Chapter 1098
Fortunately, Zoeâs opponent was Bella Thompson. If it had been
anyone else, that person would have been dead by now.
Although Asher appeared calm, his gaze darkened as he looked at Zoe. This made Zoe feel intimidated, and she promptly
sought
comfort by hiding behind Claire.
Celeste released Wyattâs arm and quickly approached Bella, holding her hand tightly. âBella, are you okay? Did you get hurt?â
The question made both Claire and Zoe visibly uneasy.
âI'm fine, Aunt Celeste. Please donât worry,â Bella reassured her gently, fearing she might get upset.
âBella, | trust that you would never resort to violence. Youâve always
been upright. We know that even if others doubt it,â Celeste said
sternly as she turned her piercing gaze toward Zoe.
Wyatt pursed his lips, his brows furrowing deeply, and his great his
daughter carried a complex mix of emotions.
He was not worried about Bella potentially hitting someone. | it, then there was nothing he could do. How many mischievou has

progress, and damage her reputation.
âMr. Hoffman, Mrs. Hoffman, do you have evidence that Bella was.
responsible for the violence? Accusations should be based on
evidence,â said an assertive voice that could not be ignored.
As everyone turned their heads, Christopher approached gracefully
with an unwavering gaze toward Bella.
Bellaâs gaze was intense and distant, devoid of warmth.
She did not hope for anyone to come to her aid. It was not necessary, and even if someone were to stand up for her, she would
wish it were Justin instead of Christopher.
Logan's e
expression turned serious as he inquired. âWhat do you mean
by that, Mr. Iverson? Are you implying that Zoe framed Ms.
Thompson?â
âWhether that is the case, we should ask Ms. Hoffman herself. A
single misunderstanding from her could potentially ruin herself,â Christopher replied calmly as he approached Bella. His
affectionate
gaze lingered on her as if there were no one else around, eli
murmurs of amazement from the onlookers.
âIt's no surprise that Mr. lverson has feelings for Ms. Thomps
There were already signs during the charity auction!â
âNo need to say it. He couldn't take his eyes off Ms. Thompson,
now heâs not even hesitating to offend the Hoffman family in order
support her. Does his behavior not speak for itself?â
â| wonder what Chairman Thompsonâs thoughts are. One is the

On the outside, Zoe appeared pitiful, but deep down, her heart was racing anxiously. She had checked that corridor, and there
were definitely no surveillance cameras!
