Brian said flippantly, “Ariana can clean up her own mess, then. She's nothing without the Torrey family”
Just then, his landline rang, and he answered it. An employee from the front desk was on the line. She said, ”
There's a lady from the Torrey family who's here for you, Mr. Lodge.”
He leaned back when he heard that Ariana had arrived and shorted. “Let her up.”
“Yes, sir.” The employee hung up.
Soon, Fiona arrived outside Brian's office. She wore a white dress reminiscent of what Evelyn would wear. She
entered the office to see Brian poring over sdocuments
He didn’t even look up as he asked mockingly, “So, have you cto beg for mercy?”
“Mr. Lodge... It’s me. Fiona Piper,” she said.

He frowned and looked up when he heard that it wasn’t Ariana.
Fiona lowered her head, her face red with embarrassment. “Mr. Lodge, 1-"
“Who told you to chere?” he asked coldly.
This took Fiona aback. She couldn't help feeling disappointed when she noticed how his current attitude was
completely different from last night.
She said in a small voice, “I cto thank you, Mr. Lodge. Thank you for helpingget into Glea College.”
Brian looked impatient. “Are you done?”
“Y-Yes."
His gaze turned frosty when he saw Fiona dressed in the sway Evelyn did. “Get lost, then.”
Even if Fiona were a fool, she'd be able to tell that Brian was in a bad mood.
Emily had been standing in a corner this whole time. She stepped forward and said, “This way, please, Ms.
Piper.”
Fiona bit her lip. She knew Ariana had only managed to catch Brian's eye because she resembled Evelyn. If
Ariana could do it, then so could she!
“I think your coffee has gone cold, Mr. Lodge. I'll get you a new cup!” She darted forward to take Brian's coffee
cup from his desk. Then, she ran out of the room with it before he could say anything
“Mr. Lodge-" Emily started.
“Call Gwen Lambert and tell her to bring Ariana here right now!” Brian snapped.
“Yes, sir.”
Gwen returned home, looking anxious. She saw Ariana lounging on the couch while enjoying stea. She still
wore a nightgown.

Gwen exclaimed, “What are you still doing at home, Ariana? Didn't | tell you to go apologize to Mr. Lodge today?”
“You're the one who agreed to it, not me. What does it have to do with me?” Ariana sipped her tea and added, “I
won't go to the press conference in three days, let alone apologize to Brian.”

“Oh, you! How can you be so insensible? Do you know how badly the company has been affected after Mr. Lodge
withdrew his investment capital? Torrey Co. will be done for if you don’t apologize to him!”
“You've always toldto leave the company in your hands right? You should be the one to bear the
responsibility if anything happens to it. If it ends up in del. You're the one who will have to repay it,” Ariana said
leisurely.
“What did you say?” Gwen was stunned.
Ariana put on a confused look. “Don’t you know about this? You're Dad’s widow, so you have to bear his burden.
You'll have to pay off the company’s debts, unless... You give up on inheriting Dad's assets.”
