Ch. 561..570
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 561
The sky was already dark when Lily reached home, but when she noticed the lights were on, it reminded her that someone was waiting for her. It made her feel serene and safe.
She walked into the house and felt the warmth within. Alexander was sitting on the couch in the living room, watching television. Seeing she was back, he took the remote control by his side and switched off the television. Then he walked to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of hot soup so she could drink it after she changed into her house slippers.
“Are you cold?” he asked.
“I’m fine.” Lily was not far from the city when Eloise dropped her off, and it was easy for her to grab a cab home. It was just that the place was quite far from their house. Hence it took a little longer for her to get home.
She took small sips of the soup; it tasted fresh and delicious. She felt grateful and happy.
Alexander said nothing as well. He just put his chin on his hand and turned his head to the side. to watch Lily. She had long lashes, which were fanning her cheeks like a mini fan, while she slowly pouted her mouth to sip the soup. Her neck was slender, and her skin fair, which would make anyone want to hold her in their hands.
She wore her thin, black hair in a loose ponytail, with a few dangling by her ears, which added a little allure to her appearance. Indeed, she was a beauty who had no idea how great she looked.
“What are you looking at?” Lily turned to look at Alexander after drinking half of her soup.
“You look good,” he said.
Lily’s eyes curved into the shape of a crescent upon hearing that. Then she put her bowl down. before holding Alexander’s face with her palms as she said thoughtfully, “You do too!”
The warmth from the soup was still lingering on her fingertips, making Alexander’s face feel. warm too. He held Lily’s hand and corrected her. “I’m a man. You can’t say that I look good. That’s not how you should describe a man.”
“Says who?! You look good! You look the best!” Lily chuckled and even pinched his cheeks mischievously.
Alexander held her wrists tightly, stopping her from moving. With a swift turn, he had her pressed against the sofa. In that position, she looked up at him innocently. After staring at her face for some time, he leaned down and locked his lips with hers.
Alexander was gentle, and his hands grabbing her wrists, were now holding her palms. Soon after, he intertwined his fingers with hers. The passionate kiss lasted a long time, and the two lost their breaths, almost gasping for air.
“Did she make things difficult for you?” Alexander asked, still unable to hold in his question.
Lily quickly understood he was referring to Eloise. She shook her head. “She didn’t. Look, I came back in one piece, didn’t I?”
“Did you accept her request?” he asked again.
Lily said, shaking her head again at his question. “No, I rejected her.”
“Oh.” It was a short reply, but Lily could tell Alexander felt relieved upon hearing her answer. “You don’t want me to accept her request?” Lily was curious if Alexander knew about Nathaniel and Eloise’s relationship. However, it would not be strange if he knew because het had the power to find out.
“I won’t make decisions for you, but if you need my opinion, I can give you them. I’ll ultimately respect the decision you make.”
Lily circled her arms around his neck and leaned into his embrace. “I don’t want to accept her request because I don’t think I can create a perfume that fits her through my understanding. and interaction with her. However, I don’t want to interact too much with her, so I didn’t want. to take it.”
“Yeah,” Alexander answered, his arm wrapped around her waist.
When Lily thought about Eloise’s words, something suddenly hit her, making her look up at Alexander. “Oh, right. Nate went missing. Do you know about that?
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 562
“Why would I know that?” he asked in return.
After asking that, he frowned and continued, “Why did you think I’d know about it?”
“You’re doubting me?” The gears in his mind moved, and he connected the dots quickly.
After he was silent for a while, Lily’s subconscious mind started formulating a comeback. Still, she held back and eventually gave him the truth. “Yeah, I figured you had something to do with his disappearance, but I wasn’t sure. After all, you have the resources and influence to pull that off, but if you insist it has nothing to do with you, then that’s it.”
Trust was written in her gaze. Alexander believed she was serious about her words and not just coaxing him.
“I have no idea about it,” he said. Someone as insignificant as Nathaniel was not worthy of Alexander’s time. However, the mention of Nathaniel did make Alexander slightly jealous.
“You’re worried about him?” It sounded like a simple question, but jealousy was evident in his tone.
