Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 107

107 /630

The people who witnessed this scene were all left speechless. Even Old Mr. Stone, who had initially intended to assert his authority over Ariana, was dumbfounded. However, Hugh, grinning ear to ear, easily accepted the tea without complaint.

Second Aunt Aster Brown chuckled lightly and said to Ariana, "Ariana, now that you are married into the Stone family, traditionally, the bride should wake up early to serve tea. So, why did you sleep in so late today?"

"That's right! Third sister-in-law, in my opinion, this is your mistake."

Aunt Khloe seemed to have suddenly found a way to vent out, she turned to Jolene, whose face was filled with displeasure, and continued, "Theoretically, Ariana is your daughter-in-law. You should teach her well, otherwise, if she goes out, people will say that the Stone family is ignorant of etiquette. And this habit of not respecting elders should also be changed."

"That's right, and if you can't teach her properly, my oldest sister-in-law and I could help you."

At Aster's words, Jolene's face instantly turned grim.

They were always trying to humiliate her, and now they had even dragged her daughter-in-law into it.

Jolene felt like she couldn't take it any longer. But she wasn't good at scolding people. She just said with a bad expression "Thanks for the kind offers, but instead of teaching my daughter-in-law, you should consider spending more time disciplining your own children."

Aster and Khloe's eyes darkened. Aster sarcastically shot back, "Sorry for being an inadequate sister-in-law. This daughter-in-law of yours is not easy to teach. It's difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, Ariana chuckled, drawing back everyone's attention.

"Mother, please have some tea."

Ariana retrieved the teacup from the servant and respectfully handed it to Jolene.

Jolene, unwilling to spare them any more attention, looked somewhat relieved while accepting the tea from Ariana.

After receiving the tea, she said, "They say that wealthy families have many customs. Although the White family is well-off, it is a relatively small household. Ariana, it seems like you have seen quite a lot today."

Caught off guard with her remarks, Aster and Khloe were instantly lost for words. Seeing the two taken aback brought some satisfaction to Jolene. She glanced at Ariana, and her satisfaction with this daughter-in-law grew more.

Old Mr. Stone watched this scene and could easily see what these people were thinking. He looked at them with a stern face and couldn't help but sneer when he saw that these two daughters-in-law, who were sharp-tongued, were not as clever as Ariana.

Ariana returned to Lambert's side, sitting in a docile and agreeable manner, without any signs of the sharpness she displayed moments ago.

The two women were furious but helpless.

Silence filled the air until Khloe suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Ariana, didn't you drive Lambert out of the room last night?"

Upon hearing Khloe's words, his gaze flickered and he subconsciously looked at Ariana. He smiled faintly then turned to explain. But before he could speak, Ariana grabbed his hand.

She used all of her strength, causing his hand to hurt. It seemed like a silent warning, telling him not to speak absurdly. However, to others, this looked nothing less than a display of intimacy between the couple.

Ariana stopped Lambert from talking nonsense and calmly addressed Khloe, "Auntie, you're looking too much into it. It's merely some playful banter between a couple, not a big deal. I never thought you'd bring it up."

As she spoke, she even managed an embarrassed smile.
