A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308 

After a long moment of silence, someone in the crowd finally spoke up. 

“It… It wasn’t me! I just heard it from someone else!” 

“Me neither! I don’t know who started it, but that’s just what everyone was saying!” 

“Yeah! Who would’ve thought she’s actually the Torrey family’s heiress? The person who spread these rumors is truly despicable!” 

The neighbors all tried to shift the blame, none of them willing to admit their part in spreading the rumors. 

“Ms. Torrey, please rest assured- I will personally handle this matter. Within three days–no, within two days, I will give you a satisfactory answer!” 

The chief spoke with absolute certainty.

She wouldn’t dare go against a Torrey family heiress. Just the fact that Ariana hadn’t retaliated yet was already a mercy. Within minutes, the landlady had carefully returned Ariana’s belongings to their original places, making sure everything was neat and orderly.

“Ms. Torrey, it’s already quite late. Given the… circumstances, perhaps I should arrange a luxury suite for hotel? This environment isn’t suitable for someone of your status–it would be far too beneath you to stay here.” 

The chief’s tone was exceptionally respectful, a stark contrast to how he had acted earlier. 

Clearly, being rich and powerful did have its perks. 

“No need. I’ll continue staying here. Instead of worrying about my accommodations, perhaps you should focus on training your subordinates–so they don’t go around harassing ordinary citizens.” 

“Y–Yes! Yes, of course! Ms. Torrey, you are absolutely right!” 

The police chief nodded repeatedly, eager to agree with whatever she said. After some more nervous pleasantries,
