Zoe smirked, and her eyes gleamed cunningly. "Of course, my dear Uncle!"

"Look, the board meeting is just around the corner, and your grandfather will officially appoint your brother as the Hoffman Group's CEO. Immediately after that, he will get engaged to that girl from the Salvador family. Pfft, your brother is about to have it all. He's going to have success in both his career and love life. It seems like our plan might be falling apart," Liam said, lighting a cigarette and taking lazy drags. "Who says the plan is falling apart? The show has just begun." Zoe scoffed.

"Well, my dear niece. What brilliant scheme do you have in mind?"

"I suddenly thought about this. What if we've been approaching this matter incorrectly since the beginning?"

Zoe leaned back against the headboard, then spoke sinisterly. "Ryan is tough to crack, so why don't we target Carrie instead? That stupid girl has always been a pushover. She has been like that since middle school. It would be easy to manipulate her. If I explain the current situation to her and make her understand the stakes, she'll definitely waver if she truly loves Ryan."

Liam grinned. "Explain the situation to her? My dear niece, you've made threats sound so nice."

"Oh, Uncle, as long as you get what I mean. The problem is..."

Zoe looked unsettled, "Ryan is protecting that little bitch a little too well. I don't have her contact information. Besides, I can't get close to her. Even if I have a plan, I can't execute it."

Liam's eyes lit up with a cunning idea. "That's easy. From now on, I'll have someone keep an eye on them. As soon as Carrie is out, they'll notify you. Ryan is extremely busy right now, and I don't think he'll be able to pay attention to her all the time. He's bound to slip up."

"Then, we have a deal, Uncle." Zoe's lips curled into a creepy smile.

As night fell, Ryan finished his work and eagerly returned to the love nest he shared with his sweet fiancee.

He had been utterly exhausted, but just the thought of Carrie waiting for him at home, with her adorable face, clear doe eyes, slender waist, and soft, enticing body, revitalized him.

He was full of energy once again.

Carrie was truly his source of strength.
