Chapter 794
“Don’t worry, Zoe. This matter won’t end just like that. Mom has got your back.” Claire
reassured her daughter, a cold gleam flashing in
her eyes.
“But Ryan is in charge of everything at home now! Considering he has such a good
relationship with Justin and Bella, what can we possibly
do?”
Claire’s voice dripped with bitterness as she exclaimed, “If your big
brother thinks he can control who you love, then he shouldn’t even
dream about being together with that Salvador retard. With your grandfather backing us
up, he won’t dare to overlook the family’s
reputation. He will do everything possible to ensure you end up with
Justin. Mark my words. He will never allow Carrie to join the
Hoffmans!”
“Mom, Ryan has his guard up against us! Won’t he see through our
plans?”
Zoe’s eyes were red as she screamed in frustration. “He protects tha
little slut, Carrie, like she’s his own heart and soul. How are we

supposed to do something when he’s watching our every move?”
“There will be opportunities. Even if he’s fawning over Shannon’s silly
daughter, he can’t be with her every waking moment. There will be times when he’s
away.”
Claire was truly angry this time.
Normally, she would not bother with such matters. But after
witnessing her own daughter being bullied, and with her reputation at stake, she was
determined to remove all obstacles and ensure her daughter’s marriage with Justin!
At the same time, she also wanted to find a fitting match for Ryan, a daughter-in-law
worthy of their prestigious family.
It certainly wouldn’t be Shannon’s autistic daughter, Carrie.
Bella briskly walked, slipping into her sports car. She stepped on the gas and sped out of
Tideview Manor.
As her car turned out of the gate, her grip tightened on the steering
wheel.
Standing under the dim streetlights, Christopher leaned against his electric blue sports
car, looking elegant and graceful.
It was unclear how long he had been standing there or how long he had been waiting, yet
there was not a trace of impatience in his
expression.
Seeing Bella’s car appear, his eyes suddenly lit up with anticipation and he straightened
away from the sports car, his expression eager
as he waved at her like a giddy teenager.
The sports car screeched to a halt, stopping in front of the man.
Bella looked surprised as she stepped out of the car. “Why are you
here?”
“I was waiting for you,” Christopher replied, a faint smile tugging at
the corner of his lips. His gaze was soft.
She was even more puzzled now. “Waiting for me? Why were you
waiting for me?”
“I found out that your car was heading toward the Salvadors’ manor, so I followed you. I
didn’t mean anything else. I was worried that you would be bullied and would have no one
around to help.”
With a wry smile, Christopher added, “But it turns out I was being foolish. I couldn’t get in,
and even if I came, I wouldn’t be able to help you. But being able to see you now, my
efforts weren’t in vain.”
Bella blinked, feeling a mixture of emotions at his words.
She had always been independent and free, unwilling to be watched

or controlled by others.
The thought of someone investigating and silently following her
made her uncomfortable.
“I’m fine, just sorting out some personal matters,” Bella replied with a
forced smile. “The Salvador family isn’t dangerous. I mean, I lived
there for three years, coming and going as I pleased.”
‘Three long lonely years of marriage… Christopher felt a wave of
bitterness wash over him.
He was about to speak when his expression suddenly darkened. He
noticed Justin standing not too far away, his face blank and sad,
blending into the cold, lonely night.
Justin stood silently like a pale and cold sculpture, staring at Bella
without blinking, but Bella was completely oblivious.
“Chris, I…” Bella tried to speak when her vision suddenly blurred.
Before she could react, Christopher pulled her into his arms and

pressed her tightly against his chest
She could even feel his disordered and fiery breath. His arms wrapped around her slender
waist, and he slowly tightened his
embrace.
