Ariana knew that with Brian’s capabilities, it was only a matter of time before he uncovered her background. If she didn’t take the initiative and seize control of the situation, things could get really dangerous once Brian started piecing things together. Both she and Warto Group could be in trouble. 

With that thought, Ariana reluctantly said, “I’ll do my best 

“It’s not about doing your best. You have to do it,” William said, patting her shoulder. “This is a make–or–break moment. Think it through carefully.” 

“I know. I won’t let him find any loopholes.” 

William gave a small nod of acknowledgment. 

As Ariana continued surveying her office, William suddenly spoke again. 

“Oh, by the way.” 

“What now?” Ariana asked, puzzled by his strange behavior today. William wasn’t usually this chatty. 

“I heard something really interesting at school today. Want to hear it?” 

“No.” 

Ariana already had a feeling it would be about her. And most likely, it involved Brian and Fiona too. 

“Well, that’s a shame,” William sighed dramatically. “I was going to tell you how your ambitious little cousin has been misleading everyone in class, claiming she’s the Lodge family’s chosen future wife. But since you’re not

Ariana shook her head. “No need. I just moved into my new place and haven’t had time to unpack.”

William raised an eyebrow, as if suddenly remembering something. “Speaking of which, how broke are you right now? Why are you living in that tiny dump?” 

Ariana forced a smile. “Apartments around the university are in high demand. The high–end one Brian rented for me was already taken, and I had to move in a hurry. This was the best I could find for now.” 

“Those old neighborhoods aren’t safe. I know a few real estate friends–I’ll ask around tonight. If there’s a better place available, I’ll have movers help you relocate in a few days.”
