Chapter 11

Gwen wanted nothing more than for Ariana to get back together with Brian as soon as possible. After all, she and Igor would both benefit from Ariana's marriage to Brian too.Ariana raised her eyebrow and smiled when she saw how anxious Gwen seemed to be. "Yes.""Really? That's awesome!" Gwen exclaimed.She continued, "I knew it! I knew that Mr. Lodge still had feelings for you. Otherwise, he'd never have asked you out on a date!""Ms. Lambert, I think you're mistaken. Mr. Lodge met with me to discuss canceling the engagement.""Then…"Under Gwen's shaky eyes, Ariana punctuated each word she said next. "The wedding is off.""What? It's off?"Gwen nearly fainted when she heard what Ariana said. Igor hurried forward to hold Gwen up. Then, he yelled at Ariana, "Ariana, you're going overboard! How could you make your own decision about canceling the engagement without talking to us? Do you even care about us?""It's my engagement, so of course I'm the one calling the shots. There

"Ms. Torrey, these are all unimportant documents. I'm sure you won't be interested in them. Let me take you to the break room," John said with a smile.In other words, John just didn't want Ariana poking her nose into any of the company's affairs.Seeing this, Ariana immediately held her hand out and said, "Show me the documents.""But…""Mr. Wagner, are you implying that you are the boss of this company now?"Faced with such a headstrong question, John hurriedly denied it and said, "I wouldn't dare! Ms. Torrey, if you want to look at them, we will let you look at them. I'm just worried that you might not understand them…""How about this—we can forget about going to the break room and head over to the CEO's office straight away. In the meantime, I'll also be going through all the company's documents that need to be signed over.""Ms. Torrey…"Ariana cut John off without blinking. She then looked at Miranda and said, "Ms. Ziegler, right? Go and get the documents for me. Mr. Wag

"You don't have to. I'm just skimming through," Ariana said, starting to look as if she was going through the figures on the report meticulously.She purposely read through the report painstakingly slowly from the first page until the last page. Meanwhile, John was still standing opposite her, and he felt an immense pressure watching her. His legs had turned to jelly and he could barely stand upright.What did it mean for him to have embezzled tens of millions of dollars from the company? It would mean he had to spend the rest of his life in jail!Suddenly, Ariana threw the reports onto the table with a loud slam.John was so startled that he very nearly fell to his knees right then and there. However, to his surprise, he heard Ariana mumble, "What the heck are all these numbers? There are so many of them. Who'd know what they meant?"John froze when he heard Ariana say that. Did that mean she couldn't understand a thing on the report?Miranda also heard what Ariana said. She fro

"Ms. Torrey, are you just pretending to be a wolf in sheep's clothing then?" Miranda asked."Something like that," Ariana said. She continued, "Don't alert them of this just yet. We need to slowly collect evidence. The way that they embezzled the company's funds has undoubtedly affected the shareholders' returns. "Wait until we've got enough evidence and have gotten rid of their contacts in the company. That'll be the time when we send them to prison."Miranda stared at Ariana for a long while. She finally said, "Ms. Torrey, you seem different from before."The Ariana Miranda used to know was smart, too, but she didn't know anything about the business industry or how things ran. However, after hearing what Ariana had to say, Miranda figured that it made a lot of sense.Miranda couldn't help feeling amazed."Ms. Ziegler, you've been working for this company for a few years. My father even helped you financially before, so I hope that you'll take my side.""I'll help you, Ms. Tor

"If Ariana wants to see me, tell her I'm busy," Brian said."But Mr. Lodge, didn't you say that you wanted her to give in to you?" Emily asked."I want her to be helpless and desperate with no one else to help her."A cold glint appeared in Brian's eyes. He continued, "I want her to get on her knees and beg Evelyn for forgiveness."…At that moment, Ariana was busy purchasing some health supplements and skincare products. While she was on her way downstairs for a cup of coffee, she suddenly caught sight of a bodyguard in black shadowing her out of the corner of her eye.The black-clothed bodyguard stood out like a sore thumb amongst the other shoppers. Everyone's attention was on him.Ariana couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling softly to herself when she saw this.Brian was overestimating her by getting someone to shadow her like this. Was he worried that she would hurt Evelyn? Or was he just waiting to see if she would get desperate trying to save her company?Ariana

