Halfway through Gwen’s words, Ariana forcibly shook her off. The former was caught off balance and nearly stumbled down the stairs. 

you want!” 

Igor rushed to help Gwen and glared at Ariana. He snapped, “My mom apologized! What more do you 

Standing on the stairs, Ariana looked down at the pair of heartless schemers, and her eyes glinted with disdain.” Actions have consequences. This jacket I’m wearing comes from Mr. Kingsman. What will you do if you accidentally tear it?” 

Gwen’s face turned instantly pale as she noticed the black suit draped over Ariana’s shoulders. It seemed Ariana was telling the truth. 

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lambert. We’ll settle scores after I end my engagement with Brian.” 

Ariana turned to head upstairs, but Gwen quickly lunged forward and grabbed her wrist. “What? You’re breaking off the engagement? 

“You can’t! You’re not sure if Mr. Kingsman has decided to marry you. If you call off the engagement now, Torrey Co. will be saddled with debt, and the Lodges won’t let us off! You’re being insensible!” 

Ariana snapped, “Did you forget? We signed an agreement. Torrey Co. has nothing to do with you now, and whatever decision I make has nothing to do with you either” 

“You!” Gwen was left fuming. What would happen to her and Igor if the Torres family lost its financial support? 

“Mom, is it true that you handed the company over to Ariana?” 

Igor had heard everything. Gwen felt a twinge of guilt in the face of his questioning, and her reaction affirmed Ariana’s words. 

He seethed. “Mom, Dad left me the company, so how could you give it to her?” 

“Don’t worry, son. Ariana offended Mr. Lodge, and she’s in for a miserable time. There are several projects in the company on hold, and she knows nothing about running a business. She’s just a pampered princess who’s never stepped out of her bubble. 

“I guarantee you she’ll regret it if she breaks off the engagement. She’ll come crawling back to us, hoping we’ll pull the strings!” 

Igor grumbled. “But what about William? What if he helps her?” 

Gwen dismissed his words with disdain. “Mr. Kingsman has only known Ariana for days, so why would he spend money on her? This is over ten billion dollars we’re talking about, not a few million.
