Ryanâs furious outburst left a profound psychological impact on Zoe.
Zoeâs secretary and Adam were dealt with severely.
Ryan was ready to cut ties with Adam, who had been working for him for so many years. Judging by
the situation, it seemed like Adamâs
days were numbered.
âAll this drama is just for the sake of that foolish woman, Carrie. Did
his own biological sister not compare to that woman? What a joke!â
Zoe, brimming with resentment, returned to the Hoffman residence
after leaving the villa. Her face, as dark as a vengeful spirit, reflected
the turmoil within.
Along the way, memories of Ryanâs past affection for her kept
flooding her mind. The more she thought about it, the angrier she
became, shedding tears of frustration along the way.
In the end, Zoe came to a conclusion. Regardless of the means, she
was determined to make Ryan and Carrie break up. She could not
allow this fool to become her sister-in-law.
Back at home, Claire welcomed Zoe warmly.
âZoe! Youâre finally back!â exclaimed Claire, her eyes welling up with
tears of joy as she had not seen her daughter for a long time.
Claire rushed over to embrace her daughter. âMy dear daughter, didnât
your flight arrive earlier? Why did you take so long to come home? I
was starting to get worried!â
Chap 631
Zoeâs eyes teared up and turned red upon seeing her mother.
âMommyâ¦â Zoe cried. She could not help but think of the injustice.
she had endured.
âWhatâs wrong, my darling? You seem unhappy. Did someone bully. you?â Claire inquired with concern.
âAnd whereâs Ryan? Didnât he go to pick you up? Why isnât he back with you?â
Zoe lowered her eyes, a look of grievance on her face, as she shook
her head.
âRyan is unbelievable! He used to dote on you so much, but now,
because of that Salvador girl, he sends you off to Inalia without a
care. After finally coming back, he doesnât even bother to pick up his
sister! What on earth is he thinking?â Claire expressed her frustration.
Claire gently caressed her daughterâs cheeks. âThese days, Ryan
hasnât come home at all. I know heâs busy and has his own way of
doing things. In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would never
disappear like this without a word! He stopped coming home, and
now he doesnât even care about his own younger sister! I really donât
understand what he is thinking!â
âI know why Ryan isnât coming home,â Zoe admitted.
âWhat? You know?â Claire was taken aback.
Zoe clenched her fists, her voice turning grim. âMommy, Iâll tell you
something, but you must try to stay calm after hearing it.â
âWhat happened, Zoe? Donât scare me!â
âRyan is in a relationship with Shannonâs youngest daughter,â Zoe
revealed through gritted teeth.
âWho? Shannon Quarry? That wicked womanâs youngest daughter?!â Claire was genuinely shocked
and dumbfounded.
âYes, she is Bethanyâs younger sister. Shannonâs daughter!â
Zoe hugged her motherâs arm and shook it. âMommy! What on earth.
is Ryan thinking? Shannon and her daughter had caused us trouble in
the past, spewing nonsense and threatening to have me jailed! It hasnât been long since that incident,
and now Ryan is already in a
relationship with Carrie.â
Zoe continued, her voice filled with a mix of resentment and sadness.
âHow could he do this? He no longer considers me his sister!â
Claire felt uneasy when she heard this. She could not fathom why her
son, who had always been the pride of the family, would entangle
himself in such a complicated situation. Although the Salvadors were
a wealthy family and Ryan had a close friendship with Justin, Claire
still did not understand what Ryan was thinking.
Despite that, she tried to console her daughter. âZoe, even not fond of Shannonâs daughter, your
brotherâs temperam
known. He enjoys making friends. Most of the young ladies
prominent families in Savrow have some interaction with him.
has never brought a girl home, let alone someone who truly
captivated him. Heâs always hanging out with Justin and freque
visiting the Salvadors, so developing an interest in Carrie is
somewhat normal. I believe it wonât be long before your brother

realizes and moves on from the situation. Hasnât it been like this a
these years?â
âMommy, no! This time, itâs different!â
