Ariana sald , Its not that easy being the Torrey familys matriarch , Ms.

Lambert .

If you dont have any ideas on how to resolve this issue with the cash flow , youre better off running away right now .

Dont say I didnt remind you .

Gwen was finding it harder and harder to put up a nice front .

Shed worked herself to the bone for the Torrey family and had outlived Carson , yet Torrey Co.

was now facing a crisis .

How could she possibly pay off the Torrey familys debts before she benefited from It ? It was not going to happen ! I know youre sensible and kind , Arlana .

You wouldnt make me pay off the debts alone , would you ? Think of it as me begging you please apologize to Mr.

Lodge .

Torrey Co , will be fine once he relents and lets us off the hook ! she said .

Ariana smiled at Gwens pleading .

She said , Its not Impossible for me to head over there .

I knew you were the best , Arianal You wont leave the company to die ! Lets not get ahead of ourselves .

Ive yet to tell you what my conditions are .

Gwen was dumbstruck by that .

Conditions ? You have conditions ? Of course .

Youre asking me to do something , and Ill do it as long as you can fulfill my conditions .

Gwens blood boiled when she saw Ariana leaning against the couch leisurely .

However , this wasnt the time to get mad .

She said , All you need to do is go to Mr.

Lodge , apologize , and admit you were wrong .

Youve never been petty or calculative why are you acting like this now ? Dad only taught me to be a prim and proper woman .

I mustve learned it from you .

Arianas smile remained in place .

She said slowly , I can go convince Mr.

Lodge to change his mind if you want me to , but I cant guarantee hell let Torrey Co.

off the hook .

Gwen wanted to say something , but Ariana didnt give her the chance .

She continued , And once I head over there , the company will have nothing to do with you anymore .

Whether it ends up in debt or does well , it wont be any of your business .

You I wont go if you object .

Ariana went all out .

At most , we can just let Mr.

Lodge destroy us .

I wont need to repay any debts youre the one who will have to think Something .

Youve been the one managing the company , after all .

Its only right for the shareholders to go to you if their money is gone .

Seeing that Ariana was being serious , Gwen gnashed her teeth and said , Fine .

I agree ! Ariana knew nothing , anyway .

How could a pampered princess who couldnt make heads or tails of a ledger know how to run a company ? She would ultimately have to beg her for help ! Since youve agreed to my conditions , please sign here .

Ariana pulled out a piece of paper from her bag .

It clearly indicated that Gwen and Igor would willingly give up their positions at Torrey Co.

Gwens smile stiffened after reading the contract .

Were a family , Ariana .

We dont need to put everything in black and white like this , do we ? Verbal agreements arent legally binding , Ms.

Lambert .

I think its better to make sure everything is clear cut .

Ariana smiled faintly .

Dont worry , okay ? Ill head over to the Lodge residence and ask Mr.

Lodge to let us off the hook once you sign this .

You can prepare a contract of your own if you dont trust me .
