“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 Arlana had to say, Miranda figured that it made a lot of sense.
Miranda couldn't help feeling amazed.
Ziegler, you've been working for this company for a few years. My father even helped you financially before,

“Alright.”
“However...”
Miranda trailed off, hesitating before she continued, “Although Mr. Wagner had been exaggerating things a little,
it’s still true that Lodge Co. has been specifically targeting Torrey Co. lately, especially today.”
“Today?”
Miranda nodded. “Today, they withdrew funding for many of our projects, and we're now running short on cash
flow. It's hard enough for us to continue without the funding from them, but after the finance department came
out with the reports, we
only got enough liquidity to last us seven days.”
Seven days?
Ariana chuckled coldly.
It seemed as if Brian was avenging Evelyn by forcing Ariana to submit to him.
“Since we're talking about funding, I'm planning to take out a loan from the bank.”
Miranda frowned. “Take out a loan from the bank? That's too risky. | personally wouldn't recommend it.”
“Think of a way to take out a 500 million-dollar loan from the bank. Use it to fund the real estate projects that
Lodge Co. rescinded their funding from. As for future company funding, leave them to me.”
Miranda hesitated. “Ms. Torrey, that’s 500 million dollars you're talking about. The bank may not agree to grant it
to us. Also, we will also need a lot of funding for the other ongoing projects.”
n
Givea detailed report on those. I'll get back to you within seven days with a solution”
“Okay,” Miranda answered, still hesitating.
Even though she’d agreed to it, Miranda still didn’t think that Ariana would be able to raise so much money
within seven days-not unless she kowtowed to Brian.

That afternoon, Ariana left the company. The person Brian sent to keep an eye on Ariana immediately called
Emily, who was at Brian's office.
After learning of the news, Emily went into Brian's office rather anxiously.

Brian didn’t even look up to acknowledge her, “What's up? as she finally decided to submit?”
Emily hesitated before answering, “After Ms. Torrey left the company, she’s now gone shopping”
“Shopping?”
Brian looked up at once, frowning Instinctively.
Had Ariana lost her mind? Her company was facing a crisis, and yet, she still had the mood to go shopping?
“Mr. Lodge...
Brian scoffed coldly and said, “As expected, she’s just a dumb heiress who only knows how to enjoy life. Alright
then, since she’s not planning to give in, | don’t have to show her any mercy anymore. I'm going to make her
suffer even more. I'll show her what it means to go against me!”
“But Mr. Lodge, if Mrs. Lodge Senior were to find out about this, she won't be happy about it...”
ing a finger on Brian glanced at Emily and said coldly, “Ariana should have known the consequences before
laying a Evelyn! The fact that I'm doing this to her is already going easy on her for my grandmother's sake!”
Emily was speechless. “Yes, Mr. Lodge.”
She then excused herself from his office and turned to leave, Brian suddenly thought of something and stopped
her. “Stop right there!”
“Is there anything else, Mr. Lodge?
