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

Chapter 245 1 I must have mistaken someone else for her , Brian explained .

You two have called off the engagement , so its none of your business what she does or whom she meets .

Must 1 explain that to you ? Belinda said .

Yes , Grandma , Brian answered politely , but it was clear he hadnt taken it to heart .

He excused himself , and Emily quickly followed behind .

Brians face darkened .

Call home .

Have Martha check if Arianas really there .

Mr.

Lodge , Ms.

Torreys injuries are so bad .

Can she even wander around like that ? Maybe you truly mixed her up with someone else .

Call ! I want to know exactly where she is .

Yes , Mr.

Lodge .

Emily dialed Martha , who answered promptly .

Ms.

Weston ? Why are you calling me ? Is Ms.

Torrey at home right now ? Yes , she is .

She told me she had too much lunch and felt ill , so she went to bed .

Hearing this , Brian took the phone .

When did she say she was going to sleep ? Around noon , I think .

She told us not to disturb her .

Go check if shes actually in the room .

Well … Martha sounded hesitant but still went upstairs .

She carefully opened the door to a darkened room with curtains drawn .

On the bed , there was a shape that appeared to be someone sleeping .

She quickly shut the door again .

Shes in bed , Mr.

Lodge , Martha whispered .

Brian frowned .

A flicker of doubt crossed his mind .

Did he really see someone else ? 20 minutes later , Ariana returned to the Lodge residence .

She quietly entered while Martha was busy in the kitchen , then headed straight to her bedroom on the second floor .

She had prepared earlier by placing a pillow and a small moving gadget under the covers , so that in dim light it looked like someone was breathing Ariana sighed in relief .

At least Martha hadnt noticed anything .

soon ? But before she could fully relax , she heard Martha downstairs .

Oh , Mr.

Lodge , why are you home so Arianas face went pale .

She quickly undressed and climbed under the blanket , turning off her little gadget .

Moments later , Brian opened her door and flicked on the light .

The sudden brightness stung Arianas eyes .

She shielded them , complaining , Who is it ? Didnt I say not to bother me while Im sleeping ? Seeing Brian , she paused in confusion .

Brian ? Why are you back ? Chapter 245 His gaze was glacial .

Without a word , he marched to her bedside and yanked the blanket away .

In the next instant , he saw her bare body .

His tense expression vanished , replaced by a faint panic .
