Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 104

104 /630

Ariana curled her lips and said, "Miss Lawrence, may I ask how your engagement with Lambert started?"

Beverly stiffened and snorted coldly, "Naturally, both parents were aware and agreed!"

"Did Lambert ever agree to marry you?" she continued to ask.

Beverly said, "Of course, he did!"

She was lying, but with the current situation, the most important thing was to drag Lambert and Ariana down with her. As for whether it was true or not, did they have the means to investigate further?

Beverly's answer led to even more gossip among those present. Old Mr. Stone couldn't help but stand up and say, "Miss Lawrence..."

"Grandpa, you also knew about it. You arranged the marriage. Could it be..." Beverly stared at Old Mr. Stone with teary eyes, choking, "Are you now watching Lambert and Ariana get married like this? Then what about me?"

Old Mr. Stone had originally intended to deny it all. After all, Lambert had just exchanged rings with Ariana. If he acknowledged an engagement with the Lawrence family now, there's no telling how the media would spin it. He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to control all the reporters on the scene.

But looking at Beverly's red-rimmed eyes, and her pitiful tone, he suddenly couldn't utter a word of denial.

He didn't know how to start. No matter how he explained it, it seemed like the Stone family was the one who was being fickle, and Beverly was the victim.

Old Mr. Stone fell silent, The rest of the Stone family members stood by, enjoying the spectacle. They had no intention of coming forward to clarify the situation. Lambert's parents, Hugh, and Jolene wanted to step forward and say something.

But as they were about to speak, Aunt Khloe blocked them and sarcastically said, "Sister, this is the younger generation's affairs. And we all knew about Beverly's engagement with Lambert. Are you going to deny it blatantly?

Khloe lowered her voice deliberately, she dared not let Old Mr. Stone hear this. If he did, it would disgrace the Stone family in such a situation. They would have a hard time when they returned home. But she could use this to attack Jolene!

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Jolene's face changed, and before she could react, she was pulled back by Hugh.

Hugh looked at the scene with a dark face, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense. Ariana's parents hadn't expected such a turn of events. Just as they were about to stand up, Ariana suddenly turned around, her tone playful as she looked at Lambert, "Do you know about your engagement with Miss Lawrence?"

As this question was asked, almost all the gazes in the room were focused on Lambert.

Lambert slightly raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ariana, and then turned his gaze to Beverly with a polite smile.

"Miss Lawrence, regarding our engagement, I explained to you a few years ago when I first learned about it. It was a decision made by our elders. But I am an independent person. I only want to spend my life with a woman I genuinely love, and now, I have found that woman. She is Ari."

Upon hearing this, Beverly had a violent reaction; "No! You didn't! Ariana seduced you! Moreover, even if this matter was arranged by our elders, by doing this now, where does that leave me?"

Beverly's reaction made it clear to everyone that their elders arranged this engagement without asking the children first. And from the looks of it, Lambert had explained the situation to Beverly before, but she was unwilling to let go and even made a scene at the wedding...

"Miss Lawrence, the matter has been clarified. The elders arranged your engagement with Lambert with his knowledge, and when he learned about it, he explained everything to you. Marriage is not a game. It's unfair to both of you to be in this situation. Marriage shouldn't be a sacrifice to appease parents."

"But Lambert and I were the ones who got engaged in childhood, and you are an interloper. What gives you the right to lecture me!"
