Chapter 757
Before Liam could finish speaking, Zoe burst into tears again and
cried out. “Grandpa… Uncle Liam… I can’t bear to show my face in public anymore! I’d rather die!”
“Don’t cry, my dear! Grandpa will definitely stand up for you!” Logan,
known for being an authoritarian, couldn’t contain his anger and
smashed a nearby teacup. “Justin wants to fool around and then
shirk responsibility, huh? He must be tired of living!”
“Ryan, is your mother also injured because of this? Is she in the hospital right now?”
Ryan’s throat tightened, rendering him speechless.
“Once your mother is discharged, the two of you are to go to the
Salvador family to propose marriage. If you don’t, I’ll take matters into
my own hands!”
“Grandpa! Calm down!” Ryan’s frustration boiled over. His eyes wer Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
ablaze with anger at the thought of Logan causing trouble with th
Salvador family.
“Ryan, if I recall correctly, you and Mr. Salvador are like brothers,
right?” Liam spoke casually, crossing his legs. “If Zoe marries Mr.
Salvador, it’ll bring both our families closer. I don’t understand why
you’re so against it.”

“It’s precisely because of my close relationship with Justin that I
understand him.” Ryan retorted coldly, his desperation evident.
Justin is in love with someone else-Bella Thompson, Wyatt
Thompson’s daughter.”
At the mention of Bella, the air in the room turned dense. Even Logan, the ruthless patriarch, showed a hint of fear in his eyes.
“Zoe, haven’t you confessed to Justin multiple times before? Haven’t
you
tried every means possible? Has it made a difference? Has Justin ever shown any interest in you?” Ryan confronted Zoe. His gaze was icy, and his voice was low and menacing.
Zoe shuddered. “Ryan… What are you talking about?”
“You’ve tried every trick in the book, yet Justin has never given you a second thought. How could he possibly agree to meet you in a hotel room? Zoe, do I need to spell it out for you like this? When will you ever learn?!” Ryan grew angrier as he spoke, the veins on his forehead
throbbing with anger.
He could tolerate Zoe’s arrogance and stubbornness, but not her
deceit and manipulation.
“Grandpa… Grandpa, look at what Ryan is accusing me of!” Zoe went all out, determined to play the victim. “I’m his biological sister
look at how he speaks of me. He thinks I’m just some slut who
seduces men! Yes, I do have feelings for Justin, but it takes tw
tango. If he really didn’t want me, then what happened that night
wouldn’t have…” Her voice trailed off, and her cheeks flushed as tea
welled up in her eyes.
The implications of her unfinished sentence were clear.
“Even if, as you claim, Justin has feelings for Bella, I doubt their
relationship will end well.”
Logan lightly patted Zoe’s head and gritted his teeth. “Since Zoe admires that Salvador boy, there’s nothing more to discuss. She’s my only granddaughter, and I will make sure she gets whatever she
wants!”
Zoe was in tears, but inside, she was thrilled.
“Grandpa!” Ryan clenched his fists with rage.
Liam chuckled. “If our family could form an alliance with the Salvador family, that would be great!” Liam stood up nonchalantly and bowed to Zoe. “Congratulations in advance, Zoe! I will present you with a generous gift when the time comes.”
