“Ariana, this is all your fault!”
Igor could rage all he wanted- it wouldn’t make a difference. With Brian backing her up, Ariana could do whatever she wanted in Gleaston.
Soon, Gwen received Igor’s call. When she arrived, she found Igor standing miserably in the alley outside the Lodge residence.
“My son! How did you end up like this?”
The moment she approached Igor, she was hit by the awful stench coming from him.
Igor snapped, “It’s all because of Ariana! Who knows what kind of spell she’s cast on Brian? He had me locked up in the basement overnight! Mom, you must stand up for me and teach Ariana a lesson!”
Igor was completely unaware of his precarious position. Feeling a bit uneasy, Gwen said, “That girl is not as easy to push around as she used to be. Calm down. Go take a shower and change into clean clothes. We still have your birthday celebration tonight.”
“Birthday? What’s the point of celebrating now?” Igor fumed.
Gwen tried to reassure him. “Listen to me. I’ve spent a lot of money putting this party together for you. I’ve invited plenty of influential people in the industry. Just make a good impression, network with some powerful figures, and maybe find a nice girl from a powerful family. With the right support, we’ll have no trouble taking Torrey Co. back from Ariana!”
Hearing this, Igor grudgingly swallowed his anger and nodded.
After returning to the Torrey residence, Igor cleaned up and changed into a tailored suit.
Gwen continued, “I’ve already found someone perfect for you. Ms. Shaw comes from a good family and a scholarly household. Her family is also one of the top hundred enterprises in the country. Spend some time with her tonight and make a good impression. If things work out, the Shaw family’s support will make it much easier for us to claim Torrey Co. back from Ariana.”
Igor nodded impatiently. He hated dealing with pampered rich girls. But to inherit the Torrey family fortune, Igor had no choice but to do as Gwen said.
Meanwhile, Ariana was on her way to the Royal Hotel. She even picked Selena up on the way.
Selena leaned back in the passenger seat and vented angrily “Igor, that bastard! How dare he kidnap you and try to have someone violate you? Gwen and Igor both make me sick! Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to get revenge for you tonight!”
“I’ve already gotte
already gotten plenty of benefits from those two over the years. There’s no need for revenge- just sit back and enjoy the show,” Ariana replied calmly.
“What show? If my parents hadn’t insisted that I come tonight, I wouldn’t have bothered. But seriously, how does Igor afford to book the largest ballroom at the Royal Hotel? I even heard half of the elites from this circle are going to be there.”
“Really? How many people?”
“Pretty much the whole circle. I mean, it’s not everyday someone books the largest ballroom at the Royal Hotel. Everyone’s probably curious to see who’s got the clout to pull that off.”
