Arlana didn't expose Gwen and played along. "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Lambert."

"No need for thanks. Jist be good in the future. With your looks, how could Mr. Lodge not like you? Just don't forget how kind I've been to you when you make it big," Gwen said.

"Your kindness is something I will always remember." Ariana smiled.

That smile sent chills down Gwen's spine, and she swallowed her words.

What happened to Ariana? How had she become so hard to control?

"Mom, I'm back!" Igor walked in, dressed in trendy athletle wear. His outfit, complete with earrings and rings, screamed rebellious.

Igor frowned at Ariana. "Why are you here? Who let you in

Ariana had no intention of standing up or acknowledging Igor.

Igor scowled. "Ariana! I'm talking to you. Are you dead?"

"Ariana! This is too much. Your brother is talking to you," Gwen chimed in.

Ariana calmly replied, "I've said before, this is my home. Whether I come back or not is none of your concern."

"Ariana! How dare you speak to my mom like that!" Igor's temper flared. He took a step toward Ariana, intending to teach her a lesson.

However, Ariana's words stopped him in his tracks. "The house is mine. Believe it or not, I could have you thrown -OUL"

"You!" Igor froze. Ariana got his weak spot.

Seeing that Ariana was angry, Gwen restrained Igor and scolded him. "What's wrong with you? Apologize to your sister immediately!"

They had no choice but to yield since they were living in Ariana's house. In the past, Gwen had used her status to act high and mighty in front of Ariana. Since Ariana had been easy to bully, Gwen had repeatedly pushed her limits.

But now, Ariana was no longer the pushover she used to be. They really might end up homeless if she used the house as leverage.

Until she secured the Torrey residence, Gwen couldn't afford to lose her temper.

Ariana knew this as well.

As long as the Torrey family assets weren't in Gwen's hands, Gwen would have to act meek around Ariana.

Ariana's expression hardened when she thought of all the things Gwen and her son had done to her and the Torrey family in her previous life.

She wasn't foolish enough to drive Gwen out and let her cause trouble elsewhere. Keeping Gwen under her watch. made her easier to control.

On the other side, Igor stubbornly refused to apologize to Ariana.

However, Ariana wasn't in a hurry. The silence lingered in the air.

Gwen smacked Igor's shoulder. "Didn't you hear me? Apologize to your sister!"

"...I'm sorry," Igor finally muttered, his tone filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

Ariana remained silent.

Gwen leaned closer to Ariana. "Ariana, your brother has already apologized. Don't take it too seriously. You know how kids are. They always speak without thinking.'
