Chapter 1147 Claire grumbled. “Aiden has always been cautious and reliable. Why did he act so recklessly this time? It caused such a big mess!” “Mom, perhaps Aiden just didn’t want the Thompson family to win and wanted to show them who's the boss,” Zoe said, gently stroking her mother’s back.
Her gaze turned dark and cold. “But how that things have gone wrong today, he only has himself to blame. Right now, Grandpa and Uncle Liam should just get rid of Aiden and make him take the blfor the Thompson family. We also need to firmly state that the Hoffman. family had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea. That should help solve the problem.” “It might not be that easy,” Claire said..
Despite being someone who kept to herself, Claire had keen insight- due to her prominent background. She shook her head in fration.

Our attitude toward Justin and Bella was so harsh. It like we've upset the public somehow. The public opinion storm definitely hit Hoffman Group’s stock price and reputation hard tomorrow. It’s bound to drop significantly. Your grandfather and Lia were working so hard to win over the Reeds before this happened, bu now things might becdifficult...
While Zoe looked concerned, deep down she couldn't help but feel somewhat pleased at the idea of the Hoffman Group's stock price plummeting. After all, it didn’t concern her much. Her father had left her and her mother enough money to last a lifetime, and her older brother owned numerous assets, including shares in the Hoffman Group, of which he could cash out a substantial amount.

Thud, thud, thud- The abrupt sound of knocking on the car window jolted her from her thoughts.
Zoe looked up to see Ryan's icy gaze.
“Zoe, please get out of the car,” Ryan instructed firmly.
“Ryan, she’s your sister. Can’t you be more gentle?” Claire voiced her displeasure for her daughter.

The siblings, in silent agreement not to let their mother over moved away from the car to talk.
“You've been hanging out with your autistic wife all this t with such a big incident at home, you're nowhere to be seen. Wh you doing here now?” Zoe glanced at Ryan while admiring her glamorous nails. “You should just keep your autistic wife company. she’s left alone for a moment, she might cry her eyes out.” “Zoe, watch your mouth.” Ryan's towering figure approached her, his narrow eyes flashing with angry coldness.
“You should be grateful that | still let you callbrother. If you continue this, from now on, you won't be any different from Bethany in my eyes. I'll treat you the sway | treated them. If you don’t believe me, give it a shot.” Zoe's heart skipped a beat, but she lifted her chin defiantly. “Do you have anything to say?” “I know it was your doing,” Ryan said with a chilling aura.
Zoe feigned innocence. “What do you mean? What are you talking about, my dear brother?” Ryan said as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “I know you ordered Aiden to do it. You don’t need to argue with me, Zoe. | know it was you.”
