All Chapters of A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer the Backup: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Brian's car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.As Emily opened the car door, he glanced at the hotel, and his face darkened. "This is it, Mr. Lodge."Such places were designed as entertainment hubs for wealthy heirs like Vance. It featured numerous themed rooms and ensured a high level of privacy, so it was a popular spot among the riches for their meetups.Vance ran out of the hotel stark naked. There was a terrified expression on his face as if he'd encountered a monstrous beast.When he spotted Brian, he ran over and clung to the latter's leg. He cried out, "Mr. Lodge, please save me!"Two bodyguards armed with electric batons stormed out of the hotel, and both of them wore Kingsman Co. logos on their uniforms. It was clear William had sent them to teach Vance a lesson."Mr. Lodge, they… Ah!" Halfway through his words, Brian had kicked him aside.Stunned, he stammered, "Mr. L… Mr. Lodge?""Where's Ariana?" Brian's voice was icy. Vance assumed the former was upset about

Halfway through Gwen's words, Ariana forcibly shook her off. The former was caught off balance and nearly stumbled down the stairs.Igor rushed to help Gwen and glared at Ariana. He snapped, "My mom apologized! What more do you want!"Standing on the stairs, Ariana looked down at the pair of heartless schemers, and her eyes glinted with disdain. "Actions have consequences. This jacket I'm wearing comes from Mr. Kingsman. What will you do if you accidentally tear it?"Gwen's face turned instantly pale as she noticed the black suit draped over Ariana's shoulders. It seemed Ariana was telling the truth."Don't worry, Ms. Lambert. We'll settle scores after I end my engagement with Brian."Ariana turned to head upstairs, but Gwen quickly lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. "What? You're breaking off the engagement?"You can't! You're not sure if Mr. Kingsman has decided to marry you. If you call off the engagement now, Torrey Co. will be saddled with debt, and the Lodges won't let u

"That's just one of her tactics. She's trying to get with William to make me regret everything. There's no need to be bothered by such petty schemes," Brian explained."Ms. Torrey, that's your lounge." A staff member's voice caught Brian's attention.Ariana walked in wearing a fitted black dress that highlighted her elegance. Her hair was styled in waves behind her back. Her beauty was breathtaking even with minimal makeup.Even the staff couldn't help taking a second look. Ariana said, "There's no need. Let's start as soon as possible.""Understood. We'll start right away."The door to the lounge opened, and Ariana turned to see Evelyn step out. The latter was dressed in a class Chanel outfit that radiated a gentle and refined demeanor."I'm so sorry about yesterday, Ms. Torrey." Evelyn apologized, but her actions seemed deliberate as she subtly allowed Ariana to catch a glimpse of Brian in the lounge.Even at a time like this, Evelyn still felt the need to declare her claim

"I… I…" Evelyn bit her lip and instinctively glanced toward Brian. He frowned and was displeased with the situation she was being put through.He stood up and announced, "Evelyn and I are just friends.""There's no need for you to speak on her behalf! Let Ms. Granger explain herself," Belinda interjected sharply and turned to Evelyn."...Me and Brian, we're just friends.""Yet rumors claimed that you attempted to harm yourself for Brian. Is that true?" a reporter asked.Belinda grabbed Evelyn's left hand. The latter had a pale face and her wrist wrapped in a clean bandage. It seemed that she was injured.Evelyn flinched and refused to comply, but Belinda decisively tore off the bandage to reveal Evelyn's unharmed wrist. Not a single scar or wound marred her skin.Gasps rippled through the room as the reporters murmured amongst themselves. The color drained from Evelyn's face.Belinda sneered. "As you can see, it's all nothing but a misunderstanding. Ms. Granger's wrist is clean

"Alright. Don't feel bad about it. I'll have Emily send you home," Brian said as he gently patted Evelyn on the head.Evelyn's heart went into a brief panic when she realized Brian wasn't planning to send her home himself. But she knew she couldn't push her luck.She lowered her head slightly and said, "That's good… Brian, I really can't lose you." With that, she got into Emily's car.Meanwhile, Ariana was going to leave. Just as she turned a corner, she was pulled aside and found Brian pinning her to the wall."What are you doing!" Ariana tried to resist, but Brian held her firmly in place. His cold voice followed. "You seem to be in quite a hurry to leave.""Aren't you supposed to be comforting Evelyn? Why are you here?" Arian frowned. It was clear she refused further engagement with him.Brian released her arm but didn't step back. "Ariana, are you disappointed we didn't call off the engagement?" He'd noticed the flickering dissatisfaction in her eyes.Ariana responded with a
