The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

During his car ride, Ryan read the live news online and saw Ralph carrying a girl out of the school building.

Even though the girl's face was covered, he recognized the body frame to be Carrie's.

Ryan knew that Ralph was interested in Carrie, so he thought that Ralph had an ulterior motive to carry Carrie in his arms.

"I represent the cops. Is there a difference?" Ralph smirked composedly.

Ralph stood up against the Hoffman Group's employees on his own. Still, he persevered in the face of adversity.

Gritting his teeth, Ryan inched closer to Ralph. "Carrie is the love of my life. How could you keep this from me when her life hung in the balance? I couldn't be there for her. What was your intention? Must I rip off your façade for you to be real with me?"

"Are you silly or naïve, Ryan? Even if you have never been held hostage, you've watched movies with the same theme."

Ralph slipped his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket and scoffed with narrowed eyes. "So what if you were there? What could you have done?

"You would order your men to surround the perpetrator and tell him that the hostage was your woman. You'll probably threaten to bankrupt him for laying a finger on Carrie."

Ryan saw red. "Ralph!"
