Chapter 793
Claire choked at her words, coughing violently.
Bella’s words cut through the tension like a knife. “You’re not even
half as sharp as Shannon, yet you dare to challenge me?”
“Bella! How dare you speak so rudely to my mother? You’re disrespecting your elders!”
Zoe’s voice trembled as she hid behind
Logan, using him as a shield while stirring up a commotion.
Justin furrowed his brows as Zoe’s words sank in, his expression
betraying his discontent.
“Just because someone is older, are they automatically labeled as an elder? If that’s the
case, then I’m your elder too. Is it appropriate for
you to raise your voice at your elders?” Bella towered over Zoe.
Her icy glare caused Zoe’s confidence to waver.
Zoe’s lips trembled, unable to retort. She dared not speak out anymore, afraid of what
would come out of Bella’s mouth next.
Claire knew Logan wouldn’t cause trouble for Wyatt’s daughter over
such a trivial matter, so she silently signaled to Ryan, urging him to
step in.

Ryan’s eyes darted with uncertainty as he cleared his throat softly.”
Um, Bella, I…”
Bella’s stare intensified as she turned her attention to him. Seeing the
sudden change in Bella’s demeanor, Ryan quickly changed his tone
and said, “I’ll drive you home. It’s not safe this late at night.”

“No need. I drove here myself.”
With that said, Bella didn’t even glance back as she briskly made her way out, with the
sharp click of her high heels echoing through the
villa.
Ryan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Logan let out an irritated snort, finding his grandson, who was known for being bold,
suddenly acting meek in front of Bella. It was utterly
humiliating!
“Let’s go!” The Hoffman family followed suit, rushing out of the villa.
“Ahh! My head… I feel so dizzy.” Shannon murmured weakly, leaning against Gregory for
support, as if she barely had any strength left.
Wilma shot an irritated glance at Shannon and muttered under her breath, “Geez, always
playing the victim. With all those acting skills, how did Madam Celeste outshine her for so
many years?”
Her every word reached Shannon’s ears. She was so angry that fumes
were coming out of her ears.
Gregory’s expression turned stiff and pale. After a moment of silence, he quietly
instructed, “Wilma, please assist Shannon back to her
room.”
“I’m sorry, Chairman Salvador, I’m only responsible for Young Master Justin’s needs. I need
to run the bath for him now. Perhaps someone else can help take care of Madam Shannon.
Besides, she might not want me to serve her either. It could make her feel
uncomfortable,” Wilma replied with a defeated tone before bowing and walking away.

Gregory only stood there in silence, his thoughts disarrayed.
Just like that, Justin was left standing there. His expression revealed
a mixture of reluctance and anger, as if he were abandoned.
“Justin! Why are you still standing here?” Ryan rushed over and pushed him urgently.
His face was filled with concern. “Bella’s about to leave. This is your chance to explain
everything that happened between you and my

Justin felt suffocated, as if there were a heavy stone crushing his
chest.
…
On their journey back, the Hoffmans rode in two cars, with Logan in
one and Claire and Zoe in the other.
Inside the second car, Claire was full of resentment. She had always
been shielded since she was young.
In her youth, she found solace in her husband’s protection. As
aged, she relied on the steadfast support of her son. When has s
ever faced such humiliation as tonight?
“Mom, Ryan publicly humiliated me in front of the Salvadors and
Grandpa!” Zoe recounted, her voice trembling with anger. “He’s
resorting to any means to stop me from marrying Justin!”
Zoe fell into Claire’s arms and cried bitterly, “He only cares about his
own happiness. He doesn’t care about my life or death at all! Does he still regard me as
his sister now? Am I an enemy in his eyes?
