When Ariana said William had taken that plot of land, Brian abruptly stood up. “What did you just say?”

“Mr. Lodge, I’m just a woman. What do I know about investing? Besides, I didn’t buy it. Mr. Kingsman did. You already know I had no real power in the Torrey family back then. Where would I have gotten five billion? If you really want that land, you should talk to Mr. Kingsman. Maybe he’ll be willing to sell it to you.

Ariana put on an innocent look, but Brian heard no trace of goodwill in her words.

“Ariana, are you kidding me? You were the one who wanted that land. Now you’re just handing it over?”

“Mr. Lodge, that’s not entirely accurate. Mr. Kingsman was the one who paid for it at the time. Now he’s taking it back. What can I say? I have to let him have it.”

She let out a sigh and continued, “To tell you the truth, I do regret it. Had I known this land would turn out so valuable, I would’ve bought it myself. Now look, I’m left with nothing.‘

“You…”
