“That's just one of her tactics. She’s trying to get with William to makeregret everything. There's no need to
be bothered by such petty schemes,” Brian explained.
“Ms. Torrey, that’s your lounge.” A staff member's voice caught Brian's attention.
Ariana walked in wearing a fitted black dress that highlighted her elegance. Her hair was styled in waves behind
her back. Her beauty was breathtaking even with minimal makeup.
Even the staff couldn't help taking a second look.
Ariana said, ““There’s no need. Let's start as soon as possible.
“Understood. We'll start right away.”

The door to the lounge opened, and Ariana turned to see Evelyn step out. The latter was dressed in a class
Chanel outfit that radiated a gentle and refined demeanor.
“I'm so sorry about yesterday, Ms. Torrey.” Evelyn apologized, but her actions seemed deliberate as she subtly
allowed Ariana to catch a glimpse of Brian in the lounge.

“Ms. Torrey, it's tfor you to go onstage.” A member of staff walked up to Ariana, who nodded and followed

“Everything's ready, Mr. Lodge.”
Brian responded with a soft hum before getting up and heading for the stage.
Evelyn remained in place and watched the two head up the stage to clarify the situation. Her heart raced with
anticipation.
She couldn't help but wonder how great it would be if they could officially break off the engagement today.
The stage was illuminated by countless flashing cameras as Ariana and Brian took their seats on opposite sides.

firsthand experience.”

Her words implied a jab at Evelyn. Sreporters snickered as they caught onto the hidden insinuation, but
Brian's frown deepened.
However, Ariana looked entirely unbothered. Their paths would diverge after today, so she wasn’t afraid of
offending Brian in the slightest.
Another reporter threw a second question forward. “Does this mean the engagement will be called off today, Ms.
Torrey and Mr. Lodge?”
