My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 71

Patrick and his group of friends would often bet on whether Brian’s new girlfriend would be the one to end his single life, but anyone who took that bet was destined to lose.

The man was living the single life-and loving it.

Brian was the sort of person who appeared to be courteous to others on the surface, but in reality, he never warmed up to anyone. Patrick had known him long enough to know that Brian didn’t even like most people. Sure, Brian played the part and his impeccable manners compelled him to make small talk and be seen with all the right people, but Patrick knew that Brian didn’t give two shits for the social scene.

For Brian, it was all just a means to an end.

Emily, Brian’s latest girlfriend, who was also a rising star in the entertainment industry, approached them. She was stunning -but that was to be expected-and popular, both within their circles and the larger entertainment community.

Of course, this was all thanks to Brian.

Brian was the heir to the largest entertainment company in the country, and it was very easy for him to make anyone a star.

He’d done it several times.

Come to think of il, maybe that was why he had so many girlfriends. Why settle down with one when there was an endless stream of young women seeking fortune and fame?

Was it because of that dynamic that Brian didn’t take any single one of these women seriously?

Patrick didn’t know.

He did know that Brian had doted on every single one of his girlfriends, but when he stopped caring for them, there was no coming back from the breakup.

And the countless magazines and gossip columns in the city were quick to point that out too.
