Both Scott and Chris' bodyguards stood aside and watched cautiously. There was only limited space in the room, and even if the bodyguards wanted to help, they couldn't squeeze in.

There were a few times when Brianna felt fists flying right next to her cheek, and her heart was racing fast, frightened. Brianna had learned how good Scott was, and she was very impressed, but little did she expect Chris, who seemed so calm and elegant, to be another Kong Fu master. Hugging Brianna with one arm, Scott wasn't as swift as Chris, and suddenly, Chris threw a fierce punch towards Scott. Brianna screamed and held up her palms, intending to block Chris's punch.

Both Scott and Chris were shocked, and at the very same time, Chris retreated his fist while Scott covered Brianna's hands with his.

That brought an end to the fight.

"Didn't you want to leave me? Why did you try to take the punch for me then?" Scott chuckled and teased.

"I, I didn't mean to...it just happened," Brianna explained feebly.

"Didn't you?" Scott embraced her in his arms and planted a kiss on her lips. Brianna opened her eyes wide, shocked by the fact that he was kissing her so suddenly and right in front of Sol Keaton. She was too shocked to respond.

Scott took the chance and played with her tongue, then after a while, he bit it slightly as a punishment. Brianna exclaimed out of pain.

Sol stared at them in disbelief, and she had to lean onto the door to support herself. During the three years while they were together, Scott had never kissed her on her lips, but only cheeks and forehead. Does he really love me? Has he been so nice to me just to return the favor? She used to think that it was both love and gratitude, but now she wasn't sure anymore.

As if Chris had heard her doubts, he asked, "Mr. Anderson, you don't love Brianna, but why won't you let her go?"

"Who says that I don't love her?" Scott retorted.

Brianna stared at Scott again in disbelief. What did he say just then? Does that mean he loves me?

Sol felt a sudden and intense pain in her heart. She shook her head and exclaimed frantically, "No! Scott! Am I not the one you love?!"

Chris sneered. "Perhaps you don't really know what love is or who you actually love, Mr. Anderson. You have searched all around the world to look for Sol Keaton, but now that she's back, you want to keep Brianna with you. How interesting and confusing!"

"What has it got to do with you, whoever I love? You don't have the excuse to seduce Brianna. Before I divorce her, she's still my wife, and no one can take her away from me."

"But it's just her face that you like, isn't it? Your real love is back now. You don't have any reasons to keep her." Chris went on.

"She's my wife. She's mine. I can have her for as long as l like. Aside from that, we haven't divorced yet, and here you are trying to take her away," Scott said clearly.

Chris chuckled and mocked, "Ha-ha. Your wife. Right! What about Sol Keaton, then? Is she your mistress? You must be kidding, having two women in your life, what a great deal,"

This was what bothered Scott the most. If he kept Brianna, he would surely upset Sol, but he couldn't let Brianna go and marry Sol.

He could still recall clearly the first time he met Brianna, and he helped her merely for the reason that she looked like Sol. He was so certain that as soon as he found Sol, he would kick Brianna out. He didn't marry her for love for sure. However, he now realized things had changed, and he couldn't let her go.

As long as he thought about Brianna leaving him and being with another man, he felt terribly irritated. It hurt him to think about it.

"Isn't it what you've always wanted to do, to find Sol, love her, and marry her? She's right behind you now. All you need to do is divorce, Brianna. I happen to like Brianna and her talent in design. I can take good care of her and help her with her career. Isn't it just perfect for both of us? For all of us, actually."

Sol nodded and said tentatively. "Scott, what Mr. Butler said makes sense to me. Why are you hesitating? Don't you want to be with me?"

Scott was silent for a while, then he said gently, "Sol, I will sort it out with her. Please give me some more time."

Sol didn't want to be too pushy. She nodded and said, "Take your time. I trust you."

Brianna said nothing.

Scott grabbed her chin and turned her head up to face him. "Tell me, are you tempted by Mr. Butler's offer that he will marry you and help you with your career? Will you accept?" He asked her, looking into her eyes.

Brianna shook her head.

"Why?"

"My heart is only big enough for one man."

There was a delight in Scott's eyes. He looked at Chris and said confidently, "Did you hear that, Mr. Butler?"

Chris didn't seem surprised or disappointed. He smiled and said casually, "As expected. I hope you made up your mind soon, Mr. Anderson, so I can have my next move."

With one arm around Brianna's waist, Scott walked towards the door. An idea came to Brianna's mind, and she said cleverly, "Mr. Butler, I will pay back the money you paid for my mum's treatment as soon as I can."

"He paid for your mum's treatment?" Scott stopped and asked her.

"Yes, for the coming five years."

Scott turned to Levi and said, "Ask for Mr. Butler's bank account number and transfer the money to him."

"Yes, Mr. Anderson," Levi said.

Scott held her tighter and walked out of the room.

"Brianna, I have plenty of patience for you," Chris said with a smile.
