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

Chapter 150 A phone rang inside Lodge Co.

Brian glanced at his plone on the desk and saw it was a call from Ariana .

Brian instinctively wanted to answer .

But just as his hand reached out , he stopped .

Answering so quickly would make him seem too eager .

He couldnt let Ariana think she could manipulate him .

He recalled how he had ignored her calls countless times before .

So , now , he decided to leave her hanging for a moment .

Finally , just as the ringing was about to stop , he picked up the call and feigned impatience .

What do you want ?! There was no response from the other side , only the faint sound of car engines in the background .

Brian frowned .

Ariana ? A second later , the call was abruptly cut off .

Brians frown deepened and he returned the call .

But this time , the phone was turned off .

His expression darkened .

He called for Emily .

Emily , come in ! Yes , Mr.

Lodge ? Emily entered , only to see Brian grabbing his coat .

Whats going on ? Find out where Ariana has been today , Brian ordered .

Yes , Mr.

Lodge .

Emily quickly dialed Gwens number , but before she could speak , Brian snatched the phone and asked directly , Where is Ariana ? Ariana ? Gwen replied in confusion .

She went out this afternoon .

Why ? Isnt she with you ? Realizing Gwen had no idea of Arianas whereabouts , Brian hung up .

Gwen was puzzled , Where could Ariana have gone ? In the underground garage , Brian tossed his phone back to Emily .

Check if Ariana went shopping or visited any restaurants today .

Based on Gwens information , Ariana had left in the afternoon , so she might currently be dining somewhere .

Just then , a car entered the garage , and Evelyn stepped out .

Brian ! Brian stopped .

He turned and frowned at Evelyn .

Why are you here ? I … I came to pick you up from work , Evelyn tried to keep her tone light .

She didnt want to bring up how Victor and Ariana humiliated her at the restaurant earlier .

But she was still upset and decided to seek comfort in Brian .

However , he remained indifferent .

I have something to do today.

You should head back first .

It was rare for Brian to reject her .

Sensing his urgency , she asked , Did something happen ? Not wanting to keep her in the dark , Brian explained , Ariana is missing .

Missing ? Evelyn feigned surprise .

How could she go missing ? Brian picked up on her subtle reaction .

Do you know where she is ? Evelyn hesitated .

She had been with Ariana earlier but grew wary remembering the incident with Victor .

+25 BONUS Chapter 150 She couldnt let Brian know she had met with Victor .

If he found out , especially after their conflict at the auction , he might question her motives for meeting Victor .
