Chapter 60

When Ariana returned to the Torrey residence that afternoon, Gwen was beaming with delight over the press

conference.

When she saw Ariana, she eagerly approached. “Well well, Ms. Torrey. You’re finally back! Such wonderful news, and you didn’t tell me ahead of time. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have to be this worried all the time, don’t you think?

As Ariana settled on the couch, she leaned in closer. “Ariana, now that both Mr. Lodge and Mr. Kingsman have taken a fancy to you, who would you choose?”

Faced with such a blatant inquiry, Ariana leaned back against the couch and asked, “Who do you think I should choose, Ms. Lambert?”
