Chapter 457

“Brittany, I don‘t want to tell you if you‘re going to act like this,” Arianna said cautiously. Arianna had just said a word, and Brittany exploded. If she had heard it all, it would have been way worse.

Arianna stood up and said, “By the way, I just remembered I have something to tend to at home, so I have to go.”

“Don‘t leave!” Brittany grabbed her. How could she let her leave so quickly?

“You weren‘t clear enough. Do you want to drive me crazy? Tell me, where did you hear that? By the way, who is Alex engaged to?”

It was difficult for Brittany to ask the last question. Deep in her heart, she did not want to believe it. She had been by Alexander‘s side for so long. There were not even female animals around him, let alone women. How could someone who did not have a girlfriend suddenly get engaged? If Brittany had heard this from anyone else, she would have laughed it off as a stupid joke. However, it was different since it came from Arianna.

Arianna was a member of the Tanner family from Ruby City. She was Brittany‘s best friend and knew how much Brittany liked Alexander. Why would she joke about this?

“Brittany, this may not necessarily be true. I heard it from someone too. Don‘t take it too seriously.”

Arianna looked at Brittany and pursed her lips.

“Forget it. You can treat it as a rumor or that I‘m talking nonsense. Don‘t overthink it.”

“Arianna!” Brittany pulled her best friend‘s hand and stomped her feet, saying, “Wow, you‘re driving me crazy! I can differentiate between what‘s real and what‘s fake. Just tell me what you heard, and I won‘t blame you for anything else!”

Brittany was impatient and was notorious for her temper in the entertainment industry. She would have been exposed long ago if she were not popular enough and did not have a family to back her up.

Even so, some haters would sometimes reveal rumors about her, but her brother, Brandon Oakley, would suppress them. Just like now, Brittany had just yelled at her assistant, who came to the dressing room to check on her because she was anxious about the news she had heard.

“It was hearsay!”

With a sigh, Arianna said helplessly, “Did you know Wilfred Lodge had his birthday a few days ago?”

Brittany nodded subconsciously, but after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head quickly. She did not know.

The Oakley family had done well in the past two years. Their growth was rapid when coupled with the younger generation‘s efforts. Nonetheless, most still considered them newcomers in the upper–class circle at best. So, they don’t know the other families very well.

“He‘s from the Lodge family in Brown City. You know, the mysterious one?” Arianna explained patiently, but Brittany did not have the patience to listen.

“You don‘t need to explain that. I don‘t care about the Lodge family. I only care about Alex! Just get to the point!”

The corners of Arianna‘s mouth twitched, “I‘m just talking to you. Take it easy, okay? Not to mention this matter is not necessarily true. Even if it is true, it‘s just an engagement, not a marriage. Why are you so upset?”

“How can I not be upset? I‘ve been by Alex‘s side for so long, observing and keeping every female away from him. Now, you suddenly tell me that he‘s engaged?! To whom?!” Brittany was unable to calm down.
