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.
