Ariana stared at Victor in disbelief. He must be doing this on purpose. Was he deliberately making things harder
for her?
Evelyn already resented Ariana and felt her anger boil over She had been invited to this meeting, yet Victor

Thankfully, she reacted swiftly. Otherwise, the situation would have becawkward when only two plates were
served.
“Mr. Smith, if you want that piece of land from the Granger family, you can take it anytime,” Evelyn said as she

playing games with me?”
She had chere late at night, offering a billion-dollar plot of land, only to be met with rejection. This was
