Though highly revered in the underworld, Ryan becsmall in the face of Drew. Plus, Drew was Bella's brother. There was no way Ryan would want to hurt him.
"I'm sorry... Mr. Hoffman. Yasmin heaved heavily and looked at Ryan, blaming herself for losing control of the situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRyan swallowed hard and shouted urgently, "Don't do anything rash. I'm sure the young heir of the Thompsons won't hit a woman." "So I should just stand here, take a beating like a man, and let her kill me?" Drew yawned nonchalantly. “Am I that stupid?” Ryan had nothing to say.
He knew Yasmin's loyalty lay with him. Yasmin would take drastic actions to punish those who were against Ryan. "But you're right. I don't hit women." Drew released his hold on Yasmin and looked up. "You should thank your lucky stars that you're a woman. Otherwise, I would've broken your arms.' "Bastard!" A proud individual like Yasmin could not take the humiliation lying down. With a menacing look, she pulled a punch, but Ryan stopped her.
"Stop it, Yasmin! He's Ms. Thompson's brother." Yasmin paused and pulled herself back.
Brother? The untamed man turned out to be Bella's brother and an heir of the Thompson family.
Drew cheekily stuck his tongue out at a dazed Yasmin before turning to Ryan. His gaze was piercing.
"Bella and Justin are here, right?" The room was a haven of tranquility.
Noticing the bruise on Justin's face, Bella cupped his face angrily and heart-wrenchingly. "Who did this to you? Tell me." "I fell when I was on my way to you." Justin smiled bitterly while putting his hands over hers. He caressed her hands gently. "As if you fell flat on your face. Are you that silly?" Bella was flushed with rage. “Did Wyatt and my brothers beat you up when you cto my place two days ago?" Justin explained, "No. Not at all..." "It was them! You served in the army. You would tie with Drewlin a fight doubt they could harm you unless you stood there and just took it." As her eyes welled up, Bella reached for his face but was afraid tohurt him. Of all the places to hit you, why your face? They're so mean." Justin's eyes reflected tenderness. The pain was the last thing on his mind.
However, Justin teared up with joy, sadness, and remorse because Bella cared so much about him. He grabbed her hand and refused to let her go. "That's not important, Bella. Nothing matters more than you being here with me." Justin felt a lump in his throat.

"Justin! Bella! Open the door!" Bella and Justin exchanged glances. "Carrie?" Justin picked Bella up from bed and helped her to the door. They swung the door open.
Panicked, Carrie still had buttercream on her cheek. "Justin! Bella! A bad guy has cto catch you." "A bad guy?" The couple was taken aback.
Drew emerged behind Carrie, his eyes exuding aloofness.
"Bella." "D-Drew..." Bella turned white and shouted, "Close the door, Justin!" Even though Justin prided himself on his composure, his mind went black at the sight of Drew.
Carrie snapped out of her trance and closed the door in a hurry.
