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

Chapter 40 Chapter 40 This wasnt the upper crusts first time making a fool out of Ariana .

To them , she was a lapdog who deserved to be fooled .

Isaac saw that Selena looked like she was about to cry .

He turned to glance at Brian and saw the latter leaning against the couch , drinking his whiskey like nothing had happened .

He didnt seem to want to interfere in the matter .

Brian ! Isaac approached him and lowered his voice.

This is going too far , and we should stop before the damage is done .

What are you going to do when Ariana arrives ? Are you going to sit back and watch as she becomes the laughingstock of Gleaston ? Why should I stop her when shes willing to suffer through the humiliation ? Brian asked coldly .

Isaac wasnt happy to hear that .

Evelyn is supposed to be the star of this party .

Do you think its going to bode well for her if you allow them to continue with this debacle ? Evelyn placed a hand on Brians arm and said , Hes right , Brian … How about you call Ms.

Torrey and tell her not to come ? She made you embarrass yourself in front of Grandma .

I already said that Im going to make her get on her knees before you and apologize , Brian said , looking indifferent .

Evelyn subconsciously loosened her grip on his arm when she heard that .

Isaac couldnt understand the situation .

Youre taking this too far , Brian .

Youve never acted like this in the past .

What is wrong with you today ? Brian had never liked Ariana , but hed never humiliated her in public like this before .

The worst thing hed done was throw the ring into the pool on the night of their engagement because hed been in a bad mood .

Who wouldve expected Ariana to jump into the pool to retrieve the ring ? Since then , Isaac felt like Arianas feelings for Brian were genuine .

She wasnt the same materialistic woman whod schemed and manipulated to get close to him .

Yet he wanted to humiliate her when so many people were around .

Brian didnt answer Isaac .

Instead , he downed his whiskey .

Half an hour soon passed .

Everyone had already had a few drinks .

Brian checked the time and frowned slightly .

Someone asked , Is Ariana coming or not ? Dont tell me you made a wrong judgment , Tolm .

Thats impossible ! Ariana will definitely show up .

Shes Mr.

Lodges lapdog how can she not come when she knows hes going to kiss Ms.

Granger ? The private rooms door swung open as soon as the words were out of Toms mouth .

Everyone turned to see Ariana standing there , dressed in black from head to toe .

Shed always imitated Evelyns outfits in the past .

Though she hadnt been completely ladylike , shed at least looked like a lady whod been raised in a proper family .

This was their first time seeing her in such an outfit .

Her makeup was light , but she managed to add a hint of wild unruliness to the outfit .

The scions in the private room were enchanted by her .

+25 BONUS Chapter 40 You really came , Ariana ! Tom approached her and eyed her lewdly .

Its too bad youre late .

Mr.

Lodge is still going to kiss Ms.

Granger .

Since youre already here , why dont you enjoy the celebration before leaving ? Ariana glanced at him , her bright eyes tinged with a hint of amusement .

Are you the one who snatched Selenas phone ? Yes , I am .

What are you going to do about it ? Hed always thought she was beneath him , so he wasnt afraid of her doing anything to him .
