But when Belinda thought of Igors disgraceful behavior from the previous night , she had no desire to humor Gwen any further .
She asked indifferently , Mrs.
Torrey , how much money are you hoping to borrow ? Not a lot ….
just 90 million .
Belinda froze .
90 million ? That was a bold request indeed .
Mrs.
Lodge Senior , I know the Lodge family has immense resources , 90 million is just a drop in the bucket for you .
Please have mercy on us .
We really are facing a crisis , or else I wouldnt be begging for your help .
Gwen was anxious to redeem the Aurora Pearls .
The seller had said the price would rise again in a couple more days .
If she waited too long , even 90 million wouldnt be enough .
Mrs.
Torrey , youre quite brazen .
Do you think were just a convenient ATM for the Torreys ? 211 Belinda was already displeased with Arianas recent conduct , as well as everything that happened last night .
There was no way she would be the sucker to lend Gwen 90 million .
After that cutting remark , Belinda simply hung up , not giving Gwen any face at all .
Gwen stared in shock at the disconnected call .
She actually hung up ? Realizing Belinda had no intention of lending money , Gwens face darkened .
What now ? If Belinda wouldnt help , her only option would be to take out a loan .
But no legitimate bank would just hand over 90 million to a housewife .
Unless … She resorted to a high interest lender .
Meanwhile , Ariana had been brought to the Lodge residence by Emily .
Ariana hadnt actually been gone for very long just a couple of days .
The housekeepers greeted her politely , and she merely nodded in response .
This time , she was here mainly to escape the chaos at home .
Igor would be getting out of the hospital soon , and she had no interest in seeing him every day .
Ms.
Torrey , everything is ready for you .
If you need anything at all , please let us know .
Mr.
Lodge has instructed us to give you the best of everything .
Really ? Of course .
Wonderful .
Ariana pretended to look troubled and said , I always thought my guest room was a bit too cramped .
Id like to move to the room at the far end .
What ? Also , I prefer simple and elegant decor .
The style in my old room feels too corporate .
I dont like it .
+25 BONUS Chapter 183 Ariana went on , I really dont like cooking .
It makes me feel off .
So , from now on , I wont be cooking for Brian .
Im still a student , and my studies are very important .
He cant stop me from going to class or restrict my personal freedom .
He also cant interfere in whatever I do .
And most importantly , he absolutely has to keep his distance from me .
She said all that in one breath .
By the time she finished , Emilys face had gone pale .
She was at a total loss for words .
