Chapter 179
Ariana lowered her gaze slightly.
Belinda said, “Igor is already 19, isn’t he? Why can’t he watch his mouth? | heard he’s been going around saying
he’s the future brother-in-law of the Lodge family. What's that about? Does he think the Lodges will back him up
if he causes trouble?”
Brian spoke up. “Grandma, I'll handle this.”
“How exactly will you handle it?” Belinda glanced at Brian ‘Are you going to call off the engagement with the
Torrey family?”
At the mention of calling off the engagement, Ariana’s lips curved slightly. She had allowed Igor to run wild at the
banquet precisely because she knew Belinda’s temperament.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her past life, Igor had acted the sway at a banquet. He ended up offending the Shaw family.
At that time, Ariana kept apologizing to the Shaw family on Igor’s behalf and ended up disgracing the Lodge
family. When Belinda found out, she began to dislike Ariana
In her previous life, Ariana went to great lengths to win Belinda’s favor once more. She did many humbling
things, and only then did Belinda finally accept her again as Brian's fiancée.
In this life, she had no intention of chasing Belinda’s approval. She let Igor do as he pleased to make Belinda give
up on her.
As long as Belinda agreed to call off the engagement, even if Brian was unwilling, he would have no choice but
to end it.
“Grandma, it's just the Shaw family. They don’t matter much to me,” Brian said calmly. “Besides, last night Ari
already apologized to Mr. Shaw and his family. This was her brother's mistake, and Mr. Shaw has already given
him a lesson. It has nothing to do with Ari.”
Brian kept calling her “Ari,” and it made her feel sick. She remembered he had ignored her at the banquet last
night, showing up with Evelyn instead. Yet now, he was pretending to be the devoted fiancé standing up for her.
“You may say that, but the Torrey family’s reputation right now...” Belinda fixed Ariana with a cold stare. “Ariana,
| need to think carefully about your marriage to Brian.”
Belinda knew how much Ariana had adored Brian before. She only wanted to test Ariana’s compliance. If Ariana
knew her place, she would figure out how to please Belinda
Ariana said, “Madam Mackle, last night's incident did tarnish the Lodge family’s reputation Funderstand that I'm
unfit to be Brian’s wife, and | don’t want to hold him back.,
She hadn't finished speaking, but Brian already knew what she was about to say. His brows furrowed slightly.
Before Ariana could say another word, he stepped forward and took her hand in his. “Grandma, what Ari means
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmis. that from now on she'll fulfill her duties and be a proper wife. There won't be any more incidents like last
night.”
Ariana tried to pull her hand away, but Brian's grip was too strong. He didn’t give her any chance to break free.
She had no idea what Brian was trying to do.
