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 ?
