Zoe’s head spun from being hit, her vision turning black. She could only taste the metallic pang of blood in her mouth. Her ears hurt so much that she twitched, and she bared her teeth in pain.
In front of such excruciating pain, Zoe could not care less about managing her expression or maintaining her grace as a noble lady.
“Ah! My ears… My ears hurt so much!”
Zoe’s right face was slapped two times, a piercing buzzing ringing in her ear, causing her to yell out in pain!
“Zoe! My Zoe!”
Logan’s eyes widened in shock, shouting as he rushed to Zoe’s side tremblingly, not even bothering to take his crutches. He clumsily tried to help her up.
But how could Zoe have the strength? One could imagine how strong a slap from a big and muscular man like Ryan was.
Zoe collapsed on the ground and sobbed. “Grandpa… My ears hurt so much… Why can’t I hear in my right ear?”
“Zoe! What did you say?!” Logan’s face turned pale.
However, even with his loud voice and at such a close distance, only a faint, buzzing sound reached Zoe’s ears.
Zoe tremblingly stopped covering her right ear and opened her palm.
A few drops of blood appeared before her, scaring her. She sobbed. “My ear… I’m deaf!”
The secretaries and bodyguards rushed forward, shouting for doctors and ambulances. The scene was a total mess.
Ryan watched the Hoffman family members scrambling around, his eyes emotionless and calm, as if an invisible wall of ice stood between him and the Hoffmans.
Once upon a time, he took pride in being the eldest grandson of the Hoffman family.
