Chapter 90

Author: Cozy Season
"Hurry up!" Brian's voice was laced with impatience.

Emily nodded and quickly made her way upstairs.

She stood outside Ariana's door, knocked, and called out, "Ms. Torrey, Mr. Lodge requests your presence downstairs."

There was no response from inside.

Frowning, Emily called again, "Ms. Torrey?"

Still, there was no answer.

With a sigh, she muttered, "With all due respect, Ms. Torrey," before pushing the door open.

The room was tidy, but Ariana was nowhere to be found.

Panicked, Emily dashed downstairs. "Mr. Lodge, she's... She's gone!"

Brian's expression darkened as he hurried upstairs.

Sure enough, Ariana's room was empty.

His face grew even grimmer.

"Mr. Lodge, do you think she might have run away?"

"As if that's not obvious," Brian replied coldly. "Call her now."

"Yes, sir."

Emily quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Ariana's number, but it went straight to voicemail.

"Mr. Lodge, I can't reach her."

Brian's face darkened as he let out a bitter laugh. "So, Ariana

    Ariana and Selena hid on the first floor of the building. Selena muttered, "Damn, there are so many people. What's Brian up to?""I don't know what his problem is this time," Ariana replied, frowning.In her past life, she had relentlessly pursued Brian, but he had always remained indifferent. He had never gone to such lengths to find her.So, why was he suddenly so eager to pursue her now that she wanted to call off the engagement?"Selena, it's not safe here. We need to go." "Okay!" She grabbed Ariana's hand, ready to dash toward the women's restroom on the upper floor, but before they could move far, they ran straight into the school security guards."Run!"Ariana pulled Selena along, desperate to escape, but Brian was already standing at the entrance of the first building.With a gloomy expression, Brian said, "Ariana, where do you think you're going?"Ariana was stunned.Selena interrupted, "Mr. Lodge, Ari is here to study. Why have you brought all these people? What

    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. "

    Seeing Brian actually speak up for Ariana, Evelyn's expression darkened.She had always known how much Brian despised Ariana.It would have been a miracle if he hadn't bullied her. So, why now...?Could it be that Brian truly intended to marry Ariana?Selena let out a sigh of relief when she realized no one was following them. Patting her chest, she exclaimed, "Thank goodness they didn't catch up! Brian is terrifying! With all those people around him, you'd think he was shooting an action movie."She turned to Ariana, scolding her, "And you—why did you defend Brian? You should've let him and Evelyn sort things out. Now everyone thinks you're trying to steal Mr. Lodge! It's not worth it.""I wasn't defending Brian. I was defending myself," Evelyn replied.After everything that had happened in her past life, she wanted nothing to do with Brian.The farther away she was from him, the better.Besides, didn't Brian have feelings for Evelyn?She'd gladly step aside and let this i

    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.

    With this thought in mind, the driver quickly hopped into the car to chase after Ariana.However, Ariana simply offered a cold smile as she watched him chase after her in desperation.Belinda had always been too soft-hearted, and those who worked for her often took advantage of her kindness.After all, Ariana was the heiress of the Torreys, who was a guest, while the driver was just an employee. Yet, he had the audacity to treat a guest with such disrespect.In the past, she might have let it slide, but not this time. She would not tolerate it any longer.Soon, the taxi pulled up to the grand entrance of the Lodge residence.Although it wasn't the main Lodge residence, it was still situated in an upscale villa district.When Belinda saw Ariana stepping out of the taxi through the window, her expression darkened. "What is this? Didn't I ask Zane to pick her up? Where is he?""I'm not sure, Mrs. Lodge Senior..."The maid standing nearby looked equally puzzled.Zane had clearl

    "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

    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?"I'll pretend I didn't see what happened today, but you need to take care of it."Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Belinda added, "Oh, and didn't you mention dropping out of school?""Yeah, I did.""Well, since you've already dropped out, there's no point worrying about school anymore. "As the wife of the Lodge family, you'll 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 Brian's heart. Forget about everything else. Besides, you're practically married now. It would be absurd for you to still be in school." Belinda's tone was commanding.Though Ariana felt a surge of dissatisfaction, she knew she had no choice but to comply.Without Belinda's protection, the Torrey family would be left vulnerable if Brian decided to 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

