Gwen had always advised Igor to bring up the Lodge family if he ever ran into trouble.
Hunter merely laughed and twisted even harder.
“Stop,” a voice demanded.
Ariana turned around and saw Brian walking toward them.
Brian said coldly, “There’s no need for Mr. Smith to handle Lodge family matters.”
Victor remained silent and signaled Hunter, who then released his grip.

The two men behind Igor tried to flee.
However, Brian's men were quick and immediately caught them.
Victor let go of Ariana’s arm and pushed her toward Brian. This is your family’s matter. Handle it yourself.”
With that, Victor turned and left, with Hunter closely following him.
As they departed, Hunter even glared at Brian.
“What happened?” Brian asked Ariana coldly.
Ariana was covered in mud from head to toe. She glanced at the tand said bluntly, “Aside from the
unconscious! one, the rest of them intended to kill me. And yes, they also planned to assault me.”
She didn’t hide anything. Igor’s expression turned ugly at that.
Brian frowned.
Igor’s friends were panicking. One of them stammered, “M. Lodge! | had nothing to do with it! This was all Igor’'s
idea!”
“He’s right! We tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen! There was nothing we could do!”
“Mr. Lodge, this is a family matter. Please let us go!!
The group began blaming each other, desperately trying to shift responsibility.
Brian remained stoic. He turned to Emily and ordered coldly, “Handle this.”
“Yes.” Emily stepped forward, and the three men paled in fear.
Emily called for their men to beat them and even recorded the entire thing.

Brian turned to Ariana. “Cwith me.”
Ariana followed him silently. When they reached the main entrance, Brian suddenly stopped.
Ariana bumped into his back.
He turned and asked coldly, “Who's the first person you contact when something happens?”
“Me?” Ariana frowned, unsure where this was going.

“You contacted Victor first, right? Brian pressed.
Ariana felt speechless by his logic. She hadn't contacted anyone. But even if she had, why would it matter?
“Mr. Lodge,” she said seriously, “Letbe clear. | didn’t contact Mr. Smith.”