"Ariana, did he apologize?" Belinda asked.With Belinda questioning her like that, Ariana purposely cocked her head to glance briefly at Brian.Seeing that Ariana was about to speak, Brian suddenly realized that she might be harboring ill will toward him and that she could spout nonsense to Belinda. So, he quickly rushed forward and grabbed Ariana by the arm, roughly yanking her to her feet."Grandma, I've got something to discuss privately with Ms. Torrey. We're going upstairs."With that, Brian tugged Ariana up the stairs with huge strides.Everything had happened so suddenly. By the time Belinda finally realized it, she shouted at Brian, "Brian, you imbecile! Ari is a woman! I'm not going to forgive you if you bully her!"Brian pulled Ariana to the second floor and threw her onto the bed. Then, he locked the bedroom door behind him."What are you trying to do, Mr. Lodge?"Ariana leaned against the side of the bed and looked at Brian, standing at the door, with mischievous ey

"So, does that mean we have no deal?" Ariana asked."What do you think?" Brian snapped.Ariana knew that Brian wasn't someone who took her threats seriously. The only reason why she came over today was to remind him that she had her boundaries as well. Even the tamest of dogs wouldn't hesitate to attack when faced with danger—what more herself? Furthermore, she wasn't going to be a pushover."Want to make a bet, Mr. Lodge?""What bet?""I bet that you'll meet your downfall very soon if you continue working against me."Brian didn't respond.Ariana got to her feet and turned to leave. At the door, she paused for a bit and said, "By the way, Mr. Lodge, I forgot to tell you that I haven't told your grandmother that you've been targeting me. Do you want to guess whose side she'll take once I tell her afterward?""Ariana Torrey!""Brian Lodge, the fact that I haven't told her that you're targeting the Torreys shows that I'm being sincere here. You'd better stop it with your stupi

"Since you're the one who made the promise, Ms. Lambert, then you should think of a solution yourself."Arian then turned to the maid by the side, Summer Sanchez, and said, "Summer, arrange for a hotel room for Ms. Piper here. Ms. Piper can stay there for however long she wishes to. However, she needs to know who the real head of this household is. Ms. Piper, don't you think so?"Ariana hadn't missed the look Fiona gave her earlier. When Fiona heard this, a look of fear came over her face at once. She looked toward Gwen for help.Gwen flew into a rage and yelled, "Excuse me, Ariana Torrey? You're not even the head of the household yet, and you're already throwing your weight around, I see. Don't forget that I always end up being in charge! How dare you say such a thing to us?""Ms. Lambert, I have always been the one in charge of things in the Torrey household. In the past, I only treated you with respect seeing that you were older than me, which was why I handed the reins to you.

Chapter 19

The car rolled to a stop at the college entrance. Selena then followed Ariana into the seventh-floor lecture hall in Block A.Since William had already started his talk for more than ten minutes, the entire hall was dead silent and solemn.Selena just stood at the entrance and peeked into the hall. She sighed and said, "It reeks of brains inside. I think we're a little too late…"Before she managed to finish her sentence, Ariana threw the door open and walked in. Selena's first instinct was to curse aloud."What the fuck?"Inside the hall, hundreds of pairs of eyes were suddenly on Ariana. William was also one of the people who looked at her.William was wearing a white button-up shirt with his sleeves slightly rolled up. He was tall and lanky and had deep-set features on his face. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and his brows gave him a cold and aloof aura.Ariana said aloud, "I'm sorry I'm late, sir!"Her haughty voice rang loudly in the hall, making some

Chapter 20

Ariana was rendered speechless.She had indeed said that, but it was back when she was trying to defend Brian by talking shit about William to some wealthy socialites at a party.Nobody told her that William was such a petty person who held on to grudges like this! Also, how did he even learn about what she'd said about him that night?Ariana tried to calm herself down. Getting a grip of herself, she answered, "Mr. Kingsman, Goldfront Bay is only worth 500 million dollars. Brian faked the information to lure you into taking the bait and making you lose money."William released Ariana and took a seat on the couch, pouring himself a cup of coffee. He didn't even bat an eyelid as he said, "Keep talking.""The starting price for Goldfront Bay is 300 million dollars. Brian is planning to get someone to raise the bidding price to 4 billion dollars. When that happens, you're going to lose more than 3 billion dollars, Mr. Kingsman. "And with that, your finances will take a hit. That's h
