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

Seeing that Brian had uncovered the news , Ariana feigned an innocent expression and said , Mr.

Lodge , I dont understand what youre implying .

How could I possibly predict the governments plans ? Theres no way I could have known about this in advance .

You didnt know ? Then whats this ? Brian tossed another newspaper onto the table in front of her and said Natural spring discovered in South Gleaston ! You didnt know about this either ? Really ? Ariana replied , acting surprised .

No way ! I just randomly bought a piece of land .

Am I going to be rich now ? Ariana Torrey ! Brians expression darkened even further .

Ariana , however , remained completely nonchalant , lounging in bed without moving an inch .

Finally , his patience wore thin and he said in a low voice , Lodge Co.

will take this land .

Ill have the contract sent to you just sign it .

Sorry , but I never said Id agree .

Seeing her unwillingness to cooperate , Brians tone grew colder .

You cant possibly be unaware of Lodge Cos plans for the hot spring development over the next six months , right ? How would I know about Lodge Cos future development plans ? Ariana replied in confusion .

Mr.

Lodge , just because this land might turn out to be valuable , doesnt mean you can just take it from me .

Im not taking anything from you .

Ill pay you what its worth .

Brian said coldly .

This project is massive- youre not able to handle it .

Taking the money and walking away is your best option .

Hearing this , Ariana almost laughed out loud .

He was as arrogant as ever .

But since he seemed so desperate for the land , she decided to have a little fun .

Raising an eyebrow , she asked , How much are you offering , then ? Ten times the amount , he replied .

You paid five billion for it Ill give you so billion .

The land will belong to Lodge Co.

Hearing his offer , Arianas heart filled with mockery .

Businessman to the core .

This piece of land had already been earmarked as a government supported development zone , with subsidies and incentives .

The discovery of a natural spring only increased its value exponentially .

At this point , the land was worth far more than 50 billion .

If she were to sell it now , it could easily fetch 100 billion for another buyer .

Brian was clearly banking on her lack of business acumen to try and cheat her out of the land .

Ariana , you must know the difference between Lodge Co.

and Torrey Co.

Just because youve taken control of Torrey Co.

doesnt mean youre capable of managing such a complex project .

If you keep this land , youll only end up losing money .

Taking my offer now is the smart move .

Brian leaned back on the sofa , his posture calm and confident , as though the negotiation was already in his favor .

Ariana , however , shook her head and sighed .

What a generous offer .

You almost have me tempted .

Seeing that she seemed to be coming around , Brian relaxed slightly .

Good .

As long as you understand , then just sign the contract .

Id love to sell it , but unfortunately , its out of my hands now .

What do you mean by that ? In response to his sharp question , Ariana looked him straight in the eye and replied earnestly , Because this morning , William had already taken over that piece of land .
