Billionaire’s Great Obsession

Brianna knitted her brows and asked worriedly, “Have you got any clue who it might be that they are working for? Who is it that wants to harm you?”

“We will find out soon. When he grows impatient, he will show up.” Scott said calmly.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Hmm. It looks like you have a plan, and I’m just worrying too much.”

“They are probably still using your ex, Liam Williams. If I finish him off, will you be upset?” Scott asked.

Brianna paused, shocked by Scott’s question. “Scott, do you, do you have to…”

Scott turned around and looked at Brianna sternly, Why? You still have feelings for him, don’t you? Huh? Despite the fact that he’s used you, dumbed you, and now he’s trying to steal your customers again.”

“No, I don’t have feelings for him.” Brianna retorted, then she hesitated for a bit before she added. “If he hadn’t taken the risk of losing his own life and pushed me off the road, I would have probably gotten run over and died. I was just a little girl then. He has once saved my life after all.”

Scott was reminded of his own experience, and he went quiet. A few seconds later, he said, much more gently, “Alright, I won’t kill him, but you’d better be loyal to me. If I find out you still care for him and his family, then I will make sure you suffer.”

“Ever since the day I became your wife, I have never ever thought of betraying you,” Brianna assured him. Deep down, she felt upset. She never wanted it to end this way, with her and Liam. She didn’t want them to become enemies as she simply hoped they would forget each other and their paths would never cross again.

The client they were meeting was Andy Jordan, the owner of the biggest electronic company in the country. Brianna had only read about him in the news. Meeting someone of such importance in person, Brianna was naturally feeling nervous.

She sat next to Scott and listened to them quietly, too anxious to voice any opinions. Also, she could hardly understand the technical terms they were using.

Sensing that Brianna was a bit bashful and nervous, Andy spoke to her with a smile, “I’ve heard a lot about you, Mrs. Brianna Anderson. It was the recent Rare Gem copycat incident, right? You are the one that designed the original piece. I’ve seen some photos, and it’s beautiful.”

Brianna nodded humbly. “Thank you. I’m flattered.”

“I’ve heard that you have also done two designs for Mrs. Sally Streep. She’s a friend of my wife’s, and my wife saw one that she was wearing the other day. My wife loves it. I wonder if I could have the honor to ask you to design some jewelry for my wife?”

Brianna was rather surprised and felt honored to be asked. She looked at Scott as if to ask for permission. Scott nodded, which meant she could accept the request.

Brianna replied cleverly, “I’m honored, Mr. Andy Jordan. I’m sure from now on, you and Scott will be great business partners. To design for your beloved wife as a designer of The Anderson Corporation is a fantastic opportunity for me. Thank you.”

“It’s not easy to meet a good business partner nor a brilliant designer. I would like to have Mrs. Brianna Anderson as the only and designated designer, instead of other designers in The Anderson Corporation, if that’s ok, Mr. Scott Anderson?”

Scott smiled and said, “For sure. Brianna is the principal and only designer in the company that accepts only private and customized orders. With mass production, we have another team in charge.”

Andy was pleased with the answer. However, he had not confirmed that he would work with The Anderson Corporation. He owned the biggest electronic company in the country after all, and Scott wasn’t his only choice as a business partner.

To create more chances to meet and build a good relationship with Andy Jordan, Brianna said cleverly, “Mr. Jordan, may I ask the reason why you would like to give your wife a present? It will help me with the design if I know you and your wife better if you don’t mind.”

Andy knitted his brows and heaved a sigh. “To be honest with you. I made a big mistake about a year ago. I betrayed my wife, but I love her. We have known each other since high school.”

Brianna understood and asked politely, “How would you like to apologize to her and express your love?”

Andy rubbed his temples and confessed. “We have been separated for a year. It was the secretary that used to work for me. She got pregnant, and it’s a boy. My wife and I have two daughters, and I’ve always wanted a son. I was so stupid. I even thought about marrying her and divorce my wife, but I never told her. However, the girl sent a photo of the pregnancy test and a short video of us together with my wife. My wife didn’t say anything. She didn’t ask any questions; she didn’t argue, and the next day she just left a divorce agreement and moved out. My two daughters both decided to live with their mother, and they still won’t see me.”

Brianna listened and took a look at Scott, who was sipping his coffee quietly, but Brianna could sense the anger in him. What has it got to do with him? Why is he angry? Brianna thought, and then she suddenly remembered that Jameson and Maryanne Anderson were Scott’s half-siblings of the same father; that his father had also betrayed his mother, and his mother died because of that. That must be why! He must despise betrayal.

Gently, she held Scott’s hand under the table. “Mr. Jordan, thanks for your trust. Have you decided what to do? I mean, will you divorce your wife and marry the girl, or…”

Andy heaved a sigh and said, “I fired the girl right after my wife moved out, and I’ve asked her to have an abortion. I just want my wife and my daughters back, but they won’t forgive me…”

On hearing so, Brianna tightened her fists. Isn’t that too cruel to the girl? It’s not her fault. She thought. But at least it shows that he still loves his wife. Most men would choose young and pretty girls and leave their wives and children, I guess.

Scott seemed calmer, and Brianna patted his hand softly as if to say that she was there for him.
