A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 

Ariana lowered her gaze slightly. 

Belinda said, “Igor is already 19, isn’t he? Why can’t he watch his mouth? I 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. 

In her past life, Igor had acted the same way 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, I 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 I don’t want to hold him back.,
