Back when Ariana first enrolled at Glea College, Gwen had objected to her buying a property nearby, so she had
always lived on campus. But given her current situation, staying in the dorms was no longer feasible. Even
climbing stairs had beca challenge.
“You'll just have to put up with this place for a few days. Leave the housing problem to Victor,” Simon said.
“That won't be necessary,” Ariana replied. “I can’t trouble Mr. Smith with finding a place forto live.”
“How could it not be his problem? Think about it-he’s partly to blfor you being in this place. He owes you at
least scompensation, doesn’t he? Otherwise, it’s just not fair...”
Before he could finish, Simon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Turning around, he saw Victor standing
silently behind him.
By now, the commotion had drawn a crowd of residents from the neighborhood. Victor's limited-edition

In this old neighborhood, a luxury car like that was a rare sight.
Seeing the growing crowd, Ariana wished they would all leave immediately. But as she climbed into the sleek
luxury car alongside two strikingly handsmen, the murmurs among the crowd only grew louder.
“What kind of relationship do you think they have, all three of them together in broad daylight?”
“These young girls nowadays, always chasing after rich men. So shameless.”
Amid the gossiping voices, Fiona stepped out of the building. This was the cheapest housing complex near Glea
College, and Fiona had lived there for a while. But now that she had been granted permission to stay at the
Lodge family residence by Belinda, she was only here to pack up her things.
A nearby older woman recognized Fiona and called out, “Fifi! Take a look-aren’t those people from your school?
That girl’s running off with two rich men!”
“Oh... Yeah.”
Fiona hadn't gotten a clear look at the two men, but she immediately recognized Ariana. She was surprised to
see Ariana still managing to cling to wealthy men even after leaving Brian.
A surge of jealousy coursed through Fiona as she thought about the cold reception she had endured at the Lodge
residence over the past few days.
But then, she reassured herself. What did it matter how wealthy those men were? They couldn't compare to
Brian Lodge.
That thought brought Fiona ssolace.
After all, if Ariana could secure an engagement with Brian by mimicking Evelyn, there was no reason why Fiona
couldn’t do the same.
“College girls these days are so out of control. Just because they've got a pretty face, they think they can do

The comments grew nastier with every passing moment. Oddly enough, Fiona felt a twisted sense of satisfaction.
From the first tshe met Ariana, Fiona had resented her aloof and confident demeanor. So what if she was the
eldest daughter of the Torreys? Without Brian, she was still stuck living in a rundown neighborhood like this,
subject to the judgment of others every tshe stepped out of the door.
In contrast, Fiona thought smugly, she had risen above. She now lived in the Lodge residence, where she was
chauffeured to and from school in luxury.
To Fiona, Ariana’s decision to reject Brian seemed like the height of stupidity.
