?Chapter 1753


    However, Jason was a person of dignity, so he chose not to argue with Ryan for now.


    But he took a mental note of this grudge, knowing that there would be a time he would "repay" Ryan in the future.


    "Carrie, let''s go," Ryan said, pulling Carrie close and turning away.


    "Carrie!" Jason called out with a smile to Carrie''s retreating figure. "I''ve just returned from Inalia not long ago. I''m nning to hold a ss reunion in a few days. Would you be able to attend?"


    Carrie closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath, trying hard to drive those unbearable memories out of her mind.


    Ryan''s hand on the young woman''s shoulder tensed visibly, and he said coldly, "Birds of a feather flock together. My wife belongs to a higher social circle. You are not worthy of existing in her world."


    Zoe and Jason stood stiffly in ce, their expressions strained.


    The arrival of Be and Justin instantly became the center of attention at the event. It was not their intention to steal the limelight, but their every move exuded an irresistible charm.


    Men could not help but nce at Be, while women cast their eyes on Justin. These two outstanding individuals, with their exceptional beauty, were like runway models, attracting the gaze of many.


    "Be, Ian just sent me a message saying some reporters have entered the Iverson family mansion," Justin whispered near her ear, his voice low and husky.


    "If they''ve managed to enter Iverson''s mansion, then they''re not on our side." Be furrowed her brows slightly, swirling the champagne in her delicate hand.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Would you like to find out where they''re from?" His eyes flickered slightly.


    "No need. The more reporters, the better. Isn''t this exactly what we wanted to see?" Be squinted her eyes yfully, elegantly taking a sip of champagne and leaving a faint lipstick mark on the rim of the ss.


    At that moment, Ryan and Carrie walked hand in hand into everyone''s sight.


    Some guests who were well-acquainted with the Hoffman family greeted him warmly. "Ryan, your girlfriend is truly beautiful!"


    "This is my wife," Ryan replied with gentle and affectionate eyes, ignoring the gazes of others as he took his wife''s hand and kissed her fingertips. "In my eyes, she is the most beautiful woman."


    Countless praises and admirations surrounded them.


    Normally, with Ryan by her side, Carrie should have felt a strong sense of security. But at this moment, all she could think of were the faces of Zoe and Jason, along with their gratingughter.


    Her face grew paler, and her body turned colder bit by bit.


    Although Lance deeply despised these unwee guests, he could not afford to offend them. After all, one represented the Salvador family and the Thompson family. Instead, he had to treat them with courtesy. Outsiders were unaware of the intricacies involved and might even think highly of the Iverson family. "Chairman Iverson, it''s about time for the family photo," Lance''s secretary reminded him from the side.


    Seeing that Christopher had not yet appeared, Lance became even more frustrated.


    "Dad, Christopher is really out of line and too full of himself. Personally attending to Be was one thing, but on such an important day, he''s been absent the entire evening. It''s just me and Coral here, running around. Doesn''t this seem unreasonable to you?"


    James found the right moment to criticize Christopher with a coldugh. "I think now that he''s be the CEO of thepany, he feels securely in control and doesn''t respect you at all..."


    Just then, the doors of the banquet hall suddenly swung open.
