All Chapters of A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer the Backup: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Hearing Selena's words, Ariana started examining the test paper in front of her more carefully.Sure enough, it was the doctoral finance exam paper. The title was right there, and she had only just noticed it now.Worst of all, she had already spent seven days working on these questions."Doctoral exam questions... No wonder I found it so difficult.""Difficult? You didn't attend any classes at all this year, yet you managed to answer this much? Ari, how did you pull that off?"Ariana really had not been writing at random. In her previous life, she spent three years at Lodge Co., helping Brian handle company matters. She had a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of finance.After gaining three years of practical experience, working through these questions was actually much easier for her. It felt like a lower-level challenge.Looking at her nearly filled answer sheet, Ariana smiled. "I've got this."Meanwhile, Elise arrived at Lodge Co. She wore a beige designer short sk

Gwen had previously taken out a loan of 90 million, so now she was out of money.Since Brian had broken off his engagement with Ariana, Gwen had found herself ostracized in social circles. Even the few friends who used to take her calls now ignored her.With no one to turn to, she came to Belinda.Belinda sat primly on the couch, looking tired. "Mrs. Torrey, what brings you here?" she asked indifferently.Gwen quickly said, "Mrs. Lodge Senior, I'm here to talk about Ariana and Mr. Lodge's situation."She tried to curry favor with Belinda.Belinda's voice stayed cool. "That's up to the two of them. Since they decided to end it, you shouldn't interfere."She disliked Ariana's behavior of late. She had no desire for Ariana to be a part of the family.Gwen said hurriedly, "I know Ariana let you down, Mrs. Lodge Senior. That's why I'm here to solve this problem for you.""Oh? What do you mean by that?""I know Ariana has been willful, and I've heard you've taken a liking to Ms. Qu

The employees whispered among themselves, their tones dripping with sarcasm.Brian glanced at the food on the desk and told Emily, "Clean it up.""Yes, Mr. Lodge."Emily briskly gathered the dishes and tossed them into a trash bin. Then, the security guards carried the bin away.Brian took a seat in his chair. He suddenly remembered how Ariana used to bring him lunch.Back then, Ariana was so timid that she never entered his office. She would leave the lunch at the door, afraid of bothering him, and quickly leave.In the beginning, Brian threw all of it away.After Ariana discovered that, she never brought lunch again, fearing it would trouble him to dispose of it.But thinking of Ariana now...Brian suddenly turned to Emily. "Was I too harsh on Ariana back then?""I'd say you were a bit harsh," Emily said hesitantly.In fact, Brian treated Ariana so badly that even "harsh" wasn't enough to describe it.Brian asked again, "What is Ariana doing right now?""Ms. Torrey... Sh

Thinking of this, Fiona couldn't help but quietly resent Ariana.Ariana could have stayed as Brian's fiancée, but she'd insisted on breaking off the engagement. Because of that, Fiona couldn't even hold her head up at college.Just then, the head of the faculty walked into the classroom, looking around for someone.When he saw Fiona, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Fiona, come out quickly. Someone is looking for you.""Who's looking for me?" Fiona asked nervously.She was afraid it was her parents from the countryside. If so, her classmates would laugh at her."It's someone from the Lodge family. Hurry up, don't keep them waiting."Hearing it was someone from the Lodge family, Fiona's eyes lit up.Her classmates looked at each other, totally confused. They didn't understand what was going on.Ariana had already been rejected by the Lodge family, so why would they reach out to a distant relative of the Torrey family?At that moment, a single thought occurred to every

Selena gave Ariana a desperate look.Ariana gestured for Selena to escape quickly.Earlier, Selena had spread rumors that Brian was impotent. Because of that, her family had already become his target.Selena's parents had told her more than once not to provoke Brian. So, she quickly came up with an excuse to leave. "I have something to take care of at home. Mr. Lodge, I'll leave you to talk with Ari."With that, she dashed off.After Selena left, the room was even quieter.Ariana looked at Brian as though nothing mattered. "Mr. Lodge, did you need something?"Brian walked closer to Ariana. "I had no idea you cared about me so much."Ariana froze. When had she ever cared about him? Did anything she said to Selena just now sound like she cared? She was only worried about herself."What... do you want?"Ariana became more cautious. She was afraid Brian would have other ideas.Brian and Evelyn were like time bombs to her. She would rather keep her distance from Brian forever, bu
