Chapter 467


    Zoe said to Ryan, “Even if you suck up to Be, she will never have eyes for you. You’ll never have


    her.”


    “Zoe Hoffman!”


    Ryan hissed Zoe’s full name, scaring thetter to hide in her mother’s arms.


    “Even if Be doesn’t be your sister-inw, you shouldn’t harm and insult her. I believe in Be’s


    character. While she may not be an angel, she wouldn’t harm anyone unless provoked. That means


    you most likely started it with her.”


    Zoe was livid.


    “One more thing. I would advise you to get over Justin. Anyone except


    Justin can tell that Be is the only woman for him.” Ryan scoffed.


    Being best buddies, Ryan had a subtle way of mocking Justin.


    Zoe’s face turned flushed.


    “You areing with me to see Be tomorrow. I expect you to admit your mistake and apologize to


    her.”


    Ryan then walked away.

    “Are you mad, Ryan? Why should I apologize to Be? I won’t!” Zoe was hysterical.


    “I’ll send you to Inalia tonight if you won’t. You won’t be allowed back in Savrow without my


    permission.”


    The intensity of Ryan’s resolve unnerved Mrs. Hoffman.


    Mrs. Hoffman had heard things about her son’s behavior, but the boy had never been so tough on his


    only sister.


    Was Ryan hard on Zoe because of Be, Justin’s ex-wife?


    “Ryan… Come back, Ryan!”


    Zoe cried at the top of her lungs in tears.


    Ryan, who always doted on her, never once looked back.

    That night, Ryan drowned his sorrows in ACE at his private lounge.


    His heart broke as his mind wandered back to Bethany’s usation of Zoe. The strong liquor burned


    down his throat.


    The door to the private lounge opened.


    “Damn it. I don’t need thepany of women. Get out now!”


    Irritated, Ryan raised the ss and smashed it to smithereens.


    “Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Salvador is here for you.”


    Yasmin let out an awkward smile, as if embarrassed for her bc made her way into the room.


    “Apologies, Mr. Salvador. Mr. Ho isn’t himself tonight. Please try to understand.”


    “That’s fine. I’m used to it.” Justin carried a nk face.


    “This way, please.”


    Justin nodded and stepped into the private lounge.


    Yasmin nodded and closed the door before leaving to give them space.


    “What has gotten into you now?”


    Furrowing his brows, Justin went to Ryan and sat beside him. “So


    Be turned you down. Must you act like your whole world has crumbled?”


    “Fuck me. Are you going to make fun of Be dumping me forever?” Ryan heaved. Since he did not


    have a ss anymore, he grabbed the alcohol and gulped straight from the bottle.


    “Dump? Ha,” Justin sneered.


    He fished out a pack of cigarettes and lodged one between his lips. Be has never epted you. How


    could she dump you? You’re the rebound guy, always there but never the first choice.”


    “Tsk. At least I’m still in the running while you’re out of the race.”


    It suddenly urred to Ryan that Zoe called Be a slut. As his chest tightened, he smashed the


    alcohol bottle with bloodshot eyes.


    If Zoe was not his sister, Ryan would have pped her for the insult to Be.
