Chapter 597
“Aren’t you worried I might turn on you?” Bryan asked, glancing over at Elizabeth as they waited at a red light.
Elizabeth smiled, her tone unwavering. “Even if you get angry, you wouldn’t really turn on me.” Right now, things weren’t looking good for the Wilson family. Ronald didn’t trust Bryan like before, and Carmen had joined the fray as another rival.
Even though Carmen was still naive and no real threat to him yet, she was not someone to be taken lightly, especially with the Diamonde Group backing her.
Elizabeth was Bryan’s fiancée in name, and as his ally, even if this partnership with Alvin didn’t work out, Bryan couldn’t just cut her off unless he was ready to give up Lawson Group’s support.
Bryan suddenly felt a surge of irritation. It was all because of Aubree, this unpredictable variable who had stirred up so much trouble. Now, he had to second-guess every move, and he couldn’t even afford to fall out with Elizabeth.
Bryan rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and after a moment said, “Yeah, you introduced me to Alvin, but there would be no consequences for you even if things didn’t work out between Alvin and I. Yet if our alliance succeeds, there’s much to gain for you.”
If Bowen really did fall out with Aubree, it would be the perfect chance for Elizabeth to take advantage of.
Elizabeth brushed her hair back. “I’ll make sure Bowen knows I’m the woman who truly deserves to stand by his side.”
Bryan glanced at her just as the light turned green. He stubbed out his cigarette and started the car again. Even if Aubree wasn’t around, Bryan was certain Bowen would never choose Elizabeth.
But there was no need for Bryan to point that out to her.
After dropping Elizabeth off at the Lawson family’s place, Bryan headed back to the Wilson family’s home.
It was late by the time he got back. Bryan figured everyone would be asleep, but when he walked in, he noticed a soft, yellow light still on in a corner of the living room.
The butler, Benson, was sitting there, his head propped up, dozing off.
“Uncle Benson, why aren’t you in your room sleeping?” Bryan asked.
Benson jolted awake, and when he saw Bryan, he quickly said, “I was waiting for you, sir.”
“Waiting for me?” Bryan was puzzled.
Just because Aubree had left with Bowen didn’t mean the drama at the Wilson family was over.
After she left, Daxton insisted that Trevor apologize to Carmen. Trevor, of course, wasn’t about to back down, and the two almost got into a fight. If Mark hadn’t called the police in time to stop them and take Trevor away, the brothers might still be at it.
With Trevor taken away, Daxton was fuming. He took Carmen to the hospital to get her back injury treated and hadn’t come home since. He probably took her to stay somewhere else for the night.
As for Ronald and Alice, there hadn’t been any more drama between them, but there were definitely things to be worried about.
Benson sighed, thinking about the way they looked at each other at the end. “Madam Alice still hasn’t come back. Because of everything happening with Miss Carmen, she even said that if it comes to it, she’d divorce Mr. Wilson just to protect Miss Carmen.”
“What?” Bryan was stunned.
