Brian’s grip on Ariana’s arm suddenly tightened.
Ariana felt a sharp pain that forced a hiss through her teeth, cold sweat instantly beading on her forehead.
“Brian, you're hurting me!”
Brian realized he’d lost control, noticing his hand was pressing on one of her injuries. He quickly let go.
Ariana seized that chance to back away from him.
“Whether it’s William or Victor, none of that concerns you. We've already called off our engagement, so you have
no right to question me. That was our agreement, remember?”
Seeing how determined she was to cut ties with him, Brian let out a cold laugh. “Looks like you really did latch on
to those two men.”
“Think whatever you want.” Ariana had no desire to waste more words on him.
“Ariana, neither of them is someone your status can handle I'll wait for the day you cbegging me.”

With that, Ariana picked up the crutch off the floor and hobbled toward the stairs.
A maid wanted to help her, but Brian's glare made her stop.
So, she wanted to keep her distance? There was no way he would let that happen.
Early the next morning, Ariana got up intending to leave the Lodge residence right away. But she found Martha
reopening her suitcase and taking out all the belongings Ariana had packed the night before.
“Martha, what's going on?”
Martha heard her voice and quickly stood up. “Mr. Lodge said it’s hard to find a place near Glea College on short
notice. Arranging a comfortable setup will take time, so please stay a while longer until it’s ready.”
Ariana’s brows furrowed.
Hard to find a place? That was ridiculous.
With Brian's status in Gleaston, if he had wanted to buy a place, he wouldn't have had to look hard. Any real
estate developer would have been thrilled to offer him the best property,
What had he been up to?
“Where is he? | want to talk to him.”
“Mr. Lodge went to the office early and said he wouldn't be huntil tonight.”
Martha continued unpacking Ariana’s things.
Ariana tried another tack. “Didn't Madam Mackle say she wantedout of here as soon as possible? Isn't he
afraid of angering her by not listening to her?”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Torrey. Mr. Lodge spoke to Madam Macke this morning, and she agreed!”
“She agreed?”
Ariana froze, completely caught off guard. How could that be possible?

Chapter 239
Belinda had always wanted her to move out as soon as possible. How could she have agreed so easily? Could
she really not see through Brian's flimsy excuse about not being able to find a place?
No, something was definitely off.
“Martha, how e
exactly did Mr. Lodge notify Madam Mackle this morning?” Ariana asked.
“He didn’t say much. He just mentioned that it's hard to find a place right now and suggested letting you stay
here for a few more days to recover. He also brought up the matter of his blind date.”
Martha hesitated to mention the blind date. Ariana had been Brian's fiancée just days ago, and now he was
already seeing other women. It might hurt her feelings.
But to her surprise, Ariana wasn’t upset at all. When she heard that Brian was going on a blind date, her lips.
nearly stretched into a broad grin.
