Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer the Backup: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Ariana was disgusted by Igor's friends.A woman's greatest fear was losing her reputation? Ariana found it laughable.This was nothing more than the vulgar thinking of despicable men!Ariana always knew Igor was a scumbag, but she never thought he would stoop so low as to resort to kidnapping.Igor hesitated. "Ariana is going to marry Mr. Lodge. What if something really happens?""Don't worry, Igor. I don't buy into that nonsense about women staying pure for a man. Besides, who would dare bring up this incident? Unless… Your sister doesn't want to marry Mr. Lodge anymore!"Everyone in Gleaston knew Brian was possessive, whether it was toward his things or person.If Ariana were tainted, Brian would surely reject her.Igor gave in. "As long as we can force her to hand over Torrey Co., do whatever you want.""Don't worry, Igor. Leave it to me!" One of his friends stepped forward. Igor didn't want to be involved and stepped aside. Meanwhile, the other two also approached Ariana

The three quickly ran back to check on their unconscious friend's injuries.Igor was furious and threw his cigarette pack to the ground. He barked, "Get her back! Now!"He was doomed if the Lodge family found out about this!Meanwhile, Victor arrived at Gleaston University. Beside him, Hunter reported, "According to the street surveillance, this is where she vanished. Should we request access to the campus cameras?""There's no time. Start searching immediately," Victor ordered."Yes, sir." Hunter quickly led a group into the campus to begin their search.At the same time, Brian's car pulled up outside Gleaston University.When Brian stepped out, he immediately noticed Victor entering the campus grounds. His expression darkened.Emily asked, "Mr. Lodge, why is Mr. Smith here too?"It had taken them a long time to trace Ariana to the sports car that had entered Gleaston University, but how had Victor ended up here as well?"Go check it out," Brian instructed coldly."Yes, sir

"If you didn't contact Victor, then how did he arrive to save you so quickly?" Brian was doubtful.Ariana was baffled. "How would I know? Mr. Lodge, you should ask Mr. Smith that question, not me.""Fine. Let me ask you this. Did this already happen when you called me?" Brian pressed."Not yet…" Ariana mumbled."Then why didn't you call or try to contact me?" Brian growled."My phone wasn't with me!" Ariana couldn't understand Brian.She had just been kidnapped, and it was already a struggle to free herself. Why was Brian making a fuss over this?"Even your useless brother knows to use my name to scare off trouble. Yet the first thing you think about is running away! You never even considered contacting me!" Brian was frustrated."Mr. Lodge, shouldn't saving yourself be a priority rather than relying on someone else? Was I supposed to be a sitting duck if you didn't arrive?" Ariana defended herself.Brian's expression turned unpleasant. "What do you mean by that? Are you imply

Ariana glanced at Gwen. "Ms. Lambert, what does his birthday have to do with me? If he has broken the law, don't expect me to show any mercy.""Ari!" Gwen quickly grabbed Ariana's hand. "Let's talk this through... There's no need to get so angry. Igor was in the wrong, and I'll apologize on his behalf. Or... Wait! I have a few pieces of jewelry I've been meaning to give you..."Seeing that Gwen was trying to buy her off, Ariana quirked a brow curiously.Of course, she didn't plan to stir up trouble before Igor's birthday. After all, she had another scandal prepared for the celebration, and she wouldn't ruin the perfect stage for it. However, using this opportunity to pressure Gwen and gain some benefits wasn't a bad idea.Ariana remembered how Gwen had hoarded much of her mother's jewelry after marrying into the family and said, "If I remember correctly, most of the jewelry in your possession belonged to my mother, right?"Gwen grew awkward at the accusation. "Well... Those were o

Including the ten million dollars and the money needed to reclaim the Aurora Pearls, Gwen was now forced to cough up all the wealth she had hoarded from the Torrey family over the years."I'll wait for the results tomorrow, Ms. Lambert." Ariana smiled. "Igor will return safe and sound once the pearls are in my hands."Gwen nodded and forced a smile. "Yes, I'll have the pearls ready first thing tomorrow morning and deliver them to you."Ariana left Gwen's room.Gwen's smile vanished as soon as the door closed. It was replaced by a look of anxiety and helplessness.Those pearls had long been pawned during one of her gambling losses! How could she possibly reclaim them now?"That brat! She's so greedy!" Gwen muttered angrily to herself.But things would spiral out of control if Ariana went to the police. Gwen had no choice but to call the man she had pawned the pearls to during her gambling days."Mr. Stone, remember the Aurora Pearls I pawned to you back then? I want to reclaim t
