Torrey , thats your lounge .
A staff members voice caught Brians attention .
Ariana walked in wearing a fitted black dress that highlighted her elegance .
Her hair was styled in waves behind her back .
Her beauty was breathtaking even with minimal makeup .
Even the staff couldnt help taking a second look .
Ariana said , Theres no need .
Lets start as soon as possible .
Understood .
Well start right away .
The door to the lounge opened , and Ariana turned to see Evelyn step out .
The latter was dressed in a class Chanel outfit that radiated a gentle and refined demeanor .
Im so sorry about yesterday , Ms.
Torrey .
Evelyn apologized , but her actions seemed deliberate as she subtly allowed Ariana to catch a glimpse of Brian in the lounge .
Even at a time like this , Evelyn still felt the need to declare her claim over Brian .
How unnecessary .
Ive tried persuading Brian , but he … Evelyn paused with a troubled expression .
I hope you wont hold it against him , she said as she stepped forward and clasped Arianas hand .
Ariana glanced at the hand Evelyn held and quietly withdrew .
Then , she smiled and said , Youre overthinking Theres nothing going on between me and Brian .
Breaking off the engagement is something Im more than happy about , so why would I hold it against him ? Seeing the lack of sentiment in Arianas eyes for Brian , Evelyn smiled .
Thats good to hear .
Ms.
Torrey , its time for you to go onstage .
A member of staff walked up to Ariana , who nodded and followed them in the direction of the stage .
Everythings ready , Mr.
Lodge .
Brian responded with a soft hum before getting up and heading for the stage .
Evelyn remained in place and watched the two head up the stage to clarify the situation .
Her heart raced with anticipation .
She couldnt help but wonder how great it would be if they could officially break off the engagement today .
The stage was illuminated by countless flashing cameras as Ariana and Brian took their seats on opposite sides .
Good afternoon , Mr.
Lodge and Ms.
Torrey .
Were informed that todays conference is to clarify breaking off the engagement .
Is it true that Ms.
Torrey initiated this at the engagement ceremony ? Brian frowned at the question .
Arlana had spread a rumor through Selenas article about his supposed dysfunction which sparked a wave of gossip .
Though theyd managed to hold it down , the topic raised questions .
Now everyone waited for Arianas response .
Ariana delivered a shocking reply .
I wouldnt know since Ive never tried .
Perhaps you should ask someone with firsthand experience .
1/2 Chapter 55 +25 BONUS Her words implied a jab at Evelyn .
Some reporters snickered as they caught onto the hidden insinuation , but Brians frown deepened .
However , Ariana looked entirely unbothered .
Their paths would diverge after today , so she wasnt afraid of offending Brian in the slightest .
Another reporter threw a second question forward .
Does this mean the engagement will be called off today , Ms.
Torrey and Mr.
Lodge ?
