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

Chapter 69 Chapter 69 You … Brians face darkened with anger.

Ariana calmly sat back down and gestured toward him .

Please leave , Mr.

Lodge .

Ariana , think carefully before you speak .

I think Ive thought it through , Ariana said with a slight smile .

You mentioned that today is Valentines Day .

Its a day for lovers to celebrate together .

Should you be accompanying Evelyn instead of taking me home ? If she were to see us and misunderstand , thatd be unfortunate , wouldnt it ? Fine .

Remember your words ! With that , Brian turned and stormed out of the restaurant with his men following closely behind .

Once they left the restaurant , Emily worriedly asked , What do we do since Ms.

Torrey refuses to come with us ? What should we tell Mrs.

Lodge Senior if she asks ? Find out how exactly Ariana got hurt , Brian said as he frowned.

Are you suggesting those two might have slandered Ms.

Torrey ? But they seem to be close friends with Granger .

If we ask them … Then ask other witnesses in the cafeteria .

Do I have to teach you that ? Brian snapped .

Understood , Mr.

Lodge .

Before leaving , Brian cast one last look into the restaurant where Ariana and William were chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened .

His scowl deepened .

It was Valentines Day , and she wanted to spend it with William ? Dream on ! He turned to Emily and said , Call Mrs.

Torrey and tell her to discipline her daughter .

Copy that .

That afternoon , Ariana returned home from school .

Gwen erupted in anger once she saw the former and pointed a finger .

Ariana ! What were you doing at noon ? Thats none of your business , is it , Ms.

Lambert ? What I did has nothing to do with you .

Seeing Ariana talk back , Gwens eyes widened in fury .

Nothing to do with me ? Did you know Mr.

Lodge called us about this ? Oh really ? And what does that have to do with me ? Ariana indifferently replied .

What does it have to do with you ? You openly went on a date flirting with another man in front of your fiancé .

Have you lost your mind ? The more Gwen looked at Ariana , the more convinced she was that the latter had gone crazy .

How could an engaged woman be so brazen about dating another man ? Doesnt Brian often go out with Evelyn on dates ? Whats the difference ? Ariana asked coolly .

Thats Brian ! Youre you ! Youre both different ! Are you joking ? Ariana raised an eyebrow at Gwens words .

So , youre saying its fine for Brian to fool around , but not me ? +25 BONUS Chapter 69 Brian has the money and power to do that , but the Torrey family needs the Lodge family right now .

How dare you behave so recklessly ? Gwen said with a sharp tone .

Without waiting for Arianas response , she ordered , Head over to the Lodge residence tonight and please Mrs.

Lodge Senior .

Thats whats important .

Do you hear me ? As soon as Gwen said so , a knock came from the door .

She opened it and was greeted by Emily .

The sight of someone from the Lodge family lit up her face with a smile .

Oh , Ms.

Weston .

Youve come to pick Ari up , havent you ? Perfect timing .

She just got back ! She pulled Ariana over and said , Ari was just about to apologize to Mr.

Lodge .

She couldnt turn Mr.

Kingsman down out of politeness , and it wasnt intentional .