Lily had been with Alexander for quite some time, so she could quickly tell that something was wrong from his tone. Knowing he was jealous again, she was speechless at first but found it hilarious. “If I were worried, I wouldn’t have asked you so casually. I was just surprised when I heard about it.”
“It’s not surprising for anything to happen to someone like him.” Although Lily tried to comfort him, he could not be coaxed so easily, which was evident from his sarcasm.
He paused and cleared his throat before adding, “Perhaps I could ask my people to look up on it tomorrow.”
He was jealous, but if Lily wanted to know Nathaniel’s whereabouts, he would still help her.
“It’s fine.” Lily shook her head. “We don’t even know if he’s really missing since someone would have reported it to the cops. Let’s leave this case about a missing person to the professionals, Mr. Russell.”
“What? You don’t trust my capabilities?” Lily’s words made him happy, but he pretended to be doubtful to tease her.
Circling her arms around his neck, she said, “Of course not! I just don’t think he’s worthy of your time and effort, Mr. Jealous.”
Alexander was about to retort, but she had closed the distance between them, her lips. stopping his words from coming out.
‘D*mn! Her lips are so soft!‘
Knowing that Lily did that on purpose, Alexander could not resist her. ‘Whatever. Mr. Jealous or whatever it is, I don’t care! There’s nothing I can do when she’s like this.‘
“Have you prepared the things I asked from you?”
Arianna stood by the door, her body blocking most of the sunlight that shone into the room, effectively darkening the room.
Nathaniel, leaning on the door, had his full attention on the new phone he just got his hands. on, his fingers dancing away on the screen. With the dim lights, Arianna could see that he was indulging himself in a mobile game, which made her expression darken.
“I thought that you were ready to start over. It seems that you just pushed yourself into at deeper sh*thole.” Holding her bag, she gritted her teeth. “If you’re not planning to start over again, get the hell out of here!”
“What’s with the nagging?”
Following his voice, a small bag was thrown in her direction, which she caught swiftly.
“You’re fast!” Nathaniel pressed his thumb on the screen hard before glancing up at Arianna as he stood up to meet her gaze. “I knew you were something else.”
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 563
Arianna ignored him and looked at the item in her hand.
“I’m telling you this now. This item is nothing good to girls. Why do you want it?” Nathaniel stood up and walked over to Arianna.
“You just need to do as you’re told. The rest is none of your concern.” She weighed the packet in her hand. It was tiny, but the amount should be sufficient.
Smirking, Nathaniel stood before her. “What? I’m just a tool for you to reach your goals?”
“You should be glad that you’re still useful.” She kept the item carefully before her gaze flashed over to him coldly. “What about the other thing?”
“You are well aware even if I didn’t tell you, right?” Nathaniel sneered.
After interacting with her for a few days, he understood something. On the surface, it looked like she had passed all her authority on the dark side of society to him, but how could she let it go completely? There were still people who would report directly to her and were still at her disposal. He knew that he was merely a puppet of hers.
In simpler terms, he would be the one to take the hit if anything were to go wrong. Sometimes, he could not believe that such a scheming woman was his half–sister “You don’t need to go all sarcastic on me. I told you; you can leave anytime you want if don’t want to cooperate with me,” Arianna said nonchalantly.
“Did I say that I want to leave? Instead of leaving, I’m going to thank you for giving me this opportunity!” Nathaniel picked up his phone slowly and sent a photo to her. “This is the person you’re looking for. He should be coming to Ruby City in a couple of days, probably next week. I’m still looking into the details, and I’ll update you once I have them.”
“Okay.” Arianna glanced at the picture she received and said lightly, “Don’t contact me unless it’s necessary. I’ll find you when I need you.”
Seeing that Arianna was about to leave, Nathaniel stared at her back and asked, “Ms. Neville doesn’t know about all these things you’re doing, does she?”
She stopped in her tracks but did not look back as she said coldly, “That is none of your concern.”
Then, she left right away.
‘Interesting!‘
Although Nathaniel had just reconnected with Arianna, he realized many things about her were similar to their mother. Scratch that. She was even better than their mother in some ways, and he believed there were still many secrets he had yet to discover about her.
