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, “You've been out of it all night. What's 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.

” It's about Ms. Torrey again, right?”

Brian didn’t respond, but his silence confirmed Isaac's guess.

So, it was about Ariana. The Brian he knew had never been like this before.

“Lettake another guess. You're upset because Ms. Torrey hasn't texted you all day, right?” Isaac caught

Brian's shift in expression and knew he was right again.

Isaac smiled knowingly. “Just admit it, Brian. You've fallen for Ariana.”

Brian's face fell. “Me? In love with Ariana? What nonsense are you spouting?”

“This is not nonsense. | have evidence to back it up!” Isaac grew serious. “Brian, when you like someone, you

can’t help but want to reach out to them-to know what's going on with them. You've been checking your phone

so many times tonight. What else could you be hoping to see besides a message from Ariana? | know you're a

proud man, and you are holding yourself back from texting her first. That's why you're so frustrated.”

Brian's expression turned unpleasant from being read like an open book by Isaac.

Isaac continued, “Ariana used to like you so much, and you didn’t even spare her a glance. Now that she’s

stopped chasing you, you've started liking her. Isn’t 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 | 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.”

“That's 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 Ariana’s dislike and even hostility toward him. He didn’t 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. Let's set aside the mysterious

William. Victor? He's 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!”
