Chapter 8

Belinda’s tone was kind but firm. “Ariana, Brian has clearly been bewitched by that woman from the Granger family. You can rest assured–I’ll make sure he apologizes to you properly. You are the only one I acknowledge as the future Mrs. Lodge, and no one can change that.”

Ariana offered a soft smile and replied, “Mrs. Lodge Senior, since his mind has already been made up, I don’t think I have much else to say. I wish him and Ms. Granger the best,‘

With that, she rose to leave, adding, “If you ever need anything, Mrs. Lodge Senior, I’ll still be here to serve you. But… I think it’s best we end the engagement here.”

A knock sounded.
