After all, Gleaston was Brian’s territory. Most people who came here would show him respect.
Emily didn’t believe a young woman from overseas would dare refuse an invitation from Brian.
Brian simply replied coldly, “She’s not worth it.‘
“Yes, Mr. Lodge.”
As they were leaving, Brian said to Emily, “Keep an eye on Ariana. Don’t let her run around.”
“Yes,”
Meanwhile, Ariana looked out the window from her room. She saw that Brian had already placed people around the apartment.
The Lodge family’s bodyguards were easy to recognize with their matching uniforms. They were taking turns stationed at the entrance. Was Brian trying to control her movements?
Ariana frowned. Wasn’t he going too far? They had already broken up, but he still acted like he owned her.
Ariana was upset, but there was nothing she could do. He held all the power in this city, and even the smallest move from him could make everyone tremble.
She must have been out of her mind in her previous life, thinking she could win his heart with sincerity.
Brian was basically a heartless rock. No woman but Evelyn could conquer him.
With that in mind, Ariana took out her phone and called William. “Brian hired experts to help me with rehab for a month. Looks like it’ll take at least two months before I can show up as Susan. I need you to keep my records. hidden during this time. I think Brian will pick up on the name Susan soon.”
Brian wasn’t the president of Lodge Co. for no reason. Apart from his strong background, his insight was exceptional.
Warto Group was already a listed company, so Brian would have noticed William’s powerful subordinate–Susan, who was actually Ariana’s fake identity.
Ariana felt a headache coming on. If she had known, she would have made herself look hideous. Brian definitely wouldn’t be interested in her then.
“Don’t worry,” William said with a hint of laughter. “I’ll protect you. No way I’ll let my cash cow topple.”
Ariana knew William was a sly fox, so she hung up after a brief reply.
Still, William was easier to deal with than Victor.
All Ariana wanted was to escape Brian’s control, kick Gwen and Igor out of her family, and then live comfortably on her wealth. She wanted no part in the struggles of Brian Evelyn, Victor, or William.
Maybe Brennan, too. But in her previous life, Brennan barely showed up except to take Evelyn’s side. He was just one of the many men devoted to Evelyn.
