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

Chapter 58 +75 BONUS In the face of Belindas accusations , Evelyn quickly explained , No ….

Youve misunderstood .

I didnt … Grandma , Eve persuaded Ariana to make up with me and sincerely wished us well .

Youve misunderstood her .

She has never intended to make herself the lady of the Lodges .

Belinda found it laughable that Brian was still defending Evelyn .

Youre naive ! Do you believe everything she says ? Now I understand why Ariana insists on calling off the engagement .

Youre truly cunning , Ms.

Granger .

Mrs.

Lodge Senior , I understand you have your misunderstandings toward me , but Ive never done anything to sabotage their relationship .

If you insist , Ill keep my distance from Brian in the future , Evelyn announced as if making a firm resolution .

Belinda immediately responded , Very well .

Ill arrange for a flight ticket to send you abroad .

The Lodges will cover all your living expenses overseas if you promise never to return .

You clearly hold a place in his heart .

Ariana frowned at the revelation .

So , had Brian orchestrated the entire situation ? What exactly had he been thinking ? Since Brian still has feelings for you , I think you two … Theres no need to try changing my mind , Mrs.

Lodge Senior .

Ill go with the pretense that the engagement hasnt been called off out of respect for you .

But Im not fit to be your granddaughter in law , and I do not wish to join the Lodges either .

Belinda was s stunned .

She knew how much Ariana had adored Brian , and shed assumed Ariana was just throwing a tantrum .

But now it seemed the latter was being serious .

Brian had led Evelyn out of the building .

Noticing Brian hadnt said a word or looked at her , Evelyn anxiously grabbed his arm .

Its all my fault , Brian .

I was scared we wouldnt return to how we Sed to be after your engagement , and I didnt mean to lie to you , She knew Brian loathed deception to the core .

Noticing the panicked and fearful expression on her face , Brian paused briefly and said , Dont ever do something so childish again .

The Evelyn I know would never resort to such petty tricks .

Evelyn lowered her head and bit her lip .

Then , she whispered , Im sorry … Chapter 59 Chapter 59
