Evelyn sounded like she was defending Ariana, but her words only fueled Brian's anger.
She liked him?
Ariana just liked him for allowing her to climb the social ladder!
Before, it was him that she clung to. Now, she had set her sights on William as her next victim.
No wonder she'd stopped going out of her way to kiss up to him lately.
At that thought, Brian's eyes turned cold.
She has finally revealed her true colors to him!
"Let's go."
He grabbed Evelyn and pulled her into the auction hall, ignoring Ariana and William.
Meanwhile, William allowed Ariana to link her arm through his as he said coolly," You're my date tonight, so you have to do everything I tell you. Understood?"
"Well then, Mr. Kingsman, two can play at that game. Since I'm your date tonight, you'll be footing all my expenses, right?"
"You're my date, not my girlfriend."
Feigning a scowl, Ariana said, "But Brian used to spend money on me. You wouldn't want to lose to him when it comes to charm, would you?"
“Are you trying to provoke me?”
“Oh no, I wouldn’t…”
“Because you’ve succeeded.”
Ariana was speechless.
In the auction hall, the guests had taken their seats.
