"Asher... I'm sorry..." Bella leaned against her brother, whispering.

Asher's heart was filled with guilt and bitterness. He shook his head, hugging Bella tightly. "My princess, what are you saying? You did nothing wrong, and you did not let anyone down. It's me who has been neglectful... I've let you down."

Bella could only smile wryly, feeling helpless.

She was too naive.

She thought everything would be fine if she hid all the pain she endured. The man she loved would not need to bear the burden of guilt, and her family would not need to worry.

However, the moment the truth was exposed, everything she had worked for was in vain.

Asher hugged her tightly, his cold and sharp gaze pausing on Justin's ashen face for a second before looking away. "I've mobilized all the bodyguards in our family to surround this place. Before we resolve this matter, nobody from the Hoffman family will be able to leave."

His gaze was enough to shatter Justin's last glimmer of hope.

Justin's sins were unforgivable. Justin thought he loved Bella the most but never expected to hurt her to this extent.

Justin did not deserve Bella, nor did he deserve to have hope...

The crowd did not think much of it, wanting to stay to watch the show.

Only Logan panicked, pointing at Asher while shouting, "Asher! This is illegal detention! I can sue you!"

"Do as you will! But Zoe invaded Ms. Bella's privacy, obtaining her personal information through illegal means and revealing it to the public, causing an extremely negative impact! For these despicable and evil actions, the Thompson family can also sue her!"

Steven changed into a proper suit outside the door and walked in quickly, showing no signs of fatigue, as if he had not been injured at all.

Afraid of frightening the others, he simply covered his injured left eye with a piece of gauze. When he heard of what happened to Bella, he immediately rushed over without regard for his injuries.

He knew Justin would protect her, but he still wanted to do what was within his abilities.

Of course, Amelia fully supported his actions.

"Steve..." Bella's eyes flickered, choking up.

"Tsk, I didn't expect the Hoffman family's precious daughter to be so ignorant of the laws."

Another crisp voice sounded. Arnold slowly walked to Steven's side, curling his lips in disdain while looking at Zoe. "However, instead of calling you ignorant, it's more accurate to say that you're an idiot whose brain is full of shit. You thought you were in control of the situation, but you used the stupidest way to expose others' privacy. You not only revealed your despicable personality but also set yourself up. You're fucking dumb."

Asher frowned slightly, his pursed lips curling up.

Arnold had only returned to the country for a short time, but he's learned to speak quite vulgarly.

"In my opinion, we don't need to go through the trouble of a lawsuit. The surveillance cameras here must have recorded everything that happened, right? Someone must have taken a video of that scene as well. Once we post it online, Ms. Hoffman's reputation will be ruined. At that time, she's probably better off burying herself in a hole because the whole society will be looking down on her."

Wyatt was stunned. He did not expect Mila's nephew to be here, much less siding with the Thompson family.

Also, why was he so good at speaking? He had such a sharp tongue!

"You... Do you guys think the Hoffman family is an easy target you can toss around however you like?!"

Logan's eyes widened, and he slammed his crutch fiercely on the ground. "I want all the security members here! Even if we have to fight a way out, we must leave tonight!"

"Grandfather, are you getting old and confused, or are you too mad to remember?"

Ryan yawned lazily. "Have you forgotten? The Hoffman family's security team is under my command. Who would dare to move without my word?"
