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

Chapter 44 Chapter 44 I dont think youll have any objection to that , so Ill get going .

Ill show up at 10:00 am for Lodge Co.s press conference tomorrow , Ariana said .

She pushed Brian away .

As she turned to leave , he grabbed her arm again .

She frowned , looking like she was being pestered by a rat from the sewers .

She didnt bother hiding her disgust , snarling , Your refusal to give up is getting tiring , Brian .

He saw the disgust and revulsion in her eyes .

It was a look hed found familiar the first time hed seen it in her eyes , but he hadnt thought much about it then .

At that moment , it suddenly occurred to him why it was familiar- it was how hed looked at her in the past ! He fumed .

How dare she look at him like that ! He gritted his teeth and snarled , Youd better think twice about calling this engagement off , Ariana .

She already has .

A voice came from outside the private room , and it sounded amused .

The door was pushed open to reveal William standing there .

He wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up .

He even had a silver armband on .

As Ariana wondered what he was doing there , he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms .

He said to Brian , People pick the right horse to back , Mr.

Lodge .

I think Ari likes me more than you .

Ariana looked at him like hed lost his mind when she heard his absurd words .

You ? Brian took a step back and pointed at them .

Youve got quite a few tricks up your sleeve , Ariana .

I underestimated you in the past .

She frowned .

He continued icily , Id still advise you to think this through , though .

William doesnt call the shots in Silverport City youd better consider the matter seriously before choosing between me and him .

Does she even need to think about it? William asked light heartedly .

My family is clean you know very well all the dirty things your family has gotten involved in over the years .

Im a good man , and Ive never dated anyone .

You , on the other hand … I remember you having a child with Ms.

Granger , right ? Ability wise , Im not any worse than you .

Status wise , your family isnt any better than mine .

I can keep Ari safe and stop others from bullying him , too .

Anyone with a brain wouldnt pick you , Mr.

Lodge .

Id advise you to stop embarrassing yourself .

Every word out of his mouth made Brians expression darken .

He noticed how Ariana didnt step away from William despite him wrapping an arm around his waist .

Fine , then .

Lets call off the engagement ! Ariana was secretly relieved when she saw how easily Brian had agreed to call things off after William had pissed him off with a few sentences .

However , Brian continued , Ariana still has to apologize to Evelyn , though .

Neither of you is leaving this place if she doesnt .

His tone was icy , and his eyes glinted with murderous intent .

His men filed into the room , but William didnt panic despite being surrounded .

Is that so ? He held up a hand .

Come on in .

The Kingsman familys bodyguards entered the room .

The place wasnt spacious , so both mens bodyguards quickly filled it .