When his company came crashing down back then, Nathaniel felt like a failure. He thought he did not have the chance to start over again. Now, he realized that he had given up too soon. ‘I still have a chance to turn things around, don’t I? Things were indeed getting more interesting.‘
“This… Are you sure it’s going to work?” Brittany swallowed subconsciously at the sight of the tiny bottle with a transparent liquid.
Arianna shook her head in response. “I’ve never tried it, but it should work just fine! It was difficult for me to get my hands on this. Using a little of it would be enough, so make sure not to overdose on it.”
Brittany said nothing and tightened her grip on the bottle like it was something significant.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 564
“Tanny, are you sure you want to do that? Didn’t you say that he isn’t someone… who would give in to threats?” Arianna probed in a soft voice.
“You’re right. He isn’t, but he’s someone with a strict set of principles.” Brittany looked up, her gaze fixed on a particular point in the distance grimly. “I’ve known him for many years, and I understand him well. He’s someone with great self–control and was never involved in any scandals. I know it’s not entirely because of me, but because he wouldn’t allow himself to make such a mistake. That’s why I’m sure he’d take responsibility if he slept with me!”
Her excellent understanding of Alexander made her want to take advantage of his personality because she believed in her assumptions.
Brittany was mindful of the fact that regardless of the outcome of her plan, her relationship with Alexander would enter a new chapter, be it for better or worse. Nonetheless, she was willing to bet on it!
“Sure, he might take responsibility and be with you, but what do you think he’d do once he finds out you did this to him?” Arianna tried to remind Brittany. “Aren’t you afraid he’d despise you?”
“I am!” The latter sucked in a deep breath as the thought of that happening made her tremble, but she was determined this time. “I need to do it even if I’m afraid! Ari, the scariest thing isn’t him hating me, but him not having a place for me in his heart at all. My biggest fear is that he’d forget about me one day in the future, and I’d rather have him hate me because that means he’d still remember me.”
A sharp beam flashed across Arianna’s eyes while she looked at Brittany. Sighing, she said, Okay then! I’ll support your choice since you’ve already decided. I hope that your dreams come true.”
“Thanks for being by my side all the time. I appreciate your support, encouragement, and advice for me.” Brittany said sincerely, both her hands holding Arianna’s shoulders. “Ari, you’re my best friend!”
Suddenly, she remembered something. “Oh right, don’t forget about the paparazzi. Get them to release the word about it at 9.30 p.m. I want everything to be perfect!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll remember that.” Arianna nodded, assuring Brittany. “This is all I can do for you as a friend. The rest is up to you!”
A moment later, Arianna added after some thought, “By the way, are you certain that Alex would attend the event by himself on that day? Wouldn’t he bring that woman along with him?”
Brittany shook her head. “He hadn’t brought her out for any public events yet. Plus, not only would that woman not be present at the event, she would also not be in Sapphine.”
“You’re going to kidnap her?” Arianna gasped in surprise.
That made Brittany throw her a glance before she said bitterly, “I did think about it, but there are many ways to make someone leave a place. Kidnapping her isn’t necessary.”
“Then you
“Anyway, you just need to help me spread the word on that day. I don’t want to drag you down if things go wrong either,” Brittany interjected. She was determined this time around.
Over the past few days, she had been anxious about her plan, but this time, she would go all out and bet on it.
Arianna said nothing else and reminded her again, “I heard the drugs have strong effects. Remember not to use too much of it. Otherwise, you might not get what you wanted.”
“Don’t worry. I got it.” Her voice was firm, but her fingers grasping onto the bottle were trembling.
Back then, Brittany wanted to win Alexander’s heart, but she wanted to own him physically first now!
Her heart would beat wildly every time she thought about the news release, about how the A list actress and business magnate were indeed in a relationship.
‘I wonder how that woman would react when she hears about the news once she returns from Kingsland. Does she think that she could keep Alex by her side forever? Who does she think she is?‘
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 565
While Lily packed, Alexander could not help himself and hugged her from behind. “What about I come with you?”
Although she was only traveling within the country this time, Alexander had been on high alert since Lily’s kidnapping in Westwood. The idea of her going on a business trip repelled him.
“What if I don’t go on the trip at all?” Lily turned her head and half–joked.
