Chapter 1105
The arrival of the Reed family brought a slight shift to the ambiance. It was clear that Gregory and the Hoffman family members were welcoming toward them. With their wealth and status, there was no need for them to humble themselves. However, in comparison to how they behaved with others, one could say they were rather courteous.
Only Justin, resembling the status of a Greek god, sat with dignity beside Gregory, gazing intensely and affectionately at the person he
cared for.
In another corner of the room, Wyatt was deep in conversation with Bella, who appeared serious and focused without noticing Justin’s
piercing gaze.
His expression darkened suddenly when Christopher lifted his champagne glass and unintentionally blocked his line of sight. Christopher slowly turned to him, wearing a casual smirk as he raised his champagne glass in a moving toast.
Justin’s blood surged, making it hard for him to breathe. He tightened
his grip on his glass with rage.
Suddenly, the glass shattered in his hand, causing the champagne to spill all over him.
“Oh! Justin, your clothes are wet!”
All attention shifted towards Justin as Zoe quickly moved to his side. Much to everyone’s surprise, she kneeled in front of him and started
wiping the stains from Justin’s trousers with a handkerchief.
Everyone was stunned.
“Damn! Ms. Hoffman’s behavior is just outrageous!”
Logan’s and Claire’s faces turned livid. Liam watched his own niece being ridiculed, but instead of feeling embarrassed, he stood by and found amusement in the scene, unable to hold back a chuckle.
Ryan noticed his uncle’s actions, and his eyes darkened. But he had
no plans to intervene and stop Zoe.
As far as he was concerned, Justin should take advantage of this opportunity to let Zoe embarrass herself completely. It would teach her a valuable lesson that she would never forget. A reminder not to chase after men from prestigious families in the future!
“Ryan…” Carrie called out softly as she tugged gently at his sleeve.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Ryan asked gently as he lowered his gaze.
“I… I can’t explain it, but every time I see your second uncle, I feel a bit uneasy.” Carrie was simple-minded and would say whatever came to
her mind without any twists.
Even though she spoke softly, Liam still managed to catch fragments
of her words, causing his ears to prick up like antennas.
Ryan embraced his petite girlfriend and spoke loudly. “Then don’t stare at him. It’s not good for your eyes to look at filthy things too
much.”
Liam felt a surge of anger rise but couldn’t show it, fearing he would appear as though he was eavesdropping on the young couple.
Carrie quickly closed her eyes with an adorable little expression.
