Ariana had no intention of responding to Gwen's accusations. Gwen, however, thought of the one million dollars she had given Ariana as part of the dowry. In her rage, she lunged forward and grabbed Ariana by the neck. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with fury. "Give me back the money I gave you! Hand it over! Now!"

Ariana laughed. She shook Gwen's hands off, sending her falling to the ground. "Ms. Lambert, you who said that women are bound to marry someday and to consider the dowry as an early gift. We even signed a contract. How could you expect me to return it just because you say so?"

Ariana flexed her injured hand and smiled. "I'm also upset bout Mr. Lodge calling off the engagement, what's done is done. Ms. Lambert, I suggest you... accept it

Without Brian as her future son-in-law, Gwen could no longer flaunt her power or authority over others. Ariana found this outcome satisfying.
