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

Chapter 166 Yeah , Ariana replied , nodding Why else would I be here ? Brian had expected her to at least explain why she had gotten into Victors car the night before .

But to his surprise , Ariana seemed completely indifferent , showing no intention of offering her fiance any explanation .

The thought made Brian feel inexplicably stifled .

Then again , he reminded himself that if he had decided to distance himself from his feelings for Ariana , he shouldnt let her actions affect his emotions anymore .

With a cold demeanor , he said , You can leave now .

Ariana didnt bother questioning his abrupt mood shift .

She simply turned and walked out .

Outside , Emily watched her leave and couldnt help but sweat nervously .

Did Ms.

Torrey really not notice that Mr.

Lodge was upset ? Anyone else would have sensed that something was off , right ? Ariana drove straight to the Lodge residence .

Ime When Francine saw her arrive , she warmly opened the door and said , Ms.

Torrey , Mr.

Lodge instructed me to take you to the basement Alright , Ariana replied calmly .

Francine led her to the basement .

As soon as the door opened , Igor bolted forward , desperate to escape , only to be shoved back inside by Ariana .

Having been locked in the dark , airless basement for an entire day , Igor had no strength left to resist .

The push sent him sprawling helplessly to the floor .

Let me out ! Get me out of here ! he screamed hysterically .

The unpleasant odor in the basement hit Ariana immediately .

Coupled with Igors disheveled appearance , she could tell exactly how miserable his time in the basement had been .

For someone like Igor , a pampered rich boy who had never faced real hardship in life , a single day in the dark , airless basement must have felt like pure hell .

You want to go out ? Its not impossible , Ariana said , looking down at him with a cold smile .

If you can promise me youll never repeat this behavior , turn yourself in to the police after your birthday banquet , and swear to stop scheming for the family inheritance , then Ill let you go .

I agree ! I agree to everything ! Just let me out ! At that moment , Igor would have agreed to anything .

His only thought was to escape this place .

Words mean nothing .

Sign this first , Ariana said , tossing a contact onto the floor in front of him .

Igor didnt even bother reading the contents .

He scrambled up to pick it up and signed it hastily .

Satisfied with his compliance , Ariana turned to Francine and said , Ill take him with me .

Please clean up the place .

Of course , Ms.

Torrey .

As Ariana turned to leave , Igor stumbled out of the basement and ran frantically .

Although it had only been a day , his appearance was a wreck .

His face was unshaven .

His body was covered in bruises from a beating , and he reeked of sweat and filth .

Ariana pinched her nose in disgust and said , Find your own way back .

Your mother is waiting for you to celebrate 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 166 your birthday .

With that , she tossed Igors phone at him and walked away gor stood there , his expression dark with resentment as he realized Ariana had no intention of helping him further .
