Ch. 771..780
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 771-On the white marble spiral staircase, Justin stood with his hand in his pockets, the designer suit outlining his lean and elegant figure as he descended the stairs with graceful steps.
Zoe stared at Justin. His handsome face, which radiated superiority, made her gape in awe. She even forgot to cry momentarily.
This man was indeed every woman’s dream husband.
She was right to cling to him, even if she had to throw away her shame and dignity.
She must obtain this man, no matter what!
“Justin, what do you mean? You assaulted my granddaughter, but now you’re saying it’s her fault?” Logan narrowed his eyes as he asked coldly.
Justin curled his lips mockingly. “Why repeat this and embarras granddaughter?” The crowd was stunned. What did Justin mean by that? Could be more to that night’s incident?
Zoe’s face turned pale. She hid in Logan’s arms and bit her lips, no daring to speak.
“You…!” Logan was not young anymore. The anger got to him, and his face turned red as he almost could not catch his breath.
‘Justin! What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t act recklessly in front of your elders!” “Reckless?” Justin chuckled, but his gaze was exceptionally sharp. “I’m only stating the facts. Zoe, are you willing to swear on your life that you weren’t at fault for this?” A chill ran down Zoe’s spine, and her heart thumped madly.
“Will you swear that you are innocent and knew nothing about the incident that happened at the hotel?” Justin’s gaze was as cold as the abyss, staring at her like a police officer scrutinizing a criminal.
“I…” Zoe put on an innocent and naive act. “Justin, why would you say so? Swear on what? That night… Didn’t you ask me to meet at the hotel?” Justin’s pupils shrank.
He thought Zoe would argue, but he did not expect her to fabri story.
“We agreed to meet in Room 2051. I reached first, but you didn’t sh up for a long time, so I wanted to take a shower while waiting for yo “I didn’t expect you to arrive as soon as I finished showering. Isn’t this what happened that night?” Teardrops hung on Zoe’s eyelashes. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if what she said was true. “Justin, I didn’t know why you’re unwilling to admit everything. But no matter what you say, I won’t blame you. If you want me to swear, then I will!” Zoe gritted her teeth as she raised three fingers. “I, Zoe Hoffman, swear to God that I did not say a single word of falsehood. Otherwise, I’ll die a miserable death!” Swear? How ridiculous.
Does God really exist?
Zoe did not believe in God or karma. She only knew that she must obtain whatever she wanted, no matter how dirty the means.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 772-In that instant, Justin felt that the situation was ridiculous.
He thought that even though Zoe had gone down the wrong path, she would still admit her fault when confronted. He thought she would still have a trace of her childhood innocence. After all, she was his best friend’s only sister.
But it turned out he had overestimated Zoe’s character.
She was only related to Ryan by blood, but she was nothing like Ryan in other aspects.
Zoe was corrupted. Perhaps she had been this way since the start, but Justin had a natural filter for her because she was Ryan’s sister.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to show mercy for the sake of his best friend.
“Zoe! What are you saying? Dying a miserable death? If anythin happened to you, how could I live on?” Claire took out a handke and wiped her tears.
“Zoe is my only granddaughter and the apple of my eye! We raised in luxury, and she has never suffered. She was willing to curse herse to prove her innocence because of you. This just proves that she’s speaking the truth!” Logan patted Zoe’s head while glaring at Justin. “Although Zoe is a little spoiled, she has never lied before! Is Nigel’s grandson a coward who does not dare admit his doings?” Justin narrowed his eyes. His fingers tightened into a grip, suppressing his burning anger.
“Chairman Hoffman, your words are a little too harsh!” In front of so many people, Gregory could not tolerate someone else insulting his son and even involving his father. He had to maintain his pride. “Focus on the matter at hand! Just tell me what you want. Both of our families are famous in Savrow. It’s already unsightly for you to cause a stir at my house tonight. Do you really want to make an enemy out of the Salvador family?” Zoe’s eyes shone with a vicious light.
She dragged her grandfather along this time to use his influence to force Justin to marry her.
She did not want to have a fallout with the Salvador family. That would be a worse situation for her!
