"Who saw it? I'd like to meet with them," said Victor, looking both intrigued and slightly murderous.Be it abroad or in Gleaston, most people were scared of Victor.Brian knew very well that, even if he asked Fiona to come over, Fiona wouldn't dare accuse Ariana and Victor of having a one-night stand at the hotel.Meanwhile, Emily approached Brian from the side. "Mr. Lodge, we've looked around but couldn't find Ms. Torrey anywhere.""Keep looking until you find her," Brian instructed coldly. "The hotel is not even that big. She must be hiding somewhere.""Will do." Emily immediately increased the manpower in the search for Ariana.Victor, looking uninterested in the manhunt, said, "Mr. Lodge, take your time. I'll leave now."With that, Victor swiped the card and entered his room. At the same time, Ariana had slid out of the Gleaston Grand Hotel when no one was watching, wearing a cap as a disguise.Once again, Brian called her, but she hung up upon seeing the caller ID. Pickin

Not giving Fiona a chance to turn her down, Ariana held Fiona by the arm and hauled her away as their classmates gossiped away in hushed voices."Is Ariana jealous of Fiona because Fiona has been hanging out with Mr. Lodge?""Ariana must be here to confront Fiona. Did you see her face?""Ariana thinks too highly of herself. She has no right to envy Fiona for winning Mr. Lodge's heart. Anyone knows that Ariana is just his fiancée on paper!"Selena glared at the people who were badmouthing Ariana. "What did you guys just say? Repeat that again?"Knowing that Selena was the daughter of the chairman of a newspaper agency, those around her immediately apologized. "Sorry, Selena. That's all nonsense.""Right! It's all nonsense. Don't take it seriously.""I'm warning you—speak ill of Ariana again, and I'll make you suffer." Selena sounded cold.Everyone fell silent. They were afraid of offending Selena.Unlike Ariana, who only had a stepmother, Selena had the backing of her parents

"It's fine. You were just telling the truth, weren't you?" Chuckling, Ariana stated, "I never said I was mad at you.""Ari, how could you not be mad?" Selena was fuming. Even an outsider like her could tell that Fiona was up to no good. How could Ariana be blind to it?Ariana said to Fiona, "Too bad you have a simple mind. If Brian suspects that I'm cheating on him with Mr. Smith and calls off the engagement in a fit of rage, do you think you'll still enjoy his backing, as a student who only got admitted because he pulled some strings for you?"The piteous expression on Fiona's face turned into one of shock.Ariana stated, "Brian pulled strings and got you admitted to Glea College for my sake. If he calls off our engagement, he has no reason to care for you."A scowl formed on Fiona's face. Ariana went on, "Students in Glea College are from high society. The girls here have high standards when it comes to making friends."You're nothing but a distant relative of the Torrey family

"No biggie. It's just a short walk away." Ariana gave Selena a look, hinting at her to take it easy.Despite feeling upset, Selena still walked with Ariana to see Fiona to her class.The professor had not arrived yet, but the classroom was already packed with students.Ariana and Selena saw Fiona to the classroom. At the entrance, Fiona deliberately paused to chat with Ariana. Upon seeing that, her classmates started to speculate about her background.They thought Fiona was a countryside bumpkin, but they were surprised to learn that she was Ariana's cousin and that they had a close relationship.Besides, Brian had called for Fiona in the morning. These incidents combined made them realize that Fiona might have hailed from an impressive background.Once Fiona entered the classroom, Selena hissed indignantly, "Why did you help Fiona? She's using your name to boost her social status! I've seen many girls who acted like that!"Selena had immediately seen through Fiona's little tr

Selena spoke loud enough for Brian to overhear. Looking sullen, he recalled having said the same about Ariana back when she had been following him around.When Selena saw Brian, she boldly said to him, "Mr. Lodge, Ari is trying to attend her classes. What are you doing, looking for her on campus? Are you her guardian or what?"Ariana frowned, looking displeased about Brian. "Mr. Lodge, it's not right to follow me around. Don't you have anything better to do? All you do is find trouble with me. Do you know you're a nuisance?"These words sounded familiar to him. His expression darkened further.Ariana still remembered her past life vividly. Back then, she would deliver lunches to Brian, but he would keep his distance, leaving her trailing behind in her high heels. Exhausted and struggling to keep up, she would face his cold disdain."Ariana, you're shameless for following me around. Don't you have anything better to do? All you ever do is cause trouble for me. Do you realize how

