Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 127

127 /630

Old Mr. Stone coldly scolded, "Do you think I can't see through your little tricks?"

These two daughters-in-law had always enjoyed bullying Jolene before. Now they wanted to bully Ariana too.

"I..." Khloe was immediately too scared to speak.

At this moment, Ariana grinned coldly, "Grandfather, making them kneel in the ancestral hall again, isn't that too lenient?"

Khloe and Aster glared at Ariana angrily, but they dared not speak out.

Old Mr. Stone said irritably, "It's my business how I punish them!"

She looked at the two women, "Today, they've repeatedly insulted my family, attempted to create a rift between me and my mother-in-law, and even deliberately framed me with the blue and white porcelain! If their punishment is kneeling in the ancestral hall, I can't accept it."

Old Mr. Stone paused and felt that Ariana made some reasonable points, "So, how do you propose we punish them?"

Ariana remarked, "This blue and white porcelain is so valuable, yet these two aunts of mine wasted it so casually. Why don't we have them do chores to experience the hardships our ancestors had to go through?"

Old Mrs. Stone, standing by, agreed that this idea had merit, nodding approvingly, "That's actually a good idea."

After all, making them kneel in the ancestral hall without making them truly understand their wrongs would only breed more resentment.

Khloe looked like she was on the verge of tears, "Dad! We've never done any housework before!"

Ever since they were born, they were pampered and spoilt. After marrying into the Stone family, they had a house full of servants and didn't need to do anything.

Old Mr. Stone sternly said, "If you don't know how, then learn! Housekeeper, go and see what chores need to be done around the house."

The housekeeper hurriedly informed, "Master, there are quite a few bed sheets that need cleaning."

"Let's have them hand wash them!"

Khloe and Aster almost fainted when they heard the requirement to hand wash bed sheets. As a family's bed sheets were changed daily, they would certainly be worn out from hand washing.

After finishing his statement, the Old Mr. Stone snorted and walked out directly.

Old Mrs. Stone, watching these two, could only shake her head helplessly and comfort Ariana saying, "Good child, I'm sorry you had to go through this."

Ariana shook her head slightly, inadvertently noticing that Lambert standing next to Old Mrs. Stone was looking at her teasingly, which caught her off guard.

She didn't need to think about it, he definitely saw through everything.

Seeing that the two seemed to be getting along better, Old Mrs. Stone smiled slightly with a hidden meaning and followed Old Mr. Stone out.

After the two elders left, Khloe and Aster glared at Ariana with hateful eyes.

She laughed lightly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you bring it upon yourselves?"

"You!" Khloe was eager to tear Ariana apart but didn't dare to.

Her original idea was to use the porcelain to provoke Old Mr. Stone into making things difficult for Ariana, and deliberately provoke Aster to make things difficult for Ariana. Even if it was discovered, everyone would suspect Aster, not her.

But Khloe didn't expect that the porcelain would accidentally break, and the servant would implicate her.

Seeing their unwilling expressions, Ariana laughed lightly, hooked her hand around Lambert's arm, and said leisurely, "Time to get to work. You all have a hard day ahead."

Lambert didn't resist her affection, only slightly raising his eyebrows.

Of course, he didn't believe Ariana truly mistook the real porcelain for a replica while cleaning. All he could say was that these two were unlucky. They calculated others, but in the end, they shot themselves in the foot.

Ariana left both people quite upset, and then cheerfully went to work.

However, along the way to work, neither Ariana nor Lambert said a word.

Despite the morning's incident, which had considerably eased the atmosphere between the two compared to last night, the previous night’s occurrence made Ariana feel an inexplicable sense of awkwardness.
