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

Chapter 42 .

+25 BONUS Chapter 42 The peoples words were getting nastler .

Selena was about to lose her temper .

Before she could explode , Ariana held her hand and shook her head .

Selena had her family to consider the Lovegoods couldnt afford to offend anyone in this circle .

When Evelyn saw this , she stepped forward and said , I know youre upset because Brian has put together this celebration for my birthday , but Tom is innocent .

You don have to vent your frustrations on him , Ms.

Torrey .

She picked up a glass of liquor from the table and handed it to Ariana , Its my birthday today , so how about we sweep this matter under the rug for my sake ? Ariana accepted the glass .

Evelyn was about to get another glass and drink it with her when Brian got up and moved to stand beside Evelyn .

Everyone watched with bated breath , not sure what he was up to .

He took Evelyns glass and poured the liquor on the floor before Ariana .

This was equivalent to insulting Ariana in front of everyone .

Brian , dont be like this … Evelyn pushed Brians arm down .

It was an intimate action .

Everyone waited to see Ariana make a fool of yourself .

Any other woman would burst into tears upon being humiliated in public like this , let alone Ariana .

Silence descended upon the room , but Ariana broke it with a laugh .

She held up the glass and said , Ill drink this , but its not because of your birthday , Ms.

Granger .

Im just here to wish you two all the happiness in the world .

I hope you have a good life and form a happy family together .

She downed the drink .

Brians expression turned hideous at her words , and the crowd gasped .

They knew how in love Ariana had been with Brian , so what was wrong with her ? Brian wouldve married Evelyn long ago if he could ! Rumor had it that Brian had actually gotten Evelyn pregnant in the past .

However , Belinda had been vehemently against Brian marrying her , ultimately leading to her getting an abortion .

Arianas well wishes sounded like she meant well , but it was clear to everyone that she was rubbing salt into their wounds .

To think she had the nerve to down her drink ! Lets go , Selena .

Ariana was about to pull Selena out of the room when Tom scrambled to his feet .

He snarled , Stop right there , Ariana ! Ill kill you ! She stopped and turned to give him a cold look .

It made a chill run down his spine , and he froze .

She said , Bring your men to the Torrey residence if you have the guts .

Im not afraid of your getting revenge on me .

In fact , Id be worried if you didnt show .

Then , she pulled Selena out of the room and left without another look back .

Silence descended upon the private room .

It was broken by Brian throwing his glass to the floor and shattering it .

Theyd gathered to watch Ariana make a fool of herself , but nothing of the sort had happened .

Instead , Tom ended up being humillated , and Brian didnt get a rise out of Ariana .

No one dared to move when they saw the thunderous look on Brians face .

Brian… It had been a long time since Evelyn had seen him so furious .

She couldnt help feeling a little scared .

Uh … Lets cut the cake ! Lets all wish Ms.

Granger a happy birthday ! Isaac hurriedly tried to ease the tension .
