A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 119 Torrey Co.

really was in crisis , but its network and supply chain were well established .

Otherwise , why would Brian agree to marry her ? It was all for the decades old Torrey brand , plus the skilled employees and those extensive connections .

Madam Mackle , Im not yet part of the Lodge family .

My father left Torrey Co.

to me .

Igor is just a lazy bum with no real skills .

If I handed the company to him , Id be letting my father down .

Ariana , you … Madam Mackle , my mind is made up , Ariana said calmly .

I can live here at the Lodge residence , but I absolutely will not hand the company over to Igor and Gwer .

You ! When did you become so disobedient ? Belinda was clearly unhappy .

In the past , Ariana hadnt shown any interest in her family business , Now , she was acting like a completely different person .

Madam Mackle , if theres nothing else , I need to go upstairs and take care of some Torrey Co.

matters .

With that , Ariana headed upstairs .

Belinda frowned as she watched Ariana grow more and more defiant ..

Upstairs , Ariana opened the file Miranda had sent her .

The tile contained the contract for the land she had just acquired in the South Gleaston suburbs .

Seeing the contract , Arianas lips curled into a smile .

She finally got her hands on that piece of land .

Ariana remembered it clearly .

Not long after that suburban lot was auctioned off , a government policy encouraging suburban redevelopment was introduced .

It qualified for a grant , and a natural hot spring was later discovered there .

It turned out to be Gleastons largest stretch of wild hot springs , famous for their healing properties .

That made its value skyrocket dozens of times over .

In her previous life , a minor renovation of that area brought in more than 100 million a year in pure profit .

Within three years , Torrey Co.

would recoup its entire investment .

This deal was guaranteed to make profits .

Meanwhile , Brian was having a drink at Nyte Club .

Mr.

Lodge , whats going on ? Why are you here drinking alone at my place so late ? Isaac was puzzled to see Brian drinking in a private room .

Brian usually hated these bar hopping scenes and only ever came by for business reasons .

Seeing him show up on his own was unusual .

Oh ! I get it .

It must be because business has been rough lately .

Just think about it .

First , you lost four billion when Curtis Torrey blindsided you and then Curtis stole Liam as a partner .

You really have had some bad luck this year .

Hearing Isaacs words only made Brian feel more irritated .

Bad luck ? 57/2 Chapter 119 +25 BONUS Brian couldnt help but recall how Ariana had once warned him he would be jinxed with bad luck .

Could she really be such a curse ? Brian ! Im talking to you ! Just then , Brians phone rang .

When he saw it was Evelyn calling , he frowned .

Unlike before , he didnt pick up right away .

Instead , he muted the call .

Isaac sensed some gossip .

So , did you have a fight with Evelyn ? It has nothing to do with her .

Then who is it about ? Dont tell me … Its Ariana ?
