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

Chapter 136 Mr.

Lodge , It seems you have no evidence to back your claims , so please dont block the way .

We still need to get to class , Just as Ariana was about to slip past Brian , he reached out and grabbed her arm .

Ariana glanced at his hand on her arm and frowned .

Mr.

Ledge , please be mindful .

I didnt sign my body away to the Lodge family .

With that , she led Selena away without another word .

Brian was momentarily stunned by her remark .

Beside him , Emily couldnt help but ask , Mr.

Lodge , could we have misunderstood Ms.

Torrey ? Brian clenched his fists tightly .

Misunderstanding or not , Arianas attitude just now left him feeling deeply annoyed .

Go and ask Fiona whats really going on ! Yes , Mr.

Lodge .

Emily quickly led a team upstairs , while Brian rubbed his temples , fatigue setting in .

Meanwhile , Selena , still reeling from Arianas confrontation with Brian , exclaimed , Ari , Ive known you for many years , and I have to say , that was the coolest thing youve ever done ! Brian treating you like a pawn all this time made my blood boil ! But youve finally come to your senses ! Yeah , Ive finally come around .

After all , having survived death once , how could she not ? At that moment , Arianas phone rang .

She was about to hang up when she saw it was Gwen , but she paused and reconsidered .

Finally , she answered the call .

On the other end , Gwen greeted her in an ingratiating tone , Ari ! Are you at the Lodge residence now ? Is Mr.

Lodge there ? Im at school .

Hearing this , Gwens tone immediately shifted to one of disapproval .

Youre the future Mrs.

Lodge ! Why are you still attending classes ? Gosh , youre so naive and slow sometimes ! Listening to Gwens nagging complaints , Arianas patience wore thin .

She curtly replied , Ms.

Lambert , I shall hang up If theres nothing else .

Before she could end the call , Gwen hastily stopped her , Wait ! Dont hang up yet ! Im not done ! In Arianas silence , Gwen hesitated before awkwardly revealing her true intentions .

Ari , you know Igors birthday is coming up soon .

I was thinking of throwing a grand birthday party for him .

What do you think ? Go ahead if you want to celebrate Igors birthday .

Why are you asking me ? Well … The event hall at the Royal Hotel needs to be booked in advance .

And you know I dont have much money .

Now that the company is under you… 1.2 # 26 BONUS Chapter 136 As Gwens words trailed off , Arianas gaze grew colder .

The Royal Hotel ? Who would throw a 19th birthday party in the halls of the Royal Hotel ? Money alone could not secure that venue .

It was reserved for business leaders and respectable , prominent figures in society .

How dare Igor , an immature boy , think of hosting his birthday there ? It was laughable ! I know its a bit of a big ask , Gwen continued , but now that youre Brian Lodges fiancée , shouldnt you offer Igor a little of your glory ? Its about proving the status of the Torrey family ! At this point , Gwens tone even took on a hint of pride .

Ariana nonchalantly examined her freshly done nails .

She replied , Ms.

Lambert , you must be joking .

I cant afford to rent a venue like that .

No worries ! Mr.

Lodge surely can afford it , even if you can ! All you need to do is ask nicely .

Then , we can book the hall at the Royal Hotel without issue !
