Ryan’s cold smile was sinister. “Even if Zoe wasn’t the mastermind, she’s an accomplice. Besides, we’re not sure if that mastermind really exists. Since we caught her now, she must take responsibility. Bring her away!”
“It’s not me! I didn’t plan this! I was used!” Zoe knew that she could not destroy Bella.
Zoe could no longer keep it a secret, panicked, and ran to Ryan. “Ryan… I know my mistakes now. I won’t do it in the future! But I am also a victim. Someone used me! He wants to ruin me… He might even aim to destroy the Hoffman Group!”
Two streaks of black mascara streamed down Zoe’s swollen and teary face. The crowd could not help but giggle when they saw it.
Zoe sobbed, reaching out her trembling hand to grab Ryan.
Ryan’s brow twitched, and he immediately stepped back, looking disgusted as if a bucket of dirty water was about to splash on him.
Zoe missed and fell on her knees with a thud, bowing deeply to everyone.
The marble floor nearly crushed her kneecaps, making her cry louder in pain.
“What happened? Speak up!” Ryan growled and glared at her.
“I… A few days ago, I received an anonymous call from a stranger.”
Justin frowned. “Can’t you recognize the voice?”
“He used a voice-changer, probably afraid that I’d recognize him.”
Zoe was afraid of taking the fall herself, so she confessed everything. “I know nothing about him, but he knew everything about me and all of you! He knew how desperate I was to marry Justin, so he took hold of my weakness and gave me Bella’s private information. He asked me to expose it at a suitable time…”
“Ha… Suitable time? You’re indeed good at picking the time.” Asher and the others were furious, wanting to give this bitch another few slaps.
