NovelOnlineRyan's heart skipped a beat as he stared at Gregory blankly.
His dry lips parted slightly, but he still did not know what to say after a long while.
Standing at the side, Justin's eyes flashed with surprise. After a brief silence, his thin lips curled up in relief.
“Yes, Chairman Salvador. I'll arrange it now!”
Paul smiled and wanted to leave, but Ryan stopped him. “No need for the trouble. | still have work waiting for me. Thank you for
your offer, Chairman Salvador.”
Gregory did not force it and nodded slightly, saying in a low voice, “So many things have happened in your family, and you had to
shoulder it yourself. It must be hard on you, but you can’t neglect your well-being. Carrie is my only daughter. If you can’t hold on,
her sky will collapse.”
Ryan's body, overwhelmed by exhaustion from the past few days and battered by the harsh reality, suddenly felt a surge of
warmth at this moment.
His heart tightened, and he looked steadily at Gregory. His voice was hoarse but determined as he said, “Please rest assured. For
Carrie's sake, I'll hold on no matter how hard it is.”
Justin held Ryan's shoulder as they walked toward the parking lot.
“Ryan, congratulations.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJustin's eyes curved as he smiled brightly. “It looks like Gregory's attitude toward you has softened. After this life-threatening
accident, he must have thought it through and doesn’t resent you as much anymore.”
Ryan's lips curled up slightly into a bitter smile. “Justin, thank you forforting me. But | know my place.”
Looking at his dim and flickering gaze, Justin felt sorrowful.
Ryan was carefree and spirited in the past, but now, facing his love for Carrie, he was full of guilt and inferiority, as if he could not
love someone passionately and boldly as he did before.
Looking at Ryan now, Justin thought of himself back when he was struggling in his relentless pursuit of Bella.
At this moment, he would be Ryan's support.
“Ryan, be more confident. You haven't wronged anyone.”
Justin patted his shoulder heavily. “Although Gregory could not meddle in your relationship with Carrie even as her father, Carrie
would be happier with his support. Besides, he would assist the Hoffman Group for the sake of his only daughter. Your future road
as the head of the Hoffman family would be smoother.
“However, quoting Bella's words, Gregory is extremely stubborn and cares too much about his pride. Even if he acknowledged you
deep down, he would not say anything. His behavior today was already unexpected. Don’t worry. You and Carrie have gone through
life and death together. There won't be anyone or anything that could separate you again.”
At this time, a series of casual yet steady footsteps walked toward them.
“Mr. Brown?”
“Drew?”
Drew's black trench coat made a rustling sound as the wind in the parking lot blew past him. His handsfeatures darkened with
a cold gleam.
“I was caught up at work, so | clate.”
Justin immediately shook his head. “You're not late.”
Drew stared at Ryan, who looked different now. His lashes fluttered as he went straight to the point. “Is there anything else | could
help you with?”
Ryan felt a surge of warmth. “Thanks. | can manage by myself.”
“Back then, when Justin's head was cracked open and he was hospitalized, do you remember what | said?”
Drew slightly raised his lips. “I said, from now on, you're not the only friend Justin has. Similarly, he’s not your only friend too.
Whenever necessary, you can utilize all the resources, including me.”
“Mr. Brown... Thank you.” Ryan's eyes reddened, and he thanked Drew softly.
“Ha, if you really want to thank me, callDrew.” Drew could not keep a straight face for more than three seconds, immediately
teasing again.
Ryan's voice choked. “Drew.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Tsk, it's no fun if you're so obedient.” Drew clicked his tongue, covering up his sadness.
“Mr. Hoffman!” Dean anxiously rushed over. “There's movement from Mrs. Hoffman! She bribed a prison doctor to tamper with
Zoe's medical report. The police have agreed to their request for medical parole, and she'll be released from the prison this
afternoon.”
“Got it.” This was clearly bad news, but Ryan was eerily calm. “Gather everyone who's still willing to work for me. If they're afraid
of taking on the risk, | won't force them.”
Justin vaguely sensed that he was about to do something dangerous. He frowned deeply and wanted to speak, but Drew saw
through him and smiled mischievously. “Hey, why so troublesome? | alone am enough.”
