Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 157

Her expression was slightly restrained. She pointed to the problem that had come to light and demanded, "What's this?"

The foreman's face paled slightly. After thinking for a long time, he produced a plausible excuse, "I'm not quite sure about this. Why don't you ask them first in a little while?"

Ariana paused briefly before asking with a light smile, "Alright. By the way, I remember you were in charge of the wooden craftsmanship section, weren't you?"

The foreman replied, "Yes...Yes, that's right!"

She nodded slightly and said, "Good. Could you go and call the minister over for me?"

"Understood."

The foreman opened his mouth wanting to say something but eventually chose to stay silent. He then turned around and left to find the person in question.

Once he left, Ariana whispered to Conan, "You go first. Look into this foreman's background and so on."

"Understood."

At this moment, the foreman, who was supposed to be finding someone, had just thought of an excuse to avoid doing so, saying the minister wasn't available. However, he was taken aback to hear Ariana's conversation with Conan, and his face instantly turned white.

Once Conan had left, Ariana wanted to inspect the construction site herself. But she suddenly felt a chill down her spine and turned around, only to find a man wielding a wooden stick, poised to hit her.

With an astonished look on her face, she quickly dodged to the side, unintentionally falling onto a pile of bricks nearby.

"Hmm…"

Although Ariana reacted rather quickly, using her hand to brace her fall, the protruding grains of the bricks scratched her hand. In an instant, small beads of blood began to emerge from her pale palm.

The foreman didn't expect Ariana to be so agile. He gritted his teeth, clutching the wooden stick tightly, and lashed out at her viciously, yelling, "Witch! You can go to hell!"

Ariana's expression changed slightly as she swiftly picked up the brick in her hand and ruthlessly slammed it onto his foot.

The foreman cried out in pain. Ariana quickly snatched the stick from his hand and hit him with it harshly. She did not stop until he was lying motionless on the ground. It was then that Ariana, terrified, dropped what was in her hand.

Hearing the noise, Conan, who was outside, rushed in. Seeing Ariana's startled face and the foreman lying on the ground, he immediately understood what had happened.

He quickly stepped forward to steady Ariana, "Ms. White, are you alright?"

Seeing Conan, Ariana finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine!"

She felt like she had narrowly escaped death. She had almost thought she would fall into the hands of this foreman.

Just as Conan was about to pull out his phone to call the police and an ambulance, Ariana stopped him, "Summon a trusted doctor from Stone Group that Lambert trusts. This matter cannot be disclosed to outsiders!"

"But..."

Conan looked at Ariana in confusion. The foreman had just attempted to attack her out of embarrassment and anger.

Catching her breath, Ariana calmly said, "If the police are called now, the matter will blow out of proportion. It won't be easy to handle then!"

The reporters were closely monitoring everything related to this project. They wouldn't miss any hint of commotion.

This project jointly undertaken by the Stone Group and White Corporation was already a juicy opportunity for many businessmen. If a scandal surfaces now...

She paused momentarily, then instructed, "When the ambulance arrives, just say that the foreman accidentally fell and needs to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Conan replied, "I understand."
