Chapter 292 Victor didnt even look up as he said flatly , Go ahead .
Hearing that he wasnt stopping her , Ariana finally breathed a sigh of relief .
Simon helped her up as they left .
Since the height of the sofs and coffee table in the study was almost the same , Ariana had been sitting on the floor practicing her handwriting .

Now , she struggled a little trying to get up .
After Ariana and Simon left , Victor walked over to the coffee table and picked up the sheet of paper Ariana had been practicing on .
The handwriting , as expected , wasnt particularly appealing .
But the error rate ? Zero .
A faint smile appeared on Victors face .
Turning toward the door , he called out , Hunter .
Yes , Mr.
Smith ? Go buy a comfortable office chair and a proper desk .
But , I thought youve always said you dont like office furniture , Hunter replied hesitantly .
Hearing his own question , Hunter quickly realized that the desk wasnt for Victor but for Ariana .
Without another word , he promptly left to carry out the order .
Half an hour later , Ariana stood outside her apartment building .
The sky had turned completely dark .
She remembered that this was Brians work shift .
No matter how angry he might be , it was unlikely he would have stayed in the apartment all day waiting for her .
With that thought , Ariana pushed open the door to her apartment .
The moment did , she regretted it .
Sitting in the middle of the living room was Brian , his expression as icy as a glacier .
Even when Ariana had slapped him before , she had never seen such a terrifyingly cold look on his face .
The room was shrouded in darkness , illuminated only by the faint , chilly light of the moon filtering in through the windows .
The cold atmosphere made the space feel even more oppressive .
Where have you been ? Brians voice was unnervingly calm as he asked the question .
Ariana hadnt disappeared for just an hour or two , but for an entire day .
Facing his question , Ariana replied , I spent the night at Selenas house .
Why ? Do you need to micromanage this part of my life too ? Is that so ? Brian let out a cold laugh .
I spoke with Selenas father last night .
Guess what he told me ? Seeing that Brian had already done his homework , Ariana didnt bother to argue .
Brian , no matter what Ive done , I dont think it has anything to do with you .
Please stay out of my private life .
With that , she limped toward her bedroom .
But before she could get far , Brian rose from the sofa and suddenly pinned her against the wall .
The abrupt movement made Arianas expression darken instantly .
Brian ! What are you doing ? Before she could finish her sentence , Brian leaned down and bit her lips .
The sting of pain shot through her , and Arianas expression darkened .
She immediately shoved him away , but the pain in her injured arm radiated through her entire body , leaving her weak and trembling .
1/2 Chapter 292 Her movements had aggravated her wounds .
Brian Lodge ! Are you out of your mind ? Yes , I must be insane ! How else would I keep letting you lead me by the nose again and again ? As he spoke , his hand clamped around her throat , the pressure cutting off her air .
For a moment , Ariana struggled to breathe .
Let … go !
