In that instant, Justin felt that the situation was ridiculous.
He thought that even though Zoe had gone down the wrong path, she would still admit her fault when
confronted. He thought she would still have a trace of her childhood innocence. After all, she was his
best friendâs only sister.
But it turned out he had overestimated Zoeâs character.
She was only related to Ryan by blood, but she was nothing like Ryan in other aspects.
Zoe was corrupted. Perhaps she had been this way since the start, but Justin had a natural filter for her
because she was Ryanâs sister.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to show mercy for the sake of his best friend.
âZoe! What are you saying? Dying a miserable death? If anythin happened to you, how could I live on?â
Claire took out a handke and wiped her tears.
âZoe is my only granddaughter and the apple of my eye! We raised in luxury, and she has never
suffered. She was willing to curse herse to prove her innocence because of you. This just proves that
sheâs speaking the truth!â
Logan patted Zoeâs head while glaring at Justin. âAlthough Zoe is a little spoiled, she has never lied
before! Is Nigelâs grandson a coward who does not dare admit his doings?â
Justin narrowed his eyes. His fingers tightened into a grip, suppressing his burning anger.
âChairman Hoffman, your words are a little too harsh!â
In front of so many people, Gregory could not tolerate someone else insulting his son and even
involving his father. He had to maintain his pride. âFocus on the matter at hand! Just tell me what you
want. Both of our families are famous in Savrow. Itâs already unsightly for you to cause a stir at my
house tonight. Do you really want to make an enemy out of the Salvador family?â
Zoeâs eyes shone with a vicious light.
She dragged her grandfather along this time to use his influence to force Justin to marry her.
She did not want to have a fallout with the Salvador family. That would be a worse situation for her!
âChairman Salvador, I only have two reasonable requests.â
Loganâs expression darkened. âFirst, I want your son to apolog Zoe! He was the reason Zoe got
surrounded by reporters that almost ruining her reputation! I wanted you to hold a press conference,
but you are right about how our families are both influential and prominent. If it becomes a big deal,
your image will b tarnished. So, Iâll make do with a private apology from your son, and I wonât pursue
the matter further.â
The servants surrounding them could not bear to continue listening. All of them looked indignant. âHow
dare this old geezer dare to bully our young master! We should let the dogs out on this old geezer!â
âMr. Hoffman! What mistake did our young master make? Why should he apologize to Ms. Zoe? Arenât
you overstepping your boundaries?â
The crowd turned around, surprised to see Wilma walk out angrily, standing up for Justin.
Shannon hid behind Gregory. She was first stunned and then let out a sinister smile.
She had long disliked Wilma, that troublesome woman. Wilma had Justinâs support over the years and
did not even respect her.
Now that Wilma stood up for this bastard, there would be a good show!
âWilma, go back.â Justin was stunned and urged her in a low voice.
âYoung Master, I canât stand to see them bully you!â Wilmaâs eyes were teary.
She had been watching from the stairs for a long while, holding herself back. When she heard Logan
forcing Justin to apolo
Zoe, she could not take it anymore.
âChairman Salvador, Mrs. Salvador, how can a servant come out speak so arrogantly? Where are her
manners?â Claire sarcastica looked at Wilma.
