Gwen felt sick at the thought of how much money she had lost.
Ariana didn’t care about Gwen's losses and deliberately drove away in the sports car that Gwen had sent over.
Admiring the vibrant red color, she said with satisfaction, “This sports car is fantastic. | love it. Thanks, Ms.
Lambert.”
With that, Ariana got into the driver's seat, leaving Gwen on the verge of fainting again in the driveway.
In the rearview mirror, Ariana saw Gwen raging in the front yard. A faint smile curved her lips.
“Gwen, did you think this was over? No, it has only just begun,” Ariana thought.
Meanwhile, Brian was busy at Lodge Co.
“Mr. Lodge, aren't you going to step in? The Torrey family is in chaos, and Ms. Torrey might not be able to handle

Hearing this, Emily glanced at Brian, waiting for his instruction.
Brian said, “Grandma, this isn’t Ariana’s fault.”
“Not her fault? The Torrey family made fools of themselves. That's huge, and you want to hide it from me?”
The Shaw family was a major presence in their circle. If their future daughter-in-law offended them, the
consequences might not be worth it.
Brian knew exactly what Belinda meant and tried to figure out a way to smooth things over. Suddenly, there was

Ariana kept her composure. “Last night, my brother acted recklessly. He offended Ms. Shaw and tried to force a
kiss on her after drinking...”
“He’s too impudent!” Belinda slammed her hand on the desk and stood up.
Seeing this, Emily was startled, not daring to say a word.
