Chapter 210
Um, Ms. Torrey and her peers got into a minor conflict. She went to the hospital to treat a hand injury…” Christopher muddled through.
He continued prodding, “Mr. Lodge, Ms. Torrey can’t always be taking time off school. The college is a place for studying. Do you think…”
All Christopher wanted was to get onto Brian’s good side. After all, Ariana must have offended Brian for him to call off the engagement.
Anyone in their social circle was keenly aware of the situation. As the college dean, Christopher felt the need to express her stance.
With one word from Brian, he could immediately expel Ariana from Glea College.
“Don’t you even care when one of your students was hurt of campus?” Brian’s voice was as cold as winter.
The remark caught Christopher off guard. He could not wrap his head around Brian’s anger. Ariana was the one who offended Brian. Wasn’t it normal for everyone to be throwing stones at her?
Still, Christopher obliged and said, “That’s true. Mr. Lodge, you’re right…“.
Brian kept his temper under control. “Which hospital is Ariana at?”
“S–She at the City Hospital. The school staff helped her to the hospital.”
Brian signaled at Emily to hang up after learning that Ariana had been sent to the City Hospital.
Emily couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Lodge, do you want to visit her?”
Emil had worked for Brian for a long time, but this was the first time she had ever seen him shower another woman with this level of care.
Brian’s old self would have surely banished Ariana to irrelevance by now.
How could he possibly take the initiative to see her?
At this moment, Brian’s cold gaze swept over Emily, who immediately averted her eyes.
He said icily, “Who said I’m going to see her?”
“Understood,” Emily responded, but she still hesitated to start the car.
In the end, Brian leaned back in the rear seat, feigning indifference. “Do you think Ariana’s someone who can be easily bullied? It’s just her petty tricks.”
Petty… tricks?
Emily froze for a moment, clearly not understanding what Brian meant.
Brian continued, unhurried, “It’s just a victimizing act. I’ve seen plenty of them. She’s trying to appear vulnerable. Fine. Let’s go along with her plan and visit the hospital to see what game she’s playing.”
Emily wondered if that really was the case. She couldn’t shake the feeling that things
Luite as he imagined.
If Ariana were truly pulling the victim card, wouldn’t she have reached out to them early on? Why would she wait until she was already in the hospital without any intention of informing Brian?
But Emily kept her doubts to herself. She quickly stepped on the gas and headed toward the City Hospital.
