Lambert released Ariana's hand and opened the passenger door for her, saying, "I still have some matters to deal with."
Ariana hesitated slightly as she looked at Lambert, but she didn't say anything considering his words and climbed into Trevor's car.
After Trevor had driven away, Lambert's assistant appeared from nowhere, leaning towards Lambert, and whispered, "Vice President, should we proceed with the remaining matters?"
Watching the departing car, Lambert cocked the corner of his lips slightly, "Tell those people to retreat first, then return to the company."
In the car, Ariana was still thinking about Lambert. Trevor, who was driving, glanced at the silent Ariana and said helplessly, "If you wanted to stay with him, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ariana was taken aback, coming back to her senses. Seeing Trevor was teasing her, she narrowed her eyes at him, "No, it's not what you think."
"Oh? Then what is it?" Trevor casually asked while controlling the steering wheel.
"I..."
Ariana was about to tell Trevor about her fake marriage with Lambert, but remembering the agreement between herself and Lambert, she withheld it.
She changed her words and said, "Thank you for coming to save me today. When everything is over, I'll treat you to a meal."
Trevor laughed lightly, "Just a meal?"
Ariana replied, "Of course not. But even if you want me to repay the favor, let's wait until you need it!"
There was a slight pause in Trevor’s gaze. "Uh... even without me, Lambert could have saved you!"
"No! That way, I would owe him even more favors!" Ariana said.
Hearing her say this, Trevor hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Ari, tell me honestly, did you two get married because of true feelings, or for some other reason?"
Of course, Trevor wasn't a fool. He had seen how much Ariana liked Vincent before.
Ariana was taken aback, almost forgetting that Trevor was a special forces soldier with keen detective abilities. Anything she concealed could easily be seen through if she showed any slight anomaly.
She gave a somewhat helpless bitter smile and said, "What if I tell you, I have my reasons?"
Trevor stepped on the brake making the car come to a sudden halt.
His gaze fell on Ariana with a hint of seriousness, "Do...uncle and aunt know about this?"
Ariana looked at him blankly, unable to resist covering her mouth to suppress her laughter, "You can't possibly believe it!"
Trevor was stunned momentarily, his annoyance evident as he cursed, "What the hell! Are you kidding me? You scared the crap out of me!"
After all, the idea of a sham marriage was too outrageous.
Ariana smiled teasingly, "A man like Lambert doesn't look like he is in a sham marriage at all!"
Remembering Lambert, Trevor sneered and looked at her disdainfully, "Superficial woman!"
He reached out to adjust the rearview mirror, narcissistically stroking his chin, "I don't think I'm worse than that Lambert. Why didn't you choose me?"
Ariana's mouth twitched as she watched Trevor self-admiringly look at himself in the mirror. Although Trevor was good-looking, with a sunny and attractive appearance, after knowing each other for so many years, she couldn't help but tease him.
"Every time I remember you wetting my bed in kindergarten, I just can't bring myself to make a move on you."
Trevor's face instantly darkened. He aggressively adjusted the rearview mirror back into place, "Hmph!"
The only stain on his life had become a permanent lethal blow!
"Aren't all people half..."
