Chapter 205 

“Go on.” 

“I have no clue about any illegal activities you’re involved in.” 

“And?” 

“Shouldn’t you offer me a safe exit, now that you’ve dragged me into this mess?” 

“Are you saying I have to vindicate you after I’m sent to prison? 

“I’m not guilty in the first place!” 

“So, what are you talking about?” 

“You-” 

Ariana was baffled, Victor was playing dumb and betting on her to not overtly mention the money laundering. 

The moment she let slip, she would become an accomplice of his, and she wouldn’t be able to defend herself if she got arrested. 

Amused at her flushed face, Victor quipped, “Just now, you claimed you were unafraid of me. What’s with the sudden fear? 

“The higher the risks you take, the higher the returns. Fear will only make you a pawn in the game, take advantage of that. It’s been a dog–eat–dog world since the beginning of time.

“Ms. Torrey, you need to grow stronger than Brian Lodge if you wish to call off the engagement. Else, you’ll get married and be a housewife.” 

Ariana was aware of the consequences Victor just laid out. 

After her experience in her past life, she would rather die than become Brian’s wife. 

She needed to love herself before falling in love with any other man. 

“Mr. Smith, do not worry. I will do whatever it takes to call off this marriage. I, Ariana Torrey, will never marry Brian Lodge.‘ 

Brian had just arrived at the entrance to the restaurant with his men. He heard Ariana’s words right as he stepped foot in the restaurant. 

Emily’s expression shifted, as she had not expected Ariana to make that statement. 

Beside her, Brian’s eyes darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead. 

Emily hadn’t seen that expression on Brian for a long time 

Woah, “I, Ariana Torrey, will never marry Brian Lodge,” recited Brian. 

Ariana’s body stiffened when she heard his voice. She snapped around, and her eyes met Brian’s frosty gaze. 

“That explains why you’re dead set on calling off our wedding. Looks like you’ve found yourself another man.” Brian was on the brink of exploding in anger. 

Ariana had never seen him so angry before. She took a step back when he inched closer. 

He confronted Ariana coldly, “Are you so against the idea of becoming Mrs, Lodge?”