“Chairman Salvador, I only have two reasonable requests.” Logan’s expression darkened. “First, I want your son to apolog Zoe! He was the reason Zoe got surrounded by reporters that almost ruining her reputation! I wanted you to hold a press conference, but you are right about how our families are both influential and prominent. If it becomes a big deal, your image will b tarnished. So, I’ll make do with a private apology from your son, and I won’t pursue the matter further.” The servants surrounding them could not bear to continue listening. All of them looked indignant. ‘How dare this old geezer dare to bully our young master! We should let the dogs out on this old geezer!’ “Mr. Hoffman! What mistake did our young master make? Why should he apologize to Ms. Zoe? Aren’t you overstepping your boundaries?” The crowd turned around, surprised to see Wilma walk out angrily, standing up for Justin.
Shannon hid behind Gregory. She was first stunned and then let out a sinister smile.
She had long disliked Wilma, that troublesome woman. Wilma had Justin’s support over the years and did not even respect her.
Now that Wilma stood up for this bastard, there would be a good show!
“Wilma, go back.” Justin was stunned and urged her in a low voice.
“Young Master, I can’t stand to see them bully you!” Wilma’s eyes were teary.
She had been watching from the stairs for a long while, holding herself back. When she heard Logan forcing Justin to apolo Zoe, she could not take it anymore.
“Chairman Salvador, Mrs. Salvador, how can a servant come out speak so arrogantly? Where are her manners?” Claire sarcastica looked at Wilma.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 773-“Mrs. Hoffman, you may not be aware of the situation in our family. Though Wilma is a maid, she has a high position in our house.” Shannon started to mock Wilma again. “She doesn’t even respect us, the masters of the house, not to mention a few guests.” “Aunt Shannon, you should know why Wilma holds a high position.” Justin walked to Wilma and shielded her behind him. His cold and icy gaze shot toward Shannon like a knife, causing her to tremble in fear. “After my mother passed away, Wilma stayed by my side and took care of me, treating me like her son. She is my family and has accompanied me since childhood. In my heart, she is as important as my mother.” “Young Master…” Wilma was so touched that tears welled up in the corner of her eyes.
“I’ve also said that Wilma’s only job in this house is to take She’s not your maid. Isn’t it normal for her not to treat yo respect, Aunt Shannon?” The crowd snickered.
After all, in the Salvador family, Wilma was much more liked by the servants.
“You!” Shannon gritted her teeth in resentment, but any further comeback would make her look disgraceful.
“Besides the apology, I have another request.” Logan ignored the fight between the women and continued coldly, ” Chairman Salvador, given the current situation, there’s only one way to resolve this properly. We should enter a marriage alliance and let Justin marry Zoe.” Everyone was shocked!
“You want me to marry Zoe?” Justin laughed, but his eyes were cold. “Mr. Hoffman, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I’d take any woman to be my wife? Do you think any woman deserves it? I don’t indulge in worldly pleasures, but that doesn’t mean I’m not picky.” His words stunned everyone!
Justin did not mention Zoe’s name, but every word seemed to strike at her heart!
Zoe’s lips trembled. She was so mad that her face turned ashen.
“Justin, mind your words!” Gregory was displeased with Hoff coercion, but he did not want things to get ugly.
“Justin Salvador! How dare you!” Logan grabbed his eagle-headed cane and slammed it on the floo He was furious and roared, “Do you think that my granddaughter is not good enough for you? You even dared to humiliate Zoe. You…” “As long as I’m alive, I will only have one wife.” Just as Justin’s voice fell, the butler rushed over. “Chairman, Young Master Justin, Ms. Bella Thompson is here!” The crisp sound of high heels echoed in the hall.
Justin’s breath hitched as he looked at the graceful figure walking toward them, his gaze burning with passion as he stared at Bella.
Zoe watched as Justin was completely enchanted by Bella. She was mad with jealousy, but there was nothing she could do.
That man’s heart and eyes belonged to Bella. There was no space for any other woman.
If not for that person who provided her with a plan and her boldness, Zoe might not even have the chance to be in the same room as Justin.
“Oh! Young Madam!” Wilma called out delightfully.
“Young Madam! It really is the Young Madam!” The servants did not dare to speak loudly, but they cast delighted and hopeful glances toward Bella.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 774-At this point, everyone knew that Justin’s heart belonged to someone else-his ex-wife.