"Mr. Lodge, It seems you have no evidence to back your claims, so please don't block the way. We still need to get to class."Just as Ariana was about to slip past Brian, he reached out and grabbed her arm.Ariana glanced at his hand on her arm and frowned. "Mr. Lodge, please be mindful. I didn't sign my body away to the Lodge family."With that, she led Selena away without another word.Brian was momentarily stunned by her remark.Beside him, Emily couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lodge, could we have misunderstood Ms. Torrey?"Brian clenched his fists tightly.Misunderstanding or not, Ariana's attitude just now left him feeling deeply annoyed."Go and ask Fiona what's really going on!""Yes, Mr. Lodge."Emily quickly led a team upstairs, while Brian rubbed his temples, fatigue setting in.Meanwhile, Selena, still reeling from Ariana's confrontation with Brian, exclaimed, "Ari, I've known you for many years, and I have to say, that was the coolest thing you've ever done! Brian t

Gwen spoke as if everything she said was perfectly reasonable.Ariana recalled her past life. Around the same time, Gwen had thrown a birthday party for Igor. She had leveraged her position as the future in-law of the Lodge family to book another high-end hotel. That event had ended in utter embarrassment, further deepening Brian's disdain for Ariana.In her previous life, Gwen didn't dare overstep her bounds since Brian had no affection for Ariana. However, with Ariana already living in the Lodge residence in this life, Gwen became increasingly brazen, assuming that Ariana had secured her position."Ms. Lambert," Ariana said coolly, "I think we didn't even celebrate my birthday last year. Weren't you the one who told Dad that a young woman should keep a low profile instead of parading herself in public? Am I right?"Gwen remained shameless as ever, even after Ariana dredged up the past. "Guys and girls are not the same. Besides, you've already taken over the company. "What abo

Gwen's words irritated Brian to no end. Since when did he have to deal with such trivial matters?"Mrs. Torrey, I suggest you know your place. Stop taking yourself too seriously," Brian said bluntly with no intention of holding back.He hung up right after that.On the other end of the line, Gwen's face darkened even more as she stared at the disconnected call. She hadn't expected Brian's rejection on this matter. She had already shown off about the party to everyone. How could she maintain her standing in the high society of Gleaston if the party didn't go through?Moments later, Gwen's phone rang again. A member of the Gleaston's high society, Tina Barton, had called, her voice cheerful as she asked, "Mrs. Torrey, is it true Igor's birthday party will be held at the Royal Hotel? My husband says he wants to attend, too!"The question hit too close to the mark. Gwen forced a smile and replied, "Of course, it's true! Why would I lie about that? Ariana is Brian's fiancée, and Igor

"Yes."Gwen gave Jonathan a once-over, her gaze sharp as she realized he was only an assistant manager. She said, "Didn't I request to reserve seats in the event hall? Is everything ready? I want to inspect the venue."Hearing this, Jonathan offered an apologetic smile and replied, "Mrs. Torrey, I'm really sorry, but the event hall is currently fully booked, and it may not be possible to make arrangements for you.""Fully booked?" Gwen frowned, her tone sharp. "How is that possible? When I called earlier, your receptionist said there were still seats available."Jonathan smiled awkwardly and explained, "There were seats earlier, but... A gentleman has since reserved all our halls. So..."But Gwen wasn't willing to let it go. Her face darkened as she retorted, "Mr. Rhys, do you take me for a fool? There are only a handful of well-known figures in this city, and I haven't heard of anyone hosting a large event. Besides, this isn't exactly an affordable venue for most. How much did th

William's expression remained calm and devoid of any extra emotion. He mused, "Giving up a seat for Ms. Ariana's sake is not impossible."Hearing this, Gwen instantly brightened up. "I knew it, Mr. Kingsman! I knew you'd definitely make it happen!"William offered a faint smile and continued, "Since Mrs. Torrey has made the request, we should offer our largest event hall for Mr. Torrey's birthday celebration."At this, Gwen, oblivious to the implications, simply beamed. She smiled ear to ear. "Wonderful! This is the best possible outcome! Mr. Kingsman, you're truly a generous and kind man!"He was far better than that Brian, by any measure!Seeing Gwen's elation, William turned to Jonathan and instructed him, "Proceed as we discussed. Have the payment—double the price—transferred to my account.""Yes, Mr. Kingsman."Without sparing Gwen another glance, William turned and walked away.Gwen, taken aback at first by the mention of payment, thought of chasing after him but stopped
