Ariana , did you pay online trolls to smear Evelyns name ? The commotion drew attention in the cafeteria .
Soon , all eyes were on Ariana and the others .
Ariana slowly lifted her head in the face of Lilas questioning .
She couldnt recognize either Lila or Maddie and took a moment to size them up .
They were wearing trendy brands and accessorized with luxury items , but not the top tier pieces .
From this , Ariana could infer that their families were moderately wealthy and might be pulling in small six figure monthly incomes .
They hadnt attended Evelyns birthday party two days ago because they werent worthy of an invitation , not because they didnt want to .
Ariana replied , And you are … Dont worry about who I am ! Youre just bullying Evelyn because you think youre the heiress of the Torrey family , arent you ? Let me tell you , Mr.
Lodge loves Evelyn , and not you .
Youre the one ruining their relationship ! Youre the mistress ! Ariana watched her act all so righteous and laughed .
Do you even understand what a business marriage means ? Dont you think your words are too ridiculous for a top student at Glea College ? Lilas face darkened .
What did you just say ? Ariana calmly replied , Everyone here at Glea College is exceptional .
The marriage between the Lodge and Torrey families is a business marriage that mutually benefits both companies .
This is an arrangement among adults , and thats why Im legally recognized as Brians legitimate fiancée and future wife .
Now who were you saying is the mistress in this relationship ? Youre contorting the truth ! Lila couldnt find the right words to revoke Ariana .
Her face was flushed with anger as she snapped , You wouldnt have stood a chance if Mrs.
Lodge Senior approved of Evelyn .
How dare you act so high and mighty ? Youre right .
Mrs.
Lodge Senior doesnt approve of Ms.
Granger , so that would mean Ms.
Granger doesnt have the status or the right to be the lady of the Lodges .
She never will .
Its like marrying someone you dont love .
You cant possibly say that the legal wife is the mistress just because the man loves another woman .
Ariana continued , Imagine if your husband sleeps with another woman .
Youd call her a homewrecker and accuse her of stealing your husband , rather than admit youre the mistress and in the wrong How dare you ! Lila was at a loss for words .
She had nothing more to say than that .
Stop pretending to be all righteous , Ariana .
I heard the Torrey family is on the brink of bankruptcy , and whether the Torrey family is qualified to join the Lodge family in a business marriage is still up for debate .
When you go bankrupt , Mr.
Lodge will be the first to dum you , Maddie chimed in .
Im not sure if Brian will dump me , but I do know that hell definitely dump Evelyn .
