"Ah!"

Ariana was startled, instinctively placing her hands on Lambert's chest.

She was dressed in a bathrobe, which was quite conservative, but his gaze made her feel like she was being scrutinized from head to toe.

Lambert smirked quietly, "You know, I don’t accept common ways of saying thanks, also, I settle the score!" The last words were drawn out, filled with a bone-chilling tone of menace, as he leaned in to continue their interrupted kiss.

Ariana was so scared that goosebumps broke out all over her skin, again placing her hand over his lips, her brows furrowed and her eyes glaring, "Lambert!”

He paused, raising his eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to continue, "Hmm?"

Her tone was crisp and annoyed, "We are only in a sham marriage, this isn't right, is it?"

At her words, Lambert stroked her cheek with his knuckles lightly. His warm touch slid gently over her skin, causing her to shudder involuntarily. In a mildly threatening tone, he said, "You used me in broad daylight, you think you can just get away with it?"

Even though Lambert's voice was gentle, she could feel an actual threat behind his words. His deep voice seemed to echo menacingly in her ears.

Ariana scoffed, "You were asking for it!” Saying this, she tried to struggle out of his grip, only to be held tighter.

Lambert raised an eyebrow, "I was asking for it?"

Ariana smirked, "Hmm, Beverly repeatedly provoked me while you just sat there and did nothing. Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

Hearing her words, his eyes narrowed slightly, a corner of his lips raised slightly, "What am I up to?”

She pulled his hand away from her cheek and said seriously, "You wanted to see me and Beverly fight each other and hoped that I would drive Beverly out of the company to give you some peace.

But you didn't expect Beverly to bring Johan to deal with me. Beverly's people secretly took pictures of Johan and me so Beverly could use them against me. But seeing that I showed no reaction and even went to dinner with Johan, you couldn't grasp the situation and decided to accept Beverly's invitation to the restaurant on purpose.”

He was not helpless against Beverly; he just wanted to toy with her.

Lambert curved his lips, "You're very smart, and you're not wrong."

Ariana scoffed, “It's not just that. Even though I successfully dragged you into the pit, I just found out that you deliberately took me away in front of so many people! You wanted Beverly to hate me even more!"

Especially when she deliberately misled Johan, making him think she agreed to dine with him only to make Lambert jealous.

Once Beverly finds out, she’ll surely hate her to death.

Thinking of this, Ariana felt somewhat helpless.

Although she was not afraid of Beverly, she felt that Lambert was the truly frightening person.

While she was scheming against him, he was also plotting against her.

Lambert smirked and said meaningfully, "You guessed so much, so… have you guessed… why I asked you to do this?"

Ariana frowned, “Why…”

"Do you know how to beg people?" he asked in a deep voice.

Ariana was taken aback for a moment. She couldn't understand why Lambert would ask her this.

"I..."

Before she could finish her words, Lambert pressed down and kissed her.

Lambert's pleasant scent filled my nostrils, causing her to feel oddly dazed.
