Ryan was confused, not grasping what Justin meant at first.

“Justin, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“Mr. Hoffman! There’s a big problem!” Dean said, handing him the phone in a panic, his hands trembling.

“Someone… Someone posted a video of Young Madam having an episode online, and it’s going viral. It’s already been shared 200,000 times!”

Yasmin’s face instantly turned as pale as paper, and the crutch supporting her tumbled to the floor with a loud thud.

Ryan stared at the screen. His eyes turned red and widened in shock. His entire body tensed and trembled.

Justin’s enraged voice came through the phone, but Ryan’s mind was blank. The voice sounded like it was coming from somewhere far away.

“Why did Carrie have an episode? Who recorded the video, and who posted it online?! Didn’t you say you’d take good care of my sister? Didn’t you say you had people watching over her closely?! Ryan, what the hell is going on? Have you been so blinded by power that you’ve forgotten the woman you claim to care about the most?!”

Ryan felt his throat tighten, the taste of blood seeping onto his tongue.

“Say something! Are you going to play dumb now?!” Justin’s voice was hoarse with rage, shouting furiously.

Despite his resentment and anger, he just could not bring himself to utter the cruel words of asking them to break up.

Justin had been through this before. He believed that Ryan loved Carrie, just as he loved Bella. He understood the pain of separation all too well. It was like slowly tearing someone’s flesh every day, with blood that never stopped flowing and wounds that never healed.

But at this moment, Justin was also at a loss. Carrie and Bella were very different. Bella was a strong woman who could fight alongside him, with a wealthy background and a warm, happy family. She could afford to fight and was not afraid to lose.
