searched intently for information on her computer.
She had fallen behind academically after being away for months. Though she had three years of practical
experience from her previous life, she still needed to study in a serious, methodical way.

She would never make the sfoolish mistake of dropping out for a man again, as she had in her previous life,
naively thinking she’d found her happy ending. It was ridiculous.
Right when Ariana was typing away at her paper, the door suddenly opened. A strong smell of alcohol wafted in.
Ariana frowned and quickly closed her laptop.

“This is my house. | can go wherever | want.”
Suddenly, Brian walked toward her.
Ariana caught the smell of alcohol on him and wrinkled her brow. “Brian, what are you doing?”
Isn't it a bit
Brian didn’t miss the look of disgust in her eyes. It was that slook she'd been giving him ever since the
engagement party. He found it infuriating..
He grabbed her arm and said, “You're my fiancée! Anything | do with you is perfectly justified! What do you think
| want?”
“You're drunk!”
Ariana tried to pull away, but he scooped her up in his arms
“Putdown!” Ariana’s face darkened.
“No.”
“Will you let go or not?”
“I said no!”
Brian stubbornly carried her to the bed. Ariana wasn’t having it. She bit down hard on his shoulder.
He hissed in pain and had to loosen his hold. He sucked in a breath and yelled, “Ariana! Are you a dog? How dare
you bite me!”
“You cbarging into my room drunk and throwing a tantrum. You deserve worse than that!” Ariana snapped.
If you're here to punishbecause of Evelyn, or if you wantto go easy on her two friends, you can forget it.

Evelyn?”
“It's not just in my mind. You really do defend her,” Ariana replied. “Everyone in Gleaston knows Evelyn is the
one you cherish most. Even today, you blindly took her side, didn’t you?”
Hearing this, Brian quickly retorted, “That's because Evelyn isn't like that...”
“See? You believe her and assI'm the one who stirs up trouble and acts harshly. You assI'm always in
the wrong, don’t you?”
