    This bratty girl was setting her up!


    “Ms. Thompson, let’s talk about it another day, or perhaps you can


    Gregory noticed the tension between Be and Shannon, so he stood. out, trying to send Be away


    first. “As you can see, we have guests here, and it’s not very convenient for us.”


    Be’s smiling face immediately turned cold. She was about to speak when Justin grabbed her thin


    wrist and dragged her up the stairs with everyone watching. He did not give her a chance to resist!


    “What are you doing? Justin! Let me go!” Be blushed, trying her best


    to break free, but to no avail.


    Once this man had set his mind on something, there was no stopping


    him!


    “Oh!” Wilma covered her mouth as her eyes shone with excitement.


    Wilma thought, ‘Young Master is so dominant, and Young Madam looks so shy!’


    “Justin! Where are you going? Come back!”


    No matter how Gregory shouted, Justin did not nce back and


    quickly disappeared from the hall with Be.


    The Hoffmans were left hanging. With the male lead gone, the well- prepared stage seemed to have


    lost its direction, making the scene.


    awkward.


    Zoe, especially, had eyes red from hatred. Her expression was twisted with jealousy.


    She thought, ‘As long as that bitch appears, she immediately bes the spotlight, no matter where


    or who is around!’


    Zoe suddenly understood something at this moment.


    Her hatred for Be was not entirely because Be was her love rival.


    Zoe resented Be because she was jealous of thetter’s brilliance and pride.


    Zoe thought that there could only be one person who stood out in this world, and that was herself. She


    could not ept being overshadowed by someone else shining brighter than her!


    “Dad! Mom! I’m back!”


    Bethany rushed in, panting heavily.


    To greet the guests, she had changed into some decent new clothes, but she still looked haggard with


    dark circles under her eyes. She reeked of alcohol, and her face was pale with lipstick that was too red


    for her. She looked terrifying.


    Seeing her daughter’s ghostly state, Shannon felt so embarrassed that she wanted to press Bethany’s


    head into a toilet bowl to flush her makeup away.


    “Bethany, where did you go? Why do you smell like alcohol?” Gregory


    scrutinized her and frowned.


    “Oh… I was meeting with my friends, so we drank a little.” Bethany could not suppress herself and


    burped loudly.


    “Quick, take Ms. Bethany to her room to rest!” Shannon hurriedly


    ordered.


    “Oh, Zoe!”


    Taking advantage of her drunken state, Bethany ran to Zoe and giggled. “Congrattions! You’re about


    to marry my brother and be my sister-inw! After scheming for so long, you’ve finally gotten


    Rosalind out of the picture and chased Be away. You’ve finally gotten what you wanted! Haha!”


    Logan frowned deeply.


    ire’s and Zoe’s faces stiffened. Theirposure was about to


    shatter.


    “Bethany, what do you mean? Are you mocking me or just drunk?”


    Zoe was full of anger. After being provoked by Bethany, she blurted out, “I know what you’re thinking.


    You hold a grudge against me because you wanted to marry my brother and asked me for help, but I


    refused.”.
