His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 575

"Arianna, where were you that night?" Brittany asked calmly.

"Oh, that night. I drank a little too much and was tired, so I went to rest. Besides, I wanted to make sure you had a good time. I didn't expect to fall asleep." Arianna scratched her head. "I'm sorry about that! What happened that night?"

Brittany did not answer straight away. Instead, she studied Ariana's face, trying to see if she would slip up. However, even under Brittany's scrutiny, Arianna was calm and did not falter. She even blinked innocently, looking puzzled.

"I wanted to ask why the paparazzi were there at half past nine when they were supposed to come at ten. Now, it seems like I didn't even need to ask," Brittany said lightly after a moment of silence.

"Huh? What?" Arianna exclaimed as her eyes widened. "Did they come at half past nine? Why were they so early?"

"Exactly. Why were they so early?" With a slight smile, Brittany lowered her head and said, "Maybe it's providence, or maybe it's a punishment for my ignorance."

Arianna reached out to grab Brittany's hands and asked worriedly, "Brittany, what's wrong with you?"

Brittany looked at the pair of hands that held hers and slowly withdrew her hands. Then, she shook her head and said, "Nothing, Arianna. Today, I learned how clever you are. You're smarter than the Arianna Tanner that I used to know. You really are."

"What do you mean smarter than the Arianna Tanner you used to know? Brittany, I don't understand anything you're saying today." Arianna's eyes were as wide as saucers and were even a little watery.

Her gaze would immediately give off an innocent appearance. She looked dazed and confused as she blinked at Brittany.
