Bella returned to the villa with Steven after making sure that Carrie was alright.
Along the way, she repeatedly replayed the scene of Justin wiping her hair in her head.
Her heart shrank, and her mouth felt dry..
–“Sorry, it’s my first time doing this. I don’t have much experience…”

Bella thought, ‘Bullshit! He’s been with Rosalind for many years. Even if they had not slept
together, they’d probably done everything
couple has done. Why is he pretending to be innocent with me? He’s
best friends with Ryan, so they must be the same kind of people.’
When she got home, Bella kicked off her high heels and did not ish
back upstairs. Instead, she sat on the sofa with a gloomy e
Steven warmed up a glass of milk and brought it over to her wit concern in his eyes. “Ms.
Bella, it’s already midnight. You should
to bed after drinking this.”
“How did Carrie and Ryan meet tonight? Carrie has always stayed at
home, closely watched by the Salvador family. What’s going on?” Bella was not at all
sleepy. She was just worried about Carrie.

“I asked Ryan, but he said that he didn’t know why Ms. Carrie showed up at his club. But
he said that she was nervously looking for something. If he had not met her, she would’ve
been in trouble.”
Bella frowned in confusion. “Looking for something? What is it?”
“A teddy bear that you gave her.”
Bella’s breath hitched. She clenched her fingers. “How did the teddy 1 gave to Carrie end
up in ACE?”
“I asked him if there was anything unusual about ACE tonight, and he said no. But he
accidentally mentioned his sister, Ms. Zoe.” Steven was a lawyer and was very good at
subtly digging out information.
“Oh, I understand.”
Bella raised her eyebrows. Although she was there at the time, she could already imagine
the full story. “Bethany’s old habits must be acting up again! How dare she bully Carrie?! I
think she needs to be taught a lesson!”
Steven was stunned.
“I will definitely avenge Carrie!”

Justin kicked Ryan home. It was already past midnight by the time Ryan got home.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and thought about kissing Carrie.
“I’m such a monster!”
Ryan cursed himself and closed his eyes tightly. Finally, he got up and
went to the bathroom to take a 20-minute cold shower before his
body felt normal again.
He only fell asleep when it was dawn.
Ryan slept until the afternoon of the next day.

After he got dressed and walked out of his room, Zoe’s pretty and resentful face appeared
in front of him.
“Ryan, you have gone too far!”
“Too far? Just because I told you not to go to ACE and hang out with Bethany?”
Ryan raised his hand to touch the top of Zoe’s head and clicked her tongue. “Zoe, why are
you becoming less sensible as you get older? You can’t even tell good from bad.”
“Don’t touch me with the hand you touched Carrie with. I think it’s
dirty!”
Zoe knocked his hand off and blurted out Carrie’s resentment in front
of her eldest brother.

Ryan’s eyes widened as he looked at his sister in disbelief.
Zoe felt embarrassed being dragged away from ACE last night, so she
was resentful and vented her dissatisfaction. I just hate Carrie! Ryan,
you’re my big brother. How can you share your love with her?!”
“Zoe, what are you talking about?” Ryan frowned.
“You turned the whole club upside down just to find a rag toy for her!”
The more Zoe yelled, the more hysterical she became. She was. stamping her feet in
anger, making the servants passing by look at her weirdly, but no one dared to take
another look.
“I’m your biological sister! When have you ever cared so much about
ever
me? You always appease me with money. But now you’re so
considerate of that fool. Ryan, what are you doing with your
conscience ?! How many years have I been studying abroad? Once I come back, you’re
with that dummy!”
“Zoe, Carrie is not a dummy. I won’t allow you to badmouth her like that.” Ryan glared at
Zoe and scolded her.
