His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 489

At first, she was a little confused about what Arianna was saying.

"What should I do, then?" Brittany asked. She felt a spark of courage in her that was slowly filling her up. She was no longer as confused as she was before.

"Brittany, you're beautiful. The room lights up when you walk in. It would be best if you made him notice you," Arianna said as she bent down, whispering almost by Brittany's cheek. Then Arianna suddenly snapped before Brittany could even react. "But!"

"But, what?" Brittany's heart trembled at the sound of that.

"It's too late for you now! You've done too much for him, and he no longer cares about you. No matter what you do now, he won't change the inherent impression he has of you. Besides, now you have competition, and you're running out of time. This won't work for you."

Then, Arianna let go of Brittany and sat in front of the dressing table, slowly putting on her hand cream.

Arianna had always been meticulous in her self-care. Hence her skin had always been flawless. Although she was not as beautiful as Brittany, her fair and delicate plump skin overshadowed her plain looks, and Brittany could not compare to her in this aspect.

As Brittany watched Arianna quietly lower her head and smear the hand cream with a severe face, Brittany started to get anxious. "What should I do? You said it wasn't a big deal and that a divorce could still happen even if they got married. It's just an engagement now. What do you mean it's too late?!"

Hearing this, Arianna turned her head to look at Brittany and sighed helplessly. "There is a way, but I'm afraid you don't have the courage to do it."

"I don't have the courage?! Who says I don't dare to do it?!" At this moment, Brittany felt nothing could hold her back from being with Alexander.

"Really?" Arianna raised her eyebrow as she turned to face Brittany. With a smile on Arianna's face, she said, "Why are you so slow? Don't you know who Alexander is? Don't you know how big of a deal it would be for him to get married? He'll have to go through his family before he can marry anyone."

The marriage of such a renowned family would require the agreement of the elders and relatives of the family. It was like an election. If Brittany became the preferred candidate, she would win the race. Initially, Brittany was seriously tuning in to what Arianna was saying, but after hearing it, Brittany shook her head in disappointment. "No, Arianna, you don't know anything about him or the Russell family." "What do you mean?" Arianna questioned.

"Your plan might work if this was another family, but it's not the case for Alex!" As Brittany spoke, she gazed into the distance as her thoughts drifted. "Alex is currently the patriarch of the Russel family. I know how much he had to go through to be where he is now. Even though he has quite a few elders in the Russel family, he is, by no means, someone their manipulation would sway.

"In other words, none of the family member's opinions can influence his decision. It is because of this that Alexander is so special. No one dares to challenge him." Therefore, no one could change Alexander's mind if he wanted to get engaged.

As Brittany talked about Alexander, admiration was evident on her face. Arianna could not fathom it as she watched Brittany talk.

Arianna had met Alexander twice. Although he was very handsome, he seemed to have a cold demeanor and was very hard to approach. She knew that even though she had greeted him the two times they met, he did not remember her.

The Tanner family was also wealthy, and growing up in such an environment allowed Arianna to hone her awareness of how these families would fight and scheme against each other. She also knew that it was challenging to try and survive.

Back then, her uncle, Derrick, was the actual patriarch of the family. Although her father, Joseph, had shares in the company and properties under his name, he still had to succumb to Derrick in the end. As for Arianna, no matter how capable she was, she would still be second to Benedict.
