Ariana’s expression was dark. She started, “This isn’t-"

Gwen cut her off. “Ariana would never fall for someone else when she’s so in love with you, Mr. Lodge! There
must be a misunderstanding here!”
“It does seem that way,” Brian said sarcastically as he picked up the things that had fallen to the floor. There
were merchandise items along with the photos.
“I'm sure you can tell how much Ariana likes you, Mr. Lodge Mrs. Lodge Senior also adores her, so the
engagement......
“Calling off the engagement is a done deal, Ms. Lambert. M. Lodge and | will end things on a nice note, and he'll
stop attacking our family because of our past relationship. Isn’t that right, Mr. Lodge?” Ariana gave Brian an
opportunity to resolve this mess without things getting ugly.
Brian held onto a bolster and asked, “When did | ever say anything about calling off the engagement?

“You” Ariana started.
“Also, who told you it’s a done deal?” He sneered. “Are you trying to use reverse psychology onso I'll call off
the engagement and let you get together with William? Dream on.”
“Mr. Lodge, you made it clear that

“I may not like you, but I didn’t say anything about not marrying you. I'll hold a press conference in a couple of
days to explain the whole debacle on that.”
Ariana protested, “But you-"
“I'll leave the preparations to you, Mrs. Torrey. | don’t want to see a repeat of what happened before,” Brian said.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lodge. | guarantee nothing like that will happen again!” Gwen exclaimed.
Ariana’s expression turned hideous. In her past life, Brian had refused to get engaged with her despite her
clinging to him and throwing herself at him. Now that she'd been reborn, why was he the one who was so
insistent on going through with the engagement?
Once Brian was gone, Gwen said in delight, “This is great! We've finally secured the position of being Mr. Lodge's
wife!”
There wasn’t a hint of a smile on Ariana’s face. She walked toward the boxed everything inside, and dragged
it out of the house.
This took Gwen aback. “What are you doing now?”
She watched as Ariana started a fire in the backyard and burned the whole box. She cried, “Have you lost your
mind, Ariana? What are you doing? Why are you acting like this when Mr. Lodge has already made it clear that he
won't hold you accountable for what happened?”
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Ariana turned to give her a sharp look. It instantly made her shrink
back.
Ariana said, “This is my first and last twarning you, Ms Lambert. Don’t go into my room without my
permission.”
“You...” Gwen paled in fright when she met Ariana’s sharp gaze. The latter had never looked like this in the past.

“There's one more thing-I've been looking Into the company’s accounts recently, and there seem to be some
problems. | don’t think that has anything to do with you, right?” Arlana asked.
Gwen stiffened at her words. “The a-accounts?”
John had told her Ariana knew nothing about accounting and bookkeeping, Why was she suddenly asking about
it?
“I'm going to the company tomorrow to ask the accountants to check everything carefully. You'd better be ready
for that.” Ariana gently patted Gwen's shoulder.
Gwen felt a chill run down her spine. She’d embezzled tens of millions of dollars from the company over the
years. If she got caught...
No! She had to think of a way to marry Ariana off as soon as possible! She couldn't let Ariana check the
accounts!
