Justin replied, “Just curious.”
“Well, I didn’t do much. I just gave her face a little makeover. Heh.”

Ryan could not help but chuckle as he recalled the gruesome sight of Bethany’s torture in the
warehouse.
“Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why I hadn’t seen Bethanytely. I guess she must be too
embarrassed to show everyone her face.”
Justin nodded thoughtfully and then turned to Ryan with a serious expression. “Carrie has been staying
with you all this time. You haven’t harmed her in any way, right?
Ryan’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled holding Carrie’s delicate and soft bodyst night. He
suddenly felt flushed all over.
Just as Ryan struggled to respond,n ran over from the other end of
the corridor.
“M-Mr. Salvador! Ms. Thompson is here!”
Ryan widened his eyes and looked at Justin. Upon hearing that Be had arrived, Justin seemed
momentarily dazed. He asked again,”
Who’s here?”
“Ms. Thompson! Ms. Thompson! She’s in the banquet hall right now!”n eximed excitedly, unable
to contain his joy.
After all,n had not seen the Young Madam in quite a while.
Regardless of whether Justin missed her presence,n certainly did.
The overwhelming scent of sickeningly sweet perfume hit Justin like a wave, making him dizzy. He felt
the urge to shove Cecily away from him.
“Ah… I-I’m sorry, Mr. Salvador. I lost my bnce for a moment. I’m really sorry.” Cecily pressed her
hands against her chest, adopting a fragile demeanor, though she was thrilled inside.
No man could resist a woman throwing themselves into their arms, especially not such a beautiful
woman like her.
However, just as Cecily lifted her pitiful eyes to meet Justin’s gaze, she trembled in fear, feeling
goosebumps all over her body.
Those captivating eyes showed no emotion as they stared at her coldly, sending chills down her spine.
At this moment, Shannon and Bethany happened toe downstairs,
so they witnessed this scene.
Bethany had managed to fix her face, although it had not fully
recovered and required thickyers of makeup to conceal the scal
“Who is that woman who threw herself at Justin?” Shannon yawne
Justst night, Shannon had taken advantage of Gregory’s trip
abroad to have a rendezvous with that young, handsome doctor.
Youth, indeed, was a blessing.
After meeting that young doctor, Shannon felt she had regained her
youthful glow.
“Let’s see.”
Bethany ‘carefully examined the scene and racked her brain before recalling, “Oh, her name is Cecily.
She’s from the Thompson family.”
“She’s a Thompson? Since when did the Thompsons have such a little vixen?” Shannon felt annoyed
at the mention of the Thompson family and quicklybeled Cecily.
Well, indeed, birds of a feather flock together, and simr characters always recognize each other at
sight.
“She’s Wyatt Thompson’s niece. Her father is Wyatt Thompson’s younger brother, who only holds a
nominal position in the group and doesn’t have much real power. So, no matter how much she stirred
things up in the circle, she couldn’t really make a big deal out of it.”
Bethany disdainfully remarked, “I didn’t even recognize her at first nce. I heard she’s addicted to
getting cosmetic procedures done.
She probably went for another touch-up.”
Shannon could tell that this girl was not someone to mess with. She
could not help but ask, “How is her rtionship with Be?”
“Not great, from what I’ve heard.”
“Heh, that’s interesting.”
With another yawn, Shannon seemed unfazed by themotion. “Ah,
is that annoying girl from the Hoffman family not here today? It
would’ve been nice to see them stir something up together. Watching
such dramas is really invigorating.”
Bethany knew that Logan Hoffman had been making lots of efforts
behind the scenes to get Zoe to marry into their family. At such a
crucial moment, Zoe needed to maintain a low profile, which was why
she did not attend this event.
The thought of Zoe soon bing her sister-inw left Bethany feeling extremely distressed. It was so
bad that she had trouble
sleeping.
