Chapter 96 Mrs.

Lodge Senior ! Zanes face turned pale .

He had served Belinda for many years , and , though hed made his share of mistakes , he had never faced such severe punishment .

Mrs.

Lodge Senior , I was just careless with my words ! I didnt mean … Take him away .

THE Without sparing him another glance , Belinda waved her hand dismissively .

Her attendants quickly moved to help Zane to his feet and escorted him out .

Ariana had always encountered Belindas charitable side , but she had never witnessed her ruthless demeanor before .

Perhaps Belinda had always been this way , simply masking her true nature with a facade of kindness for the outside world .

If she were truly benevolent , why would she dismiss a senior employee for such a minor slip of the tongue ? Ariana , I need to talk to you about something I saw in the news .

What news , Mrs.

Lodge Senior ? Ariana feigned ignorance , her gaze shifting toward her .

Belinda pulled out her phone , showing Ariana the article about her inheriting Torrey Co.

and partnering with Kingsman Co.

Did William give you that two billion? There was a hint of accusation in Belindas tone ..

Ariana had known this question was coming , but she hadnt expected the news to spread so quickly .

Mrs.

Lodge Senior , its all just rumors .

Kingsman Co.

and Torrey Co.

are purely interested in business dealings .

Whether its a business deal or not , you are engaged to Brian .

Its inappropriate for you to be so close to William .

Belindas tone grew colder as she continued , Now that you have a fiancé , you should leave the management of Torrey Co.

to your brother .

Zanes words may have been harsh , but there was some truth in them .

You need to focus more on your fiancé and less on company matters .

Remember , men dont like women who are too Independent .

Hearing Belindas words , Ariana couldnt help but laugh .

She replied , Mrs.

Lodge Senior , my father left me this company .

I have no intention of handing it over to anyone else .

As for Mr.

Lodge , its clear his heart isnt with me .

No matter what I do , I cant change that .

Instead of asking me to win him over , why dont you try convincing him to stop fooling around with other women ? What do you mean by that ? Are you dissatisfied with this marriage ? Belinda furrowed her brow , clearly displeased by Arianas words .

She had once admired Ariana for her gentleness and obedience , but lately , her actions had begun to irritate her .

Ariana continued , Mrs.

Lodge Senior , I just feel like Im not worthy of Mr.

Lodge .

If he loves Ms.

Granger so much , why not just let them be together ? Seeing that this was still about Evelyn , Belinda took a deep breath and said , Ive told you before , dont worry 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 55 about Evelyn .

If Brian wants to have an ambiguous relationship with her , thats his choice .

In the end , youre the only one who will be Mrs.

Lodge .

With your status and position , what more could you possibly need ? Women should know when to be content .

Listening to Belindas words , Ariana couldnt help but laugh .

She suddenly realized that the reason she had been so foolish in her past life was largely due to the brainwashing she had endured from Belinda and Gwen .