Why did Bella suddenly appear now?
Did she hear that the Hoffmans were coming to force Justin’s hand in marriage, so she came to save him?
Bella wore a black bodycon dress and a black velvet designer suit jacket. Her shiny hair swayed to her waist, and her red lips were vibrant, making her look bold and beautiful.
Bella looked effortlessly beautiful and astonishing.
One confident glance from Bella was enough to completely crush Zoe’s self-esteem.
Seeing Bella’s sudden appearance, Claire immediately patted her chest to calm her nervous heart.
Claire had heart problems. When she thought about Bella’s deeds, Claire felt that it would be tough to deal with her. She not bear the stress.
“Grandpa! She is the woman I mentioned to you! Bella!” Zoe anxiously muttered in Logan’s ear, “She always bullies me. Grandpa, you have to stand up for me!” Logan gloomily stared at Bella’s beautiful face, feeling a little complicated.
Although it was the first time Logan met Bella, her father, Wyatt, was his old acquaintance!
They could not be considered friends, but Wyatt’s character was among the best in the elite society and was an influential figure. Logan could offend Gregory, but he did not want to offend Wyatt’s daughter.
“Chairman Salvador, good evening. Sorry for my unannounced arrival. Oh, Chairman Hoffman, you’re here too.” Bella smiled and humbly bowed to Logan. “Greetings, Chairman Hoffman.” She was elegant and knowledgeable, as expected of Wyatt’s daughter!
Zoe anxiously urged, “Grandpa! Why aren’t you saying anything? She’s my bully and my love rival! She wants to snatch Justin away from me!” Logan pursed his lips. He could not help his granddaughter.
He was a mighty figure who fought his way to the top in his years. How could he argue with a young girl like Bella? He w his dignity!
Justin’s gaze was passionate as he stared at Bella’s stunning b His reason told him that he should be angry with her for hurting deeply, but his heart and body were burning with desire. The ragin hormones told him that he still longed for her.
ger e “Ms. Bella, it’s late. Why are you here?” Gregory smiled faintly, still maintaining a detached attitude toward his former daughter-in-law.
“Yeah. Ms. Bella, as you’ve said, your sudden visit seemed quite presumptuous.” Shannon smiled mockingly, ready to watch the show. “Didn’t you see that we have distinguished guests? We are talking about important matters, and it’s unsuitable for outsiders to be here. If we have good news, we will inform you.” Her words were threatening, holding a deeper meaning.
Justin’s face darkened. He was about to speak when Bella chuckled.” Mrs. Salvador, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not interested in the conversation between your families at all. I came for you.” The crowd was taken aback and looked at each other.
Shannon was stunned, frowning. “Me? Why?” “Do you want to talk about it alone, or should I discuss it openly here?” Bella smiled, her eyes shining with a cold light.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 775-The hall fell silent. Bella’s commanding presence only made everyone feel as if they were in an icy cave.
Her intimidating look was not inferior to Logan, who straddled both sides of the law!
Shannon wanted to watch the show with a smile, thinking that Bella had come because she heard about the Hoffmans trying to force Justin into marriage and wanted to snatch Justin from Zoe.
She thought she could enjoy the show, but Bella’s unexpected intentions disrupted her plans entirely.
“Ms. Bella, you’re looking for me? I don’t have anything to do with you. Why are you looking for me?” Shannon looked surprised and chuckled dryly.
“Whatever ties we had ended the day I divorced Justin.” Bella’s tone was nonchalant, revealing nothing about her en But your entanglement with one of your old acquaintances from over.” Her casual words were like a bomb that took the crowd by surp “Zoe! What is Ms. Bella saying? What’s going on?” Logan stared Zoe unbelievably.
“Grandpa… I told you before. Have you forgotten?” Zoe reminded him timidly.
“Told me? When did you tell me? I am old, but I’m not senile! You’ve never mentioned that Justin had been divorced once.
Logan had been recuperating overseas for the past year, leaving the business to Ryan and his second son, Liam. He was unaware that Justin was married and divorced, and that his ex-wife was Wyatt’s daughter.
He felt deceived!
