Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 17

"Tell my father for me that everything's okay. As for the media, it will blow over soon," she said.

Not only that, but they'll understand that this is not just a misunderstanding, but a plot.

When the time comes, even if Jane clears up the rumor about her having an abortion, it will still be hard to explain why everyone suspected it was Ariana, to begin with.

Vincent was surprised at the calmness in Ariana's voice, but replied gently nevertheless, "Alright, how about we grab dinner together after you're done with school?"

Ariana declined, "No, thanks."

Vincent, who hadn't expected the rejection, held his phone and his expression darkened. He couldn't help but feel that something was odd about Ariana recently. After all, she had never turned him down before.

When he was about to ask why, he heard Ariana's gentle voice say, "I know work has been busy for you lately, and you're already under a lot of stress."

Ariana realized that her blunt refusal had made Vincent suspicious of her so she had no choice but to hold back her disgust and quickly show sympathy for Vincent.

"Alright."

Hearing her sound as obedient as before, Vincent's heart softened.

"Deal, then. I'll drop by after I finish my work."

Jane could only guess that Vincent must have been upset with her, which, given her unstable state of mind, only made her more furious towards Ariana. Her hate for Ariana grew even stronger after seeing them behaving affectionately.

She clenched her fists so hard that her nails left deep marks on her palms. She suppressed her jealousy and watched helplessly as Ariana reveled in her happiness.

After Ariana hung up the phone, she feigned surprise and said, "Who would've thought that Vincent trusts me so much, right, Jane?"

Jane was taken aback. She managed to put on a smile and said, "Yes, indeed."

Ariana looked at Jane, who failed to hide her undeniably hideous expression even with a big smile. Patting her on the shoulder, she consoled, "Don't fuss, rest assured, the abortion thing is merely a rumor. You're not to blame."
