Chapter 28 Congratulations on securing Goldfront Bay , Evelyn said with a smile , completely oblivious to Brians darkening expression .

Lodge Co.

will definitely make a fortune with at land Meanwhile , Atlana made no effort to conceal her pleased sirk as she clinked her champagne glass with Williams .

Brians eye twitched at the sight .

What should we do now , Mr.

Lodge ? Emily hadnt expected William to back out of the bidding so easily .

Just a few days ago , he had been determined to get that plece of land .

Why did he give up so easily ? What else can we do ? Brian snapped .

They could only accept the loss .

Brian rose from his seat , his usual smile replaced with a stormy expression .

Something was off .

This definitely had something to do with Ariana ! Brian ! Evelyn wanted to leave with him .

Panicked , she grabbed his arm , but Brian reflexively shook her hand off and said , Go home , Evelyn .

Surprised , Evelyn paused .

By the time she snapped out of it Brian had already left .

Hed never left her behind like this before .

Outside , Brians expression was dark as he coldly ordered , Bring Gwen Lambert to me at once ! Yes , sir .

An hour later , Gwen was shoved into Brians office by two bodyguards .

When she saw Brians dark expression , she blanched .

Mr.

Lodge , what ppened ? Did Ariana upset you again ? Drop the act ! Brian said coldly .

Whats the relationship between Ariana and William Kingsman ? What ? Ariana and William Kingsman ? There was nothing between them , as far as she knew ! Hastily , she said , If Ariana has been acting out of line lately , Ill go back and tell her off later .

Please dont be angry , Mr.

Lodge .

The Torrey family is completely committed to our alliance with the Lodge family ! Enough of your nonsense ! The Goldfront Bay land was a trap .

Did you tell Ariana to leak the information ? I didnt ! I really didnt ! I dont even know anything about Coldfront Bay .

This must be a misunderstanding , Mr.

Lodge ! A misunderstanding ? Brian scoffed .

Ariana sends you to me to smooth things over , then teams up with William Kingsman to trap me the next second .

Is that also a misunderstanding ? +25 BONUS Chapter 28 That foolish girl was just being reckless .

Dont worry , Mr.

Lodge , Ill get her to explain everything to you tomorrow .

William Kingsman may have some influence in this city , but theres no way he can surpass you .

Ill call her now and make her come home immediately ! Gwen said hurriedly , pulling out her phone .

Meanwhile , Ariana sat in a restaurant and stared at her ringing phone for a second before rejecting the call .

William sat across from her and said with interest , Youve helped me pull one over Brian today , which puts you squarely on my side .

Brian wont let you off so easily .

The enemy of my enemy is my friend , Mr.

Kingsman .

Lets hope well continue to work well together in the future .

Likewise They clinked their glasses together .

After downing her drink in one go , Ariana took out a card from her purse and slid it across the table to William .

Whats this ? The money for the land , Ariana said with a smile .

I was just bluffing during the auction .

Ill buy the land with my own money .

The land in South Gleaston is barely worth anything , anyway .

Consider it as a gift from me .

Besides , as far as I know , the Torrey family doesnt have that kind of cash right now .

Where did you get this money from ? Chapter
