Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

“No, he is way out of your league. Travis did many bad things, but he was upright and honest. He was not born in a wealthy family, that’s why he is not as sinister and hypocritical as you are.”

“You come to me to ask for something from me today, right? At least it would be best if you started bargaining now. So, why don’t you lower your attitude and start talking? You are an adult, right?”

“Oh, thank you for the reminder. I’m not bargaining anything with you. I’m here today just to remind you, play nice, and we will all be good.”

Charles smiled, “Are you threatening me on what? If you find evidence to your benefit, just do it.”

“Ah, I forgot you always let errand boys do the dirty work and take the blame. I really cannot threaten you.”

“Are you arguing for Travis? He could have used the same tricks as mine. But if he would rather lose and maintain his integrity, I won’t refuse that. The world will always remember the winner, no? I learned this sentence from you.”

Their dialogue went on, and Arianna generally understood what the conversation was about.

According to Susan, Charles and Travis knew each other long ago. Susan wanted Arianna to know Travis never harmed Charles, but Charles began regarding Travis as his enemy when he was a teenager, and he even used his family’s power to suppress Travis, which suggested that Charles was a narrow-minded and sinister person full of lies. This time, Charles planned to frame Travis.

Susan added, “Don’t use your family to cover you up. Travis had a good relationship with the person who you defeated, but he never really harmed you. After all, you just cannot stand that there is someone better than you all along.”

Charles sneered, “So, Travis is always the angel in your mind.”

Arianna was bored by their conversation because she was not interested in some old personal clashes between others.

Then Charles continued, “Hey, Susan, in fact, we are always the same kind of people. You depreciated yourself when you did it to me.”

“I am certainly not the same type as you. You are a hypocrite, and I am just a small villain. I never denied what I did, and I never pretended. But you really need to hold your horse now before everything goes ugly. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

“Speaking of Chester Luke, I know well who cajoled Chester to extort Arianna and who deliberately misled Boss Lee. Do you think you are the only one innocent and clean here? You should hold your horse first.”

“Wow, you know everything.” Susan’s tone was exaggerated.

“I just can’t guess your motives. Did you do those things to let the girl be with Travis forever? But why did you marry him? And if you did that only because you hated her, you should not have endured her until now. Or have you been waiting to watch the show? To see what Travis would do and what I would do?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“It turns out you are the one who knows me best after all these years.”

“Susan, don’t play in front of me. I admit that I really wanted to use Arianna to contain Travis, in which I succeeded, but I really want to marry her. I suggest you change your target if you want to find a mistress for your husband. You don’t know Arianna well. She doesn’t care about a lot of things. And Travis will not appreciate what you’ve done. He said, “I’m glad to admit defeat” to me yesterday. So, save your words to yourself. I think you had been longing for the position of Travis Cooper’s wife for many years, right?”

Just when Arianna wanted to delete this audio file on the computer, Travis’s voice appeared and scared her all of a sudden from another file.

The other audio file was Travis’s telephone recording made by Susan, and only Travis’s voice was present.

“Charles, you know well I’ve been avoiding conflicts with you all these years. You helped my mom and me before, which I appreciated. But you should not press on with this advantage. I admit I owe the girl a lot, but our relationship before has nothing to do with you because it came before you showed up. If you really want to marry her, don’t use this excuse to treat her badly.”

“Yes, last time I took a step back because I don’t want to give you a reason to ill-treat the girl. I will offer you your favorite piece of land, and you are welcome to destroy any project of my company. And the benefits you got by doing such things shall be my gift for your wedding.”

“I don’t want to fight with you. I never wanted to, and I never will. You are right that I am truly sorry. I would not have given up on her if she had given me the slightest chance. But now that I’m married, there is no turning back. So, you don’t need to guard against her or me.”

“I find no fun playing with you. What do you want exactly? If you want a duel, I can meet your wish, and we can solve it once and for all. But don’t use Arianna as a chip. You will get nothing if she gets completely desperate toward men. Karma is a bitch. I can feel it now. You should start feeling it too.”

Arianna dropped the headset and thought for a while. She pried open the audio player with a tool, pulled out the circuit board, and destroyed it from a structural level. Then she tossed the audio player case into the drawer and continued her office work. Not being able to judge Susan’s intention, Arianna decided she would simply ignore the gift.

However, in the evening, after Arianna had returned home, Susan sent a multimedia message to Arianna’s phone with her stranger’s number saying, “Happy Birthday.”

After a few seconds, Arianna dialed the number, and it was Susan who picked up the phone, her answering tone light and elegant like usual saying. “Do you like the little gift from me?”

“Thank you.” Arianna’s tone was stiff.

“Hey, your reaction is really strange. You are so special. No wonder they both like you.”

Arianna gnashed her teeth and said, “Susan, Mrs. Cooper… I never slandered your husband in front of you. And why did you do that to my fiancé…” Arianna stopped talking when she realized her wording was not accurate.
