Justin saved Bella's life multiple times, but compared to the harm he brought her, those sacrifices he thought to be so great were nothing but dust in the wind.

"No... No!"

Zoe stubbornly denied it, her forehead full of cold sweat. "The hotel incident had nothing to do with that man!"

Bella smiled coldly, not pressing further.

That was because Zoe's guilty expression had already given her the answer.

"Bella, do you have anything else to ask her?" Ryan's gentle gaze turned towards Bella.

Bella shook her head lightly.

"Okay. Take her away." Ryan waved his hand.

Zoe's eyes widened. "Where are you taking me?"

"The police station."

Zoe felt as if she were struck by lightning. She stepped back madly, her voice sharp with anger. "Ryan! You played me! Didn't you say you'd let me go if I confessed?!" "Let you go? Did I say that? You imagined it yourself."

Ryan turned around and no longer looked at her, as if it were a ceremony of them breaking ties. "Zoe, I've said that I'll punish you if God doesn't. Nobody can stop me, including Grandfather."

Two bodyguards strode forward, each taking one of Zoe's arms and dragging her out. Her legs were weak and dragging on the floor, and her hair was messy. One of her high heels even fell off. She looked disheveled, like a witch about to be burned at the stakes in ancient times.

"Grandpa! Save me! Grandpa!"

However, even until Zoe was dragged out of the banquet hall, Logan did not act.

What else could he do?

His incompetent granddaughter had nearly ruined the respectable reputation he had built up over the decade! If he took her side in front of so many people, he would be shaming the Hoffman family.

After this earth-shattering drama, the people from the four prestigious families could not stay any longer. The Reeds could not continue the banquet and ended it hastily.

Wyatt did not give Justin any chance to explain himself. He forcefully pushed Bella into his car, locked the door, and drove toward Hatchbay immediately.

Asher gave his ride to Steven and Amelia. The couple headed towards Hatchbay as well, having the chance to talk on the way.

Moreover, Amelia was not in a good state now, and only Steven could soothe her inner trauma.

Asher stood in the parking lot alone, watching the Thompson family cars drive further away until they vanished from his sight.

Then, he reached his trembling hand into his suit's inner pocket and pulled out the crumpled medical report.

Asher read through it carefully again. With every word, he felt his heart contract with pain, as if pierced through by chilling knives. In the end, he could not hold it back. His tears stained the paper, blurring the cruel words.

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded in the silent parking lot.

Asher took a deep breath and quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes before he turned around slowly.

Justin stood a few steps away. The sadness in him rose like a tide in his eyes, silently overflowing and extinguishing the bright sparkle.
