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

Chapter 144 That evening , Brian returned to the Lodge residence .

Noticing only Francine was around , he asked , Wheres Ariana ? Ms.

Torrey ? She hasnt come back yet today , Francine replied .

Shes still not back ? Brian glanced at the clock in the living room .

Its already 10:00 pm .

What kind of class goes this late ? Francine hesitated .

Maybe … Maybe theres an event ? What kind of event would a university have this late ? Brian frowned and pulled out his phone to call Ariana .

The phone rang before it was hung up .

Very well ! Francine noticed the change in Brians expression and thought of saying something on Arianas behalf .

Before she could speak , Brian ordered , Throw everything in Arianas room out .

Throw … Throw it out ? Francine froze in shock .

Those were Arianas belongings ! If she doesnt want to stay here , then let her leave .

Brian suffed .

Thinking of what Isaac had said , Brian realized he was paying far more attention to Ariana than he would like .

The thought of her possibly using the same tactics to manipulate Victor and William only deepened his frustration .

So , she wanted to play hard to get ? Fine .

He would let her lose the game completely .

Brian decided he would show Ariana she shouldnt mess with him .

He would ignore her and see how long her facade would last .

He was certain she would come running back to him eventually .

Later that evening , Francine decided to inform Ariana of what had happened .

At the time , Ariana was at the Torrey residence , coordinating plans to meet Evelyn .

Upon hearing Francines update , Ariana shrugged .

If he wants to throw them out , let him .

None of it is that important .

She sounded indifferent .

Those items were replaceable .

If Brian wanted to toss them , he was only saving her the trouble of moving .

Francine was surprised by Arianas lack of concern .

Could it be … This wasnt a plot ? Did Ariana not like Brian ? After Ariana ended the call , she received another one from Evelyn .

Ms.

Torrey , what do you mean by the message you sent ? Evelyn was skeptical Ms.

Granger , Ive already moved out of the Lodge residence .

Brian has even thrown out all my belongings .

I think thats proof enough of my sincerity , right ? Ariana said .

Evelyn frowned on the other end of the line .

For the past few days , Brian hadnt reached out to her , and they hadnt been talking ever since the rumors about Ariana .

Evelyn assumed Arianas request to meet was for a confrontation .

She hadnt expected Ariana to willingly leave Brian .

It didnt add up .

Ariana continued , Ms.

Granger , I have no intention of competing with you for Brians attention .

Im even willing to help you with some business connections .

Mr.

Smith is interested in one of your familys properties .

If you can meet with him , I believe a partnership between your families wouldnt be out of reach .

+25 BONUS Chapter 144 Why are you being so generous ? Evelyn couldnt believe that Ariana would introduce someone as influential as Victor to her .

Ariana hummed .

Its up to you to believe it or not .

Ive done enough to anger Brian .

I hope youll reconsider .
