Chapter 1135
“Yeah, Mr. Salvador. Can the Salvador Corporation’s president do whatever he wants without regard to the law? Be mindful of your words, or I'll sue you for slander!” Liam pointed at Justin’s expressionless face without an ounce of respect, relying on Logan's support.
Ryan hugged Carrie tightly, rubbing her shoulders, as all he thought of was protecting his girlfriend. He even rolled his eyes at Liam.
Someone from the Hoffman family was accusing others of disregarding the law. How ridiculous! “Justin, did you investigate clearly before saying something like this?”
Shannon happened to bump into this scene as Paul led her back. She immediately joined the group in chastising Justin, smoothly easing into her villainous role. “Our family has been friends with the Hoffman family for generations, and you're like a brother to Ryan. How could you make such accusations? It will hurt the harmony between our families. Ryan wouldn't feel good about it too, right?”
Ryan quickly made himself clear, unable to handle any more sarcastic words from Shannon. “Madam Shannon, I’m on the side of justice. If necessary, | can even sacrifice my family. Don’t take the opportunity to provoke my relationship with Justin!”
Shannon was speechless.
The Hoffman family members went quiet as well, their expressions dark.
“So, in your eyes, harmony and image are much more valuable than life, right?” Justin smiled coldly, his lips as sharp as a blade. “Ahem... | didn’t say that...”
“Because this man injured the horse Bella was riding, she fell off while the horse was galloping and nearly lost her life. Do you think | don’t deserve an explanation? Do you think | shouldn’t get my revenge?”
Justin’s reddened eyes surged with bone-chilling hatred, his trembling voice pausing at each word, nearly getting his teeth while his heart felt shattered in pain.
“No matter who the culprit is, | will make sure they die a horrible death. Don’t assume | will care about image or reputation. The only thing | care about...” Justin turned around, his deeply affectionate gaze staring at Bella without hesitation. “...is her.”
Bella's eyes turned red. She teared up as she met Justin’s deep gaz
At this moment, it was as if even her heart was surging with emotions.
“Fuck! He’s too cool!” Ryan cursed under his breath, feeling jealousy and admiration for his best friend. “Wow... Justin really loves Annie.” Carrie leaned her head on Ryan’s chest, relieved.
Carrie knew her mother hated Bella and was worried at first. ‘With
Justin here, Annie would not be bullied anymore.’
“| love you so much too, honey.” Ryan’s warm kiss landed on her cheek.
“| know. You say that every day, even my ears are callused listening to it.” Carrie's soft voice was coquettish.
“Carrie, believe me. | will be like your brother. Even if the world turns against us, | will never leave you, and | will protect you forever.” Ryan's affection was deep, and his eyes shone with sincerity.
Carrie lowered her eyes, pursing her lips as she kept silent.
Compared to being protected like a fragile flower, Carried hoped to help Ryan too. Even if she was clumsy and foolish, unable to do anything, she did not want to cause trouble for the man she loved most.
