"Hunter, search her."

Ariana stood rooted to the spot. Hunter stepped forward to frisk her.

Ariana frowned. "I'm Brian's fiancée. Shouldn't you have someone else to do this?"

"Good point," Victor said nonchalantly.

Ariana thought he would fetch a female staff member. Instead, he walked toward her and said, "I'll do it myself." "You..."

Before she could finish, he began checking her for anything suspicious. Only once he confirmed she wasn't carrying anything problematic did he allow her into his presidential suite.

Once inside, Ariana took a look around the luxury suite. It was probably the most basic presidential suite in all of Gleaston. The place was oddly simple. Even the bed seemed little more than a wooden plank. Not to mention Victor, even an average middle-class worker wouldn't want to stay here. The facilities were old, the furnishings were crude, and worst of all, it was absurdly overpriced.

Victor got straight to the point. He tossed a stack of documents onto the table in front of Ariana.

She bent down to pick them up. The papers contained the entire file on 120 Haddon Street-land owned by the Grangers.

Victor intended to buy that land and build a branch of his corporation in Gleaston. The goal was to channel his overseas assets into the country and make them legitimate essentially laundering money. Ariana asked, "Why show me this, Mr. Smith?"

Seeing her feign ignorance, Victor leaned back on the couch "Nobody knows I came to Gleaston to purchase that plot on Haddon Street. I'm curious how you found out I want it."

Even Hunter had no clue about it.

Of course, Ariana knew exactly what Victor planned to do with the property.

In her previous life, he'd met Evelyn and fallen for her instantly. Though he'd intended to buy the land at a low price, he drove it up tenfold just to catch Evelyn's attention. It caused a stir throughout Gleaston. But none o land.

of that had happened yet, so aside from Ariana and Victor, nobody was paying attention to that piece of Ariana said, "Let's just say I made a lucky guess."

She couldn't exactly admit she had been resurrected. Nobody would ever believe that.

Victor's eyes narrowed as he studied her face. Clearly, he didn't believe her.

"I have plenty of ways to make you talk, Ms. Torrey. Do you want to try it?"

Ariana noticed Hunter looked ready to move in. She quickly said, "You want to get close to Evelyn to purchase that land, right? I can help!!

At the mention of Evelyn, Victor arched a brow. "Oh?"

He was interested in Evelyn for the sake of the land, and also because she was Brian's woman. But how did Ariana know?
