Shes still not back ? Brian glanced at the clock in the living room .
Its already 10:00 pm .
What kind of class goes this late ? Francine hesitated .
Maybe … Maybe theres an event ? What kind of event would a university have this late ? Brian frowned and pulled out his phone to call Ariana .
The phone rang before it was hung up .
Very well ! Francine noticed the change in Brians expression and thought of saying something on Arianas behalf .
Before she could speak , Brian ordered , Throw everything in Arianas room out .
Throw … Throw it out ? Francine froze in shock .
Those were Arianas belongings ! If she doesnt want to stay here , then let her leave .
Brian suffed .
Thinking of what Isaac had said , Brian realized he was paying far more attention to Ariana than he would like .
The thought of her possibly using the same tactics to manipulate Victor and William only deepened his frustration .
So , she wanted to play hard to get ? Fine .
He would let her lose the game completely .
Brian decided he would show Ariana she shouldnt mess with him .
He would ignore her and see how long her facade would last .
He was certain she would come running back to him eventually .
Later that evening , Francine decided to inform Ariana of what had happened .
At the time , Ariana was at the Torrey residence , coordinating plans to meet Evelyn .
Upon hearing Francines update , Ariana shrugged .
If he wants to throw them out , let him .
None of it is that important .
She sounded indifferent .
Those items were replaceable .
If Brian wanted to toss them , he was only saving her the trouble of moving .
Francine was surprised by Arianas lack of concern .
Could it be … This wasnt a plot ? Did Ariana not like Brian ? After Ariana ended the call , she received another one from Evelyn .
Ms.
Torrey , what do you mean by the message you sent ? Evelyn was skeptical Ms.
Granger , Ive already moved out of the Lodge residence .
Brian has even thrown out all my belongings .
I think thats proof enough of my sincerity , right ? Ariana said .
Evelyn frowned on the other end of the line .
For the past few days , Brian hadnt reached out to her , and they hadnt been talking ever since the rumors about Ariana .
Evelyn assumed Arianas request to meet was for a confrontation .
She hadnt expected Ariana to willingly leave Brian .
It didnt add up .
Ariana continued , Ms.
Granger , I have no intention of competing with you for Brians attention .
Im even willing to help you with some business connections .
Mr.
Smith is interested in one of your familys properties .
If you can meet with him , I believe a partnership between your families wouldnt be out of reach .

Ariana hummed .
Its up to you to believe it or not .
Ive done enough to anger Brian .
I hope youll reconsider .
