A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240 

A blind date. So, that was it. 

“Ms. Torrey?” 

Martha was momentarily stunned as she looked at Ariana. 

How could she be happy about her ex–fiancé going on a blind date? 

“Martha, I’ve got it. Thanks.” 

Ariana’s mood brightened at once. She guessed she wouldn’t be stuck in the Lodge home much longer. 

Just then, her phone buzzed. It was a message from William. She quickly unlocked it to check. 

William’s message was brief: “I’ll send someone to pick you up at noon.” 

Ariana guessed it must be about the South Gleaston land project. Neither the Torrey residence nor the Lodge residence was a suitable place for such a discussion. William’s message came at just the right time. 

Ariana quickly replied with an “ok” emoji.

“Right,” Brian said coolly. “Have we lined up that overseas medical team yet?” 

“The hospital director hasn’t confirmed. I’ll follow up.” 

“Do it as soon as possible.” 

“Yes, Mr. Lodge.” 

Seeing his concern for Ariana, Emily couldn’t help asking, Mr. Lodge, this is the first time I’ve seen you worried about a woman who isn’t Ms. Granger. Could it be that you, 

Before she could finish, he shot her a glare. “I’m finding her a doctor only because I wrongfully accused her, and this is my way of compensating her.” 

“Of course, Mr. Lodge,” Emily replied, lowering her head.

“Anyway, who would like a woman like Ariana? She’s juggling two men at once, and she’s deceitful and ungrateful!” 

Emily couldn’t help but wonder how Brian had come up with “ungrateful” when there hadn’t exactly been much kindness on his part.