    Since when did Ariana need someone with gastritis to teach her how to eat?"At night, you can eat less, but you can't skip it entirely. Two meals a day is unhealthy. From now on, whenever I have dinner, you should too," Brian said."Brian, I'm really not used to eating dinner. You're making things difficult," Ariana retorted.He coolly answered, "If you eat dinner every night on schedule, I'll pay you one million dollars a day."Ariana almost thought she misheard him. A million a day? Was he out of his mind?Brian noticed her skeptical look and frowned. "Is that not enough?""How about two million?" Ariana asked, testing the water.She looked up to gauge his reaction. She could tell it was too much."Alright, one million it is," she conceded."Skip dinner even once, and I'll deduct two million. If you eat properly every night for a month, you'll have a guaranteed 30 million."With that, Brian started eating. He preferred mild flavors, and he was extremely picky about food. Ve

    Hearing Emily's words, Brian was momentarily stunned.Had something like that really happened before?He had no memory of it, because in those days he barely paid attention to Ariana or anything she did for him.Hearing this now, Brian found it hard to believe. Had he really been so mean to Ariana in the past and done something so unreasonable?"Mr. Lodge, Ms. Torrey has every right to be upset with you."No one liked having their efforts dismissed, and Ariana was no exception. Emily had noticed her habit of skipping dinner, but Brian, her own fiancé, hadn't.Brian frowned. He lost his appetite.Seeing Brian get up, Emily was about to follow him. But he said, "Postpone tonight's work. You can leave now.""Yes, Mr. Lodge," Emily replied.Brian went upstairs. Ariana was still in that room, casually telling the workers what to do.At some point, she had even donned a cap and was helping out in person. She looked nothing like a pampered socialite, showing none of that usual reser

    "Yes, Mr. Lodge."Emily quickly left to get the exhaust fans.Downstairs, Brian wore a simple white robe and went to check the fridge. There were indeed a few simple dishes waiting, but he could tell at once that Ariana hadn't prepared them.He remembered how Ariana used to make all kinds of creative dishes for him when she stayed at the Lodge residence. She was worried he might lose his appetite.Back then, he would decide whether to eat or not depending on his mood. But now, he had to beg Ariana to cook, and she still refused.He had no desire to eat anymore, so he slammed the fridge door shut.Seeing this, Emily asked, "Mr. Lodge, are these dishes not to your liking?""What do you think?"He clearly looked displeased.Emily was puzzled. It shouldn't be. Brian had always liked Martha's cooking. Why didn't he like it now?"Mr. Lodge, should I order takeout for you?""No need."Brian frowned. "Has Ariana eaten anything tonight?""I believe not.""Tell her to come down and

    Evelyn couldn't just sit and do nothing.She couldn't just watch Ariana seize Brian from her.With that in mind, Evelyn quickly took out her phone and dialed a familiar number."Hello, I want you to come back to the country. I need you to help me with something!"In the evening, Brian returned to the Lodge residence.He found only one lamp switched on in the living room, and the sound of moving furniture was coming from upstairs.Frowning, he asked, "They're still not done?"Emily answered, "Ms. Torrey is quite particular. She's already sent back three batches of furniture this afternoon.""Where is she now?"Emily said uneasily, "She's... probably in there giving instructions.""Giving instructions? What exactly is she instructing?"Brian's face darkened as he headed upstairs, wanting to see what Ariana was playing at.The moment he got to the second floor, a cloud of white dust blew right into him.The worker immediately apologized. "Mr. Lodge, I'm so sorry. Ms. Torrey w

    Might not be true?Evelyn had heard it clearly.Brian had forced a kiss on Ariana, and the Lodge residence was being revamped for her.Thinking of this, Evelyn headed straight to Brian's office.When she reached the door, Emily stepped forward to stop her. "Ms. Granger, Mr. Lodge is in a meeting. He can't see anyone right..."Before Emily could finish, Evelyn pushed the door open.Inside, Brian was wearing a headset and speaking to an international firm via video call. He shot Evelyn a frown for barging in.He swiftly ended the call with a few short words."Eve, I'm working."Evelyn would never have been this impulsive before.Brian put down his headset and looked at her.Evelyn lowered her head and said, "I... I didn't mean to interrupt you.""What's the matter?" Brian asked."I came to pick you up from work," Evelyn replied, forcing a smile that looked incredibly stiff.Brian didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Evelyn's mood. "I've got something going on tonigh

