Torrey Co. really was in crisis, but its network and supply chain were well established.
Otherwise, why would Brian agree to marry her?
It was all for the decades-old Torrey brand, plus the skilled employees and those extensive connections.
“Madam Mackle, I'm not yet part of the Lodge family. My father left Torrey Co. to me. Igor is just a lazy bum with
no real skills. If I handed the company to him, Id be letting my father down.”
“Ariana, you...”
“Madam Mackle, my mind is made up,” Ariana said calmly. “I can live here at the Lodge residence, but |
absolutely will not hand the company over to Igor and Gwer.”
“You! When did you becso disobedient?”
Belinda was clearly unhappy. In the past, Ariana hadn't shown any interest in her family business,
Now, she was acting like a completely different person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Madam Mackle, if there's nothing else, | need to go upstairs and take care of sTorrey Co. matters.”
With that, Ariana headed upstairs.
Belinda frowned as she watched Ariana grow more and more defiant..
Upstairs, Ariana opened the file Miranda had sent her. The tile contained the contract for the land she had just
acquired in the South Gleaston suburbs.
Seeing the contract, Ariana’s lips curled into a smile. She finally got her hands on that piece of land.
Ariana remembered it clearly. Not long after that suburban lot was auctioned off, a government policy
encouraging suburban redevelopment was introduced. It qualified for a grant, and a natural hot spring was later
discovered there.
It turned out to be Gleaston’s largest stretch of wild hot springs, famous for their healing properties. That made
its value skyrocket dozens of times over.
In her previous life, a minor renovation of that area brought in more than 100 million a year in pure profit.
Within three years, Torrey Co. would recoup its entire investment. This deal was guaranteed to make profits.
Meanwhile, Brian was having a drink at Nyte Club.
“Mr. Lodge, what's going on? Why are you here drinking alone at my place so late?
Isaac was puzzled to see Brian drinking in a private room. Brian usually hated these bar-hopping scenes and
only ever cby for business reasons.
Seeing him show up on his own was unusual.
“Oh! | get it. It must be because business has been rough lately. Just think about it. First, you lost four billion
when Curtis Torrey blindsided you and then Curtis stole Liam as a partner. You really have had sbad luck this
year.”
Hearing Isaac’s words only made Brian feel more irritated.
Bad luck?

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrian couldn't help but recall how Ariana had once warned him he would be jinxed with bad luck. Could she really
be such a curse?
“Brian! I'm talking to you!”
Just then, Brian's phone rang. When he saw it was Evelyn calling, he frowned.
Unlike before, he didn’t pick up right away. Instead, he muted the call.
Isaac sensed sgossip. “So, did you have a fight with Evelyn?”
“It has nothing to do with her.”
“Then who is it about? Don’t tell me... It's Ariana?”
