Out of everyone, Ariana was the most pathetic.
She had no time to wonder about other people’s futures.
Her plan was to stay far from Brian, stick with Victor, join forces with William, and avoid provoking Brennan. That way, she might avoid a terrible end.
The more she thought, the more sense it made. She felt at ease, staying home to recover.
By evening, when Brian returned home, Fiona was waiting for him in a white dress. She had even prepared slippers and tried to help him take off his coat.
“Mr. Lodge, let me do it.”
Brian gave Fiona only a faint glance. He had no intention of letting her help.
Fiona slowly lowered her hand, which hung there awkwardly.
“Martha,” Brian called out.
No one answered when Brian called.
Fiona stepped forward and said, “Mr. Lodge, do you need something done? Just tell me.”
She looked at him expectantly. Today, she wore the dress Gwen picked out, in a style Evelyn liked. Evelyn even had one just like it.
Seeing Fiona hovering around him, Brian finally spoke. “Who gave you permission to come to my home?”
A normal woman might have felt hurt by his tone, but Fiona said softly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lodge. I thought Mrs. Lodge Senior had told you in advance…”

She had heard that Brian had already slept with Ariana. A man who had experienced such pleasures couldn’t possibly remain indifferent to her seduction.
Fiona tried everything to please Brian, but he abruptly tore the beige scarf from her neck. His rough action startled her, and her face turned pale.
Brian said coldly, “Evelyn doesn’t like anyone wearing theme clothes as her. If you wear that again, I’ll tip it off again.”
“Mr. Lodge…”
“Get out!” Brian fumed
Flora was 100 scared to move, Seeing his face grow colder, he quickly said; “Mr. Lodge! I’m sorry! I really didn’t mem to make you upset. It’s Mrs. Lodge Senior She told to

Fiona forced back her tears, looking even more pitiful.
Belinda liked that about her, so she said to Brian, “Fiona is Ariana’s cousin. Mrs. Torrey sent her here because she wants to repay you for helping her get into college. Don’t be so rough with her.”
“Repay me? By offering herself?” Brian said sarcastically. “Mrs. Torrey is really trying to attach herself to our family. After Ariana called off our engagement, she sent Fiona here. What a greedy woman.”