“Mr. Hoffman, so what if our Young Master was divorced once?!” Wilma could not endure it anymore. She retorted, “Our Young Master is an outstanding man. Even if he was divorced eight times, he would still have a long line of women willing to marry him! Also, didn’t your granddaughter propose marriage to our Young Master? She didn’t mind at all. Why are you making a fuss?” “Old hag, who gave you the right to speak here?” Logan scolded Wilma in anger and embarrassment.
“This is the Salvador family’s manor, not the Hoffmans’. I ca whatever I want. Who do you think you are?” Wilma snorted ar turned around, ignoring Logan.
“You!” Logan’s face reddened in anger, but quarreling with a servant fro another family was truly an act beneath him.
Gregory had been holding back the whole night. Now that Wilma stood up against Logan, he could finally release some pent-up frustration.
Although he did not like Justin much, he was still his flesh and blood.
He could scold and beat Justin, but not anyone else!
Justin’s breath hitched, and his heart thumped. He strode toward Bella and lowered his voice. “Bella, you can tell me. I’ll help you.” “Why? Are you afraid that I’m interrupting your discussion?” Bella’s dark eyelashes fluttered as she cast an icy glance at Justin, whispering in a voice only they could hear, “Rest assured. I won’t disrupt your family meeting. I’m only here for Shannon, and I will leave after that.” “I’ve said that I will help you if you face any difficulties.” Justin’s brows furrowed, complicated emotions surging within his eyes.
“You can’t resolve it, and I don’t need you to.” Bella avoided his intense gaze and turned to look at Shannon, her face expressionless.
“Ms. Bella, since you’ve come all this way, I don’t mind treatin a cup of coffee. But I have nothing to say to you.” Shannon slightly raised her chin, lifting her eyebrows_in arrogal As for whatever old acquaintances. I don’t understand what you talking about.” “Do you also have nothing to say about Celeste?” Bella’s gaze was as cold as ice, her tone bone-chilling.
Upon hearing this, Shannon’s heart skipped a beat, and her shoulders trembled involuntarily.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 776-Why did Bella want to talk about Celeste? Could she have discovered something? Did that man betray her?
Impossible… It’s impossible!
This bratty girl was setting her up!
“Ms. Thompson, let’s talk about it another day, or perhaps you can come over tomorrow.” Gregory noticed the tension between Bella and Shannon, so he stood. out, trying to send Bella away first. “As you can see, we have guests here, and it’s not very convenient for us.” Bella’s smiling face immediately turned cold. She was about to speak when Justin grabbed her thin wrist and dragged her up the stairs with everyone watching. He did not give her a chance to resist!
“What are you doing? Justin! Let me go!” Bella blushed, trying her best to break free, but to no avail.
Once this man had set his mind on something, there was no stopping him!
“Oh!” Wilma covered her mouth as her eyes shone with excitement.
Wilma thought, ‘Young Master is so dominant, and Young Madam looks so shy!’ “Justin! Where are you going? Come back!” No matter how Gregory shouted, Justin did not glance back and quickly disappeared from the hall with Bella.
The Hoffmans were left hanging. With the male lead gone, the well- prepared stage seemed to have lost its direction, making the scene.
awkward.
Zoe, especially, had eyes red from hatred. Her expression was twisted with jealousy.
She thought, ‘As long as that bitch appears, she immediately becomes the spotlight, no matter where or who is around!’ Zoe suddenly understood something at this moment.
Her hatred for Bella was not entirely because Bella was her love rival.
Zoe resented Bella because she was jealous of the latter’s brilliance and pride.
Zoe thought that there could only be one person who stood out in this world, and that was herself. She could not accept being overshadowed by someone else shining brighter than her!
“Dad! Mom! I’m back!” Bethany rushed in, panting heavily.
To greet the guests, she had changed into some decent new clothes, but she still looked haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She reeked of alcohol, and her face was pale with lipstick that was too red for her. She looked terrifying.
Seeing her daughter’s ghostly state, Shannon felt so embarrassed that she wanted to press Bethany’s head into a toilet bowl to flush her makeup away.
“Bethany, where did you go? Why do you smell like alcohol?” Gregory scrutinized her and frowned.
“Oh… I was meeting with my friends, so we drank a little.” Bethany could not suppress herself and burped loudly.
“Quick, take Ms. Bethany to her room to rest!” Shannon hurriedly ordered.
