Chapter 61 Ariana was becoming far too arrogant .
Who did she think she was ? Gwen believed Ariana couldnt resolve Torrey Co.s funding crisis without Brians help .
Meanwhile , at Lodge Co.
, Brian was watching the news .
The headline Mr.
Lodge and Heiress of the Torreys Reconcile had made it to the days top trending news .
Emily stood before him and glanced at the file in her hand .
Mr.
Lodge , now that everyone knows about the renewed engagement between the Lodge and Torrey familles , what should we do about Torrey Co.s funding ? Hadnt we withdrawn them ? Brians tone was cold and detached , and Emily froze .
Brian continued , Since weve withdrawn them , theres no need to reinvest .
But if Torrey Co.
doesnt secure funding , their finances will collapse in less than three days .
When that happens , there might be no point for you to marry Ms.
Torrey anymore .
Brian leaned back in his chair and scoffed dismissively .
How else will Ariana come to me begging if we dont wait for that moment ? But … You saw it yourself .
Eve suffered , and Arianas arrogance stems from the backing of the Torrey family .
Lets see if shell still act so high and mighty when the Torrey family falls into ruin .
Shell have no choice but to yield .
Emily fell silent at Brians words .
Then , she said , But I heard that Ms.
Torrey has taken control of the Torrey family , and all their business is now under her authority .
What does she know about running a business as a pampered heiress whos only ever known to play ? Lets wait and see how she plans to handle the crisis , Brian replied dismissively .

Dont let it bother you , Evelyn .
Everyone knows Mr.
Lodge and Ariana are just putting on an act .

Lodge Senior dies , Im sure Mr.
