“Exactly! Everyone in Gleaston knows that Ariana Torrey bugged Mr. Lodge to propose to her. She really thought
she was that important. Mr. Lodge can easily find another fiancée if she breaks off the engagement. But her? |
doubt anyone would want her!”
The socialites were openly mocking Ariana, who was standing not too far away.
Ariana had arrived several minutes before Brian and Evelyn She should have entered the venue by now, but
William had insisted that she wait outside.
What had she done to deserve this nightmare of her man?
Now, she knew that William wasn’t that much different from Brian.
No wonder the two of them fought so bitterly in her last life

“Ariana, you should give up on Mr. Lodge. With Evelyn by his side, you don’t stand a chance.”
“Yeah. Just a few days ago, you announced that you wanted to break off your engagement with him, yet now
you're here chasing after him. Sadly for you, you're just a stand-in. He'll never give you a second glance now
that he has the real thing in his arms!”
PAIl | can say is that you brought this on yourself. How could you just hand Mr. Lodge over to someone else after
working so hard to bechis fiancée? Did you really think you could compare to Ms. Granger?”

The socialites, most of whom coveted the position of Brian's wife, were eager to see Ariana humiliated.
After all, everyone in Gleaston knew exactly how far Ariana had fallen for Brian. To the men, she was a cheap
woman; even the women looked down on her.
One of the women went up to Ariana and mocked her. “You have a lovely face, Ms. Torrey. Maybe you should
learn how to charm men while you're still young. Otherwise, no one in Gleaston would want you!”
The gathering crowd burst into laughter.
Ariana had been engaged to Brian and publicly embarrassed him by breaking off said engagement. No matter
how pretty she was, no one in Gleaston would dare to approach her now.
Just then, a black Maybach rolled to a stop in front of the venue.
The man who stepped out was dressed impeccably in a tailored suit. His handsface, stoic and icy as ever,
made everyone catch their breath in awe.
William adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and glanced around at the gossiping women. Then, he pulled Ariana to
his side.
“I thought I told you to wait forat the entrance,” he said, his voice deep. Everyone nearby widened their
eyes
in shock

When did Ariana get involved with William Kingsman?
Not far away, Evelyn noticed the commotion and whispered to Brian cautiously, “Brian, | think Ms. Torrey is over
there...”
Brian looked over in the direction that Evelyn was pointing at and saw Ariana standing close to William. His eyes
narrowed dangerously when he saw William holding Ariana’s wrist.
Ariana had refused to attend the auction with him, yet here she was, hanging onto William Kingsman’s arm?
