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
