A Bride’s Revenge No Longer the Backup novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392 

“Neil Loge? Who is that?” 

Ariana looked at Selena in confusion. 

The two of them were having lunch in the school cafeteria, 

Selena, fiddling with her phone, replied, “Oh, he was our senior.” 

As she spoke, Selena handed her phone to Ariana and continued, “Looks like he was the heir of the Loge family, but his family no longer lives in Gleaston. His whole family was rumored to have moved abroad after his death. 

“Right now, the forums are full of gossip about Evelyn. They say Evelyn, Neil, and Mr. Lodge grew up together. When Evelyn and Neil were still minors, they secretly crossed the line, and she ended up pregnant. 

“They were supposed to get married because of the baby, but Neil got into a car accident and died unexpectedly. Not long after, Evelyn had a miscarriage. 

“Over the years, Mr. Lodge had always indulged Evelyn to honor his promise to Neil before Neil’s death. He and Evelyn were never actually romantically involved with each other.” 

Ariana glanced at the information on her phone. 

There were quite a few old photos of Evelyn and Neil walking into a maternity store together. The pictures seemed to be at least four or five years old. 

Could this rumor actually be true? 

Ariana frowned. 

If that were the case, why did Brian abandon her in their past life and rush to the airport to look for Evelyn? “Ari? Ari?” 

Seeing Ariana lost in thought, Selena asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Why are you acting funny? 

“It’s nothing.” 

Ariana handed the phone back to Selena and said, “But that still doesn’t prove that Brian has no feelings for Evelyn.” 

“True, but now everyone thinks he doesn’t love her and is only acting out of responsibility. Otherwise, why. wouldn’t he protect her?” 

“Who says he didn’t protect her?” 

If it weren’t for William’s intervention this time, Evelyn would have graduated college. 

“Did 

you not watch the video on the forum? Mr. Lodge clearly rejected Evelyn. He only agreed after she used Neil’s death to blackmail him emotionally.” 

Selena added with a sigh, “This is the first time I feel like that scumbag Brian Lodge has some sort of moral compass. Too bad it’s not much of one. 

“But honestly, given Mr. Lodge’s influence, he had plenty of ways to protect Evelyn, but he didn’t take any action Otherwise, I bet she still would have graduated without a litch” 

Hearing this, Ariana fell silent for a moment. 

That was true. If Brian had wanted to, not even William–on anyone more powerful–could have stopped him from protecting Evelyn.

But this time, he didn’t step in all the way, 

Could she have misjudged Brian? 

Ariana shook her head. What did it matter? At the end of the day, he still stood up for Evelyn. 

It made no real difference. 

She took a sip of water and said, “I have something to do tonight. Congratulations on graduating, Selena.” 

“Same to you!” 

After leaving school, Ariana returned to the Torrey residence. 

She hadn’t been back for a few days while recovering from her injuries, and in that time, Gwen and Igor had been quarreling nonstop. 

When she arrived, Gwen enthusiastically welcomed Ariana at the door in a sudden reversal of her usual attitude. 

“Oh, you’re back? I heard you were seriously injured! Why didn’t you rest at home for your recovery? Come. Let me take a look at your injury. Does it still hurt?”
