Chapter 82: SHE IS NOT A SIMPLETON

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: SHE IS NOT A SIMPLETON

’This is a good sign. I don’t have to fear my brother again!’ Alice thought happily as she prepared the files for the meeting she was about to attend.

If she had known that Briar was that easy to talk to and wasn’t as difficult as she thought, she wouldn’t have wasted her time all these years.

A simple sit down and a chat would have solved all matters between them. Thankfully, Briar didn’t seem to harbor any grudges and all the grievances from the past had been dealt with.

Ding.

Just as she was about to carry her files to leave for the conference room, her phone received a message.

As a businesswoman, messages weren’t to be ignored as ignoring them might result in losses. What if it’s a major client who was calling or texting?

Carrying that kind of mind all the time, Alice fished her phone from her pocket to take a quick look.

When she swiped the screen, doubt flashed across her eyes as she saw that she had received a message from Briar.

Did she perhaps forget something?

They just parted moments ago.

Alice, unsure of what was going on and why Briar would message her, still checked the message. It might be important, after all.

However, she wasn’t prepared for what was waiting for her once the message was opened.

"A video!" she exclaimed surprisingly, now curious to see what her sister-in-law had prepared for her.

However, considering the fact that there was a meeting to go to, she decided to check it later when she had time.

Alice left the office and headed for the conference room where she found the people she was having a meeting with already seated.

As soon as she was in the room, the meeting started and it lasted for two hours.

By the time she left the conference room, she and the people she was meeting were all smiling after coming to an agreement.

With another deal signed, she was in a good mood. She couldn’t wait to celebrate later.

Alice returned to her office, that video still in her mind.

Once she was inside, she put on her earbuds and clicked on the video, ready to see what kind of joke Briar had sent. It was normal for friends to send each other such videos. She used to do so with Anna. Unfortunately, that girl was just a rotten egg. Too bad, she left for overseas before she could do anything.

Eager to watch the video, Alice clicked on it and watched for several seconds before she froze. However, just because she was frozen didn’t mean that the video would stop playing, in fact, it continued playing and the more she watched, the angrier she became.

Alice’s fingers failed to move to press the pause button. She watched angrily, as a familiar man, a man she loved with all her heart, was messing around with several women.

The man who pursued her with difficulty and promised her the moon and stars. What didn’t she do for him all these years?

They were engaged for crying out loud and yet he wasn’t satisfied with her?

She was the CEO of such a huge corporation and yet he dared to mess around with some hussies with nothing but baked makeup all over their faces?

He dared to slander her name repeatedly with those hussies while spending her money. Wasn’t it for him to be where he was right now because of her?

She invested in him, promoted him to her family and even spoke good words to them. Only then did her family agree to let them engage. After getting the benefits of being the Meyers’ son-in-law, he started messing around. How could he do this to her?

Alice was so angry that she slammed the desk angrily, making the items on the desk scatter.

When the video ended, Alice closed her eyes as she took deep breaths, trying to suppress her anger at this moment. All she wanted to do was lash out, find that son of a gun and deal with him seriously. However, she understood that haste makes waste. Without looking into the matter seriously, and confirming whether it was true or not, she might end up suffering a loss.

Besides, the source of this video was suspicious. Briar didn’t have any connections, so where did she get the video?

Was she perhaps dissatisfied with her and trying to mess her up?

Her head was all messed up. She couldn’t think straight.

She was in a state of disarray for a while, and after some thought, she decided to do one thing; confront someone.

Without wasting time, she picked up her phone and called.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

[Hello,] after several rings, a familiar voice answered.

Alice clenched her fists, as her teeth were gritted, and the veins on her hands popped. Anyone could tell that she was in a bad mood, very pissed off but doing her best to hold herself.

"Briar, can you tell me what’s going on?" she asked in a low toff, one, suppressing the urge to burst.

[It’s as you see. That bastard had been cheating on you for a very long time,] came Briar’s flat response.

"You .... If that’s true, why are you telling me that, right now?" Alice asked angrily, after hearing Briar’s response.

She just couldn’t understand why she would keep such a thing from her. This had been going on for a long time. How could she just watch?

However, Briar’s response choked her.

[How can you even ask such a question? Have you forgotten that we had just started talking today seriously? We were enemies, so why should I do you such a favor?]

"You_"

[You were plotting against me and so was I. Anyway, now that we have buried the hatch, we are now family. You losing face is equivalent to me losing face as well. So, I decided to let you know. If you don’t trust me, then have your people look into the matter.]
