His small eyes were almost invisible when he laughed. Brielle leaned coquettishly on the man. Their relationship was clearly not platonic.

Ariana recognized the middle-aged man next to Brielle; his name was Reilly Holmes. He was the boss of the Star Club. Ariana remembered Reilly started his business in a casino. He had done a lot of terrible things in his life. He was also a notorious voluptuary.

Jasper had just been sent to jail, and Brielle had already found herself another sugar daddy. She was truly a social climber.

The last thing Ariana wanted was to have any contact with Brielle at this moment. She thought she could avoid the two lovebirds, but to her dismay, Brielle saw her and shouted, “Ariana, why are you here?"

With a strut in her step, Brielle held on to Reilly, eyeing Ariana with a sly grin. Her fingers played with a brand-new trinket on her wrist.

“Ariana, dining solo tonight? Where's Mr. Anderson?"

But before Ariana could utter a response, Brielle chimed in once more, her smile not missing a beat.

"Oh, it almost slipped my mind. With the Anderson Group crumbling, Mr. Anderson must not feel like dining out as he was tied up with difficulties."

Her smugness was on full display, impossible to ignore.

Ariana remained quiet, her irritation simmering beneath the surface.

Brielle always exuded such self-importance.

Interpreting Ariana's silence as hurt by her words, Brielle let out a triumphant giggle.

"Meet my boyfriend, Reilly," she said, a trace of flirtation in her voice.

"He's the CEO of Star Club, you could ask him for help if you're jobless in the future.”

Brielle reveled in the Anderson family's plight. In her mind, their downfall equated to Ariana's loss and her triumph.

Ariana, however, found her gloats both Laughable and pitiful.

“Isn't it interesting? You were engaged to Jasper just a moment ago, and now you've conveniently found a new man after he was sent to prison?"

Stung by Ariana's words, Brielle shot Reilly a pleading Look, followed by an appeasing smile.

“Reilly is my true Love. It was only Jasper's constant wooing that led me to accept his proposal."

Being a seasoned player, Reilly saw through Brielle's facade. He knew her for what she was - someone scrambling for a rebound after the debacle of the Anderson family. But he was simply amusing himself with her, the rest didn't bother him.
