Chapter 464
The Hoffmans’ household staff gasped and covered their mouths in shock.
Knowing that Gregory would act in her favor, Shannon tried to push
the blame on the Hoffmans.
Everybody, including a wide-eyed Mrs. Hoffman, looked at Zoe in
unison.
“Is that true, Zoe?”
Zoe played it innocent and refuted Shannon’s accusations with furrowed brows. “I would never do such a thing, Mommy. Bethany
was the one who came up with the idea to give Ada Wang counterfeit
jewelry.”
Bethany was furious with Zoe for twisting the facts. She glared at
Zoe and shouted angrily, “You’re lying, Zoe! You suggested the idea to
help me win Ada over and defeat Bella in the process.”
“Bella? Are you talking about Bella Thompson? What does she have
to do with anything?” Mrs. Hoffman asked in surprise.
“I-” Speechless, Zoe broke out in a cold sweat.
Bethany, the pea brain, threw Bella’s name out. She must be
determined to end their friendship.
“Where do you think you are, Mrs. Salvador? This is not a place for
you to raise your voice.”

A chilling voice echoed through the room, startling Bethany.
Ryan approached from the main entrance with a smirk.
“I don’t have a problem with you embarrassing yourselves, but don’t
drag my family down with you.”
“Young Master Ryan!” The butler and other household staff greeted
him.
“Ryan!” Zoe’s eyes welled up as her hero came to save the day.
Ryan could not stand Bethany to begin with. Since Ryan adored his sister unconditionally, he would definitely take Zoe’s side, no
questions asked.
“You’re great friends with Justin, Ryan. Our families have a long-
standing relationship. How can you be disrespectful to me?” Shannon
was furious.
“Justin and I are buddies, and that’s between us. What does our
friendship have to do with you? You didn’t give birth to or raise
Justin.”
Tilting his head, Ryan smiled and added, “You have never been nurturing to Justin, so don’t use that on me now.”
It never occurred to Shannon that Ryan was so two-faced. He was courteous when he was at the Salvadors’ residence, but on his turf, he did not hide his contempt and disgust for her.
That was only because Gregory backed her up. Should one day
Gregory lose interest in her, Shannon would probably become a nobody in her social circle.
Shannon felt chills down her spine.
