Chapter 754
The scandal between Zoe and Justin continued to stir up a storm on
the internet.
Both the Hoffman and Salvador families sent their PR teams to
manage the scandal, but it had escalated beyond control. Although the trending topics
were removed, the rumors couldn’t be silenced.
When Claire saw the news, she dropped her phone in shock, lost her
footing, and tumbled down the stairs. Luckily, the carpet softened the
fall, but she was still injured.
Horrified, Ryan immediately rushed his mother to the hospital.
In the hospital room, Claire lay on the bed with an IV drip. She held
Ryan’s hand tightly, with tears in her eyes.
“Ryan, what should we do? Zoe is only 22 years old. How will she face
the world in the future? How will I face your grandfather and father?”
Claire said, unable to hold back her tears.
Ryan sat next to the bed. He tried bitterly to comfort her. “Mom, I
handle this.”

“How will you handle it?! There are photos and even videos of ther
Your sister is not married yet. Now that this scandal has blown up
will any man from a decent family still want to marry her?”
“Zoe is my sister. If anyone dares to speak ill of her, I’ll make them
regret it.” Ryan clenched his teeth, his eyes burning with anger.
“Public opinion can destroy one’s reputation! Twenty years ago, our
Chap 754
family could do as we pleased in Savrow, and not even the police
would intervene. Now, we live in a society governed by law. How can
you actually handle this?” Claire cried out, slamming her fists on the
bed with all her strength.
Ryan’s expression turned cold. The Hoffman family started off in the
underworld. Ryan’s grandfather, Logan Hoffman, had amassed hist initial wealth through
fights and schemes with his brothers. But as
the times changed, Logan cleaned up the family’s image, steering
them away from their criminal past.
When Ryan’s father took over as the CEO of the Hoffman Group, the company had mostly
shed its shady reputation and focused on legitimate business. However, traces of the
family’s old ways
remained.
This was a source of conflict between Ryan’s father and uncle. Ryan
felt that his father was too lenient and somewhat self-righteous. He
believed that if his father had been more assertive, the family’s power
would have long been in his hands. His cunning and ruthless uncle
wouldn’t have been able to be in control for so long.
“And what about your so-called good friend? The whole thing ed because of him, yet he
hasn’t come forward to say a word! D think he can just act like nothing happened?!” Claire
cried harde
almost fainting.
“Mom, please don’t speak of Justin like that. He’s not that type of guy!” Ryan fervently
defended his good friend.
“So many reporters captured this scene. How can he still deny it?!
“There must be a reason for this. Justin has never shown any interest
in Zoe, and he loves someone else. He would never hurt Zoe like that.” Ryan insisted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith tears in her eyes, Claire bitterly exclaimed, “Zoe is your sister! She’s been wronged,
but you’re defending an outsider!”
“Mom! I…”
“Now, there’s only one way to solve this. We have to make Justin take
responsibility for Zoe!”
Ryan’s expression darkened. “Take responsibility? What do you mean
by that?”
“I’ll get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. I’m going to propose an
arranged marriage for Zoe and Justin!”
“You can’t be serious! Even if you forced him, Justin wouldn’t marry
Zoe!” Ryan shot up from his seat, shouting in anger.
“It’s not up to him to decide.” Claire’s eyes turned cold, instantly
transforming from her usual frail appearance. “A man must take
responsibility for his actions! If he refuses to marry Zoe, he’ll be going
against our entire family. Even if I don’t take any action, do you thi
your grandfather will ignore this? Don’t think the Hoffman family
won’t intervene just because he’s Gregory Salvador’s son!”
