The woman he loved was rather fierce and unpredictable.


    However, he found her reaction amusing and was not upset by her rejection at all.


    With a smirk still lingering on his lips, Carlow pulled out his phone and dialed a number.


    He needed to uncover the background of the mysterious woman Brian had been seen with.


    With Aldrich currently in power, Carlow knew he had to proceed cautiously, hiding his true identity until Aldrich’s true nature was exposed.


    Meanwhile, Brian apanied Betsy as they reached her floor.


    Instead of exiting the elevator, he remained inside.


    “Go ahead and get some rest.


    I’ll take my leave now,” he said.


    Betsy’s mind raced as she contemted how to invite Brian into her home.


    Observing that he remained inside the elevator, she quickly pivoted and grasped the frame of the elevator.


    “Mr.


    Hughes, why don’t youe to my ce and rx for a while?”


    Her invitation was tinged with a hint of eagerness.


    Concealing his revulsion, Brian responded casually, “No, thank you.


    I have other matters toPlease check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    attend to.


    ”


    Undeterred, Betsy persisted, her tone coaxing, “Mr.


    Hughes, it’s dinnertime.


    You must be hungry, right? Why don’t you join me for a meal before you continue with your work?”


    A flicker of impatience crossed Brian’s features, his demeanor growing colder.


    “I’m not hungry yet,” he stated curtly, his finger pressing the button for his desired floor.


    Sensing his disinterest, Betsy relented, realizing that further insistence would be futile.


    With a resigned sigh, she released her grip on the elevator frame, allowing the doors to close.


    Betsy watched as the elevator doors slowly shut, concealing Brian’s figure from her view.


    She felt a wave of disappointment.

    Why didn’t Briane inside and have a meal with her?


    Just a moment ago, outside, he seemed so concerned about her.


    It had made her think he cared for her.


    But maybe this wasn’t a good time for him.


    He had just lost his power, and his mother was in the hospital.


    He was probably anxious to get back and n his next move against Aldrich.


    Betsy took a deep breath, a smug smile forming as she thought about Brian’s concern.


    Selina’s n was perfect.


    It had driven a wedge between Brian and Rosalynn.


    Now, it was her opportunity to leverage the situation!
