When Ariana said William had taken that plot of land , Brian abruptly stood up .
What did you just say ? Mr.
Lodge , Im just a woman .
What do I know about investing ? Besides , I didnt buy it .
Mr.
Kingsman did .
You already know I had no real power in the Torrey family back then .
Where would I have gotten five billion ? If you really want that land , you should talk to Mr.
Kingsman .
Maybe hell be willing to sell it to you .
Ariana put on an innocent look , but Brian heard no trace of goodwill in her words .
Ariana , are you kidding me ? You were the one who wanted that land .
Now youre just handing it over ? Mr.
Lodge , thats not entirely accurate .
Mr.
Kingsman was the one who paid for it at the time .
Now hes taking it back .
What can I say ? I have to let him have it .
She let out a sigh and continued , To tell you the truth , I do regret it .
Had I known this land would turn out so valuable , I wouldve bought it myself .
Now look , Im left with nothing .
You … Brian didnt know what to say to Ariana .
This huge windfall was essentially brushed aside and handed over to William .
Everyone knew the Kingsman family and the Lodge family were longtime enemies .
If William got his hands on that land , Lodge Co.s hot spring project for the second half of the year was sure to fail .
Ariana watched him storm off .
She even pretended to call after him , raising her voice toward the outside door .
Mr.
Lodge , youre leaving already ? Not going to stay a bit longer ? The only response was the loud slam of the door .
Seeing that Brian was gone , Ariana dropped the act .
She leaned back against the bed and closed her eyes to rest .
Luckily , Brian didnt know she had used all the money her father gave for her dowry to buy that suburban land in South Gleaston .
If he had known , he would have pressured the Torrey family to take it from her .
William , Im sorry for dragging you into this again to cover for me , she thought .
Meanwhile , William sneezed in the middle of his lecture at Glea College .
The students at their desks all stared at him .
He adjusted his glasses and said calmly , Lets continue .
Soon , the bell rang .
William checked his watch , then gathered up his lecture notes .
Class is dismissed .
With that , he left the classroom and went out into the corridor .
Two lines of secretaries and assistants from Kingsman Co.
were waiting .

As he walked , they quickly fell into step behind him .
Mr.
Kingsman , there are a few business collaborations that need your attention .
I have something else to handle first .
Well talk later .
Yes , Mr.
Kingsman .
William went to the meeting room , where several teachers were waiting for him .
When the dean saw him enter , he rushed forward .
Mr.
Kingsman ! 1/2 William raised a hand , not bothering with a greeting .
Aba Maddie Hicks and that campus violence incident , I support expulsion .
You dont have to explain your views to me .
I have other matters to attend to .
With that , William turned and left the meeting room .
The other teachers understood exactly what he meant .
None of them were foolish enough to go against him .
Since William had made his stance clear , the teachers began voicing their views .
