Chapter 363 That was a load of hot air. Zoe could not possibly acquire a jewelry piece that even an avid collector like Ada Wang had no access to. Though stunned by Zoe’s behavior, Bethany flattered her, “Wow, you’re amazing, Zoe! If you can get your hands on Alexa’s jewelry, I’m sure Ada will come back to us. We can get even with Bella, help Justin, and, while doing so, improve his perception of you. You’ll be Salvador Corporation’s hero, and Justin will be drawn closer to you.” Zoe smiled smugly and uttered, “So we should steal the case from Bella.” While Bethany echoed Zoe’s sentiment, she had other thoughts in mind. Text © 2024 Bethany did not want to help Justin, as they were not from the same mother. However, it was a chance to shine. If she ran the planning instead of Justin, she could show her dad that she was capable and make him proud, restoring her mother’s recent declining standing. Zoe was only a tool to get a leg up.

With that in mind, Bethany was thrilled, her eyes gleaming with desire and her cheeks flushed.. “Tonight was horrible. Justin left halfway, and my brother didn’t even show up when he said he would. What the hell? I’m not going to threw a tantrum. “Your brother came tonight, Zoe, but he left soon after,” Bethany said curtly. “When did that happen?” “You were playing the piano. He brought my sister, Carrie, along too. Ha. My sister is the belle of the ball because of Ryan,” Bethany said sarcastically with a smile. “Who? Your sister, the idiot?” Zoe was taken aback. She could not picture her brother and a dummy like Carrie together. She knew Carrie too well. Back in junior high, Zoe and Carrie studied at the same girls’ school in Savrow. They were also classmates.

“I’m already having problems before I marry into the Hoffman family, Zoe.” Bethany sighed in distress, her eyes chilling. “For all we know, your brother might be feeling something for my sister.” “What? Feel something? The idiot is not worth my brother’s time.” Zoe jolted to her feet furiously, spilling the drink on the table. Her eyes were bulging. Bethany smirked to herself but kept up with the sympathy act. “You didn’t see it tonight, but Ryan was sweet to my sister. He bought her a new dress and said she was the only one that he cared for. I was near to tears in envy Knowing him, Bethany believed Ryan was too much of a player to have feelings for Carrie. However, Bethany had to get Zoe fired up, seeking her help in dealing with Carrie, the bitch. Zoe’s anger subsided as Bethany described the incident. She sank back into her seat and sipped her wine in contemplation. The shadows under her eyes spoke of a darkness beyond her years. Ryan was her brother, and no one knew him better than her. Over the years, Ryan rarely showed interest in any woman. Bethany observed his special treatment of Carrie. That would not work for Zoe.

Zoe spearheaded the bullying of Carrie, making Carrie’s school years a hellish nightmare. Although many years had passed, Zoe doubted Carrie had gotten over 1. If there was a spark between Ryan and Carrie, Carrie might use him to get back at Zoe if her past caught up with her. It did not matter whether Ryan would marry Carrie, as he would just want Carrie to be happy. Zoe reflected for a long time. Gritting her teeth, Zoe said coldly, “Don’t worry. So long as I’m around, Carrie and my brother will never get together.” KS World Hotel’s VIP suite oozed luxury. A huge round table feature ten dishes, each a feast for the eyes and nose.
