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

Chapter 139 Yes .

Gwen gave Jonathan a bnce over , her gaze sharp as she realized he was only an assistant manager .

She said , Didnt I request to reserve seats in the event hall ? Is everything ready ? I want to inspect the venue .

Hearing this , Jonathan offered an apologetic smile and replied , Mrs.

Torrey , Im really sorry , but the event hall is currently fully booked , and it may not be possible to make arrangements for you .

Fully booked ? Gwen frowned , her tone sharp .

How is that possible ? When I called earlier , your receptionist said there were still seats available .

Jonathan smiled awkwardly and explained , There were sears earlier , but … A gentleman has since reserved all our halls .

So … But Gwen wasnt willing to let it go .

Her face darkened as she retorted , Mr.

Rhys , do you take me for a fool ? There are only a handful of well known figures in this city , and I havent heard of anyone hosting a large event .

Besides , this isnt exactly an affordable venue for most .

How much did they pay ? Ill offer double ! Mrs.

Torrey , its not about the money … Seeing Jonathans troubled expression , Gwens voice rose .

She demanded , What do you mean its not about the money ? Are you saying the Torrey family isnt good enough ? Does the Royal Hotel look down on our family ? Her voice grew louder by the second , her naturally commanding tone drawing the attention of nearby guests .

Jonathan tried to calm her .

Mrs.

Torrey , Im not making this up .

The hall has already been reserved … I dont care if someone else reserved it first ! I called before them , and you should know that our Ariana is about to marry into the Lodge family soon .

That will make me Brian Lodges mother in law ! Youre aware of that familys standing in this city , arent you ? I suggest you think it over .

You might not be able to handle the consequences if you offend me ! Gwens remarks were sharp and relentless .

When she brought up Brians name , Jonathan looked even more uneasy .

He said , Mrs.

Torrey , its not that Im turning you down on purpose , its just … Just what ? Gwen sneered .

Id love to know whos as wealthy and daring as to reserve all your halls .

Bring them out ! Let me see for myself .

Ill offer double , and I refuse to believe I cant réserve them ! Whats all the commotion ? A sudden voice interrupted Gwens tirade .

The moment she heard the voice , her expression stiffened .

William Kingsman stepped out calmly , his presence immediately drawing attention .

Seeing him , Gwens composure faltered , and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes William was Brians sworn rival .

Why would he , of all people , reserve so many halls in Gleason ? Jonathan quickly moved to Williams side and explained to him , Mr.

Kingsman , Mrs.

Torrey here wishes to reserve a hall out of all the event halls you have booked .

I was discussing possible solutions .

Mrs.

Torrey has offered to pay double if youre willing to give up one hall .

Forcing a smile , Gwen quickly said , Mr.

Kingsman , youve arrived at just the right time ! I know youve always been on good terms with our Ariana .

You see , its Aris little brothers birthday soon , and I was hoping you might be willing to let us use one of the event halls … Surely , you wouldnt say no to that , right ? Her tone had softened .

Her earlier arrogance was replaced by a nervous deference .

After all , both William and Brian were titans in the business world .

Gwen knew she couldnt afford to offend William .
