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

Chapter 99 What on earth are you talking about , Mr.

Lodge ? Ariana looked at Brian with an innocent expression .

I was in the middle of a perfectly good shower when you barged in .

How exactly is that my fault ? You … Brians words faltered as he stared at her .

Wrapped in a towel , Arianas long , slender legs were on full display .

Her wet hair spilled over one shoulder , and droplets of water clung to her collarbone , creating an undeniably captivating sight .

Noticing his intense gaze, Ariana tightened her grip on the towel and asked , Is there something you need , Mr.

Lodge ? Why did you rip the uniform ? Faced with Brians accusation , Ariana feigned innocence .

Rip what ? Mr.

Lodge , I have no idea what youre talking about .

Brians voice turned cold .

Dont play dumb , Ariana .

What were you trying to prove by tearing the uniform ? Was it rebellion ? Or were you just trying to get my attention ? Mr.

Lodge , Ariana replied , maintaining her act of confusion , I honestly dont know what youre talking about .

Ive never seen any maids uniform .

If youre going to frame me , at least make it convincing .

Seeing Arianas refusal to admit her guilt , Brian sneered .

Oh , really ? Then come with me .

Grabbing her arm , he pulled her downstairs , his grip tightening as she winced pain .

When they reached the ground floor , they found Avery still gathering the torn pieces of clothing .

The clothes were in tatters .

Ariana glanced at them and said firmly , I didnt rip these .

Liar ! You clearly did ! Seeing Ariana deny everything , Avery quickly turned to Brian .

Mr.

Lodge , I saw Ms.

Torrey cut these clothes with my own eyes ! I can testify ! Ariana remained composed and replied , You can testify ? Youre the one accusing me .

Why should anyone believe you ? If you want to prove I damaged these clothes , youll need another witness , wont you ? Averys face turned ashen .

I was alone in the room at the time , Mr.

Lodge .

Ms.

Torrey must be making this up out of fear of your punishment ! Im not lying .

If you dont believe me , we can check the surveillance footage .

At the mention of the footage , Averys confidence grew .

Fine ! Lets check it ! But Ms.

Torrey , dont regret this .

Youre digging your own grave ! Ariana glanced at Brian , who remained impassive .

Mr.

Lodge , what do you think ? Brian turned to Emily and ordered , Go check the surveillance footage .

1/2 Chapter 99 .

Yes , sir .

Arian showed no fear .

A faint sinile played on her lips as she observed Averys smug expression .

It was such a petty trick , and Avery clearly underestimated her .

It was almost insulting Moments later , Emily returned from the surveillance room Leaning in close to Brians ear , Emilly whispered , Mr.

Lodge , the surveillance footage has been tampered with .

Brians brow furrowed at the news , Averys face turned pale when she heard the news .

It must be Ms.

Torrey ! she exclaimed .

She tampered with the footage ! Shes framing me !
