Chapter 318

Yet, Zoe was exceptionally close to Bethany, driven solely by a simple reason-Bethany was from the Salvador family.

In Zoe’s eyes, only individuals with such prestigious family backgrounds were worthy of her friendship.

Bethany intended to take a subtle approach to win Zoe’s favor. If Zoe were to speak highly of her to Ryan, she could swiftly ascend to the position of the young madam of the Hoffman family.
