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

Chapter 320 Seeing Brian extend his hand , Ariana was shocked and disgusted .

Evelyn stood by and watched Arlana carefully .

Brian never took the initiative to shake hands with other women .

Everyone around turned to look at Ariana .

They hadnt expected Brian known for avoiding all other women to reach out first for a handshake .

In the end , Ariana still shook Brians hand .

Nice to meet you , Mr.

Lodge .

Ariana said that politely , but on the inside , she was already cursing him .

She wasnt sure if Brian did it on purpose , but she felt his grip tighten sharply around her hand .

Arianas injuries were bad enough .

With Brian gripping her so firmly , the pain spread through her entire body .

She couldnt show weakness in front of everyone , so she forced a faint smile despite the pain in her hand .

Brian watched her reaction closely , trying to catch a slip that might reveal she was actually Ariana .

As far as he knew , Arianas right hand was badly hurt , so any pressure should have caused her excruciating pain .

Yet this woman gave no reaction at all .

Had he been mistaken ? Mr.

Lodge , thats enough , dont you think ? William pulled Arianas hand free .

Susan is my date tonight .

Your date is Evelyn .

You dont want people to think youre interested in mine .

His words made Evelyn feel awkward .

She forced a small laugh , then looped her arm around Brians and said to William , Mr.

Kingsman , you do like to joke .

Rather than stand at the door , why dont we all go in ? Good idea , William replied .

Ariana finally breathed a sigh of relief .

Brian had nearly crushed her hand She leaned close to William and muttered softly , Mr.

Kingsman , that was a workplace injury .

William said calmly , Dont worry , Ill cover it .

Ariana didnt really care about being reimbursed .

She just wanted to keep her distance from Brian during this banquet .

She had no idea what else he might do .

Judging from his expression , she was sure he already suspected something about her .

Her only option now was to make him doubt that suspicion .

She had to make sure she gave off no hint of being Ariana .

A short while later , Evelyn took the initiative to bring up Arianas name .

Brian , dont you think that Susan looks a lot like Ariana ? Actually , everyone who wasnt blind could see that the new executive director , Susan , closely resembled Ariana .

They looked nearly identical .

Their only difference was their vibe .

Susans features looked more polished .

She had the kind of breathtaking beauty one noticed the instant one saw her .

Ariana was gorgeous too , but shed never shown this kind of aura .

She hardly wore makeup , so her face always seemed a bit pale .

Chapter 320 Brian was clearly unsettled by Susans appearance .

Something told him Susan might be Ariana .
