Chapter 107 +25 BONUS Brian , dont be angry .
Evelyn murmured , gently holding onto Brians arm .
She cast an apologetic smile toward Victor and said , Mr.
Smith , Im so sorry .
Im sure you don know about Ms.
Torreys status ….
Then , turning her attention to Ariana with a slight reproach in her tone , she added , Ms.
Torrey , youre Mr.
Lodges fiancée.
What do you think youre doing , pushing and pulling with Mr.
Smith like this in front of everyone ? Come over here , now ! Evelyn made a move to pull Arlana back , but Hunter swiftly stepped in between them , blocking her path .
He clearly didnt want Ariana to comply .
Evelyn froze , her outstretched hand hanging awkwardly mid air .
Her expression stiffened with embarrassment .
Seeing Evelyns attempt to play peacemaker , Ariana chuckled lightly .
Ms.
Granger , I couldnt help but notice how closely you were walking with Mr.
Lodge earlier .
I almost thought … You didnt know Mr.
Lodge had a fiancée .
Arianas remark left Evelyn speechless .
Indeed , everyone knew Ariana was Brians flancée .
Yet it was equally well- known that his affections lay with Evelyn , leaving Ariana with little respect .
What everyone conveniently overlooked was how openly walking into an event as another mans companion in front of his fiancée could only be described as improper .

However , Ariana made no move to comply .
Seeing her defiance , Brian stepped forward .

Ive heard rumors that Mr.
Lodge doesnt like his fiancée , but I didnt think he was abusive ! Look at her reaction ! She must have been hit before .
Poor thing And to think shes the eldest daughter of the Torrey family ? How could the Lodge family treat her like this ? The murmurs grew louder .
Brians expression darkened as he listened to the accusations swirling around him .
Evelyn wanted to step forward to explain , but she quickly realized that the crowds judgemental stares were now fixed on her .
It was as though she had become the root of all the drama .
Ms.
Torrey is my date tonight , and this is my event .
If you want to claim her , perhaps you should remember whos hosting tonight , Mr.
Lodge , Victor said as he pulled Ariana firmly into his embrace .
Brians gaze turned icy as he watched the move .
Evelyn quickly stepped forward to intervene .
Mr.
Smith , Ms.
Torrey is Mr.
Lodges fiancée .
Dont you think its a bit improper to act like this ? Oh ? Victors tone carried a mocking age .
So , you do know the meaning of improper conduct ? Victor emphasized the last few words , and the deliberate weight he placed on them felt like a slap in Evelyns face .
