Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 178

Ariana smiled lightly and said, "I'm not stupid."

Seeing how Finley could make the old man laugh heartily, she knew his methods were not ordinary.

Plus, even after what had happened, the old man showed disgust for his descendants fighting viciously for wealth. Yet, when he showed favoritism, he didn't hesitate in the least.

But that was fine, she didn't have to hold back either.

After all, when you're left scarred and worn out by others, still worrying about familial love isn't kindness, it's cruelty towards oneself!

A waiter passing by nearly tripped and spilled red wine on Lambert's coat.

The crimson wine quickly spread on the handmade suit, causing Lambert's brows to furrow slightly.

"I'm so sorry, I apologize!"

The waiter quickly apologized with fear.

Lambert's eyebrows knitted together but didn't make things hard for the waiter. He just stood up and told Ariana, "I'll go clean up."

She gave a slight nod, "Okay!"

After Lambert walked away, Ariana looked at the scared waiter and said helplessly, "You can go."

"Thank you!" The waiter was relieved and quickly left.

Just then, Ariana suddenly heard a familiar ringtone, froze for a second, and stood up to find the source of the noise.

Unexpectedly, she happened to see Griffin, who seemed flustered and wanted to shut off the ringing phone at the next table.

His slightly comical appearance was a bit at odds with his usual gentleness and elegance, which made Ariana find it somewhat funny.

Upon realizing that Ariana had noticed him, he was startled.

"You..."

Ariana said somewhat helplessly, "What on earth are you doing?"

"I... I was just..." Griffin stuttered, unable to find an excuse. After a while, he finally said, "I'm sorry."

She let out a sigh of resignation. "Griffin... I'm sorry... I understand your intentions, but I'm sorry. Please don't make the same mistake again."

Upon hearing Ariana's words, the smile gradually faded from Griffin's face.

"How... how did you know..." He had always thought Ariana hadn't figured it out but to his surprise...

She sighed helplessly again, "I'm married to Lambert, just as I told you yesterday."

Griffin paused and said, "I know what you mean. I may have been tracking you, but rest assured, I won't harm Lambert."

"I know," responded Ariana.

Griffin was not a bad person. She never doubted him because she knew he wouldn't do such things.

He smiled bitterly and said, "However, when it comes to matters of the heart, they can't be controlled, so..."

"I'm sorry."

That was the only thing Ariana could say right now.

Griffin shook his head slightly and said self-deprecatingly, "I am sorry for troubling you."

After saying this, he was about to leave, but he bumped into Lambert.

Lambert had taken off his red-stained coat, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of the remaining white shirt, revealing the skin hidden underneath, creating a somewhat sexy appeal.

He wrapped Ariana into his arms, his lips curling into a beautiful arch, “Since Mr. Meadows is here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
