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

Chapter 93 Seeing Brian actually speak up for Ariana , Evelyns expression darkened .

She had always known how much Brian despised Arlana .

It would have been a miracle if he hadnt bullied her .

So , why now … ? Could it be that Brian truly intended to marry Ariana ? Selena let out a sigh of relief when she realized no one was following them .

Patting her chest , she exclaimed , Thank goodness they didnt catch up ! Brian is terrifying ! With all those people around him , youd think he was shooting an action movie .

She turned to Ariana , scolding her , And you why did you defend Brian ? You shouldve let him and Evelyn sort things out .

Now everyone thinks youre trying to steal Mr.

Lodge ! Its not worth it .

I wasnt defending Brian .

I was defending myself , Evelyn replied .

After everything that had happened in her past life , she wanted nothing to do with Brian .

The farther away she was from him , the better .

Besides , didnt Brian have feelings for Evelyn ? theShed gladly step aside and let this ill fated couple be together .

Just then , Arianas phone rang .

When she saw it was Belinda calling , she frowned.

What could Belinda possibly want from her now ? Ariana answered the call and immediately recognized the coldness in Belindas voice .

Ariana , Ill send a driver to pick you up .

I need to ask you something .

Hearing the chill in her tone , Ariana replied , Im still at school , so I cant come over right now .

Ive already notified your school .

The driver will be there shortly .

Get ready and come now .

Without waiting for a response , Belinda hung up .

Ariana let out a bitter chuckle as she stared at the disconnected call .

Ariana , youre such a fool , she thought to herself .

How could she have ever believed that , no matter what Brian was like , Belinda would genuinely care for her ? Only after living through this second chance did she realize that the entire Lodge family was cut from the same cloth .

Her future grandmother in law would never truly care about her .

It had always been about the benefits .

With that thought , Ariana switched off her phone .

The Lodge familys driver arrived promptly , just as expected .

Chapter 93 +25 BONUS As Ariana got into the car , the driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror and sald with an impatient tone , Ms.

Torrey , why didnt you inform Mrs.

Lodge Senior about going to school ? Weve all been running around because of it .

Ariana was used to such complaints .

The staff worked for the Lodge family and saw themselves as superior .

In the past , she had been nothing more than Brians lapdog fawning over him and treating everyone from the security guards to the drivers and even the maids with the utmost respect .

As a result , no one had ever treated Ariana , the heiress of the Torrey family , with any real importance .

Ariana replied coldly , It seems Ive caused you trouble .

Ignoring her tone , the driver continued , Ms.

Torrey , theres no need for a woman to study so much .

Youd be better off focusing on pleasing Mr.

Lodge , Im just trying to look out for you .

No matter how educated you are , it wont matter if you cant marry a good husband .

There was a hint of disdain in the drivers voice ..

Ariana scoffed .

So , I should thank you for that ?
