also cares deeply for Ms. Hoffman. You probably would react the
same way.”
All eyes were on them, and the members of the Hoffman family felt
deeply embarrassed beyond words.
Asher’s brief statement left them with no way out. Agreeing could
lead to a potential defamation case with the police. But if they
refused, it might seem as though they were hiding something and
that Zoe was falsely using Be.
“Haha! Oh my, it’s simply a misunderstanding !” Liam, who had been observing quietly from the sidelines, intervened at this point
with a smile in an attempt to ease the tension.
“Young people these days have disagreements that can easily
escte. It’s normal. We''ve all been young and reckless, haven’t we? Zoe is not inherently malicious. She’s just pampered by us
and tends to be impulsive when upset. That''s why she spoke without careful consideration in the heat of the moment.”
Liam continued, “Zoe is still young and doesn’t know any better.
We''ve known each other for many years. My older brother and
Chairman Thompson used to be close friends too. Zoe is my brother’s pride and joy. As you know his character well, his daughte
certainly couldn’tck any redeeming qualities.”
Wyatt listened to these words and felt his anger gradually dissipate.

Ryan and Zoe’s father, Finn Hoffman, was Wyatt’s junior and had a close rtionship with him.
When Finn died unexpectedly in a ne crash, it deeply saddened Wyatt, and he mourned for a long time.
If Finn Hoffman were still alive today, the Hoffman family’s dynamics would definitely be different. It was even possible that the
familypeting with the Salvador family would not be the Iverson family, but rather the Hoffman family. Ryan''s position within
the Hoffman family would also not feel as awkward as it does at the moment.
“Well, the horse racing event is an annual tradition, and everyone
should enjoy the festivities. My family doesn’t wish to spoil anyone’s enjoyment or draw attention to personal issues,” Wyatt said
while standing with his hands sped behind his back, projecting grace.
“Mr. Hoffman, your granddaughter should apologize to Be. With
that, we can consider this matter resolved.”
Zoe’s eyes burst with fury and were bloodshot with hatred. Having t
apologize to Be was more agonizing than scraping her bones with
a knife!
“Zoe, apologize to Ms. Thompson!” Logan said as he exhaled deeply,
his voice insistently cold.
Zoe clenched her teeth so tightly that she nearly crushed her jaw. Trembling, she gathered all of her strength and said, “I’m sorry,
it was my fault.”
Asmile, eerily sweet, appeared on Be’s lips. “It’s fine, as long as you acknowledge your mistake. | hope you won''t behave this
way again in the future. Your whims could tarnish someone''s reputation. After all, not everyone is able to stand up for
themselves, especially against the Hoffman family.”
Everyone was shocked.
Be was truly merciless, adding salt to the wound.
At this moment, two trending topics were gaining attention on Twitter.
