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

Chapter 60 Chapter 60 When Ariana returned to the Torrey residence that afternoon , Gwen was beaming with delight over the press conference .

When she saw Ariana , she eagerly approached .

Well well , Ms.

Torrey .

Youre finally back ! Such wonderful news , and you didnt tell me ahead of time .

If Id known , I wouldnt have to be this worried all the time , dont you think ? Ariana raised an eyebrow at the joy on Gwens face .

Ms.

Lambert , werent you planning to sell me off to the Hubbords ? Not that ! Not anymore ! Gwen waved her hands dismissively .

The Hubbord family is a small and insignificant household ; they can never compare to the Lodge family .

As Ariana settled on the couch , she leaned in closer .

Ariana , now that both Mr.

Lodge and Mr.

Kingsman have taken a fancy to you , who would you choose ? Faced with such a blatant inquiry , Ariana leaned back against the couch and asked , Who do you think I should choose , Ms.

Lambert ? Gwen began chattering away , Though the Kingsmans are indeed wealthy , the Lodges are the most powerful in Gleaston , so you should choose Mr.

Lodge .

Plus , Lodge Co.

has been putting pressure on Torrey Co.

lately , so if you choose Mr.

Lodge , wouldnt that pressure disappear ? Gwen paused before continuing in a sycophantic tone , But since Mr.

Kingsman is showing feelings for you , it wouldnt hurt to leave yourself a backup plan Are you suggesting that I string Mr.

Kingsman along ? How is that stringing along ? Were simply evaluating our options .

Since Mr.

Kingsman likes you , get him to spend money on you and maybe bring business to us .

Whats wrong with that ? Ariana scoffed .

Gwens schemes were so blatantly evident .

Though I didnt break off my engagement with Brian , it doesnt mean Lodge Co.

has relented , Ariana casually reminded her .

Gwens smile froze on her face .

What do you mean by that ? Im saying that though we didnt break off the engagement , Brian has never intended to let us go .

The funds he withdrew from us are not coming back .

Arianas indifferent tone made Gwen anxious .

The latter exclaimed , How could that be ! You must do something to make Mr.

Lodge give up on dealing with us ! Arian unhurriedly picked up the fruit on the table and replied , No need to panic , Ms.

Lambert .

Torrey Co.

isnt under your control anymore , so even if we go bankrupt , it has nothing to do with you , right ? How could you say that ! Thats heartless ! Everything Ive done is for the Torrey family , and this is the appreciation I get ? Ariana scoffed as she got up .

I dont know much about whats happening at Torrey Co.

either , and I could consider letting you handle the company .

But if you cant resolve the funding crisis , youll have to pay the debts yourself .

She shot Arlana a glare and snapped , Easy for you to say ! Now that Torrey Co.

is in your hands , why dont you talk to the shareholders and tell him youve got a solution to the funding issue ? Torrey Co.

had been in absolute chaos over the past few days , but Ariana hadnt shown up even once .

Itd all fallen on Gwen to handle the fallout .

Ariana stopped fiddling with the fruits on the table and replied , No rush .

Lets wait a little longer .
