Chapter 908 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• But Christopher seems so sure. Did he hear what happened, or did he witness it with his own eyes? Why would he dare defend Bella otherwise? "Ms. Hoffman, I'll ask you one more time." Christopher walked menacingly toward Zoe, his black eyes gleaming with a chill that made her shudder. "Did Bella really hit you?" Zoe's throat constricted as she said, "I..." Since everyone in this room is an adult, we must take responsibility for our words. Waiting until the proof is there in front of us is pointless. It will be too late to have regrets by then.
• The space was silent as everyone waited for Zoe's response. It had only been a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity of torment for her. Zoe ultimately caved in to Christopher's strong persuasion. It made no sense. She was so terrified of Christopher that she thought he was holding a knife to her throat. She had never been so terrified; not even Ryan or Justin had frightened her this much. "I... Bella and I had a minor argument. I collapsed on the ground earlier after losing my equilibrium and unintentionally breaking through the door. Zoe was afraid to bring up the smack. However, this remark was sufficient to restore Bella's innocence and start rumors. "Whoa! Did she really give herself a slap? How ruthless!"
• "You don't understand? She gave in to pressure from young Master Iverson. You heard her happiness before, didn't you? After all, she's just a young girl. When someone puts pressure on her, she becomes intimidated. Even if I died, I wouldn't confess if it were me. Let's check to see whether he has any proof." This is obviously slander and defamation. Will Zoe still be able to live with dignity in the future if the Thompson family won't let her go? Christopher assisted Bella with ease. However, Bella maintained her composure and showed no emotion, much less appreciation, for him. Wyatt was the one who nodded at Christopher, letting his brows drop and flashing that infrequent, approving smile.
