A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up by Cozy Season

Chapter 161

Ariana handed over a contract she had prepared in advance to Gwen. Seeing that Ariana had already arranged everything, Gwen’s expression darkened.

Ariana, however, remained unfazed and continued, “Ms. Lambert, I’ve already reviewed the contract thoroughly. All you need to do is sign it. Within seven days, I expect that pair of Aurora Pearls to be delivered to me. Seven days should be enough time for you to retrieve them, right?”

“Of course…” Gwen replied, though she couldn’t stop the faint trembling in her heart.

It was so million dollars! Where was she supposed to find that amount of money? Even after years of skimming from the Torreys and the company, it hadn’t added up to 80 million!

But for the sake of her son, Gwen gritted her teeth and signed the contract.

As Ariana took the signed contract, a satisfied smile spread across her face.

“Ari, I’ve signed the contract, so you can trust me. Please, rescue your brother first. What am I supposed to do if something happens to him while he’s still in Mr. Lodge’s hands?” Gwen pleaded.
