Chapter 889: Chapter 889

Zoe Anne nodded politely toward Ryan Richard, but inside she couldn’t help wanting to gouge out the eyes he was recklessly scanning over her.

If he weren’t somewhat useful, she would never meet such a disgusting person.

"May I ask what Miss Anne wanted by inviting me here?" Ryan had indeed been puzzled when he received Zoe’s invitation.

After all, there had not been much interaction between them, except for the past cooperation between the Richard Corporation and the Anne Group.

"I heard that Mr. Richard’s ex-girlfriend used to be Charlotte Thompson?" Zoe directly asked.

Pausing his action of picking up food, Ryan looked up at Zoe, "Miss Anne seems to be very well-informed. But why would Miss Anne ask about this?"

"Since that’s the case, Charlotte must know a lot about her past, and I’m just curious why Mr. Richard would have been with the former Ms. Thompson?"

After all, back then Charlotte was just an insignificant young lady of the Allen family, whereas the Richard Corporation was considered a premier family.

For someone like Ryan Richard, a playboy, to actually fancy Charlotte was somewhat inconceivable.

However, Zoe had no idea that her words made Ryan think differently.

Zoe had taken the initiative to meet him and asked about his previous relationship with Charlotte.

Could it be that Zoe liked him?

Just as Charlotte had said, a man like Ryan Richard was not only scum but also gullible, especially after affirming his own thoughts, he even more felt irresistible.

"Is Miss Anne very interested?" Ryan rotated his eyeballs.

"Of course." Zoe curved her lips.

Maybe she really could extract some leverage against Charlotte from the fool before her.

Hearing this, Ryan propped up his cheeks, adopting what he thought was a handsome expression as he looked at Zoe and even raised his eyebrow at her.

However, this expression sent a chill through Zoe, though she continued to maintain a smile on her face without showing any reaction.

"Then what exactly does Miss Anne wish to know about me?"

Zoe was so disgusted by Ryan that she didn’t want to look at his face anymore and naturally hadn’t heard clearly what he had just said.

Upon hearing this, Ryan immediately perked up; he stood up and walked over to Zoe. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novęlfire.net

"I didn’t expect Miss Anne to be so eager," Ryan said with a sleazy smile, then placed his hand on the back of Zoe’s hand,

"But to understand everything about me, we need to take it slow."

Zoe was startled by Ryan’s action and quickly withdrew her hand, hesitating not at all to slap Ryan’s face.

When Zoe slapped him, Ryan was left somewhat stunned, but then thinking of Zoe, he soon felt justified again.

"It seems you don’t want to be with me either."

Zoe was thunderstruck by this statement and failed to respond at first.

What did this fool just say?

But Ryan felt that his remark had effectively silenced Zoe, and he spoke again coldly,

"Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss, Miss Anne. Impetuous girls are not my type, after all. If you truly like me and want to be with me, you need to temper that temper."

Finally understanding, Zoe erupted in fury and shouted to several bodyguards, "Grab him!"

Ryan was startled, "Zoe, what are you doing? This will make me even less likely to be with you..."
