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.
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.”