“Really?” Alexander’s gaze lit up at the sound of that. Even the pitch of his voice went higher. “You’re so silly!” Lily pecked his cheek before bending down to continue packing her luggage. “I’m just going there for two days, and I’ll be back soon. Plus, I’m not even going overseas this time. It’s just Kingsland, the hub of politics and cultural activities. It’s nearby too. You’re not afraid that something bad will happen to me again, right?”
“Of course I am!” Alexander did not hide his concern for her at all.
Lily was right, but he would miss her presence and did not want to feel separated. Lily froze, not expecting him to be so frank about his concern and yearning for her. She stopped whatever she was doing and turned to hug him. “Silly boy, I can defend myself!”
Alexander knew she could defend herself. He had a rough guess about it after they returned. from Westwood.
Lily said nothing much about the kidnapping, but Alexander knew the kidnappers were not just casual rebels. One could say Lily was lucky to come out of such a place unharmed, but that would not make sense.
Since she did not say much about the topic, Alexander did not bug her about the details. It was usual for her to know a little self–defense anyway because she was part of the Lodge family. He assumed she had learned kickboxing since she was young, but he was unsure how skillful she was in combat.
“I know you learned kickboxing from the Lodge family, but you must know that there are other threats in this world besides punches and kicks that could take you by surprise and hurt you a hundredfold more,” Alexander said seriously after composing himself.
That was the main reason for his concern. Although nothing like what happened in Westwood would occur in Kingsland, that was also dangerous. This time, the Perfumers‘ Society especially invited Lily over, which Alexander believed was not out of good intentions. His concern was apparent.
Lily laughed and raised her hand to caress the corner of his eyes before gently flattening the frown he had on his face. “I know that. I might not be the most intelligent person, but I know how to be cautious with people.
“Plus, I’ll only be there for two days and stay at the place you chose. I’m only going to the Perfumers‘ Society to settle some matters. Many others will also be there, so I should be fine. Even if someone wants to make things difficult for me on purpose, I can handle that too!”
In the past, Lily was not good at socializing and hated these unnecessary events. However, she learned how to deal with these people after she got together with Alexander. After all, growing
up was learning how to accept and solve problems instead of running away from them, right? “Promise me one thing.” Alexander raised his index finger. He was no longer stopping her, but he had a request.
“What is it?”
“Don’t do things beyond your limits!” he said thoughtfully.
‘When have I ever done that? I should settle the things that seem to be within my capabilities. Also, I’m only going there for a meeting. Does he honestly think I’m entering a lion’s den or something?‘
Smiling, Lily held his finger and remembered something. “Oh, right. Give and take. I have a request too, and you must agree to it!”
Alexander nodded immediately.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 566 Lily widened her eyes in surprise and noticed Alexander‘s lack of hesitation. She could not help but voice her thoughts, “Don‘t you want to ask me what it is before agreeing?” “I‘ll still promise you no matter what it is.” Alexander would agree to anything she asked. With that said, Lily was even more embarrassed to ask. However, she went with lier gut since he put it that way. “Then what if I said I want your business?” Lily half–jokingly said as she raised her eyebrows. When she looked over, Alexander‘s eyes seemed provocative but filled with bountiful emotions.
“Okay!” He did not frown–instead, he wrapped his arms around Lily‘s waist and hugged her tighter. “As long as you‘re willing to take care of it and won‘t complain that it‘s too tiring, I‘ll get the paperwork done tomorrow.”
With her body close to him, Lily saw her husband‘s seriousness about what he said. Lily continued, “Who would want to do all that? That would be too tiring! If I take over, the first thing I‘ll do is sell it off! It‘ll probably be worth a lot of money!”
She squinted at Alexander after speaking, waiting for his reaction. Still, Alexander remained calm and nodded in approval. “All right! Indeed, we‘ll get a considerable amount of money for the company. At least we no longer have to worry about the rest of our lives and even our children‘s lives. I can travel around the world with you. That sounds nice too.”
Lily was silent for a while.
“However...” Alexander suddenly turned the tables.
“However, what?” Lily asked.
“I suggest you better not do it.”
Did he regret it? Lily held back her smile and pretended to be dissatisfied, “I knew you weren‘t for real. I figured you were saying that just to make me happy.”
