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

Chapter 204 Ms.

Torrey , please enjoy .

Victor gestured at the dishes before them .

Staring at the T bone steak with blood seeping out of the meat , Arlana lost her appetite .

Mr.

Smith , Im not hungry .

Technically , she would never eat dinner .

Apart from the few times she had to attend social events , she usually did not take dinner .

Victor sat from across her and placed his slender fingers on the table .

He gently swirled the contents in the wine glass , saying , Do you know what happened to the last guy who tried to read my mind ? She remained silent .

He went 011 , I hate it when people try to read me .

I despise hose who think theyre smart .

You should feel thankful that I decided to work with you instead of getting rid of you .

Well , Im beyond grateful to you .

Ariana couldnt even force a smile .

She had tried to get Victor to work with Evelyn , but he pulled her into this mess instead .

She wondered what Victor saw in her .

Although Evelyn was the only daughter of the Granger family , Evelyn was blessed with a vast social network and wealth .

Had it not been for the fractured relationship between the Grangers and Lodges , Belinda might even approve of Evelyn as her future daughter in law .

When it came to looks , Evelyn was considered outstanding , especially in Gleaston .

In the past life , Victor fell i love with Evelyn at first sight .

Now , Evelyn had generously offered Victor a parcel of land worth 100 million dollars .

Why did he turn it down ? Ever since Ariana was reborn , everything around her seemed to have spiraled out of order , except for Gwen and Igor the dumb mother and son She rubbed her forehead .

Sounding tired , she said , Mr.

Smith , I hope you could think over it- Weve signed the contract .

Theres nothing more to think over .

He arched a brow .

Are you scared ? I- You should have known not to mess with me in the first place .

Ariana was aware of Victors notoriety .

He was from the underworld a heartless , unreasonable man who did not go by the rules .

Dealing with a man like Victor came with high risks .

But Ariana didnt have another choice back when she had signed the contract .

She couldnt risk having Evelyn benefit from the deal with Victor .

That would mean going through the same timeline from her past life , and she might end up dead .

Mr.

Smith , youre kidding me , How would I be scared of a friendly man like you ….

While speaking , she silently rolled her eyes at her own behavior .

She thought , Ariana Torrey , the first thing you mastered after your rebirth is to suck up to people .

Youve really sacrificed a lot to survive until the end , even resorting to making up nonsense .

Looking calm , Victor replied , Im glad to hear that since well be meeting often after this .

You might die from a heart condition if youre scared out of your wits every time you see me .

Chapter 204 +25 BONUS That joke did not land with Ariana .

He motioned at the waitstaff beside him .

Take this away .

The steak was taken away .

Ariana realized this was a deliberate move by Victor .

Did he order a raw steak just to mess with her ? Mr.

Smith , lets be clear on certain things .
