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

Chapter 244 A cold smirk played at the corners of Brians lips .

He had clearly seen a woman who looked just like Ariana appear on this floor .

He refused to believe she could vanish into thin air .

Just as he stepped closer to the table , Emily rushed over looking anxious .

Mr.

Lodge , Madam Mackle is here ! Brian stopped in his tracks .

William said casually , Mr.

Lodge , people say we dont get along , but were both well known in Gleaston .

If you want to cause trouble for me , at least use a better excuse .

Accusing me of secretly dating your ex fiancée is such a tired cliché .

Brians frown deepened .

Emily quickly added , Mr.

Lodge , Madam Mackle is waiting .

Also , causing a scene with Mr.

Kingsman here at the Evergreen Hotel might not be a good idea .

Maybe we should… Staring down William , Brian saw the mocking gleam in his eyes .

Brians expression turned even colder .

Lets go .

Yes , sir .

Elise had hoped to say a polite goodbye to William , but Brian spun around and strode off .

She had no choice but to hurry after him in her heels , struggling to keep pace .

Her face reddened with irritation .

Once they left , William tapped on the table and said , Theyre gone .

You can come out now .

From under the table , Ariana emerged with some difficulty .

With all her injuries , it had been a miserable hiding spot .

William watched her , amused to see this clever woman in such a predicament .

Ill have someone lead you out the back so you wont be spotted , he said .

Ariana gave a tight smile .

Really ? Thank you so much .

William could have easily chased Brian off with a quick excuse , but instead , hed said a long , provocative line that seemed designed to push Brians buttons .

He was obviously enjoying the show .

Just then , the waiter came in .

Ms.

Torrey , please follow me .

Otherwise , if that gentleman returns , itll be trouble .

Right .

Who knew when Brian might come storming back ? Ariana nodded .

Sorry to bother you .

Please , dont mention it .

The waiter guided her through a side corridor .

It was a common feature of discreet business hotels like the Evergreen .

They were designed with hidden paths for high profile guests to exit quietly .

They reached an exit .

Williams car drove her around to the front .

As they passed the lobby , Ariana saw through the window .

Belinda was there talking with Elise , holding her hand with apparent satisfaction .

Ariana felt relieved .

Meanwhile , inside the Evergreen Hotel , Brian couldnt focus on the conversation .

His mind kept circling back to the figure hed seen earlier .

He was certain it was Ariana .

Chapter 244 Grandma , I need to go to the restroom , he said .

Belinda was happily chatting with Elise about something .

Seeing Brian make excuses to leave , Belindas smile faded slightly .

I heard from Elise that you just went to Williams private room looking for Ariana .

Is that true ?
