Emily was stunned. She noticed Victor glance over at them provocatively before getting into his car. Brian's expression turned ugly. Emily hesitantly asked, "Mr. Lodge... Should we..."

"Go!" Brian snapped. "From now on, Ariana and I are over!"

Sensing Brian's anger, Emily stopped herself from defending Ariana.

Meanwhile, Ariana had already gotten into Victor's car. Victor removed his jacket and placed it over her shoulders.

Ariana adjusted the jacket. "Thank you, Mr. Smith. I'll wash it and return it to you tomorrow."

"Just throw it away. I don't reuse dirty clothes," Victor replied nonchalantly.

Ariana smiled, choosing not to comment further.

Victor continued, "By the way, Brian saw you get into my car just now."

"What?" Ariana instinctively leaned toward the window to look, but Victor stopped her.

"They've already driven off." He shrugged.

"... You knew and didn't tell me?" Ariana was exasperated.

"Why would I? Or do you wish to ride in his car?" Victor cocked a brow.

Ariana shook her head. Between the two, she preferred Victor's car.

30 minutes later, Victor's car pulled up at the Torrey residence. Gwen was still awake after Brian's call and 'immediately rushed out when she heard sounds outside.

Seeing Ariana step out of Victor's car, Gwen hurried over and snapped, "You brat! Where have you She caught a glimpse of Victor through the window before it rolled up and the car sped off.

Noticing the jacket on Ariana's shoulders and her disheveled appearance, Gwen's face fell. "Have you been sneaking around with someone else? Ariana! How shameless can you be? Do you know how many times Mr. Lodge called? And you..."

"Sneaking around?" Ariana interrupted and stepped forward with an icy glare. "You've got some nerve to accuse me, Ms. Lambert.

"What... What's with that look?" Gwen stumbled back.

Ariana continued coldly, "Igor arranged for someone to abduct me at the university earlier. His plan was to assault me and force me to hand over the Torrey family's assets and company. Did you orchestrate this?" Gwen froze. What? Did Igor do that?

"You're lying! My son would never do something like that! Gwen shook her head.

"Is that so? Then let's settle this at the police station." Ariana pulled out her phone.

When Gwen realized Ariana wanted to call the police, she panicked. "Did Igor really do that? Ari, there

must be some misunderstanding! Please don't call the police. His birthday is coming up. If you report this, what will happen to his celebration?"

Igor's birthday was a major event for Gwen, who had invited countless businessmen and ladies from high society.

If this scandal came to light, she would lose not only her investment but also her reputation. Worse, Igor would gain nothing from it.

Gwen's heart raced at the thought of it.
