My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 482 - 64: Too Defensive

Even after leaving the room, Ken was still nervous. He felt like he had done something bad in not telling Brian. But Simon had ordered him not to. He could only hope that Brian would not misunderstand Diana.

Unfortunately, things went completely against his wishes.

That night, Simon William had a talk with Brian.

"I know that you have become intimate with a girl named Diana Anderson. But you have a fiancée already. You have to know what is appropriate and what is not," Simon said with a serious look.

Brian gave nothing away and replied, "Dad, did someone tell you something?"

Simon looked at him. "I didn't need anyone to tell me. Your story is all any of our family friends are talking about."

"Well." Brian looked away, indifferently.

"You talk with me in this way?!" Simon was angry at Brian's attitude.

Brian frowned at him, "Dad, can you stop getting involved in my business?"

"That girl said she doesn't want to be with you. So, you'd better keep away from her, don't mess up her life."

Brian had been distracted before. But now his attention has peaked.

"Dad! Did you see her?"

Seeing Brian's anxious look, Simon was certain about his judgment. So, he replied coldly, "Yes. She told me she doesn't want to see you again."

"Did you threaten her?" Brian's eyes widened in anger.

Simon sneered at him and said, "You think I would do that to a girl?"

Brian was speechless for a moment, then said questioningly, "So why did she do as you asked?"

Simon turned his back to Brian. His hands were crossed behind his back.

"That is not something you want to ask."

Brian stood there and looked at Simon for a while, then walked straight out of the room. Simon was about to ask him to stay but finally decided to hold his tongue.

Brian seemed to have misunderstood something. But Simon didn't care about that. No matter what happened, Brian and Carol's marriage would not change. It was too important for their two families.

Brian walked back to his own room. In a fit of rage, he began to smash anything he could get his hands on. He smashed every expensive object in the room. He didn't stop until the whole room resembled a warzone.

Ken came to see what all the noise was about and looked at the mess in shock. "Boss… What happened?"

"Nothing," Brian said coldly.

Judging by his face, Ken could see he was extremely angry. When Brian said"nothing," that normally meant it was something important. Ken had known Brian for years and was aware of all his habits.

Ken guessed what might have caused Brian's anger, and he thought of his talk with Simon. So, he asked carefully, "Boss, are you mad at Miss Anderson?"

Brian's face turned red, and he slammed his fist down on the table. "Do not mention that bitch's name in my presence!"

Ken was shocked. After a while, he bit his lip and murmured, "Boss, I think maybe you've got the wrong end of the stick…"

"What?" Brian squinted his eyes and continued, "How could this be a misunderstanding? She is brave enough to leave me!"

Brian loosened his collar and took a deep breath. "She broke up with me for money! There is nothing she wouldn't do!"

What? Hearing that, now Ken knew Brian was mistaken.

Ken stood there, awkwardly, and thought for a while. "Boss, Miss Anderson is so kind. Do you really think she would leave you for money? Maybe… maybe she was bothered by something else."

Brian rolled his eyes and offered no comment.

Ken tried to explain, "Boss, you are engaged to Miss Jefferson. It's not fair on Miss Anderson. She might have made her choice to escape the gossiping and rumors."

"Gossip?" Brian raised his eyebrows. He preferred this explanation than to think that she'd left for money.

"Yes, Boss. You…" Ken was about to say something more, but Brian raised his hand and stopped him. "Alright. I will think about it. You can leave now."

Ken nodded and walked out of the room.

Sitting on the couch alone, Brian scratched his chin, deep in thought. All of a sudden, an idea came to him. His ideas usually turned out to be ill-advised, but he gave that little thought.

Brian changed his clothes, and half an hour later, he arrived at Diana'scollege.

He always got what he wanted. It might be difficult for him to get Diana, but it wasn't impossible!

At the same time, Diana was also annoyed. She didn't want to go back to Brian's House, but her stuff was still there.

She couldn't decide what to do. After a quick dinner in McDonald's, Diana decided to sleep in the lab room. She would go to see Brian tomorrow and tell him her decision.

She did like Brian. But Diana would never allow herself to become a mistress; she had too much self-respect for that. Brian was going to marry Carol, and that was that.

In some way, Diana was relieved. Why should she bother with Brian?! They had no future, better to get it over and done with now.

***

Feeling slightly more optimistic than before, Diana took her bag and went to the college lab room. However, when she arrived, she found that the lab had been locked.

Diana cursed her bad luck. She walked down the corridor and called Kyle.

"Kyle, are you in school now?" Diana asked awkwardly.

Kyle was driving back home. But he knew Diana must be calling him for help. So, he said, "I just had dinner. I am on the way back now. Can I help you with something?"

Diana was hugely relieved. "Kyle, I realized that there are a few experiments I never finished. So, I want to complete them tonight in the lab. You have the key, right?"

"Yes. Wait for me. I'll come soon," Kyle answered.

"Great, thank you!" Diana was elated.

Kyle was pleased to hear Diana's happy voice. She deserved his favor. Whatever she encountered in life, it seemed she always stayed optimistic.