“It‘s not that I‘m reluctant, but I don‘t think it‘s worth it.” Alexander started feeling uncomfortable after standing for a long time. Since he was beside the bed, lie sat down but still held onto Lily‘s hand. He took advantage of the situation and hugged her.
Alexander glanced at his wife and said, “Indeed, we‘ll make a lot of money by selling La Beauté Group. So, we‘ll have enough for ourselves and our children, but it may not be enough for our grandchildren and future generations to live comfortably.
“I suggest you stay in the company for the sake of our future kin. If you feel tired, I can still take care of it. The money you make will continue to flow. That‘s the long–term solution. What do you think?”
His rational analysis and discussion restrained Lily from joking. She looked at him in surprise. “You‘re even thinking about our grandchildren?” “As long as it‘s about you, it‘s within my consideration,” Alexander said warmly as he gently kissed Lily‘s chin. He had confessed countless times, and each time Lily heard it, she would fall head over heels again.
“All right, let‘s stop talking.” Lily‘s cheeks were flushed red. She turned her body to get off Alexander‘s lap and continued to pack her luggage. “Okay, let‘s not talk about it. Let‘s do something sup!” With the soft bed behind her, Lily opened her eyes wide, “Fun?” Alexander thought the idea of it was perfect and immediately jumped into action.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 567
The annual Chamber of Commerce dinner in Sapphine was lively. Many industry leaders respected it because it allowed them to meet and engage with business partners they had cooperated with through the years. On the other hand, it was also to explore potential clients and perhaps better investments.
Alexander was naturally the center of attention at the dinner. Many small and medium–sized companies who wanted to cooperate withi La Beauté Group, or hoped to gain his favor and investment, would try their best to capture his attention.
Brittany was a little nervous as she held her wine glass. She stared at it for a long while but could not get a chance to squeeze in and isolate Alexander from the crowd.
Arianna swayed, looked ahead smilingly, and muttered, “It‘s getting late.” Her voice was soft, and only the two could hear it. Of course, only the two could understand each other. “I know,” Brittany pursed her lips, “There are too many people. I‘m waiting for an opportunity.”
“Waiting is not an option. If you keep waiting, Alex will probably leave at any minute,” Arianna said with a faint smile. She lowered her head and took a sip of the wine. She was busy greeting people non–stop. Brittany‘s heart was conflicted. She decided to settle the case as soon as possible but was still anxious about the approach. Her feelings for Alexander were love and fear at the same time. She had loved him for many years but would feel timid when facing him.
She raised her head and gulped her wine to give herself courage. “Remember what we agreed on!” Leaving those words behind, she strode toward Alexander‘s direction.
While approaching Alexander, she took two glasses of wine from the waiter‘s tray. She stared at the man before her, with her pinky tapping the glass inadvertently. Then she pushed aside the crowd to get to him.“Alex...”
Alexander looked back and saw Brittany.
“Alex, I was ignorant before. I did things that made you angry, and I was impulsive. I hope you can forgive me,” Brittany seemed sincere as she handed Alexander a glass of wine, “I hope you can forgive me.”
Looking at her, Alexander politely took the wine glass, but he did not drink it. “You‘re a grown – up now, so you should consider the consequences before you act. I can forgive you this time since I still treat you as my sister.”
Brittany‘s eyes glinted when she heard the word sister. “I see. If you forgive me, then let‘s toast to that!” She raised the glass in her hand.
“Brittany, you and I are friends. We don‘t need to drink to make amends,” Alexander said. He seemed like he did not want to drink.
“No, I insist!” Brittany stood before Alexander, fearing he would not drink the wine. She raised her head and drank from her cup. “I‘m being sincere, so I liope you can give us–give me another chance.”
She fixed her eyes on Alexander‘s wine glass as if she would not feel at ease if he refused to drink.
“Really?” Alexander asked again, raising his eyebrows. Brittany‘s eyes flickered as she bit her bottom lip. “Just this once?” “If that‘s what you want,” After pondering for a while, Alexander said slowly, “Okay.”
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 568
Alexander raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, then raised the empty glass, “Okay?” “Yes.” Her voice trembled a little. Her heart was pounding even faster after he drank the wine. Slie did not feel relieved at all.
He really drank it! Everything was going according to lier plan. Soon enough, the most critical step will come, and she could only hope to get the result slie expected.
