The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1196

Zoe thought to herself, 'I'll let Bella off the hook for now. In the future, there will definitely be another chance to embarrass that bitch so that no man will ever want her again.'

At the banquet hall, beautiful music filled the air along with the lovely scent of flowers. Elegant guests, celebrities, and aristocrats were gathered.

Justin didn't come with any of the Salvador family members. Instead, he arrived with Ryan, as if trying to avoid gossip.

"The Dynamic Duo" made quite an entrance, attracting numerous admirers.

Although Justin arrived without a date, those women didn't dare pursue him since they knew he was already taken. They were smart enough not to bring trouble upon themselves.

Who would even try to compete with the heiress of the Thompson family for a man? The problem was that they wouldn't stand a chance, even if they tried.

However, when those women looked at Ryan, it was a different situation altogether. Their gazes could easily be described as hungry or aggressive.

The relationship between Ryan and Carrie had only been publicly revealed once, on the day of the horse racing event. Thus, most people were still unaware of it. Therefore, Ryan remained the ultimate fantasy for the women of Savrow.

But in Ryan's eyes, there was no longer any allure from the female sex. These flirtatious women held no attraction for him compared to Justin by his side.

"You didn't bring Carrie along again? Have you fallen back into your old habits?" Justin gave a cold look with eyes as dark as ink. "You're sneaking around without Carrie again, trying to show off like a peacock and attract attention, huh?"

"Do I need to go to extreme lengths for you to change your attitude toward me?" Ryan's intense eyes blazed with anger. "Even prostitutes can turn over a new leaf, so why can't I?" Justin averted his gaze. "We'll have to wait and see."

"I attended an event last night, and those clueless women swarmed around me, seeking my company. I was ready to explode right there! If they weren't women, I would've punched them one by one!" Frustrated, Ryan took a deep breath and thought about his beloved girlfriend waiting at home. "Carrie doesn't enjoy these types of gatherings. She suffers from severe social anxiety and would be very uncomfortable. I didn't want to come either, but now that I'm stepping in for Liam and assisting Grandfather with the Hoffman Group's matters, I must be here tonight."

Justin smirked slightly. "That's good news coming from the delivery room."

"Huh?"

"You've been promoted. Congratulations in advance, President Hoffman."

Ryan suddenly froze, and a wave of joy surged in his heart. 'President Hoffman. What a pleasing title.'

Previously, both within the Hoffman family and to the general public, people only referred to him as "Young Master".

Ryan had always found it difficult to get close to the center of power. He had thought it would be a prolonged struggle, but he hadn't expected this day to come so soon.

"Hey, I haven't been formally appointed yet. I am just an interim president," Ryan said, feeling a bit embarrassed, but his eyes flickered with anticipation.

"You are the only eldest grandson. It's appropriate and inevitable for him to promote you," Justin said, patting his shoulder reassuringly.

"Ryan, I'm genuinely happy for you. Since you're stepping onto the right path, you should quickly divest yourself of those gray areas in your business. At the very least, don't let there be any more public entanglements. It will affect your future image within the Hoffman family and in public. Also, I don't want to worry about you every day. Take care of yourself, okay?"
