The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

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.

“Oh, Bethany, you look so beautiful today! Oh, you brought a gift. That’s incredibly

thoughtful of you.” Zoe greeted Bethany at the door with a radiant smile. The two appeared as affectionate best friends, holding hands.

“Zoe! I’ve missed you so much! You look even prettier than the last time we met!” Bethany showered her with compliments, all while harboring her own ulterior motives.

Given Ryan’s affection for his younger sister, establishing a good relationship with Zoe would provide Bethany with a reason to frequently visit the Hoffmans.

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.

Bethany was truly quite cunning.

“A few days ago, I traveled around Europe and bought some souvenirs. I bought something for you and for Mrs. Hoffman. They’re not very valuable, so please don’t be disappointed.”

Zoe gazed at the mountain of luxurious gift boxes, a sly smile playing on her lips. “Is there a gift for my big brother in there?”

“Yes, there is… I was worried your big brother might not like it and wouldn’t accept it…” Bethany blushed, shyly lowering her head.

“Oh, look at you! How deep is your affection for him, blushing like a peach at the mere mention of him?”
