Brian knew exactly what Belinda’s words meant. In the past, his engagement with Ariana had been purely due to her suitable family background. But now, marrying her would mean gaining control over the entire Torrey family. At that moment, the things that Ariana said to him earlier today played back in his mind. His sense of pride flared once again. 

“Grandma, you don’t need to concern yourself with this mater. We have already annulled our engagement, and there is no way I’ll propose to her again.” With that, he turned around and headed upstairs. 

Belinda was well aware of Brian’s character. Her expression darkened. Since he was unwilling to let go of his pride, then she would make the necessary arrangements for him. 

The next day, the news of Gwen’s imprisonment and Igor’s expulsion from the Torrey family spread like wildfire within the high society. As the sole heir of the family, Ariana successfully assumed full control of the Torrey family.

Ariana was well aware of everything Miranda had just said, Nonetheless, she would have to make some preparations before attending the Lodge family’s gala. She had to make sure that Belinda wouldn’t take advantage of her, and also make it clear to the public that the Torrey family and the Lodge family had reconciled. 

However… 

Just the thought of having to see Brian tonight made Ariana’s head hurt. 

“Prepare an evening gown for me. Make it as extravagant as possible.” 

“Yes, Ms. Torrey.” 

Since this gala was arranged specially for her, she had to make a statement. She wanted every attending guest to know that she was now the rightful heir of the Torrey family. 

In the evening, the entrance of the Royal Hotel buzzed with activity, with luxury cars lined up along the streets. One by one, wealthy elites dressed in tailored suits stepped out of their cars, each accompanied by impeccably dressed women by their side.
