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 .
