Chapter 555

After turning out the lights, Edward and the others left the area. The tranquility of the garden surrounding Lily's new office had been restored. Suddenly, another car was spotted parked in the backyard, hidden from view by a tree.

Both women in the car wore very different expressions. Brittany's eyes were red, and her hands tightly gripped the steering wheel. She desperately tried to hold back her emotions, but her heaving chest betrayed her distress.

Brittany never thought she would witness this scene. She knew the woman was special to Alexander, but she had no idea he would go to such lengths for her. He truly loved her.

From Brittany's perspective, she should have been the woman in the scene—the roses, the ring, the romantic lights, even the helicopter! Why was Alexander treating that woman so lovingly? How was Lily better than her?

Arianna, in the passenger seat, remained calm and collected. She even turned on the car's lights, pulled out her compact mirror, and began touching up her makeup, saying, "How romantic! Looks like the rumors about Alexander being stone-cold and no fun are false. We shouldn't believe rumors!"

"Can you shut up?!" Brittany snapped.

Arianna stopped applying lipstick and glanced at Brittany. "Look at you. Is it worth being this angry? They're spending quality time together, and you're out here, jealous. Is this really worth it?"

"I don't need your lecture!" Brittany retorted, hurt by Arianna's words.

"I'm not lecturing you; I'm trying to help," Arianna sighed, tidying her cosmetics. "Let him go and move on, or try your luck. What's the point of hesitating? By the time you decide, they'll have kids!"

Brittany was shocked. "Are you saying she's pregnant?!"

"What?" Arianna was taken aback. "UmI'm not sure. I meant that if you continue like this, they'll have kids before you act. Judging by the Russell family situation, her position would be secure only with a child, right? If Alexander has a child, it will be the Russell family's most valuable grandchild!"

Brittany's eyes lit up. "That's right! A child! Why didn't I think of that?!"

Arianna turned to her wide-eyed. "What do you want to do?"

"Arianna, I need to get pregnant. If I'm pregnant with his child, he won't leave me," Brittany said, sounding desperate.

"Didn't you say you've never even held hands? How could you be pregnant?" Arianna was confused.

Brittany smiled slyly. "You taught me." Arianna blinked. "What did I teach you?"

"Your father has a mistress, right? He couldn't dump her just because she had a child, even if it's illegitimate." Arianna's expression changed, but she nodded. "Yes, but it doesn't mean she'll be part of our family!"
