Ariana didn’t refuse. After all, spending more time with Brian in public would be beneficial for the Torrey family. 

“Mr. Lodge, I never expected that just one word from Mrs. Lodge Senior would be enough for you to put your pride aside and come see me,” Ariana remarked. 

Her words dripped with mockery, and there were even some traces of disdain toward Brian. It was the same attitude that he’d used to have toward her. 

Alas, their roles were reversed. 

“Ariana, do you really think it’s a good thing that Grandma bas taken an interest in you?” Brian asked. 

Belinda’s intentions were clear to anyone with a sharp eye, and Brian knew that Ariana could tell as well. 

His eyes roamed over Ariana. Tonight, she was meticulously and elegantly styled in a long, gold–embellished 

BOWTL 

She was the very image of grandeur. 

When he looked at Ariana from the side, he frowned. Her appearance at the moment overlapped with the image of Susan in his mind. 

Suddenly, Brian halted in his tracks and firmly turned Ariana to face him. 

His abrupt action caught her off guard, and she frowned and said, “Mr. Lodge, there are plenty of people watching. What are you trying to do?” 

“Stop talking.” Brian said. He studied her face closely, trying to confirm his suspicions. 

Susan was an icy beauty who exuded an air that kept people at a distance. Her looks were among the most striking in the entire city of Gleaston. Her eyes were captivating, and there wasn’t another woman in the city with a presence quite like hers. 

When he first met Susan, Brian had thought she looked a lot like Ariana. Everyone else didn’t seem to think so 

back then. 

Susan and Ariana also differed in their demeanor and manner of speaking 

At first, Brian hadn’t been suspicious, but Ariana’s performance on the rece question things 

Glea College final exam made him 

How could a student who had taken almost half a year off suddenly show such an astonishing improvement? 

The answers on that test paper were clear, logical, and backed by well–supported arguments. It was obvious from a glance that only a seasoned business veteran could produce such a response. 

With Susan’s academic background in mind, Brian was even more suspicious that Ariana was the renowned CEO of Warto Group. 

“Mr. Lodge, have you stared enough?” Ariana asked. 

Ariana blinked. The single motion was lively and expressive–completely different from Susan, the aloof beauty. Brian furrowed his brows. Was he merely overthinking? 

“Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Lodge?” Ariana aked. “Have you mistaken me for someone else?” “No,” Brian replied coldly. “You’re not even half as good as them.”
