Chapter 626
Justin gripped Bella’s chin with his fingers and leaned down to kiss.
her.
Ryan and lan waited downstairs, feeling bored.
lan paced back and forth worriedly, glancing upstairs from time to
time.
Meanwhile, Ryan sat on the sofa, wearing a dark expression, as he watched the security footage over and over again on his phone.
He watched the footage of Zoe bullying Carrie again and again with a sick fascination.
Ryan got angry every time he watched it.
“What are you watching so intently, Mr. Hoffman?” lan shuffled closer
out of curiosity.
He had just moved closer when Ryan looked up and said coldly, “Go away. This is my family affairs.”
lan was intimidated by his sharp gaze and hurriedly retreated.
Ryan watched the recording one more time.
He watched as Zoe approached Carrie in the video, and Carrie reacted by curling up pitifully in fright, covering her head tightly with her arms. Her movements were so practiced that it made his heart ache beyond
measure.
Wait a second!
Ryan frowned, observing Carrie’s movements carefully.
Why did she look like she was having a PTSD reaction? Could she
have been constantly beaten at home in the past?
Did Carrie have such a fearful reaction when Zoe raised her hand
against her because Bethany used to hit her frequently?
Was that the case?
“When did you two get here? Why didn’t you guys let me know?”
Bella came downstairs and jumped in fright when she saw the two
men sitting quietly in the living room.
She hurriedly tried to calm her unsteady breathing.
Ryan put his phone away and flashed his teeth at Bella with a devious
smile. “Ah, we just didn’t want to intrude. You two get to meet so
rarely that we thought you should have more time to nurture your
feelings. We just didn’t want to be there disturbing you.”
“Nurture our feelings, my ass!”
Bella was so angry that she wished she could use her stiletto heel to
stab holes into Ryan’s mischievous, smiling face.
Ryan crossed his legs and turned to appraise Bella closely, propping
his chin on his hand.
He noticed that her lips were glossy and her cheeks were red with a
flush that had not yet receded, and the ever-so-experienced Mr.
Hoffman raised an eyebrow in interest. ‘My brother has done it, hasn’t
he? Wow, Justin looks really serious on the surface, but he’s just as horny as hell. What an asshole!’
