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

Chapter 36 Chapter 36 A Ariana … Fiona stood up , frightened when she saw Ariana .

She was about to back away when Brian grabbed her wrist .

Where are you going ? he asked leisurely .

Youre not done with my shoes .

Get on your knees and continue wiping until I tell you to stop .

… Yes , Mr.

Lodge .

Fiona got back on her knees and continued wiping Brians shoes .

He leaned back in his seat and looked at Ariana .

Plenty of people can do the things that you dont want to , Ariana .

In fact … They might do it better than you can .

Im not here to let you nauseate me , Mr.

Lodge , Ariana said coldly .

Brian looked unfazed .

I can act like nothing happened as long as you kneel before Eve and apologize to her .

The engagement party will go on as usual , and Ill give the Torrey family a huge investment .

He snorted when Ariana didnt speak .

Its just getting on your knees and apologizing your knees should be used to this treatment , right ? Its not like you havent done it in the past .

Cant you do it now ? He got up and approached her .

If you want to be a lapdog , you have to play the part well .

You used to be obedient , didnt you ? Ariana felt nauseated by his presence and took a step back to put distance between them .

Then , she sat on the couch and said , Allow me to remind you that I wouldnt be here if not for Ms.

Lambert begging me , Mr.

Lodge .

I only have one thing to say I dont care whether you withdraw your investment or do your best to ruin Torrey Co.

As for apologizing to Ms.

Granger … She looked up at him and smiled .

Im not the one who held the knife to her neck and forced her to slash it .

Why should I apologize to her ? Brians smile disappeared at her words .

Arianas flippant attitude frustrated him .

He couldnt calm down .

He said icily , Youd better think about what youre saying before getting the words out of your mouth , Ariana .

Im perfectly aware of my words , Mr.

Lodge .

Im not apologizing to anyone , she said .

You can ask me a thousand times , but my answer will be the same .

The tension thickened .

At that , Fiona ran to Ariana and said I know I shouldnt have come to see Mr.

Lodge , but you shouldnt throw a tantrum at him because of this ! Its all thanks to him that the Torrey family has everything it does now .

Well be dead meat if he withdraws his investment ! Allow me to also remind you that your surname is Piper , not Torrey .

What does my familys matters have to do with you ? Ariana asked .

Her sharp tone made Fiona pale .

Fine , then ! This is great ! Brian barked out a derisive laugh at Arianas attitude .

Jumping into that pool has addled your brains .

You sure sound tough now ! Thanks for the compliment , Mr.

Lodge .

Its all thanks to you throwing the ring into the pool it helped wake me up , Ariana said indifferently .

All I want is to be with the person I love , but how can a marriage thats destined to be unjust have love in it? Not only am I not going to apologize , but Im also not going to get engaged to you , Mr.

Lodge .

You should look for a new target .

If Ms.

Granger is really off limits , Ms.

Pip here is a good candidate .

She glanced at Flona .

At the very least , shes willing to cas all her pride and dignity aside to do whatever you want , Thats how I used to be
