Chapter 194
It wasn’t an overstatement to describe Brennan’s looks as dashing and breathtaking.
However, for Ariana, liandsome looks meant nothing. Nothing could rein her in like a single word from William.
At that moment, Brennan stood frozen in place and removed his sunglasses. His phone vibrated again with an incoming call from Evelyn.
“Have you arrived?”
“I’m downstairs at Block A,” Brennan replied.
It wasn’t long before Evelyn walked out of the building
“Was that Ariana just now?”
Brennan had met Ariana before. In their social circle, most people with similar family backgrounds had grown up together.

Suddenly, Ariana stopped in her tracks.
A memory of the man in white from earlier flashed across her mind.
Wait a minute! She thought that man had seemed familiar,
Wasn’t that Brennan?
Ariana suddenly regretted not stopping to confirm whether or not it was really him. She considered going back down, but William’s voice boomed from above.
“You’re too slow.”
