The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2039

“Ryan?!”

Bella’s eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Ryan’s imposing and handsome face, her pupils shining like morning stars.

“Chairman Hoffman?!” Sasha, standing beside Bella, was also stunned.

Ever since Carrie’s incident, Ryan has devoted himself entirely to being by Carrie’s side. He paid no attention to either the underworld or the business world.

Except for attending Logan’s funeral, he had not made any public appearances, maintaining an extremely low profile.

This marked only the second time he had appeared since then.

The rebellious members of Southern Star, including Jordan, were visibly shaken when they saw Chairman Hoffman arrive. Some even took an involuntary step back in fear.

“Aunt Sasha, Bella.”

Ryan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he shrugged his broad shoulders, causing his black coat to slide off. Dean promptly caught it.

“Justin sent me here, saying there would be quite a spectacle here today. I’m someone who loves to join in the fun. Look, my good brother didn’t disappoint me.”

Gazing into Ryan’s intense, vibrant eyes, Bella bit down on her quivering lips, her eyes turning red.

It was a struggle for her to control her emotions and hold back the tears.

How long had it been since she had seen Ryan smile so carefreely? It felt like a lifetime ago…

The man who had once been the most arrogant and unruly in all of Savrow now seemed to have returned after enduring all the trials and hardships.

“Everyone here should know who I am, right?”

Ryan’s smile was enigmatic as he surveyed the crowd, finally fixing his cold gaze on Jordan.

“Though my grandfather is no longer here, and our Hoffman family is now engaged in legitimate business, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse.”

“Jordan, you’ve been with my dad longer than anyone else in Southern Star. You even held me as a child.” Sasha looked at Jordan’s tense, shaky back and sighed deeply, speaking sincerely. “The Southern Star Syndicate doesn’t belong to my father alone. It’s the result of everyone’s hard work.”

She continued, “As long as you’re willing to turn back and never touch those drugs again, my father and I will pretend nothing ever happened today.”

After a few seconds of silence, Jordan finally walked out of the conference room under everyone’s watchful eyes. Although he had left the Southern Star Syndicate, all the members chose to stay.

With both Bella and Ryan providing backup, none of the subordinates who harbored rebellious intentions dared to make a move.

After the meeting, Sasha was drenched in sweat, feeling like she had been skinned alive.

“Damn... I can finally understand Elias now. His life these past years has been so hard.”

Her voice trembled as she spoke, and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Aunt Sasha, don’t worry. Justin and I will find a way to save Mr. Storm.”
