Chapter 76 

Brian spoke with a subdued tone. “Even if you have nothing to do with this incident tonight, do you dare to say you had no ulterior motives toward me?” 

“I do though I’ve been hoping that you’ll die sooner,” Ariana mocked, finding Brian immature. Then, she pushed him off her and got up from the bed. 

Brian voiced, “If you go out there now, Grandina will know we were pretending to be intimate. She might arrange for another situation like this again if her plan fails this time.” 

“What are you suggesting, Mr. Lodge? Do you want me to stay the night in your room? That doesn’t seem wise, does it?” Although Ariana said that, she didn’t seem like she would leave the room at all. 

In truth, she knew Brian was right. Belinda would realize the truth if she left the room now. If that happened, their little pretense earlier would be for nothing. 

At that moment, Brian lightly patted the side of his bed and said, “Come here.”

room. 

Francine was in the backyard downstairs when she saw all the lights in Brian’s room were off. She ran to inform Belinda about it. 

A relieved expression shrouded Belinda’s face as she said, “Invite Ms. Granger over first thing tomorrow.” 

Francine knew right away what Belinda was up to. She nodded, saying, “Understood, Mrs. Lodge Senior.” 

Ariana blearily cracked her eyes open the next morning. 

Yet, she realized the hard floorboard beneath her had somehow turned soft. That was when she realized she was lying on the bed, and there wasn’t a trace of Brian beside her. 

Where had he gone? Ariana sat upright while wondering that.
