A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 104 The two guards exchanged hesitant glances , clearly uncertain .

Apologies , Ms.

Granger .

Why dont you give Mr.

Lodge a call ? If he comes to escort you personally, well be happy to let you in , one of the guards said .

You … Evelyn couldnt believe the two security guards had the nerve to give her attitude .

Left with no choice , she pulled out her phone and dialed Brians number .

The phone rang and rang , but no one picked up .

Frustrated she tried calling Emily next , only to be met with the same result .

At that moment , a few ladies walked out from the hall chatting loudly .

Wow , Ariana really knows how to put on a show .

Did you see how entranced Mr.

Lodge looked while watching her dance ? I thought Mr.

Lodge was completely devoted to Evelyn .

Since when did he get so close to Ariana ? Who knows ? Ariana must have some serious tricks up her sleeve .

No man can resist a woman throwing herself at him like that .

Their gossip hit Evelyn like a slap , igniting a fresh wave of anger .

Ariana again ! How shameless could she get ? Fuming , Evelyn made a move to storm inside , but the security guards quickly stopped her .

Ms.

Granger , please dont make this difficult for us ! Get out of my way ! Let me in ! Evelyn shouted .

The thought of Brian and Ariana together inside was driving her mad .

The guards were not able to stop her as she forced her way into the venue .

The moment Evelyn burst through the doors of the ballroom , all eyes turned to her .

She stood in the doorway , her disheveled appearance drawing immediate attention .

Her hair was messy , and she looked anything but composed .

Upon seeing her , Brians brows furrowed in irritation .

Eve ? The crowd exchanged curious and judgemental glances .

The contrast between Evelyns current state and Arianas earlier poised and magnetic presence was glaring Mindful of the onlookers , Brian strode over to Evelyn , grabbing her arm .

Why are you here ? His tone was tinged with displeasure .

Evelyn bit her lip .

I just … I was worried you didnt have a date .

Her voice trembled slightly as her eyes darted to the dance floor , where Ariana had just finished her performance .

But it seems I was wrong , she added with a touch of bitterness .

Seeing Evelyn turn to leave , Brian felt a twinge of guilt .

His voice softened as he said , Since youre here , you might as well stay .

Evelyn raised her teary eyes to meet his .

What about Ms.

Torrey ? Brian let out a cold laugh .

She doesnt need me to enjoy herself .

The charity auction hadnt even started , and Ariana was already dancing in the center of the floor .

It seemed she was born to be a social butterfly- perfectly suited for capturing mens attention in a place like this .

+25 BONUS Chapter 104 Taking the opportunity , Evelyn slid her arm through Brians and clung on to him .

Brian , Im only thinking of whats best for you .

Ariana isnt suited for these events .

She doesnt know how to network with those important people , and Ive always been the one to accompany you on these occasions .

Its better if I stay by your side .

Hm , Brian answered calmly .

It was true- Ariana was nothing more than a spoiled socialite without real skills .

Evelyn , on the other hand , had always been the better fit at mingling and socializing with these business people alongside Brian .
