Billionaire’s Great Obsession

On hearing so, Brianna couldn’t help feeling unjust. She and Liam had known each other since childhood, but ever since Brianna’s father died, he never bought her any presents anymore except something cheap on her birthdays. Yet, he’s been so generous with those girls he’s slept with! Subconsciously, Brianna clenched her fists, and she resented them.

However, Scott appeared as if he had not seen them at all. He walked past them, holding Brianna’s hand, without taking a look at them. Brianna followed quietly.

Seeing the bodyguards carrying all those expensive bags of luxury behind Brianna, Zara couldn’t help feeling jealous. “Brianna.”

“Alright, Zara.” Brianna turned around and looked at her with a sneer. “Every time I see you, I can’t help recalling our encounter in your café.”

Zara glared at Brianna, but seeing Scott holding Brianna’s hand, she retorted with a mocking smile, “Ha. I wonder how long you can last. I thought Mr. Scott Anderson got tired of you.”

Brianna smiled proudly and said, “Well, I’m a lucky woman.”

“Luck doesn’t last long.” Zara mocked. “Anyway, considering that you were Liam’s ex and sort of a friend when you get dumped, you can come to ask me for help. I won’t share my man with you, but I can at least give you a bit of money so you won’t have to beg or go back to your old business, making money from old rich men.”

Brianna walked up to Zara and slapped her on her face twice.

Tears filled Zara’s eyes immediately, and her cheek turned painfully red. She glared at Brianna resentfully, and despite how much she wanted to slap Brianna back, she couldn’t as Scott was watching her closely.

“Thank you for your generous offer.” Brianna said ironically, “But if one of us will be sleeping with rich old men to survive, it won’t be me.” She looked Zara into her eyes with a sneer and went on, “Next time you see me, you’d better hide, or it won’t be just a slap of two on your face.”

“Stupid bitch! My father runs the most successful construction company in town, and I’m his only daughter. I can have whatever I want. Why would I ever be any men’s sex toy?! But look at yourself, you are a slut. You…” Zara retorted angrily.

Again, Brianna slapped her twice to cut her short. “YOU are the stupid one, Zara Berry. Who knows when your father’s company will go bankrupt. You know what, I’ve learned my lesson wasting so much of my time on an asshole, who is your boyfriend now. Good luck to you! Ha.”

Enraged and feeling helpless, Zara stomped her feet and turned to Liam for help. “Liam, did you hear that?! She’s so mean. She slapped me, and now she’s insulting you as well!”

Liam glared at Brianna and said, “Brianna, we have broken up. Whatever you do and how you make a living, disgracefully, is none of my business now. But Zara is my girlfriend, and you have no right to hit her.”

Scott stepped forward and looked at Liam icily. Frightened, Liam retreated a step. He dared not speak another word despite his anger.

Frustrated, Zara punched him on his chest, and reluctantly, Liam retorted, “Mr. Scott Anderson, I shall warn you that Brianna isn’t the kind of woman that you can trust. She’s going to bring bad luck.”

Scott sneered at him with disdain. “You lied to her, used her, and then dumped her. You stole her design and even managed to have her accused as the copycat. You are not just an asshole, Liam Williams. You are the asshole of the assholes.”

“You… I…” Liam was so furious that he couldn’t find his tongue. He looked at the muscular bodyguards behind Scott and Brianna and remembered that where they were now, Las Center, actually belonged to The Anderson Corporation. He was in Scott’s territory.

I’d better not anger him. He thought. Instead of shouting back at Scott, he targeted Brianna. “Brianna, you should know yourself better. You are far from good enough to be with Mr. Scott Anderson. You…”

On hearing so, Scott put his arm around Brianna’s waist, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her gently.

Liam went quiet, and Zara gasped. They were now both speechless.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Brianna smiled proudly and said, “I don’t know if I’m good enough for Scott, but I’m sure I’m too good for you, and I know for certain that you are an asshole!”

She turned around to leave, her hand in Scott’s.

“Brianna, I’ve known you since you were seven. I never ever thought you could be so arrogant and slutty. One day, you will regret it.” Liam shouted after them.

Since I was seven, I’ve always thought of him to be the best man. I’ve sacrificed so much for him, for his company. I have been a fool! Brianna thought remorsefully. She turned around, intending to shout back, yet when she saw the most familiar face and recalled that he had once saved her life after all, she said nothing.

On the way back to the company, Brianna sat in the car, looking out of the window quietly. She was deep in thought and didn’t realize that Scott was actually in a bad mood till later.

“Scott, what’s the matter?” She asked tentatively.

“What are you going to do, huh?” Scott said coldly, “You still have feelings for that asshole, don’t you? He dumped you and accused you of his new slut. They even insulted you in public, but you let him off. Wow, what a great woman you are! You have a big heart, don’t you?”

“I…” Brianna felt hurt. She stuttered, “It’s, it’s my own business. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

“Don’t forget that you are mine, every part of you, including your heart.”

“Right. I won’t forget. Since I accepted your help, I’ve never betrayed you, and I’ve been trying my best to please you.”

Scott made no reply.

Worried and frustrated, Brianna leaned close to him and wanted to kiss him, hoping to cheer him up. However, Scott pushed her away. “Don’t be pretentious.”

Brianna pouted her lips and moved away from him. She leaned on the window and looked at the passing building on the streets.
