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

Chapter 97 So , it was perfectly fine for men to cheat , but women were supposed to know their place and be content ? What kind of twisted logic is that ? Ill pretend I didnt see what happened today , but you need to take care of it .

Then , as if suddenly remembering something , Belinda added , Oh , and didnt you mention dropping out of school ? Yeah , I did .

Well , since youve already dropped out , theres no point worrying about school anymore .

As the wife of the Lodge family , youll still get that certificate , whether you go to school or not , Belinda said .

But , Mrs.

Lodge Senior … Just do as I say .

All you need to focus on is winning Brians heart .

Forget about everything else .

Besides , youre practically married now .

It would be absurd for you to still be in school .

Belindas tone was commanding Though Ariana felt a surge of dissatisfaction , she knew she had no choice but to comply .

Without Belindas protection , the Torrey family would be left vulnerable if Brian decided to take action against them .

Arianas silence was a clear sign of her agreement .

Seeing Arianas obedient demeanor , Belinda smiled approvingly .

Good girl .

I appreciate your compliance .

I heard Brian has asked you to move in with him .

Thats a great start .

Patting Arianas hand gently , Belinda continued , To win a mans heart , youve got to start with his stomach .

And youve got a real advantage there youre an amazing cook Brian doesnt like to eat food made by others , but as long as you keep him well fed , he wont be able to leave you .

There was an underlying message in Belindas words .

Ariana immediately grasped her meaning .

Belinda believed she and Brian had already grown intimate , which explained his invitation for her to stay .

Ariana smiled and said , I understand , Mrs.

Lodge Senior .

Thats good , Belinda replied , placing a small bottle into Arianas hand .

Light it before you go to bed.

Youll naturally understand its purpose .

Ariana glanced at the small brown bottle .

It wasnt until she had left Belindas residence that she finally took off the lid and inhaled deeply .

A sweet , overpowering scent filled her nostrils .

It was a familiar fragrance the same one shed encountered in Brians room the last time she was there .

It seemed that Brians loss of control had been entirely caused by this love potion .

Belinda had sent a different driver to take Ariana back to the Lodge residence .

Recalling the incident with Zane , the new driver was incredibly cautious .

He was fearful that anything he said might upset Ariana .

Chapter 57 Arlana stepped out of the car and walked into the Lodge residence .

The moment she entered , a maid holding out a dress approached her .

Ms.

Torrey , Mr.

Lodge insists you change into this uniform upon your return .

Ariana glanced at the uniform in the maids hands and the snug expression on her face , then let out a derisive scoff .

Brian was determined to crush her self esteein , piece by piece .

Ariana looked at the uniform in her hand , then walked over to the table and grabbed a pair of scissors .

Under the maids astonished gaze , Ariana began cutting the uniform to shreds .

The maids expression changed in an instant .

Ariana ! Have you lost your mind ?! Chapter 98
