Chapter 245 1 I must have mistaken someone else for her , Brian explained .
You two have called off the engagement , so its none of your business what she does or whom she meets .
Must 1 explain that to you ? Belinda said .
Yes , Grandma , Brian answered politely , but it was clear he hadnt taken it to heart .
He excused himself , and Emily quickly followed behind .
Brians face darkened .
Call home .
Have Martha check if Arianas really there .
Mr.
Lodge , Ms.
Torreys injuries are so bad .
Can she even wander around like that ? Maybe you truly mixed her up with someone else .
Call ! I want to know exactly where she is .
Yes , Mr.
Lodge .
Emily dialed Martha , who answered promptly .
Ms.
Weston ? Why are you calling me ? Is Ms.
Torrey at home right now ? Yes , she is .
She told me she had too much lunch and felt ill , so she went to bed .
Hearing this , Brian took the phone .
When did she say she was going to sleep ? Around noon , I think .
She told us not to disturb her .
Go check if shes actually in the room .
Well … Martha sounded hesitant but still went upstairs .
She carefully opened the door to a darkened room with curtains drawn .
On the bed , there was a shape that appeared to be someone sleeping .
She quickly shut the door again .
Shes in bed , Mr.
Lodge , Martha whispered .
Brian frowned .
A flicker of doubt crossed his mind .
Did he really see someone else ? 20 minutes later , Ariana returned to the Lodge residence .
She quietly entered while Martha was busy in the kitchen , then headed straight to her bedroom on the second floor .
She had prepared earlier by placing a pillow and a small moving gadget under the covers , so that in dim light it looked like someone was breathing Ariana sighed in relief .
At least Martha hadnt noticed anything .
soon ? But before she could fully relax , she heard Martha downstairs .
Oh , Mr.
Lodge , why are you home so Arianas face went pale .
She quickly undressed and climbed under the blanket , turning off her little gadget .
Moments later , Brian opened her door and flicked on the light .
The sudden brightness stung Arianas eyes .
She shielded them , complaining , Who is it ? Didnt I say not to bother me while Im sleeping ? Seeing Brian , she paused in confusion .
Brian ? Why are you back ? Chapter 245 His gaze was glacial .
Without a word , he marched to her bedside and yanked the blanket away .
In the next instant , he saw her bare body .
His tense expression vanished , replaced by a faint panic .
