Chapter 465
Bethany said to Zoe, “You studied abroad in Inalia. Only you would
have the resources and connections to pull it off. If you’re going to
deny it, why don’t we call Tyler right now and ask him?”
“Ask him?”
Zoe snapped back menacingly, “For you to suggest that, I can
assume that you planned this. For all I know, you might have bribed
the man. You’re only trying to frame me.”
The women were at each other’s throats.
“Way to kill two birds with one stone, Ms. Hoffman.”
As arguing was not getting them anywhere, Shannon put the focus on Bella. “You used my
daughter against Bella. You saw our rivalry with
the KS World Hotel as a chance to screw Bella over. If the plan was a
success, you would’ve gotten what you wanted. If it failed, you could just push the blame
to Bethany and get off unscathed. Haha… Bella
turns out to be Alexa. Otherwise, you would have pulled the whole
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthing off.”
With her heart in her throat, Zoe’s face flushed. “Mrs. Salvador, that’s
a huge accusation to make.”
“Were you the one who plotted against Ms. Thompson, Zoe?” Mrs.
Hoffman was taken aback.
Mrs. Hoffman was poor in health, and the bombshell dropped left her shaken. She held
onto the banister to keep herself from falling.

“Mommy, Ryan, I have nothing against Bella. Why would I have a problem with her?” Zoe
stamped her foot exasperatedly, like she would when she was little.
In the past, Ryan would fold to Zoe’s will every time she threw a
tantrum.
No matter what she did, Ryan would console her and leave the issue in the past whenever
she made a fuss.
However, her heart was racing, and her knees were going weak because of the way Ryan
was staring at her now.
“Nothing against Bella? More like you have a huge problem with her.”
Bethany blurted out Zoe’s dark thoughts. “You like Justin, so you’re jealous of Bella, who is
his ex-wife. You can’t get over how Justin doesn’t give you any attention but gives the
world to Bella. That’s the
reason you want to ruin her.”
“But you forgot one thing, Ms. Hoffman.”
Shannon sneered, “Bella is important to Justin and Ryan.
“If I remember correctly, Ryan once pursued Bella. Although he didn’t
end up dating her, I doubt he would allow anybody to pick on his
crush.”
“Y-You!”
Zoe trembled, her hands clenching. “Don’t believe them, Ryan. It’s true that I have
feelings for Justin, but they are divorced. Why would I go
after Bella? It’s not like I have nothing better to do.”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyan gasped to himself, his expression grimacing.
For some reason, he could not hear a word coming from his sister,
despite her screaming.
As tension rose to an all-time high, Ryan’s secretary, Yasmin, rushed
into the room.
“The cops are here, Young Master Ryan.”
While talking, Yasmin glanced at Bethany. “They must have been to
the Salvadors’ home, but upon learning that Ms. Bethany was here,
they came over.”
“T-The police?” Bethany went weak in the knees.
Color drained from Shannon’s complexion as she clung to her
daughter’s shaking arms.
“Ms. Bethany Salvador.”
The police officers in civilian clothes barged into the house. “We received a tip-off that you
are linked to KS World Hotel’s classified
information being leaked out. We need your cooperation with the
investigation. Please come with us.”
