A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer the Backup のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Ariana didn't expose Gwen and played along. "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Lambert." "No need for thanks. Just be good in the future. With your looks, how could Mr. Lodge not like you? Just don't forget how kind I've been to you when you make it big," Gwen said."Your kindness is something I will always remember." Ariana smiled.That smile sent chills down Gwen's spine, and she swallowed her words.What happened to Ariana? How had she become so hard to control?"Mom, I'm back!" Igor walked in, dressed in trendy athletic wear. His outfit, complete with earrings and rings, screamed rebellious.Igor frowned at Ariana. "Why are you here? Who let you in?"Ariana had no intention of standing up or acknowledging Igor.Igor scowled. "Ariana! I'm talking to you. Are you dead?""Ariana! This is too much. Your brother is talking to you," Gwen chimed in.Ariana calmly replied, "I've said before, this is my home. Whether I come back or not is none of your concern.""Ariana! How dare

That evening, Brian returned to the Lodge residence. Noticing only Francine was around, he asked, "Where's Ariana?""Ms. Torrey? She hasn't come back yet today," Francine replied."She's still not back?" Brian glanced at the clock in the living room. "It's already 10:00 pm. What kind of class goes this late?"Francine hesitated. "Maybe... Maybe there's an event?""What kind of event would a university have this late?" Brian frowned and pulled out his phone to call Ariana.The phone rang before it was hung up. Very well!Francine noticed the change in Brian's expression and thought of saying something on Ariana's behalf.Before she could speak, Brian ordered, "Throw everything in Ariana's room out.""Throw... Throw it out?" Francine froze in shock. Those were Ariana's belongings! "If she doesn't want to stay here, then let her leave." Brian huffed.Thinking of what Isaac had said, Brian realized he was paying far more attention to Ariana than he would like. The thought of

Evelyn asked, "Mr. Smith, were you waiting for Ms. Torrey?"Victor didn't enjoy wearing his heart on his sleeves. "Please have a seat, Ms. Granger."Evelyn sat across from Victor.Meanwhile, Ariana sat in a corner of the restaurant with a walkie-talkie and began coordinating with the staff.As expected, a server soon approached Victor and Evelyn with menus in hand. "Would you like to order?""I..." Before Evelyn could finish her sentence, Victor interjected, "No need. We'll leave as soon as we're done talking."With that, Victor glanced at Hunter, who handed a stack of cash to the server.The server was stunned by the sheer amount of money. It was the first time anyone had paid so much without ordering a single dish!After the server left awkwardly, Ariana straightened up. What was going on?She spoke into her walkie-talkie, "Send them two desserts on the house, and include a bottle of red wine." She didn't believe they would drink on empty stomachs.Shortly after, the serv

Ariana stared at Victor in disbelief. He must be doing this on purpose. Was he deliberately making things harder for her?Evelyn already resented Ariana and felt her anger boil over. She had been invited to this meeting, yet Victor hadn't even bothered ordering for her. What was he hinting at?"Server! Three beef steaks and three glasses of red wine! Make it quick!" Ariana called out loudly, breaking the tension.Thankfully, she reacted swiftly. Otherwise, the situation would have become awkward when only two plates were served."Mr. Smith, if you want that piece of land from the Granger family, you can take it anytime," Evelyn said as she produced a land transfer agreement. Ariana was well aware that Evelyn had inherited some assets from her family. However, she hadn't expected Evelyn to go as far as gifting a piece of land to win Victor over.That plot stretched for a few miles in the heart of the city and was worth a fortune. Yet Evelyn was ready to give it away just like tha

A phone rang inside Lodge Co.Brian glanced at his phone on the desk and saw it was a call from Ariana.Brian instinctively wanted to answer. But just as his hand reached out, he stopped.Answering so quickly would make him seem too eager. He couldn't let Ariana think she could manipulate him.He recalled how he had ignored her calls countless times before. So, now, he decided to leave her hanging for a moment.Finally, just as the ringing was about to stop, he picked up the call and feigned impatience. "What do you want?"There was no response from the other side, only the faint sound of car engines in the background.Brian frowned. "Ariana?"A second later, the call was abruptly cut off.Brian's frown deepened and he returned the call. But this time, the phone was turned off.His expression darkened. He called for Emily. "Emily, come in!""Yes, Mr. Lodge?" Emily entered, only to see Brian grabbing his coat. "What's going on?""Find out where Ariana has been today," Brian
