Chapter 465: Chapter 465

Bethany said to Zoe, “You studied abroad in Inalia. Only you would have the resources and

connections to pull it off. If you’re going to deny it, why don’t we call Tyler right now and ask him?”

“Ask him?”

Zoe snapped back menacingly, “For you to suggest that, I can assume that you planned this. For all I

know, you might have bribed the man. You’re only trying to frame me.”

The women were at each other’s throats.

“Way to kill two birds with one stone, Ms. Hoffman.”

As arguing was not getting them anywhere, Shannon put the focus on Bella. “You used my daughter

against Bella. You saw our rivalry with the KS World Hotel as a chance to screw Bella over. If the plan

was a success, you would’ve gotten what you wanted. If it failed, you could just push the blame to

Bethany and get off unscathed. Haha… Bella turns out to be Alexa. Otherwise, you would have pulled

the whole thing off.”

With her heart in her throat, Zoe’s face flushed. “Mrs. Salvador, that’s a huge accusation to make.”

“Were you the one who plotted against Ms. Thompson, Zoe?” Mrs. Hoffman was taken aback.

Mrs. Hoffman was poor in health, and the bombshell dropped left her shaken. She held onto the

banister to keep herself from falling.

“Mommy, Ryan, I have nothing against Bella. Why would I have a problem with her?” Zoe stamped her

foot exasperatedly, like she would when she was little.

In the past, Ryan would fold to Zoe’s will every time she threw a tantrum.

No matter what she did, Ryan would console her and leave the issue in the past whenever she made a

fuss.

However, her heart was racing, and her knees were going weak because of the way Ryan was staring

at her now.

“Nothing against Bella? More like you have a huge problem with her.”

Bethany blurted out Zoe’s dark thoughts. “You like Justin, so you’re jealous of Bella, who is his ex-wife.

You can’t get over how Justin doesn’t give you any attention but gives the world to Bella. That’s the

reason you want to ruin her.”

“But you forgot one thing, Ms. Hoffman.”

Shannon sneered, “Bella is important to Justin and Ryan.

“If I remember correctly, Ryan once pursued Bella. Although he didn’t end up dating her, I doubt he

would allow anybody to pick on his crush.”

“Y-You!”

Zoe trembled, her hands clenching. “Don’t believe them, Ryan. It’s true that I have feelings for Justin,

but they are divorced. Why would I go after Bella? It’s not like I have nothing better to do.”

Ryan gasped to himself, his expression grimacing.

For some reason, he could not hear a word coming from his sister, despite her screaming.

As tension rose to an all-time high, Ryan’s secretary, Yasmin, rushed into the room.

“The cops are here, Young Master Ryan.”

While talking, Yasmin glanced at Bethany. “They must have been to the Salvadors’ home, but upon

learning that Ms. Bethany was here, they came over.”

“T-The police?” Bethany went weak in the knees.

Color drained from Shannon’s complexion as she clung to her daughter’s shaking arms.

“Ms. Bethany Salvador.”

The police officers in civilian clothes barged into the house. “We received a tip-off that you are linked to

KS World Hotel’s classified information being leaked out. We need your cooperation with the

investigation. Please come with us.”
