A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 189

hapter 189 

Hearing Emily’s words, Brian was momentarily stunned. 

Had something like that really happened before? 

He had no memory of it, because in those days he barely paid attention to Ariana or anything she did for him. 

Hearing this now, Brian found it hard to believe. Had he really been so mean to Ariana in the past and done something so unreasonable? 

“Mr. Lodge, Ms. Torrey has every right to be upset with you” 

No one liked having their efforts dismissed, and Ariana was no exception. Emily had noticed her habit of skipping dinner, but Brian, her own fiancé, hadn’t. 

Brian frowned. He lost his appetite. 

Seeing Brian get up, Emily was about to follow him. But he said, “Postpone tonight’s work. You can leave now.” 

“Yes, Mr. Lodge,” Emily replied. 

Brian went upstairs. Ariana was still in that room, casually telling the workers what to do. 

At some point, she had even donned a cap and was helping out in person. She looked nothing like a pampered socialite, showing none of that usual reserved elegance. 

When Ariana glanced over and saw Brian in the doorway, she furrowed her brows, clearly displeased. 

Could this annoying guy not leave her alone? 

“Mr. Lodge, this place is really messy. Maybe you should just head back. We’ll try to keep the noise down.” 

The lead renovator didn’t want Brian to blow up. He quickly signaled for the workers to leave. 

If they upset someone as powerful as Brian, they might as well close up shop. 

Ariana acted as if she hadn’t noticed Brian and resumed painting. 

To her surprise, Brian who had seemed so put off by dust actually stepped into the room. 

Ariana splattered a bit of paint onto his expensive leather shoes, but he didn’t seem to care. 

“Come down.” 

“What for?” 

Ariana was perched on a small ladder. 

Brian’s tone brooked no refusal. 

Seeing that Brian wasn’t leaving, Ariana reluctantly started climbing down the ladder. 

Midway, her foot slipped. Brian instinctively reached out to catch her, but before he could, she had already regained her balance. 

She was stunned, noticing his outstretched hands. “What..are you doing?” 

His face darkened in that instant. He retracted his hands. 

Ariana hopped off the ladder.

“Follow me,” Brian said, his tone firm and commanding 

He headed out, and Ariana had no choice but to follow him.