The time hit 9 p.m., the dinner was in full swing, and the hall was lively. Some people were tired and went to the room to rest for a while. Brittany had been staring at Alexander‘s movements. Filteen minutes ago, he left the venue to take a break.
She had already obtained the hotel key for room 1808. The medicine should take effect at the same time as well. She gave Arianna a wink and quietly lest to go to the elevator.
Seeing her disappearing back, Arianna pursed her lips, walked outside the balcony, and made a phone call, “Let‘s make this happen.” After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel quickly followed the plan. He released the announcement to the paparazzi, “Breaking news at Room 1808.” Although the words were vague, the paparazzi were smart enough to know what was going on and went with the updates.
Whether it was true or not, a tip was always necessary. In fact, Nathaniel had no idea what was going on, but he did as Arianna told him to.
Previously, when working with Arianna, he became increasingly aware of why he failed in the past. He overestimated himself and the whole situation. He thought he was smart enough to win over Lily with his actions, but he did not expect her to have her own plans. She was stagnant, but she would excel once she was ready to rock and roll.
He has been thinking very clearly for the past few days. MN Inc. was nothing. He always had his visions looking far and wide. When he could grab the entire Oakley family, he would have enough strength to compete with Alexander. Work hard from the very beginning? How foolish. Looking up at room number 1808 and then looking at the room card in her hand, Brittany took a deep breath and moved the card close to the door lock. With a tiny “click,” the door opened.
There was no light in the room, and she dared not turn it on. It would be difficult to handle if Alexander suddenly woke up from the lights.
Through the dim light in the room, she could vaguely see someone sitting beside the bed, and it was obviously a man.
Suppressing, her excited heart, she walked slowly toward him. However, it was a little strange. If the medicine was working, how could he still maintain such calmness and still sit still?
The doubts in lier heart flashed. After all, her plan was about to succeed, and the excitement still overshadowed other emotions.
“Alex...” She wanted to call him but was afraid that her identity would be exposed, so she walked up to him, bent down, and tentatively reached out to touch his face. When her fingers touched liis cheeks, her heart palpitated for a while. She moved her fingers
slowly down to the collar of his neck, but suddenly, her hands were held down.
If the medication worked, he would gradually start to desire her. However, not only was he so calm, but he was not turned on at all.
Juist as she was wondering, tlie bedside lamp turned on, and the room became bright!
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 569
Brittany struggled to open her eyes for a while due to the intensity of the light. She opened it again after blinking, and her face turned pale in shock. “Why are you here?” She stumbled back in fear, but her hand was still pressed down, so she did not fall. One hand was still firmly pressed against the person‘s collarbone, which was embarrassing enough. That was the biggest evidence that the person she touched was not her dream man, but rather, her brother.
Brandon‘s reaction was no better than hers. He sat there, staring at her carefully, his expression sour.
Brittany‘s mind was blank, and she was in shock. She was clueless as to what was happening!
“Who did you think it was?” He said faintly. He was no longer chuckling as he always did, and his voice was somber. “Let me go!” Brittany‘s face was flushed with shame when her own brother held her. She desperately wanted to pull away and immediately wanted to delete the so–called evidence that she wanted to stage.
He looked down at the hand he was holding. Brittany‘s hand would have been even lower if he did not stop in time. Who would have known what would happen next? Brandon was still in shock. He never thought that his sister would dare to do such a thing. When Alexander contacted him earlier, he did not take it seriously or would even believe it. He would think it was a false rumor if he had not seen it with liis own eyes.
As soon as he let go, Brittany fell back and sat down unsteadily. She sat on the ground for a while, unwilling to get up. She was depressed and still trying to figure out what was going on. “Why are you here? Where is he?” Since the cat was already out of the bag, there was nothing to hide, so she asked bluntly. “How dare you ask? How dare you do such a thing? What were you going to do if I didn‘t show up? Are you out of your mind, Brittany?!” Brandon suddenly stood up and angrily reprimanded.
Facing his rebuke, Brittany seemed very disapproving. She looked at liim while bending one leg and placing a loose hand on her knee, “What am I doing? I just want to be with the man I love. What‘s wrong with that? Brandon, what right do you have to speak to me like that? Have you ever counted the number of women you‘ve been with? At least I am better than you, you playboy!”
