Emily couldn’t help but speak up. “Mr. Lodge, something about this doesn’t feel right.”
Ariana was acting completely out of character.
One moment, she refused to lift a finger, and the next, she was happily cooking in the kitchen. It was hard not to
feel suspicious.
“What doesn’t feel right?” Brian replied dismissively. “With Ariana, all you need is money and power, and she'll
fall in line. A woman like that, hmph.
It was already 8:00 pm when Brian cdownstairs.
Ariana placed the final dish on the table and removed her apron.
“Go upstairs, change your clothes, then cback down,” Brian commanded.
Ariana raised an eyebrow. “Where are the clothes?”
“Ms. Torrey, these are your clothes,” a maid replied, handing Ariana a maid's uniform.

He had expected her to throw a tantrum, but to his surprise, she simply took the uniform without a word and
went upstairs.
“Mr. Lodge...”
Emily couldn’t help but speak up, “Even though Mrs. Lodge Senior isn’t here, if she finds out you've humiliated
Ms. Torrey like this...”
“If she finds out, so be it,” Brian replied coldly.
“The Torrey family is just a stepping stone for the Lodge family’s connections. She’s nothing but a bankrupt

Brian took his seat, just as his guest arrived.
Ariana had been watching from upstairs and saw that the visitor was indeed Mr. Dalton, the overseas business

She recalled how William and Brian had been competing fiercely to win over Mr. Dalton. Whichever of them
secured the deal would see their project expand internationally.
Ariana raised an eyebrow.
In his previous life, Brian had also invited Mr. Dalton for a dinner party on this very day, all in an effort to win the
business deal and surpass William.
Back then, she had poured all her energy into preparing a variety of dishes, trying to satisfy Mr. Dalton’s
discerning palate.
In the end, her meticulous efforts paid off, and Mr. Dalton had chosen to cooperate with Brian.
But this time, things were different.

He casually dismissed Ariana’s role in the meal, though her culinary skills were truly outstanding
It was precisely because of his discerning taste that Ariana ad gone to the trouble of training under a master
chef.
However, it would be beneath the dignity of the renowned president of Lorge Co. to let anyone know that his
fiancée had personally cooked for a foreign businessman.
Just as Mr. Dalton was about to dig in, Brian suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Dalton, please wait a moment. There's
another guest who hasn't arrived yet.”
“Another guest?”
Just then, the maid at the door ushered in the guest.

Ariana, who had just cdownstairs, looked up and was taken aback when she saw William walking in.
Why was William here?
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Williamn hadn't attended this dinner party.
