Ariana refrained from calling William insane. She turned to leave William's office without saying anything more.
Tflew by quickly at Glea College, and before they knew, night had fallen. Ariana and Selena walked out of
the academic building
They didn’t have any classes in the afternoon, but Ariana hung around because she wanted to spend more time
in the school library.
Selena had never seen Ariana study so diligently before. Ever since Ariana jumped into the pool at that
engagement party, she seemed to have cto her senses,
Not only did she stop chasing after Brian, but she also suddenly seemed to develop a real passion for studying.
Selena said, “Ari, you don’t really need to study so hard. You're set for life with your family wealth.”
“That's not the point,” Ariana replied. “Money comes and goes. What's yours today might not be tomorrow. But
knowledge stays with you forever. No one can take it away.

“What's happening?” Selena asked curiously. “Does Brian insist you get hby a certain time? Isn't he being a
bit too controlling?”
“No,
“Ariana replied with a sly smile. “It’s tfor the nightlife to begin.
Selena looked at her, puzzled.
Ariana grinned. “Men like Brian would never tolerate their fiancées partying. Don’t you agree?”
“Well, no man would be okay with his girlfriend living it up like that, either,” Selena replied.
She had to admit Ariana’s plan was harsh. Did Ariana just cup with such a stunt just to make Brian despise
her? People with Ariana’s social standing could end up mired in a major scandal with one wrong move.
“I've booked six male models at a club tonight-all with nice abs. Want to join me?” Ariana said nonchalantly.
Selena slapped Ariana’s shoulder, grinning. “I've been waiting for this!”
Isaac pulled Brian into one of the VIP rooms at the nightclub.
“I know you're not into socializing, but there’s no way around it. It is part of the job.” Isaac leaned in closer and
whispered, “I even asked Joan to finda group of hot women today. Loosen up a little, will you? Stop thinking
about work all the time.”
“You broughthere to socialize with businessmen but expectnot to think about work?” Brian shot Isaac a
glance.
“It doesn’t hurt!” Brennan said with a laugh. “Look at those old guys over there. None of them are here for work-
they're all here for the women!”
Brian rubbed his temples, clearly annoyed.
He had always hated noisy places like this, and he detested drinking parties even more. But sdeals couldn't
be sealed over business dinners-they required the kind of casual atmosphere only a nightclub could provide.
Before long, a line of beautiful women entered the room, each one tressed provocatively, showing off their long

legs and curves in skimpy outfits.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrian's thoughts unexpectedly drifted to Ariana and the outfit she had been wearing earlier that day.
Ariana’s figure was stunning-one in a million, in fact. She had curves at all the right places and a slim waist.
These women didn’t even cclose to Ariana. Brian felt nothing but indifference toward them.
In truth, he didn’t like strangers getting too close to him.
Around him, the other businessmen were already enjoying themselves, each with a woman on their arm.
Isaac joined them for a couple of drinks.
As for Brian, he had already honored everyone with his presence. He didn’t need to drink. All he had to do was
wait for others to toast to him. After that, they'd willingly fork out money and eagerly close deals with him.