“No matter how much I play around, I‘d never put our family business and future at stake!” Brandon was furious, but she still did not admit her fault, “I thought you probably had figured it out these few days, but I didn‘t expect you‘d be so courageous to drug him! How dare you drug lum! Do you know who he is? Do you know his methods? Do you want the whole family to die with you?”
“Hey,” with a disdainful sneer, she stood up slowly, “Just look at how timid you are! I would have already slept with him if you hadn‘t gotten in the way. Based on how he is, do you think he won‘t be responsible for me? By then, our family would only expand, and you‘d follow suit.
If I win the bid in one fell swoop, it will be even more perfect. Here you are still yelling!” She stroked her belly with one hand as if she was pregnant.
She thought for a while, “By the way, what did you do with him? Also, how did you even know?
The plan was flawless. She did not tell anyone except for Arianna. Arianna was the one who bought the drug and spread the news. Brittany never suspected Arianna, or maybe it was her. While Brittany was trying to figure it out, Brandon became upset. His hands clenched into fists as they hung at his side. He tried his best to restrain his emotions, “Brittany, you‘re idiotic! Alex would think that you‘re immature for playing these tricks! If it wasn‘t for the sake of the friendship, you might‘ve even died! Come with me now!” He stretched out his hand to pick up Brittany, but she was still thinking out loud. She suddenly thought of something and shouted, “Damn it! What time is it now?”
“It‘s half past nine!” Brandon answered after he checked the time but was confused why Brittany asked, “What‘s wrong?”
“Great! There‘s still time!” She breathed a sigh of relief after she heard the time, “Then let‘s go quickly!” Since the plan had failed entirely, she could not stay here anymore. Things would be more troublesome if the paparazzi came.
Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 570
After fixing up her clothes, she glanced at Brandon. He was still unliappy with the whole situation. She pouted, walked over, and opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, blinding flashlights of the cameras were taking pictures frantically, accompanied by exclamations, “Brittany! It‘s Brittany!” Whoa! What a scene! Tomorrow‘s headlines would read “Leading Actress with Mysterious Man at Hotel Room for One Night Stand.” That would definitely be breaking news! In vain, they rushed over, and they all tried their best to raise the camera for fear that they would not be able to take a good picture. Brittany was walking in front, and Brandon was still in the room, so people outside did not see who the man inside was.
Raising her arm to cover her eyes, Brittany was surprised how these people came so quickly. Obviously, the news would not be released so early.
Still, years of experience with the media made her calm enough to say with a slight smile,” What‘s everyone doing here? If you want to interview, you should make an appointment with my assistant first.”
“Brittany, are you here alone?” “There seems to be someone else inside. It‘s so late now. Are you two talking about the script?
“Are you seeing someone?” Some of the awkward questions were prepared by herself, but now, they seemed very embarrassing “Why is it so noisy?” Frowning, Brandon walked out from the inside with an impatient look.
The paparazzi froze. “Brandon?” Those who have been in these gossip circles all year round still could recognize rich young people, especially a playboy like Brandon. He had been constantly rumored about all kinds of scandals.
They were siblings? What kind of breaking news was this? “How are you guys?” He raised his hand and showed his signature smile, “It must be tiring for everyone to come and photograph my sister at this hour! However, I hope everyone can give her some private space so she won‘t be too tired.” “Why‘s Brandon here?” Some people felt unwilling to give up and even looked inside the room suspiciously.
Seeing their actions, Brittany was very dejected. She also hoped that a certain someone was in the room. Obviously, that was not the case. Everything went in the wrong direction. She could not change anything, so she only went with the slow. “I‘m not supposed to be here? My sister had a few drinks at the Chamber of Commerce and rested a while in the room. Now I‘m picking her up to go home. Do you have anything else to ask?” Shrugging, Brandon answered naturally.
Everyone looked at each other. There was 110 problem at all, but what about tomorrow’s headlines? It was impossible to write that the Oakley siblings were secretly in love and went home together. That was nonsense!
While hesitating, there was a sudden loud noise from the opposite room. Everyone present could hear it. The crowd went completely silent.
