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

Chapter 302 +25 BONUS Ariana knew that with Brians capabilities , it was only a matter of time before he uncovered her background .

If she didnt take the initiative and seize control of the situation , things could get really dangerous once Brian started piecing things together .

Both she and Warto Group could be in trouble .

With that thought , Ariana reluctantly said , Ill do my best Its not about doing your best .

You have to do it , William said , patting her shoulder .

This is a make or break moment .

Think it through carefully .

I know .

I wont let him find any loopholes .

William gave a small nod of acknowledgment .

As Ariana continued surveying her office , William suddenly spoke again .

Oh , by the way .

What now ? Ariana asked , puzzled by his strange behavior today .

William wasnt usually this chatty .

I heard something really interesting at school today .

Want to hear it ? No.

Ariana already had a feeling it would be about her .

And most likely , it involved Brian and Fiona too .

Well , thats a shame , William sighed dramatically .

I was going to tell you how your ambitious little cousin has been misleading everyone in class , claiming shes the Lodge familys chosen future wife .

But since youre not interested … Wait .

What do you mean by misleading ? Wasnt it true ? I thought you werent interested ? Ariana was silent .

William continued casually , Ariana , you should pay more attention to the people around you .

Your countryside cousins ambition might be bigger than you realize .

Thanks for the kind reminder , but Im well aware .

Thats good to hear .

William continued , Well , now that the office tour is done , how about grabbing dinner together before I drop you off ? Ariana shook her head .

No need .

I just moved into my new place and havent had time to unpack .

1 William raised an eyebrow , as if suddenly remembering something .

Speaking of which , how broke are you right now ? Why are you living in that tiny dump ? Ariana forced a smile .

Apartments around the university are in high demand .

The high end one Brian rented for me was already taken , and I had to move in a hurry .

This was the best I could find for now .

Those old neighborhoods arent safe .

I know a few real estate friends Ill ask around tonight .

If theres a better place available , Ill have movers help you relocate in a few days .

+25 BONUS Chapter 302 Oh , thats really not necessary .

Despite her words , a smile spread across her face as soon as she said that .

Of course , youll have to pay for it , William added .

He was always meticulous about money .

Ever since shed known him , she had never managed to get any real benefits from him .

But that was fine .

Their friendship was built on mutual interests .

Everything was clear cut .

No one owed anyone anything .

That kind of relationship was the most secure .

That evening , William dropped Ariana off at her apartment complex .

As soon as his car pulled away , she stepped through the gates , only to find several elderly women gathered nearby , their eyes fixed on her .

Ignoring their stares , Ariana walked to her rented apartment only to find the door slightly open .

Inside , a middle aged woman in her 40s was rummaging through the cabinets she had just finished organizing .
