The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 1794

Carrie tried to part her pale lips. After a brief moment, she finally managed to speak. Her red and swollen eyes looked like dried-up, withered springs. "Ryan... Why did it take you so long to come...? Why did it take so long...?"

Every feeble question from her felt like a bullet piercing through Ryan's heart.

Guilt and pain overwhelmed him, engulfing his entire being. His lips quivered, yet he could not form a single coherent word.

"Something happened to Yasmin... Is Yasmin going to die?"

As Carrie recalled the images on the screen, her eyes widened in panic. Her frail body began to convulse in the man's arms.

Ryan was nearly scared out of his wits. Every breath he took felt like it was stabbing his chest.

"No... Yasmin will be fine! Carrie, I'll take you to the hospital now!"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Meanwhile, the board had no choice but to adjourn the meeting after the commotion.

Only the Hoffman father-son duo remained in the boardroom.

"Father, you saw it too, right? That girl from the Salvador family is definitely insane."

Face swollen from Ryan's beating, Liam still continued to sow discord, gritting his teeth angrily. "Letting such a woman into our family would be a disaster for generations! Everyone in Savrow will say that we're licking the Salvadors' boots, even accepting their mentally ill daughter as our daughter-in-law. Don't you think that's disgusting?"

Logan's expression remained stern, his lips pursed in disapproval.

His expressions indicated he agreed with his second son.

"Father, today's board meeting was an important one. Yet, Ryan left everyone here to look for that crazy girl! What does he think of the board? Does he even respect you? Do you think he deserves to be the CEO?" Liam complained resentfully.

Upon hearing that, Logan gave Liam a side-eye. "If Ryan isn't fit to be the CEO, do you think you are?"

Liam was at a loss for words.

"I'm your father. I know exactly what you're capable of. I may be old, but I'm not senile. I'd rather dig my own grave before letting the Hoffman Group fall into your hands!"

Liam's heart surged with a wave of anger.

Logan still favored his eldest son's family. It was hard enough to get rid of Finn, yet his son Ryan continued to stand in Liam's way.

Liam regretted having shown Ryan mercy. He should have gotten rid of Ryan when the boy was young. That way, there would not be all these endless troubles now.

Pulling himself together, Liam resolved that since he had no hope of becoming the CEO, he must completely destroy Ryan and Carrie's marriage.

That wolf cub took his power. So Liam wanted to take his beloved away from him. That would be fair and satisfying!

"Father, given the situation today, I don't think Ryan has any intention of giving up on the girl from the Salvador family,"

Liam's eyes were dark with malice. "You know how stubborn Ryan can be. If he insists on marrying her, we won't be able to change his mind."

"Perhaps we couldn't influence him before. But now, it seems we don't need to act at all."

Liam was confused. "What do you mean by that...?"

"If the video of Ms. Salvador's outburst gets out and creates a scandal, do you think Gregory, with that personality of his, would still agree to let his daughter marry into our family?" Logan let out a cold laugh. "By then, not only Gregory but even Ryan's best friend Justin won't stand by his side anymore."

Thrilled, Liam clapped his hands until they were red and quickly gave a thumbs up. "Ah... As the saying goes, the older, the wiser! I have so much more to learn from you, Father!"
