Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 121

Beverly slightly nodded, clenched her teeth, and said, "I must figure out the real purpose of Ariana's marriage to Lambert! Otherwise, wouldn't my family and I have been humiliated for nothing?"

These words, seemingly for the sake of her family and herself, in truth, had an underlying implication to enlighten Old Mr. Stone.

If Ariana didn't marry Lambert for love then she must have had other motives. The Thomas family had already been half-destroyed and Old Mr. Stone was bound to have some apprehensions.

"Good, cooperate with her investigation. Don't stand out too much. Carry out the investigation secretly.” Old Mr. Stone slightly nodded and spoke to the special assistant.

Seeing Old Mr. Stone's agreement, Beverly's eyes shimmered with a crafty smile.

On the other hand, after getting rid of Beverly, Lambert headed directly to the Night Bar. He played a few hands with William Austin. William lost continually. To avoid losing everything even his pants, he finally couldn't help asking, "Who pissed you off so much that you took it out on me?"

Upon hearing these words, Lambert raised an eyebrow at him, "Why do you ask?"

William chuckled lightly, "Ever since you came in, you've had a cold expression on your face, it's not like you at all, is it because you regret stepping into the 'tomb of marriage'?”

It was no surprise that William would think so. Since Lambert got married, he had rarely gone to outside bars.

Moreover, Ariana didn't seem to be easy to deal with. Surely, after getting married, she began to tighten her control over Lambert.

When Ariana was mentioned, Lambert's card-dealing motion paused, "Not like me?"

William said: "Just take a look at yourself. Since you came in, none of the beauties dared approach you."

In the past, although Lambert did not play with women, he never showed a cold face to any woman. He was known as the most gentlemanly ladies' man in the circle.

Almost every time he came, it would stir up a commotion among the women.

Lambert raised his eyebrows, looking at the women around him. As expected, they were casting cautious glances at him, daring not to make a sound.

William smiled lightly, saying, "I really don’t understand you. If you want a woman, there are all kinds available. Why tire yourself out?”

With a dismissive glance at him, Lambert replied mildly, "No, she's special."

"I think so too. After all, I've never seen a woman like Ariana." William could tell Ariana was very smart, but... being too smart might become a problem.

The more Lambert thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he said to the waiter: "Bring me a glass of wine."

"Yes!" The waiter responded.

Just as the waiter was about to leave, Lambert changed his mind, "Never mind, forget it."

William watched as Lambert continued with his caprice, chuckling, "Coming to a bar and not drinking, how strange."

Lambert paused and raised his eyebrow at him, soberly stating, "I drove here."

Suddenly it clicked for William. Seeing Lambert’s furrowed brows, he couldn't help teasing, "Are you falling head over heels for Ariana?"

Being a friend and a collaborator, William could read Lambert's moods quite accurately.

Lambert paused for a split second before responding, "Such a woman, is no fun at all."

William patted Lambert's shoulder, sincerely adding, "Tell me if you need anything. After all, it's rare to see you, the Lambert Stone, perplexed over a love matter."

He continued, "Ariana has a misunderstanding about my relationship with Beverly, and the Lawrence family is adamant about pressing charges against the Stone family."

"You mean that you want to suppress the Lawrence Family?" William frowned slightly.

Lambert indifferently said, "The building materials partner for the new project is yet to be decided, and both the Lawrence Group and the Austin Group have upper-class domestic resources at their disposal."