“Oh, Zoe!” Taking advantage of her drunken state, Bethany ran to Zoe and giggled. “Congratulations! You’re about to marry my brother and become my sister-in-law! After scheming for so long, you’ve finally gotten Rosalind out of the picture and chased Bella away. You’ve finally gotten what you wanted! Haha!” Logan frowned deeply.
Claire’s and Zoe’s faces stiffened. Their composure was about to shatter.
“Bethany, what do you mean? Are you mocking me or just drunk?” Zoe was full of anger. After being provoked by Bethany, she blurted out, “I know what you’re thinking. You hold a grudge against me because you wanted to marry my brother and asked me for help, but I refused.”.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 777-Logan’s expression changed as he listened to Zoe’s words, glancing at Bethany with disdain.
It was fortunate that his grandson had taste in women and did not fancy this impudent and indecent woman in front of him. Otherwise, it would have been an unlucky incident for their family.
“You!” Bethany’s eyes widened in anger. Zoe sneered, “Even if you’re unwilling, there’s nothing you can do. My brother just doesn’t like you.” “Pfft… Hahaha!” Bethany patted her chest and smiled in anger. instead. “We’re the same. My brother doesn’t like you either, right?” “You!” This time, it was Bethany’s turn to be mad.
“When I came home, I saw Bella’s limited edition Bugatti Veyron parked at the entrance. It seems she has arrived.” Bethany crossed her arms and yawned. “I didn’t see my brother here.
Did he go away with Bella and leave you behind?” “Bethany!” Zoe’s eyes were bloodshot, and she wanted to pounce on Bethany and tear her mouth apart.
“Oh, Zoe. That’s just how my brother is. You’ll get used to it after you marry him.” Bethany got more excited as she spoke. “When he was married to Bella, he kept thinking about Rosalind. That means after you marry into our family, he won’t let go of Bella. Men are all like that. They have a good wife at home, but their hearts still long for another woman. Bella spent three years adapting little by little. Since you like my brother so much, perhaps you’ll get used to it faster than Bella.” The crowd was stunned, and their mouths hung open.
The two ladies were quarreling for real.
If not for the elders present, Zoe would have attacked Bethany.
“Bethany! Are you so drunk? What nonsense are you spouting?” Shannon’s blood pressure rose as she yelled with embarrassment,” Bring Ms. Bethany away now!” “Justin! Let go! Let go of me!” Justin walked ahead of her while Bella struggled to follow. Her wrists were held painfully tight.
He seemed furious, or rather, he had been suppressing his anger for a long time. Now, he finally found a chance to vent at her!
“Where are you bringing me?” Bella asked angrily.
“You were my wife, and you lived here for three years. You are more familiar with every room in this house than I am. Where do you think I’m bringing you?” Justin did not look back as he forced each word out.
“Justin, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think you know me well?” Ghop777 Bella suddenly raised her wrist and bit hard at Justin’s wrist that was holding her.
“Tsk!” Justin felt a sting and subconsciously released her hand.
Bella quickly retreated a few steps and rubbed her reddened wrists. She glared at him with hatred. “I’ve never treated this place as my home. There was not a day that I felt a sense of belonging here. It has always been a cage to me!” However, this cage did not trap her body, but her heart.
Justin’s heart ached. Although he was mad at her, his heart still felt excruciating pain.
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly strode toward Bella. Taking advantage of her daze, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, grabbing her soft waist.
“Ah!” Bella yelped. The next second, he swept her off her feet, and she reflexively clutched his shirt.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 778-“Justin, you jerk! Don’t touch me! Put me down!” Bella immediately blushed. She wiggled around and kicked her legs in a struggle.
Her hands, clutching Justin’s shirt, turned into fists that kept punching his muscular chest. Although her hands were sore from the pounding, it was no different than a massage for Justin. He even enjoyed it!
“You wouldn’t listen to me, so I had no choice but to carry you up.” Justin lowered his gaze. He looked aloof, but his gaze concealed an intense affection for her.
He could not control it.
If he could, would it still be love?
“Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are? I won’t! I just won’t!” Bella was so embarrassed that she blushed and struggled harder.
eyes narrowed.
“You bastard!” Bella shivered and bit her lower lip in panic.
Justin curled his lips and suddenly let go of her.
