Thinking about the wedding, Ariana recalled her wedding night with Vincent in her past life where to her surprise, Vincent was with Jane and her heart sank.
The next day, Lambert paid a visit as expected.
Ariana, who had stayed up most of the night in thought, woke up and came downstairs to see quite a few items piled in the living room. Lambert was there, chatting and laughing with her parents.
Ariana looked at them in confusion and asked, "What is all this?"
Her voice drew the attention of the three people who had been conversing. Felicia by her side, barely suppressing her laughter, whispered, "Miss, these are Mr. Stone's wedding gifts!"
"Wedding gifts?" Ariana nearly choked on her surprise.
Georgia glanced at her with a soft smile and said, "The wedding date has already been set for the ninth of December, the most auspicious date soonest possible!"
"So soon!"
The ninth of December, that would mean... it was just a week away!
Ariana was utterly shocked. What's even more annoying is that she couldn't convince her parents last night, but as soon as Lambert came, they even chose a date!
What a nightmare, waking up to this arranged situation!
Lambert flashed a smug smile and said, "It's not soon, I even think it's a bit tardy."
He looked at Ariana with eager eyes.
Ariana felt a chill run down her spine and shivered slightly.
Could it be that Lambert's departure yesterday was all in preparation for this?
Gilbert cleared his throat, stopping these two young people from flirting. He said, "Since the wedding date has been set, you should start preparing now!"
Ariana retorted, "No! I want my parents to help me prepare for the wedding. Moreover, we have to announce the White family's wedding preparations! It has to be high-profile, the higher, the better!"
Georgia looked at her, somewhat puzzled, "Ari?"
"Sure!" Lambert agreed with a smirk.
His unhesitating acceptance made everyone even more confused.
As the news spread, as expected, it startled every major media outlet.
All major media outlets rushed to report that the Stone family's strongest heir was marrying into the White family!
When Old Mr. Stone learned that the White family was preparing a wedding for Lambert and Ariana, his anger caused turmoil in the entire family.
Even after sending someone to the White residence to warn Gilbert and Georgia, they only received an invitation to the wedding. The implication was: you're welcome if you come, if you don't, that's fine too!
Old Mr. Stone originally thought that Gilbert would somewhat consider the Stone family and call off the wedding. However, he never expected that they would continue with the celebrations, eating and drinking as if nothing happened.
In the meantime, Lambert and Ariana had been busy selecting wedding dresses and taking wedding photos during this time, unaffected by the chaos.
The Lawrence family came to question a few times, but Old Mr. Stone was not in the mood to respond.
Old Mr. Stone was preoccupied with Lambert marrying into the White family. He had no interest in thinking about the Lawrence family, especially since Lambert had caused the market value of the Stone Group to rise by eleven percent. Now, the Lawrence family seemed somewhat eager to please them.
Ariana had to pose and take wedding photos for several days. When she got home, she flopped onto the bed completely exhausted.
She didn't even have the energy to lift a finger!
She remembered in her past life when she married Vincent, she didn't have to go through so much trouble. At that time, Ariana wanted to choose everything herself, but Vincent said he was too busy and asked her not to worry too much. Almost everything was prepared by others, Even the wedding photos were taken casually.
