“Grandma, Eve persuaded Ariana to make up withand sincerely wished us well. You've misunderstood her.
She has never intended to make herself the lady of the Lodges.”
Belinda found it laughable that Brian was still defending Evelyn. “You're naive! Do you believe everything she
says? Now | understand why Ariana insists on calling off the engagement. You're truly cunning, Ms. Granger.”