“Ah!” Bella’s eyes fluttered shut, and she broke into a thin layer of sweat, her arms immediately wrapping around Justin’s neck.
Justin’s expression was still cold, but his dark eyes had a hint of softness.
Justin carried Bella up the stairs, leaving the group of people behind.
The Hoffman family was at a loss for what to do, but since they were already there, they had to settle the marriage. Otherwise, it would hurt their pride.
“Father, what should we do now?” Claire whispered into Logan’s ear with concern, “Look at Justin’s attitude. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to marry Zoe. He doesn’t even want to talk to us.” “Grandpa, are you going to stand by and watch me get bullied? I’m your granddaughter!” Zoe sobbed uncontrollably, looking pitiful.
After all, Logan was an experienced and powerful figure with a calm attitude. If it were any other ordinary man, they would have started to cuss the Salvador family out with vulgar words.
However, Logan could not take the disrespect.
“Chairman Salvador, is this how you’re going to handle this matter? My granddaughter’s reputation was ruined by your son, yet he’s still bickering with his ex-wife in front of us. Do you think we’re easy to mess with?” Chap In a fit of anger, Logan grabbed a coffee cup on the table and smashed it.
The bodyguards from the Hoffman family immediately surrounded them, as if they had gotten the signal. Shannon’s face turned pale from fright, and she hid behind Gregory.
In Savrow, everyone knew that the Hoffmans started off in the mafia.
The current situation seemed like they were about to fight with the Salvadors.
“Chairman Hoffman, what are you doing?” Gregory was infuriated as well. “Do you think you can step on our heads like this?” “Hmph, don’t worry. We live in a lawful society, and I’m tired of the violent days.” Logan’s eyes were gloomy. “I just want to tell you that Justin’s behavior has made me very mad tonight. When I get angry, nobody can predict what will happen next!” Gregory clenched his fists. He almost could not control his anger. Logan’s words were an outright threat!
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 779-The Hoffman family was one of the top ten conglomerates in the country, and they had businesses all over the continent.
Although they were not as prominent as the Thompson family, not ranking among the highest, they had always maintained a neutral stance. If the Hoffmans decided to work with the Salvadors’ nemesis, the Iverson family, it would be troublesome for the Salvadors.
“Grandpa, I only went away for a few days, and you’ve eagerly come. to find trouble with Uncle Greg’s family.” The imposing sound of leather shoes against the marble floor rang throughout the hall.
To everyone’s surprise, Ryan walked in, his face devilishly handsome.
Shannon’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing him. This man was her future son-in-law!
Just thinking about how the heir of the Hoffman Group would become her son-in-law made her happier than ever. Those noble ladies who looked down and neglected her would now have to fawn over her!
“Mr. Ryan!” The bodyguards bowed in unison.
“Ryan, why did you come here?” Logan’s expression sank.
“What else? I came to find Justin.” Ryan’s cold gaze swept across the Hoffmans, and the bodyguards were frightened into silence, all lowering their heads. “It’s a good thing I came. Otherwise, I would’ve missed this great show.” Actually, he got the news from his girlfriend, Carrie.
He was discussing a business project outside while Carrie watched a movie with Yasmin at home. She received a call from Linny, saying that Justin was in trouble. The Hoffmans came to force him into a marriage, making a fuss.
She was worried about her brother, so she contacted Ryan to help Justin.
Ryan never rejected a request from Carrie, not to mention that Justin was his best friend. He abandoned the business meeting and sped over.
“Great. Then ask your good friend to come down now!” Logan’s face was twisted with anger.
“I can’t do that.” Ryan also saw Bella’s car and knew she must be with Justin at the moment. He smiled in relief and said, “He is enjoying his time with. Bella. Why must I interrupt them and be the third wheel? I’m not doing.
such an annoying thing.” Zoe was so mad that she trembled all over, viciously glaring at her own brother..
When Ryan met her eyes, he felt a sting in his heart, feeling painful and bitter.
Zoe was his sister, whom he had carried in his arms since she was a baby. He had helped raise her. The way she stared coldly at him now Chap was like looking at her mortal enemy.
That innocent and pure girl, who used to cling to him, begging him to buy her dolls and ice cream, seemed to be gone.
