the president of Salvador Corporation and stays only two nights every month at Tideview Manor. He can protect Ms. Carrie during his stays, but he can’t protect her the whole time!” Ryan frowned deeper the more he heard.

Even Yasmin’s hand had clenched into a fist.

“Mr. Hoffman, you’re Young Master Justin’s best friend. I can tell that you’re sincerely good to Ms. Carrie, so please help her! Please protect her!” Linny sobbed uncontrollably.

“Alright, I promise I’ll take care of her.” Ryan took a deep breath and looked at the pitiful girl in his arms, heart pounding hard. The burden on his shoulders was heavy.

“As long as I live, I’ll protect her.” 3/3 his Thus, Carrie was taken away by Ryan in such a grand manner.

He had even humiliated Bethany in front of so many people.

Although this happened at home, Bethany felt that Ryan had trampled her queenly dignity at home into the dust.

Bethany thought, ‘Why… Why did even that idiot have a knight in shining armor? Only I didn’t! From looks to pedigree and talent, in what way am I inferior to Carrie Salvador?! Ryan would rather go for a fool like Carrie than me. Was he concussed?’ She was about to burst with anger, so she could only take it out on Carrie’s helper, Linny. Not only did she punish Linny to clean alle toilets in Tideview Manor tonight, but she also took away Linny’s of-year bonus.

“That’s enough! Look at how evil and fierce you look. You look eve more like a bitch than that shrew, Bella Thompson! No wonder Ryan was never interested in you. Even I feel irritated to look at you right now!”

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 580-1/4 Shannon sat leisurely on the sofa, filing her bright red nails.

Bethany was panting with anger, but she could vaguely sense that her mother’s attitude was somewhat strange.

In the past, when Bethany had suffered such utter humiliation, Shannon would have stepped up to help her maintain her dignity.

After all, Bethany was Shannon’s favorite daughter, and this was the Salvador residence. How could she allow others to do as they please on her own territory?

But this time, Shannon was too calm.

There had been such a big commotion downstairs that Shannon had to have heard it. So why had she not come down to help Bethany?

“Bethany, I don’t want to see a repeat of something like this in this house ever again. Carrie is my child too. You two are blood-rela sisters. How could you hit her in front of everybody? If your father a grandfather heard about this, they would definitely blame me for n raising you right. You’re already 25 years old, so how could you act a recklessly as a maniac? You keep saying that your sister is retarded, but I think you’re not that far off either!” Shannon criticized her.

“Mom!” Bethany stormed up to Shannon and asked her with a fixed glare.” When Mr. Hoffman and I were arguing downstairs, did you see everything?” Shannon raised a thin eyebrow. “Yes. Why?” “So you just watched? You saw everything, but you didn’t help me?!” Bethany was furious. “You didn’t help me-fine. Whatever. But you even allowed Ryan to take Carrie away? How could you do this?!” “Why can’t I?” Shannon retorted with a sneer, shocking Bethany.

“Mom… You…” “Even I’ve given up on Ryan. You still haven’t? Tsk, tsk. I’m amazed at how I managed to give birth to a stupid, lovesick failure like you, despite being so sensible and intelligent myself.” Shannon shook her head as she looked at Bethany in disdain. “With the current situation, I can’t place all my hopes on you anymore. You’re a useless fool. Since Ryan is interested in your sister, I’ll just have to go with the flow and support them. Either way, Carrie’s my child too. It’s surprising that Ryan doesn’t mind that she has congenital deficiencies and is so attached to her. But since that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it. After all, if your sister really becomes a couple with Ryan, wouldn’t you, as her older sister, benefit too?” Boom-!

Bethany blacked out for a second, and all she could hear was buzzing.

What did that mean?

Support them?!

Bethany thought, ‘Mom wanted to support Carrie? Then what about me? What would that make me?! Am I just a pawn to be thrown away after Mom is done using me? Am I a joke?!’“Carrie cannot be with Ryan! Absolutely not! I won’t allow it!” Bethany roared at Shannon like a rabid dog, trembling all over.

This was the first time that she had gotten so angry at the mother she respected so much.

Shannon’s eyes darkened as she picked up the glass of red wine on the coffee table beside her and stood up to splash it at Bethany’s face.

It splashed all over Bethany, making her look like a mess.

Bethany was dumbfounded as she stared vacantly at Shannon, red wine dripping down her cheek.

“Who said you could yell at your mother? Where’s your manners?!” Shannon raised her eyebrows, crushing the expensive wine glass in her hand without hesitation. “If you’re not satisfied about this, then make sure you make Ryan Hoffman fall for you! But I can tell you, based on my experience, you should stop dreaming! Ryan will never fall for you, even if you were the last woman left on this earth!” With that, Shannon left with a huff.

Her mother’s last sentence shattered the last bit of Bethany’s self- esteem as well as the last remaining bit of her conscience.

Bethany’s eyes were red and unblinking as she slowly squatted down to pick up a shard of glass and clenched her hand around it viciously, uncaring even when blood began to flow.

It was as if she had her hands wrapped around Carrie’s throat.

“The last woman left on earth? Haha… Then I should make that a reality. They should all just die! And when they’re all dead, Ryan will be mine!”
