Chapter 468
However, the insult came from Ryan’s beloved sister. Despite his
anger, Ryan did not have the heart to punish Zoe heavily.
The conflict gnawed at Ryan, leaving him lost and fragmented.
“Are you on your period? Why are you worked up?”
Justin flicked away the ashes, his eyes dark. “You’re not yourself. What’s the matter?”
Ryan sighed heavily. “The forged necklace Bethany gave to Ada was supplied by Zoe.”
Hiding his emotions behind his eyes, Justin fell silent.
Ryan asked, “Why don’t you seem surprised?”
Justin replied, “I guessed as much.”
Ryan felt upset. “Justin, my sister-”
“Since we’re talking about this, I should tell you one more thing.”
With downcast eyes, Justin took a puff. “Your sister was th vho

“The apology shouldn’t come from you, but from your sister. She
should apologize to my ex-wife.”

It hurt Justin to call Bella his ex-wife.
“Zoe is 22 now. I know I shouldn’t excuse her behavior as being too
young to know better-”
Ryan swallowed hard. “But we grew up with Zoe. She can be stubborn and willful.
Sometimes, she doesn’t think before she acts. But she means no harm. Bethany was a
bad influence on her, and I spoiled
her. I should have disciplined her.”
Justin kept to himself for a while before cutting to the chase. “So what are you going to do
about what your sister has done? How are
you going to make it up to Bella?”
Ryan’s breath hitched.
The man was always relentless and unforgiving, leaving no room for
others.
Even though Zoe was Ryan’s sister, Justin would not stand for Zoe
hurting his people.
“I’ll take her to apologize to Bella tomorrow.”
“Is that it?”
“Zoe is my sister, Justin. It’s her first offense. Can you let her off the
hook for my sake?” Ryan asked earnestly with a sad face.
“I’ll go with you tomorrow,” the man said indifferently.
“You… Why? I hope you don’t think that I’ll take my sister’s side and
give Bella problems. I will never do that.”
“No. I’m worried that you might get stabbed.” Justin got up.

“I haven’t seen her in a while. I want to see her.”
As his eyes flickered in tenderness, Justin made a beeline to the door.
“You have not answered my question, Justin.”
Ryan stopped him in a hurry. “We have been friends for a long time. Can we just move on
from this? I will get Zoe to apologize to Bella. On behalf of the Hoffman Group, I will offer
Bella compensation for
the loss she suffered due to the violation of her copyright.”
The man stopped for a moment. “Ryan, can you accept the vicious
attack on your sister if she was in Bella’s shoes? Will you let the whole thing go?”
Ryan had no words.
“We have been friends for over twenty years, so I will not go after Zoe
for what she did.”
Justin clenched his fists, his presence chilling.
“But that’s all the chance she gets.”
