Chapter 132
Not giving Fiona a chance to turn her down, Ariana held Fiona by the arm and hauled her away as their classmates. gossiped away in hushed voices.
“Is Ariana jealous of Fiona because Fiona has been hanging out with Mr. Lodge?”
“Ariana must be here to confront Fiona. Did you see her face?”
“Ariana thinks too highly of herself. She has no right to envy Fiona for winning Mr. Lodge’s heart. Anyone knows that Ariana is just his fiancée on paper!”
Selena glared at the people who were badmouthing Ariana What did you guys just say? Repeat that again?”
Knowing that Selena was the daughter of the chairman of a newspaper agency, those around her immediately apologized
Sorry, Selena. That’s all nonsense.”
Right! It’s all nonsense. Don’t take it seriously.”
“I’m warning, you speak ill of Ariana again, and I’ll make you suffer.” Selena sounded cold.
Everyone fell silent. They were afraid of offending Selena.
Unlike Ariana, who only had a stepmother, Selena had the backing of her parents.
At the same time, Ariana had dragged Fiona into an empty classroom.
Fiona flashed a pitiful expression. “Ariana, you’re hurting me.”
“What did you say to Brian?”
“Fiona bit her lip. “I didn’t say anything.”
Her sorry expression made Ariana chuckle. Arlana stated, “I’m not a fan of violence, but I will go physical on those who test my limits.”
“Ariana, 1–I really have no idea what you are talking about. Fiona had broken down into tears. “I don’t know who told you about it, but I swear I did not run my mouth when I was with Mr. Lodge”
“Drop the act. Your classmates and I have seen what happened today. Denial is useless. How about I ask one of your classmates? They all know what you and Brian did this morning.”
When Selena suddenly showed up in the empty classroom, Fiona’s face fell.
Ariana continued flatly, “I’m sure you know you get to attend Glea College because of me. There’s no other reason Brian would use his connections for you.
“Fiona, you have one more chance. Are you going to tell the truth or not?”
“I–I will!” Fiona blurted out, “I am sorry to you. I didn’t do it on purpose. It was… It was Mr. Lodge who asked me about it. He’s the one who helped me into Glea College. I was scared that he might get me expelled if I didn’t tell the truth!”
Without warning, she reached out to grab Ariana’s arm. She begged, “Ariana, it was my fault. I was wrong. B–But I’m also speaking the truth. You should stay away from other men now that you’re engaged.
“Ariana, don’t be mad at me. I helped put in a good word for you in front of Mr. Lodge…”
