A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 

Elise knew all about Ariana, the woman who was rumored to have shamelessly chased after Brian. 

She had always scoffed at Ariana’s behavior, but now she realized that even giving her all had only ended with a canceled engagement to Brian. 

Wouldn’t it be worse for Elise if she failed? 

“If you can’t accept that, then go home.” 

Brian had no interest in talking to Elise any longer. Just as he was about to leave, a familiar figure caught his eye across the hotel.

“This way please, Ms. Torrey,” the waiter said, offering her arm to support Ariana as they headed toward the private room. 

With her injured leg, Ariana could only rely on the waiter’s help to make her way to William’s private 

room 

As soon as the door opened, Ariana saw William dabbing at his mouth as if he’d just finished eating. “You’re late.” 

When William looked up, he saw Ariana limping in, her body covered in injuries. His brows furrowed deeply at the sight. 

After a long pause, he finally asked, “Were you in a car accident?” 

Ariana’s lips twitched slightly as she said, “I was kept overnight at the police station and got beaten up. Do you believe me?” 

“I do,” William replied calmly. “You’d pull any stunt if it meant canceling your engagement with Brian.” 

He’d already seen how far she would go. After the hot spring discovery at that South Gleaston plot, he found her quite intriguing. 

“Thanks for the compliment.” 

Ariana carefully took a seat across from him, her injuries making everything difficult. 

William gave her a once–over and said, “By the way, Evelyn’s friend Maddie has been expelled.” 

“Oh? That was fast. Thanks!” 

“I didn’t do it for you. I did it for the school’s order.” 

“Then thank you, Mr. Kingsman, for your strict discipline. 

“You’re welcome.” 

William placed a stamped file on the table. “Here is all the paperwork for South Gleaston. Plus the new identity you wanted.” 

Ariana opened the file and saw an ID with her photo, though it was clearly edited with heavier makeup, making her look more striking than she actually was.
