Ariana parted her lips, but Belinda had already waved at her before she could explain herself.
Belinda stated, “You need to hurry up and givea great-grandbaby, Ariana.”
Evelyn's eyes reddened more when she heard Belinda’s words. In the next second, she bawled while running out
of the Lodge family’s gates.
“Eve!” Brian ran after Evelyn right away. Before leaving, he snapped his head to glower at Ariana.
Only a grim expression showed in Ariana’s eyes.
Although she wasn’t afraid of being misunderstood by Brian, she still disliked the feeling of being framed.
Belinda knew Brian would chase after Evelyn. Even so, she wasn’t worried. She merely looked at Ariana and said,
"Sit.

“Did you say that on purpose earlier, Mrs. Lodge Senior?”
Belinda wasn’t offended by the accusatory tone in Ariana’s voice. She responded, “The deed is already done.
You're now the Lodge family’s granddaughter-in-law. You needn't worry because Evelyn can never threaten your
position”
Evelyn couldn't threaten her position? Belinda was truly something else for pulling this stunt. Her one sentence
was enough to make Brian doubt me. She was forcing her to be the Lodge family’s granddaughter-in-law. At the
stime, she was preventing Ariana from escaping her control.
Ariana couldn't help but recall how she used to model herself after Evelyn in her past life. Belinda knew it but
never stopped her from doing so. That was because Belinda knew she could never win Brian’s heart, even if she
resembled Evelyn to a tee.
As for Ariana, she could only keep trying to please Belinda in hopes of becoming Brian's fiancee,
Ariana used to think Belinda genuinely cared about her. Who would have known the Lodge family’s members
were all capable of such extrschemes?
“I'm heading hif there’s nothing else you need, Mrs. Lodge Senior.” Ariana then gathered her clothes and
left the Lodge residence at once.
Belinda couldn’t help but frown after seeing Ariana behave that way.
Francine, who stood beside Belinda, spoke up just then. “Mrs. Lodge Senior, that Ms. Torrey is getting harder and
harder to control. | used to think she was an obedient kid, but | never would've guessed-"
“She's still better than that Evelyn,” Belinda pointed out co dly. “We'll just have to make do.”
When Ariana returned to the Torrey residence, Gwen was already waiting there. Her eyes lit up after seeing
Brian's shirt on Ariana. “Aril Did you do it last night....?”
Ariana couldnt be bothered to look at Gwen’s money-hungry expression. She merely scowled and wanted to go
upstairs.
Gwen instantly followed Ariana when the latter was about to leave. She asked, “Have you already slept with Mr.
Lodge, Ari? | knew you'd be able to do it! Does that mean our family will no longer be at risk? Have you told Mr.

Her questions cone after the other. They bombarded Alana until the latter couldn't take it anymore and
stopped walking.
Ariana whipped her head around to face Gwen. Her gaze was ice-cold, which startled Gwen. “Were you in on
what happened last night, Ms. Lambert?”
“H-How could you make it sound like that? I only did it for your good.” Gwen sheepishly chuckled before adding,
“You can secure your position as lady of the Lodge family fall goes well!
“And our family won't be forced into a corner by Lodge Conymore! Don’t you agree?”
