Chapter 282 Simon placed his half finished glass of whiskey on the table and stood up .
Goodnight and sweet dreams .
He left the study and closed the door behind him on the way out .
Victor stared at the half finished glass of whiskey on the desk .
After a brief silence , he picked it up and downed the rest in one go .
It was nearing midnight .
Isaac had finally finished all his tasks for the evening .
He glanced at Brian , who was glancing at his phone , and hesitated before asking , Youve been out of it all night .
Whats going on ? Brian snapped back to reality and placed his phone down with a hint of irritation .
Isaac knew Brian was always focused on work .
So , he quickly deduced that this had something to do with Ariana .
Its about Ms.
Torrey again , right ? Brian didnt respond , but his silence confirmed Isaacs guess .
So , it was about Ariana .
The Brian he knew had never been like this before .
Let me take another guess .
Youre upset because Ms.
Torrey hasnt texted you all day , right ? Isaac caught Brians shift in expression and knew he was right again .
Isaac smiled knowingly .
Just admit it , Brian .
Youve fallen for Ariana .
Brians face fell .
Me ? In love with Ariana ? What nonsense are you spouting ? This is not nonsense .
I have evidence to back it up ! Isaac grew serious .

Brian , when you like someone , you cant help but want to reach out to them to know whats going on with them .
Youve been checking your phone so many times tonight .
What else could you be hoping to see besides a message from Ariana ? I know youre a proud man , and you are holding yourself back from texting her first .
Thats why youre so frustrated .
Brians expression turned unpleasant from being read like an open book by Isaac .
Isaac continued , Ariana used to like you so much , and you didnt even spare her a glance .
Now that shes stopped chasing you , youve started liking her .
Isnt that pure … ! Before Isaac could finish his sentence , Brian shot him a glare that made him swallow his words .
Ariana is just a woman who will stop at nothing for money How could I possibly like someone like that ? Brian retorted .
Isaac shook his head at this .
If Ms.
Torrey was really after money and status , why would she cause a scene to cancel the engagement ? Mrs.
Lodge Senior liked her so much that her marrying , you was a given .
There was no need for her to do that .
Thats because she latched onto William and Victor .
She wants more than the title of being my wife .
She wants me … as a person .
Even Brian felt his reasoning was far fetched .
or the past few days , he had noticed Arianas dislike and even hostility toward him .
He didnt believe Ariana was after his heart .
Isaac wanted to call Brian delusional but quickly caught onto something important .
Ms.
Torrey would have to be an idiot to give up on being your wife and chase after William and Victor instead .
Lets set aside the mysterious William .
Victor ? Hes such a dangerous man .
Do you think Ms.
Torrey has a death wish to go to someone like him ? She would end up dead before she knew it !