“Enjoying their time together?!” Claire could not take it anymore. She asked anxiously, “Didn’t Bella divorce Justin a long time ago? How is that possible?” “Nothing is impossible in matters of the heart.” Ryan’s gaze hardened as he said, “Grandpa, in terms of family. background, talent, and appearance, Bella is better than Zoe in every aspect.” Logan choked, not knowing what to retort.
If he had not seen Bella before, he could still try to argue.
But thinking about the woman with indescribable elegance and unparalleled beauty, Logan could not bring himself to think that his granddaughter was better than Bella, “Are you sure you want Zoe to compete with Bella for a man? Disregarding whether this will offend the Thompsons, I reckon Justin won’t even spare Zoe a glance with a top-tier beauty like Bella in front of him.” Ryan sat naturally on the sofa, making himself at home.
“Ryan, you are Zoe’s brother. How can you say that about your sister?” Claire was infuriated. “If Justin is not interested in Zoe, why did that night happen? Could someone have pointed a gun at his head to force him to meet Zoe?” “Although no one pointed a gun at him, someone was feeding Zoe with ideas behind the scenes, coming up with a seamless plan to trick Justin into meeting her at the hotel.” Ryan crossed his legs looking at Zoe with a chilling gaze.
The crowd was stunned.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 780-Was Zoe manipulated by someone to do so? Could there be more the incident?
“Mr. Hoffman, is that true?!” Wilma patted her thigh indignantly and huffed. “I knew it! Our young master isn’t a lewd man. I watched him grow up. I don’t believe he’s a man who can’t control his desires and would lose his mind when he sees a woman! If he is, our young madam wouldn’t love him so much! There must be something fishy going on!” Claire shouted, “What do you mean? Are you saying that my daughter has no modesty and used dirty tricks to seduce Justin?” “I didn’t say that. It was all your words.” Wilma rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out.
Wilma had lived so many years without getting married or having children. Her only weakness was Justin, and she was not afraid of anyone else.
“You! You old bitch!” Claire clutched her hurting chest and glared at Shannon. “Mrs.
Salvador! Are all your household staff so rude as to speak to guests like this? Shouldn’t you take any action?!” “Oh, Mrs. Hoffman, you’ve seen how important Wilma is to Justin..
She even has a higher position than us. How would I dare to scold her?” Shannon acted as if she were helpless, but she found joy in watching Claire get humiliated.
(CHILY (7)
“Ryan! You don’t have evidence. How could you blame it on me?” Zoe trembled, appearing as if she were crying, but it was actually from anger.
“Who says I don’t?” Ryan narrowed his eyes. “I didn’t want to reveal what I found here because it would look ugly. But you dragged Grandpa into this. I can’t accept it.” Zoe’s heart skipped a beat.
The crowd also perked up their ears, listening attentively.
“I checked your call records before and after that day, even the call records for this month. If you were secretly dating Justin, how could you not make a single call to him? You didn’t even call him on the day of your so-called hotel date. Are you communicating telepathically?” Zoe blushed. “I…” “There’s more.” Ryan took out his phone as he spoke, his voice turning cold. “I took the driving recorder from your car and found this audio on the storage card. It was recorded the day you waited for Justin at the hotel.” He pressed the play button, and Zoe’s smug voice rang out clearly.
“I’ve made the arrangements according to your instructions. I will be waiting in the room you booked when the time comes. Justin will come to find me, right? Thank you for helping me. I will remember your favor and will definitely repay you in the future!” The crow was stunned.
Was it all a setup by Zoe?
Did someone pull strings behind the scenes, leading to their sec meeting in the hotel? Was it a trap?
However, who was the mastermind hiding behind Zoe and helping her set up this scheme?
After Gregory listened to it, his expression darkened.
“Zoe, what is this? Who were you talking to on the phone?” Claire asked shockingly.
“You edited it! This is not what happened!” Zoe’s face twisted in anger. She anxiously pointed at Ryan’s indifferent face and snarled, “Did Bella bribe you? Did she instruct you to edit this to slander me?!” Then she immediately put on an innocent act and sobbed into Logan’s arms. “Grandpa! How could Ryan do this to me? It’s too much!” Logan’s brows furrowed deeply as his gaze at Zoe became increasingly complex.
