With Lila and Maddie flanking her, Evelyn strode into the building, where Brian's bodyguards were swarming the entrance.As soon as Lila spotted Brian, she waved enthusiastically. "Mr. Lodge!"Brian frowned and turned, only to find Evelyn standing a short distance away.It was then that Evelyn noticed Ariana standing beside him.When she saw Brian's hand holding onto Ariana's arm, Evelyn's face went pale."Ariana? How come...?"Lila's expression darkened, and she exchanged a glance with Maddie.They had thought Brian was here for Evelyn, but to their surprise, he was with Ariana.The atmosphere in the building suddenly grew tense."Brian... What's going on?" Evelyn asked, forcing a smile.Ariana pulled her hand away from Brian and said, "Weren't you here to see Ms. Granger? Now that she's here, I'll take my leave."With that, Ariana and Selena quietly slipped away.Brian's face darkened as he tried to follow them, but Evelyn called out, "Brian!"He paused.Lila smirked. "

With that, the driver finally noticed the lack of amusement in Ariana's eyes.A pang of worry shot through him, but he quickly brushed it aside.After all, what was so special about Ariana, the heiress of the Torrey family? In the end, wasn't she still easily controlled by Mr. Lodge?"Ms. Torrey, don't think you've won everything over just by pleasing Mrs. Lodge Senior. Mr. Lodge doesn't like temperamental young ladies! Ms. Granger, on the other hand, is gentle and gracious. If you don't put in more effort, the position of Mrs. Lodge could slip right through your fingers!"The driver knew that what Ariana cared about most was becoming Mrs. Lodge and surpassing Evelyn.That was why she had tried to imitate Evelyn, hoping to win Brian's heart.Thinking he had Ariana firmly in his grasp, the driver was startled when she suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!"He slammed on the brakes in surprise."Ms. Torrey, what are you..."Before he could finish, Ariana was already out of the car.

"Mrs. Lodge Senior!"Zane's face turned pale. He had served Belinda for many years, and, though he'd made his share of mistakes, he had never faced such severe punishment."Mrs. Lodge Senior, I was just careless with my words! I didn't mean...""Take him away."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 Belinda's 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 T

A sharp slap landed on the maid's face, and she instinctively covered her cheek as her expression darkened.Ariana's eyes narrowed as she glared at the young, beautiful woman before her. "Avery, right?" she sneered. "Since you address me as Ms. Torrey, you should know your place. Who gave you permission to call me by my name?""You!"Avery had been working for the Lodge family for a long time, and because of her good looks, she had always looked down on Ariana.She had seen firsthand how lowly Ariana had been when she first arrived.Ariana remembered how Avery had frequently given her terrible advice, leading her to embarrass herself in front of Brian.Now, seeing Avery act so arrogantly in front of her again, Ariana decided she wouldn't let it slide this time."Ms. Torrey, no matter what happens, I'm still a maid in the Lodge family! Slapping me is the same as slapping Mr. Lodge's face! I'll tell him what you did! You've ruined the clothes Mr. Lodge gave you, so don't be surpri

"Your maid is quite interesting," Ariana remarked. "I was only summoned back by Mr. Lodge yesterday. Why would I randomly disable the surveillance? Even though I stayed at the Lodge residence for three months, I'm not one of your family's maids. How would I know where the main power switch is? Besides, you're practically the only one working here today. Why would I, a young lady from a prestigious family, have any reason to frame you?"Avery frantically explained to Brian, "It wasn't me! I swear! Mr. Lodge, I'm being framed!"Brian furrowed his brow in frustration. "Enough!" He was well aware that his household staff had often bullied Ariana behind his back.He'd simply been too lazy to intervene on her behalf, hoping she would give up and leave.But this time, Avery had gone too far."The Lodge family doesn't need employees who behave like this. Go collect your salary for the month. From today onward, you no longer work for the Lodge family," he said coldly.Seeing Brian's f