    Brian thought Ariana was hinting at something. He said, "We're engaged. It's perfectly normal for us to share a room. My bed is big enough for three, so if you want...""Mr. Lodge, if you're trying to take responsibility for what happened earlier, there's really no need. I understand you acted on impulse because you were angry. It was just a kiss. I don't care at all."Hearing Ariana's words, Brian thought he must have misheard. "You... You said you don't care at all?""Of course. It's the 21st century. A kiss isn't a big deal. I'm not going to lose sleep over it."Brian was momentarily speechless. Ariana's words made him so angry that he just laughed.So, he was the only one who still cared about it?"You're right. I thought you cared about your chastity more than anything. Looks like I was wrong. Forget what I said before."Brian felt something tighten in his chest. He went upstairs, then stopped halfway, remembering he had come back specifically to talk about their relationsh

    At that moment, Brian's voice came from behind Ariana. "Alright. I agree."Hearing this, Ariana turned around. She hadn't expected him to come back at this moment.She turned too fast and bumped into his chest, banging her nose against the badge on his suit. She stepped back, rubbing her nose. "Mr. Lodge, did you really agree to all that?"From what she remembered, he was never so easy to deal with.Brian said calmly, "What's wrong? Now that I've agreed, you're not happy about it?""If you're on board, of course I'm happy."With that, Ariana acted as though she was afraid he might change his mind. She said to Emily, "You heard it, Ms. Weston. Mr. Lodge is fine with everything. I'll leave the arrangements to you.""Yes, Ms. Torrey."Emily hurried off to prepare Ariana's new room.Ariana looked at Brian. "Mr. Lodge, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go get some rest.""Hold on." Brian suddenly grabbed her arm.Ariana frowned and glanced at his hand, wishing she could slice

    Belinda had seen Gwen's true colors a long time ago. Yet, because Gwen was Ariana's stepmother and the lady of the Torrey family, Belinda treated her with courtesy.But when Belinda thought of Igor's disgraceful behavior from the previous night, she had no desire to humor Gwen any further.She asked indifferently, "Mrs. Torrey, how much money are you hoping to borrow?""Not a lot... just 90 million."Belinda froze. 90 million? That was a bold request indeed."Mrs. Lodge Senior, I know the Lodge family has immense resources. 90 million is just a drop in the bucket for you. Please have mercy on us. We really are facing a crisis, or else I wouldn't be begging for your help."Gwen was anxious to redeem the Aurora Pearls. The seller had said the price would rise again in a couple more days. If she waited too long, even 90 million wouldn't be enough."Mrs. Torrey, you're quite brazen. Do you think we're just a convenient ATM for the Torreys?"Belinda was already displeased with Arian

    Ariana's eyelid twitched as she asked, "Emily, what does this mean?""It's a gift from Mr. Lodge. He asked me to apologize for his impulsive behavior earlier..."Before Emily could finish, Ariana shut the door in her face.Emily called out urgently, "Ms. Torrey! Mr. Lodge really is sorry! He even sent someone to pick you up! Please don't make this difficult for us! We're just following orders! Ms. Torrey!"Inside, Ariana ignored Emily's shouts.However, Gwen hurried downstairs. She pointed at Ariana and snapped, "What's wrong with you? You dare turn away Mr. Lodge's secretary?"Since Igor had offended the Shaw family, Gwen was desperate to latch on to Brian now. She couldn't afford to offend him.Putting on a flattering smile, Gwen opened the door and said to Emily, "Ms. Weston, don't mind Ariana. She's just shy. I'll make sure she goes with you!"Ariana found it laughable to see Gwen currying favor with Emily.Gwen still owed Ariana money, yet she shamelessly suggested sendin
