Listen Audiobook Version:



"If that's what you think, suit yourself." She said nonchalantly, "You've always seen me as a gold digger. Mr. Lodge, you described me as a vain and greedy social climber of course, I'll go to a richer man. Mr. Smith is a much more compatible candidate than you.

"At least Mr. Smith loves me and doesn't flirt with other women. And he doesn't have any children out of wedlock.

Brian had never clarified the rumor that spread in Gleaston about Evelyn going through an abortion for him. Everyone in their social circle merely assumed that Evelyn was pregnant with Brian's child.

In Ariana's past life, she was mocked as the baby-making machine of the Lodge family. She was nothing but a joke compared to Brian's beloved Evelyn.

"Who told you I had a child with Evelyn? Ariana, you-"

Emily immediately went up to stop Brian. "Mr. Lodge, Ms. Torrey is only saying that out of anger. Please stay calm.

"I don't care whether or not you and Evelyn shared a child you love her; that's the truth. If so, you blessing. Mr. Lodge, I hope you let me go as well." Ariana made it clear.

She was tired of playing Brian's fiancée and managing relations between their families over these days. She would have called off the marriage without any lingering feelings if Brian hadn't occasionally blackmailed her using her family.

Yet, Brian had gotten out of hand.

Brian shot Victor and Ariana a piercing glare. He snapped, "Oh, are you calling off the marriage? Fine! I'll grant your wish."

"Mr. Lodge!" gasped Emily, whose expression fell.

If Belinda heard about this, things would be really messy.

Brian immediately left the restaurant. As for Ariana, she didn't feel relieved after letting out her thoughts. Somehow, she felt a little weak in her knees.

How could she spill everything when she wasn't strong enough to take on Brian yet?

"Ariana Torrey, you're the first woman who used me as an excuse," Victor commented unfeelingly. Ariana was not in the mood to listen to his quotes. Forcing smile, she muttered, "Thanks, Mr. Smith. I guess I'm single now."

Knowing Brian, he would definitely call off their marriage after she made her intentions clear. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing to cut ties with Brian. She wanted to part without hard feelings.

But Ariana was too naive, Brian never wanted to make it easy for her.

The next day, the Lodge Co. one-sidedly announced the dissolution of all partnerships with Torrey Co., as well as broke off his engagement with Ariana.

Brian had personally appeared before the media to announce the news, causing a huge stir online: Malicious speculations surfaced of their decision to call off their engagement.

Ariana endured the looks filled with disdain and glee that people gave her at the Glea College library.

Most people in high society thought Ariana was not a good match for Brian; they saw the annulment of the engagement coming.

Just when Ariana was about to leave, she bumped into Evelyn. The sound of books scattering followed, as their books dropped onto the floor.
