A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 196

hapter 196 

Ariana refrained from calling William insane. She turned to leave William’s office without saying anything more. 

Time flew by quickly at Glea College, and before they knew, night had fallen. Ariana and Selena walked out of the academic building 

They didn’t have any classes in the afternoon, but Ariana hung around because she wanted to spend more time in the school library. 

Selena had never seen Ariana study so diligently before. Ever since Ariana jumped into the pool at that engagement party, she seemed to have come to her senses, 

Not only did she stop chasing after Brian, but she also suddenly seemed to develop a real passion for studying. 

Selena said, “Ari, you don’t really need to study so hard. You’re set for life with your family wealth.” 

“That’s not the point,” Ariana replied. “Money comes and goes. What’s yours today might not be tomorrow. But knowledge stays with you forever. No one can take it away. 

As she spoke, Ariana glanced at her watch. “It’s about time 

“What’s happening?” Selena asked curiously. “Does Brian insist you get home by a certain time? Isn’t he being a bit too controlling?” 

“No,

Selena slapped Ariana’s shoulder, grinning. “I’ve been waiting for this!” 

Isaac pulled Brian into one of the VIP rooms at the nightclub. 

“I know you’re not into socializing, but there’s no way around it. It is part of the job.” Isaac leaned in closer and whispered, “I even asked Joan to find me a group of hot women today. Loosen up a little, will you? Stop thinking about work all the time.” 

“You brought me here to socialize with businessmen but expect me not to think about work?” Brian shot Isaac a glance. 

“It doesn’t hurt!” Brennan said with a laugh. “Look at those old guys over there. None of them are here for work- they’re all here for the women!” 

Brian rubbed his temples, clearly annoyed. 

He had always hated noisy places like this, and he detested drinking parties even more. But some deals couldn’t be sealed over business dinners–they required the kind of casual atmosphere only a nightclub could provide. 

Before long, a line of beautiful women entered the room, each one tressed provocatively, showing off their long
