Justin gripped Be’s chin with his fingers and leaned down to kiss.


    her.


    Ryan andn waited downstairs, feeling bored.


    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?”n shuffled closer


    out of curiosity.


    He had just moved closer when Ryan looked up and said coldly, “Go away. This is my family affairs.”


    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?”


    Be 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 shed his teeth at Be 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


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    feelings. We just didn’t want to be there disturbing you.”


    “Nurture our feelings, my ass!”


    Be 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 Be 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!’


    “Young Madam! You finally came! There’s hope for Mr. Salvador


    now!”n gazed at Be with stars in his eyes, smiling so widely that he was about to burst into tears.


    Be had no time to correct his form of address for her right now and said seriously, “Mr. Harris, Mr.


    Salvador’s high fever was caused by the recurrence of his internal injuries. It shouldn’t be neglected.


    I’ve just contacted one of the hospitals under KS Group that has high


    security and is better at maintaining patient’s privacy. I’ve also. contacted the doctor in charge. You and


    Mr. Hoffman should get ready to head over there now.”


    wouldn’t have just let him die!”


    “I wouldn’t have let him die, but that has nothing to do with whether or


    not I still have feelings for him. Don’t make such a far-fetched


    assumption.”


    Be’s tone was icy as she refused to allown’s assumption to


    stand.


    She walked down the stairs and walked up to Ryan with a cold gaze.


    Ryan’s heart trembled when he met her gaze, as he felt a strong chill.


    “Mr. Hoffman, let’s step aside to talk.”
