The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Ryan lowered his eyes, spinning the pen of power between his slender fingers.

The others glanced at Mrs. Hoffman's outburst, shaking their heads with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

"Zoe disappeared on her way to the hospital for treatment, and no one has seen her since then! You must have taken her!"

Mrs. Hoffman stormed up to Ryan. She slammed her hands on the table repeatedly, ignoring the presence of the board members.

"Ryan! Send my daughter back to me! Or else... I'll call a shareholders' meeting and kick you out of the Hoffman Group! Send Zoe back to me!"

Ryan stopped spinning the pen in his fingers. However, he did not lift his gaze to look at his distressed mother.

"Mrs. Hoffman, what are you doing?"

Unable to bear the scene any longer, a fellow director spoke up. "Ms. Hoffman might've disappeared because she jumped out of the car when the officers weren't looking. If you want to make a fuss, go to the police."

"Exactly. We're in the middle of a board meeting. You shouldn't bring up your trivial family matters here. It will damage the Hoffman Group's reputation."

"Trivial family matters?"

Mrs. Hoffman's eyes widened. She looked as if she was about to attack someone. "Is that all you can say about this matter? Are you heartless? If it were your child, would you still be so indifferent?!" The directors fell silent, shocked by her words.

The directors thought that Mrs. Hoffman, the matriarch of the Hoffman family, had never been so irrational when her husband was still alive. Being a young widow seemed to have driven her to the brink of madness.

As the key person behind Claire's outburst, Ryan finally spoke with calm authority.

"That's all for today. Meeting adjourned."

"Yes, Chairman Hoffman!"
