She looked at him with a gloomy face. Lambert was already starting to overstep his boundaries.

On the other side, hearing that Ariana had is back, the first aunt and second aunt were eager to settle accounts with Ariana. However, they were surprised to see the White family in the living room. Their faces instantly turned grim.

Georgia naturally noticed their unusual facial expression towards Ariana. She asked with a smile, "May I know who you two are?"

Ariana obviously noticed their stares and introduced them with feigned enthusiasm, "Mom, these are my two aunts. This is the first aunt, and this is the second aunt.”

No matter how angry Khloe and Aster were, they didn’t dare to vent their anger in front of Old Mrs. Stone and the White family. They held back their feelings for a while before greeting, “Hello.”

They had been washing bed sheets all day long, their hands were raw. Every time they washed a sheet, their resentment towards Ariana increased more.

Initially, they planned to reprimand her privately upon her return. But unexpectedly, the White family came.

Georgia said kindly, "We only have one daughter, she may be a bit willful. We hope the elders can show more understanding if there are any shortcomings."

Khloe and Aster glanced at Ariana, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

This Georgia was obviously warning them not to bully Ariana. But now, who was bullying whom?

Jolene answered with a light smile, "How could that be? Since Ari married into the family, the house has become much more lively."

Old Mrs. Stone added with a hearty smile, "Yes, it will definitely be livelier if Ari could add a little baby to the Stone family next year."

During mealtime, Ariana kept her mouth shut, silently listening to their various discussions about children, not daring to utter a word.

At that moment, Lambert's mobile phone suddenly rang. He lowered his head slightly, checked the message, then curved his lips and stood up saying, "Sorry, I have some matters to attend to, and will be excusing myself first."

Ariana hastily grabbed his hand, squinting at him to take her along.

If Lambert left, the "war" would focus on her.

Jolene saw Lambert was leaving and couldn't help but express unhappily, "It's rare for the in-laws to come over, where are you running off to?"

Lambert smiled and replied, "We need to negotiate again on the building materials cooperation for the new project. The other party rarely has time, it would be rude to refuse."

"It's fine, let him go. If he misses today, it might delay the work progress." Georgia said softly.

"Aren't we cooperating with the Lawrence family for building materials?" Khloe purposefully exposed this information.

Lambert explained, "Originally we were, but their pricing is a bit expensive and the new project is high-level. Even saving a little bit could be beneficial."

Hugh, who had been silent all along, slightly nodded and said, "It's a logical step."

Everyone knew how much Old Mr. Stone valued this project. This massive project requires substantial funding; the more saved, the better.

Khloe choked, showed an embarrassed expression, and didn't speak anymore.

Since it was work-related, bringing a companion was normal. Thus, they didn't comment when Lambert took Ariana away.

Once they stepped outside, Ariana let out a sigh of relief.

"It feels like dodging a death sentence. I don't know when this will end."
