Chapter 410
When Ryan heard Zoe calling Carrie a dummy, he felt that she was being too harsh.
In his eyes, Zoe had always been an angel. Even if she was willful at times, he thought
that she was kind-hearted.
At this moment, Zoe’s scarlet eyes widened. She was extremely angry, as if he had a deep
hatred for Carrie.
Ryan thought, ‘Was it just because I was with Carrie last night?”
Over the years, Ryan had been with countless women, but Zoe had never been so
resistant. Why was she so hostile when he was nice to
Carrie?
“Ryan, you yelled at me because of that dummy!” Zoe was so frightened that her face
turned pale when Ryan glared at her with piercing eyes. She felt the chill and broke out in
a cold sweat.
“Carrie is not a dummy. I don’t want to hear this word from your mouth again. I’ll get really
mad if you do it again, Zoe.”
Ryan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sadness. “You might not remember this
because you were still young when Dad passed away. Mom was busy dealing with our
family’s affairs and had no energy to
take care of us. So I was always there to take care of you, feed you,

and play with you. I even changed your diapers. How could you say that I mistreated you
or didn’t care about you? I’ve never felt so
heartbroken hearing you say that.”
“Ryan…” Zoe was dumbfounded, and her voice was trembling.
“It’s not that I don’t care about you. We’re adults now, so the way I care about you has
changed, and you just don’t feel it.”
Ryan’s eyes suddenly darkened. “I don’t blame you for not
understanding that. But I just don’t understand why you are so hostile to Carrie. How did
she offend you?”
“I just don’t like her. She doesn’t deserve to be with my eldest
brother!” Zoe was so flustered by his question that she simply found an an excuse.
Ryan clenched his jaw. His eyes were stern and dark. “Zoe, you have no right to look down
on Carrie. She’s Justin’s sister, so her social status is no less than that of you and me.
Even if she had nothing and was born poor, no one can stop me from being with the
woman I
want.”
After saying what sounded like a confession, Ryan turned around and left.
Zoe stood there and gritted her teeth in anger.
A whole week passed since Ada Wang and KS World Hotel terminated
their contract.
This week, Steven sent people to closely monitor the members of the
planning team but found nothing.
“Ms. Bella, it’s been a week, but there’s been no progress. Do you. think that we’re
searching down the wrong path?”
Steven scratched his head in frustration. “Maybe there is no mole in
the team.”
“No one has contacted Xena Gordon?” Bella asked while playing games.
“No, everything is normal.”
“Haha, there should be something going on under all that normalcy. It seems that without
a show, the fish won’t take the bait.”
Bella hummed a little tune and killed the last zombie in the game. The bloody scene made
Steven close his eyes tightly. “Gather the members of the project team for an emergency
meeting now.
Π
Half an hour later, eight hotel staff who were previously responsible for planning Ada
Wang’s wedding came to the conferenc
time.
After everyone waited for about ten minutes, Bella opened
and walked in with a happy face.

Although the contract was terminated, her mood did not seem to be
affected in any way.
“Sorry for being late. I had to take care of some important business.”
Bella sat down at the head of the conference table with a smile. She
scanned the eight people and curled her red lips confidently. “I have reworked a new
wedding plan, so I’ll ask Ada Wang to ask her to
reconsider cooperating with us!”
Everyone was amazed and excited. “Really?! That’s great, Ms.
Thompson!”
Bella nodded with a smile as she continued to scan the faces of
these eight people.
At this moment, she noticed that one of the staff members, Henry, had a slightly stiff
expression, which intrigued her.
At this moment, Henry raised his hand and asked a question.
“Ms. Thompson, hasn’t Ada Wang already chosen Salvador Corporation? Now that it has
come to this point, can we still pry her
over?”
Bella clasped her fingers on the table, narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked with a faint
smile, “Oh? Has Ada already decided to work with Salvador Corporation? Where did you
hear of it? Why didn’t I hear such big news?”
