All Chapters of A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer the Backup: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Ariana and William's intimately close interaction quickly caught Brian's eye."Ariana!"A deep voice, tinged with anger, reached Ariana's ears. She turned around and saw Brian striding toward her and William, his expression grim."Looks like you're in big trouble." William, standing beside her, spoke with a mocking tone.Ariana lowered her voice as well. "Don't worry, Mr. Kingsman. If I go down, you won't be doing much better."Hearing that, William's lips curved into a faintly amused smile.Brian walked up to Ariana and noticed the necklace she was still holding, the one she'd just won at the auction.Brian sneered, "Mr. Kingsman is really generous. He didn't hesitate to spend 150 million just to give you this necklace.""It's all right," Ariana replied. She lifted the necklace in her hand and said, "I saw that you seemed to like it too, Mr. Lodge. What's the matter? Planning to give it to Ms. Granger?"That one remark turned Brian's tone even colder. "You already know the an

Maddie and Lila stopped laughing and changed their expressions.Lila raised her chin haughtily. "What makes you think it was us? Got any proof?""Exactly. You're just panicking and looking for someone to blame," Maddie said in a mocking tone. "We didn't post those photos, but whoever did, wrote the truth. You're Mr. Lodge's fiancée, yet you cozy up to all these other men. That's just indecent! If you're shameless enough to do that, don't blame others for calling you out!""Right! You dress provocatively and use your looks to lure men in. You deserve all the criticism!"The two took turns piling on the insults, making Ariana laugh out loud.Maddie frowned. "What are you laughing at?""I'm laughing because... Even at our age, you still don't know defamation is a crime?" Ariana said. "There are surveillance cameras all around this place. A quick check and I'll know exactly who pulled this stunt. Then, I can collect the evidence and go straight to the police. That'll show whoever did

Brian followed the path of the torn flyer toward the bulletin board. Then, he saw a piece of it still clinging there.At this, Brian's expression grew grim."B-Brian... This must be a misunderstanding." Evelyn grew nervous, trying to explain.Brian held the flyer up to Evelyn's face. "You knew about this, didn't you?"He wasn't a fool. From the way Evelyn had just defended Maddie and Lila, he could tell she'd been aware.Faced with his question, Evelyn bit her lip.Brian's suspicions solidified. "Eve, you've really let me down."With that, Brian turned away with the flyer in hand and walked off."Brian!"Evelyn tried to follow, but Emily blocked her. "Ms. Granger, please stay here."Then, Emily hurried after Brian.Downstairs by the classroom building, Emily asked, "Mr. Lodge, should we look for Ms. Torrey?"Glancing at the flyer in his hand, Brian's face grew even darker. "No need!"She'd clearly been wronged but didn't want to tell him. She hadn't even explained a single

All eyes turned to Evelyn again. Judging by Lila's reaction, who would believe Evelyn was completely innocent?"I... I really didn't know. If I had, I never would've let them do something so hurtful to Ms. Torrey."Evelyn tried to look innocent, as though she were the one being wronged. She'd always acted the part of the refined, kindhearted socialite on campus. It was hard to imagine she would go after Ariana out of jealousy, let alone using such cheap tactics.But with Lila and Maddie taken away, even if Evelyn said she didn't know anything, she couldn't escape being associated with it."Relax, Ms. Granger," the lawyer said. "I was simply asking in passing. Without concrete evidence, there's no reason to bring you in for questioning."As instructed by Ariana, he made a point of rattling Evelyn before leaving with the others.Evelyn was still shaking, unable to compose herself. If rumors spread that she'd played a role in this, how could she ever hold her head up again?Thinkin

Torrey Co. really was in crisis, but its network and supply chain were well established. Otherwise, why would Brian agree to marry her?It was all for the decades-old Torrey brand, plus the skilled employees and those extensive connections."Madam Mackle, I'm not yet part of the Lodge family. My father left Torrey Co. to me. Igor is just a lazy bum with no real skills. If I handed the company to him, I'd be letting my father down.""Ariana, you...""Madam Mackle, my mind is made up," Ariana said calmly. "I can live here at the Lodge residence, but I absolutely will not hand the company over to Igor and Gwen.""You! When did you become so disobedient?"Belinda was clearly unhappy. In the past, Ariana hadn't shown any interest in her family business.Now, she was acting like a completely different person."Madam Mackle, if there's nothing else, I need to go upstairs and take care of some Torrey Co. matters."With that, Ariana headed upstairs.Belinda frowned as she watched Ari
