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

Chapter 247 Fine ! You said it yourself .

Who needs your affection , anyway ? Brian turned to leave , but frustration gnawed at him .

He looked back at Ariana and said icily , There are plenty of women in Gleaston who want to marry me .

Its not like I cant live without you , Ariana .

I already knew that long ago .

Theres no need to tell me every single time .

Ariana rolled her eyes in her head .

He acted as though the whole world revolved around him .

Seeing how indifferent she was , Brians frustration only grew .

Finally , he stormed out of the room , slamming the door .

Outside , Emily had been waiting nervously , worried the two of them might come to blows .

Mr.

Lodge , about Ms.

Quinlan … Grandma likes Elise , right ? Then lets choose her , Brian said coldly .

Emily looked up at him in disbelief .

Choose Ms.

Quinlan ? But what about Ms.

Granger ? If Evelyn found out hed gotten engaged to someone else so soon , she surely wouldnt take it well Why so many questions ? Do as I say , Brian said impatiently .

Every time he spoke with Ariana , he ended up in a foul mood .

Could she really be cursing him somehow ? In her room , Ariana sighed in relief once he was gone .

Fortunately , she had been quick to hide the documents William had given her .

If Brian had seen them , it would have caused a huge mess .

Just then , there was a knock .

Martha spoke from outside the door .

Ms.

Torrey ? Its me .

Come in .

Ariana slipped on a robe .

Martha carried a small container of ointment .

Ms , Torrey , this is the medication Mr.

Lodge ordered for you .

He got it for me ? She eyed it warily .

Ariana opened the ointment and took a look .

Inside was a thick , white paste with no recognizable label .

Looks like something with no proper manufacturing info … Martha explained , I hear its a special formula Mr.

Lodge asked someone overseas to prepare just for your injuries .

It has lots of precious medicinal ingredients .

Ariana muttered , He really does burn money … This was the life of someone at the top .

Even medicines were custom made .

No wonder every debutante in Gleaston vied to become Brians fiancée .

Meanwhile , Brian had gone to his study .

Emily laid a folder of new information in front of him .

Mr Lodge , we investigated that suburban lot in South Gleaston .

It does belong to a newly opened subsidiary under Mr.

Kingsman .

A new subsidiary ? 3/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 247 Yes .

Warto Group , under Kingsman Co.

It recently went public using that suburban land project , and its off to a strong start .

Brian flipped through the file .

He noticed the CEOs name was Susan Smith .

He frowned .

Susan Smith … I havent heard of any such figure at Kingsman Co.

They say shes a high level returnee from overseas .

Shes rumored to have a doctorate in finance and keeps a low profile .

Mr.

Kingsman supposedly spent a fortune to hire her .

Word is , shes extremely capable .

Brian gave a derisive laugh .

Capable or not , William sure had been lucky this year .

William evaded Brians attempt to trap him at the auction , leaving Brian the one who got tricked .
