The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161 

Liam believed he deserved more than that. 

“Give me more time, Dad! I promise to do a good job. I have cleaned up many messes within the Hoffman Group throughout the years. Don’t you trust me?” Drenched in sweat, Liam tried to persuade Logan. 

“That’s enough. This is the end of the matter.” 

Logan furrowed his brows in annoyance. “I have not been paying Ryan much attention in the last few years. This will be a great trial for him. As Ryan’s uncle, shouldn’t you take him under your wing?” 

In other words, Liam should drop the matter. 

With the scales tipping in her family’s favor, Zoe struck while the iron/ was hot and stuck close to Logan. She said sweetly, “Grandpa, did you forget that we have one more way to fix the problem?” 

“What is it?” 

“Didn’t you say that you’d talk to Mr. Salvador about a wedding proposal with me at the horse track?” Zoe blinked bashfully. 

Claire was shocked. “Why are you bringing that up, Zoe?” 

“Wedding proposal? Ha, now isn’t the time or place to talk about that.” 

Liam sneered, “Your scandal at the horse racing event is still the talk of the town. Did you forget? I doubt any prestigious family, much less the Salvadors, would want your hand in marriage. Marrying you would 

be declaring war with the Thompsons.” 

Enraged, Zoe gave Liam the stink eye. 

Before she could refute him, Logan frowned and said solemnly, “The wedding has to go on.” 

That was a shocker. 

It was most wise to keep a low profile until the scandal died down. Yet, Logan was cooking something up. 

“If we could unite with the Salvadors through marriage, our shares would likely rise back up. This might also deter the troublemakers in the company from another uprising. Besides, Salvador Corporation needs something to show for it, especially after Shannon’s shocking behavior. The marriage alliance benefits them too. The partnership between Salvador Corporation and Journey Ventures is new and isn’t solid yet. If the marriage alliance is a success, that’s our ticket to befriend Journey Ventures too. The incident at the horse track won’t matter much anymore.” 

Convinced of his own idea, Logan grew enthusiastic, and his eyes 

sparkled. 

Zoe expressed shyness as joy washed over her. 

Liam said, “Dad, that proposal has crossed my mind, but the marriage alliance won’t work unless both parties are on board. You saw how much Justin loves Bella. She’s the only woman for him. Since Grant doesn’t get involved in the business, Gregory won’t want to be on Justin’s bad books to keep a cushy lifestyle. There is no way Zoe will 

become the president’s wife unless Justin says so.” 

Liam had a point. 

Logan grew grim. “That’s true. This is tricky.” 

“Justin is lovestruck with Bella. He won’t accept another woman 

unless Bella suddenly dies or something.” Liam clicked his tongue while shaking his head. 

As a man, Liam could read Justin like a book. 

He had seen the same deep sentiment in the way Ryan looked at 

Carrie. 

As a dark cloud hung over the family, Zoe’s phone rang.
