But to his surprise , Ariana seemed completely indifferent , showing no intention of offering her fiance any explanation .
The thought made Brian feel inexplicably stifled .
Then again , he reminded himself that if he had decided to distance himself from his feelings for Ariana , he shouldnt let her actions affect his emotions anymore .
With a cold demeanor , he said , You can leave now .
Ariana didnt bother questioning his abrupt mood shift .
She simply turned and walked out .
Outside , Emily watched her leave and couldnt help but sweat nervously .
Did Ms.
Torrey really not notice that Mr.
Lodge was upset ? Anyone else would have sensed that something was off , right ? Ariana drove straight to the Lodge residence .
Ime When Francine saw her arrive , she warmly opened the door and said , Ms.
Torrey , Mr.
Lodge instructed me to take you to the basement Alright , Ariana replied calmly .
Francine led her to the basement .
As soon as the door opened , Igor bolted forward , desperate to escape , only to be shoved back inside by Ariana .
Having been locked in the dark , airless basement for an entire day , Igor had no strength left to resist .
The push sent him sprawling helplessly to the floor .
Let me out ! Get me out of here ! he screamed hysterically .
The unpleasant odor in the basement hit Ariana immediately .
Coupled with Igors disheveled appearance , she could tell exactly how miserable his time in the basement had been .
For someone like Igor , a pampered rich boy who had never faced real hardship in life , a single day in the dark , airless basement must have felt like pure hell .
You want to go out ? Its not impossible , Ariana said , looking down at him with a cold smile .
If you can promise me youll never repeat this behavior , turn yourself in to the police after your birthday banquet , and swear to stop scheming for the family inheritance , then Ill let you go .
I agree ! I agree to everything ! Just let me out ! At that moment , Igor would have agreed to anything .
His only thought was to escape this place .
Words mean nothing .
Sign this first , Ariana said , tossing a contact onto the floor in front of him .
Igor didnt even bother reading the contents .
He scrambled up to pick it up and signed it hastily .
Satisfied with his compliance , Ariana turned to Francine and said , Ill take him with me .
Please clean up the place .
Of course , Ms.
Torrey .
As Ariana turned to leave , Igor stumbled out of the basement and ran frantically .
Although it had only been a day , his appearance was a wreck .
His face was unshaven .
His body was covered in bruises from a beating , and he reeked of sweat and filth .
Ariana pinched her nose in disgust and said , Find your own way back .
Your mother is waiting for you to celebrate 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 166 your birthday .
With that , she tossed Igors phone at him and walked away gor stood there , his expression dark with resentment as he realized Ariana had no intention of helping him further .
