A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213 

Ariana gave Victor a faint smile. “I’ve heard that you employ many highly–trained bodyguards. Coincidentally, I’ve noticed someone following me recently. I’m sure you understand what I’m implying, Mr. Smith.” 

She chose not to expose him. 

Victor must have instructed someone to watch her. However, now that she was stuck on the same sinking ship as him, getting off would depend entirely on Victor’s whims. 

“Do you 

know what I like most about you, Ms. Torrey?” Victor grinned. 

“I should listen carefully, so I can fix that bad habit.” Ariana hummed. 

“I like how smart, perceptive, and… amusing you are.” Victor smiled. It looked odd against his sharp features. 

Noticing Victor’s mocking stare, Ariana retorted, “Let’s not heat around the bush, Mr. Smith. What brings you here this time? Surely, it’s not to mock me.” 

After Brian publicly called off their engagement, the news quickly spread. Brian had done it to humiliate her. 

And it worked. 

Those who attended Glea College were mostly heirs of political families or rich businessmen. Lila and Maddie’s provocation was just the beginning. Ariana knew her time at school was about to become even more difficult. 

As Ariana pondered Victor’s intentions, he suddenly grabbed her injured hand. 

Her hand was covered in bruises and scars. 

Ariana tried to pull her hand away, but Victor’s grip was too strong. She couldn’t free herself. 

“Since we’re partners, I’ve prepared a gift for you. I hope you’ll like it.” Victor chuckled. 

Ariana grew wary. “What are you planning to give me?” 

“Something… good,” Victor smirked. 

Ariana didn’t trust Victor’s generosity. 

Just then, the car came to a stop outside a villa. 

Hunter parked the car, and Ariana followed Victor out, puzzled. 

When she saw they were at the Hicks residence, the realization hit her. “Victor! What are you planning to do?” 

“Come,” Victor said, dragging her by the wrist toward the Hicks residence. 

The Hicks family was rich, but far from being at the top of clea College. 

The once glorious villa was a mess and shattered glasses littered the courtyard. 

“Please have mercy! We’ve realized our mistake! Mr. Smith spare us!”
