'Moreover, before the matter gets more complicated, she doesn't want to hurt him,' she thought to herself.

Lambert slightly raised his eyebrows, saying nothing more.

...

The impact of Finley's appearance was greater than what Ariana had imagined.

Upon becoming the company's Vice President, enjoying the same position as Lambert, his amicable and approachable demeanor quickly earned him a good reputation. He performed exceptionally well during the meetings, further solidifying his position in the company.

Ariana was slightly annoyed as she watched Finley occupy the seat that originally belonged to Lambert.

Seeing a hint of coolness in Ariana's gaze, Finley smiled faintly and asked, "I wonder, sister-in-law, do you have any opinions about my plan?"

She snapped back into reality, replying indifferently: "None."

Beverly laughed lightly, feigning jest, "Brother Finely, perhaps she was simply lost in thought!"

The executives present in the meeting displayed subtle changes in their expressions. Everyone knew that with Lambert resting, Finley assuming the role of vice-president, and temporarily taking over his work, it was only normal for Ariana, his wife, to be a bit emotional.

However, such reactions would somewhat lead outsiders to perceive her as irrational.

Ariana threw Beverly a cold glance, thinking this woman seemed to love trouble.

She hadn't even settled scores with her for yesterday's issue, now, she was asking again to be rebuked.

With a light voice, she said, "Miss Lawrence, it appears you enjoy stirring up trouble. Or is it because you're still sore from my scolding yesterday, that after I scolded you this time, you're planning to run to the media again for a fair judgment?"

Upon hearing the words, everyone immediately couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Truth be told, they sometimes also found Beverly overly childish, but no one was as blunt as Ariana in stating that out loud.

"You!"

Beverly was so angry that she momentarily didn't know what to say. Then, Finley spoke up timely, "That's enough, you two. Let's adjourn the meeting and keep things harmonious."

Ariana was too indifferent to bother with her and quickly gathered her things, stood up, and left.

She stepped into the elevator and was about to close the door when she noticed Finley entering.

Despite not being particularly fond of Finley, she considered the potential scandal and the gossiping that the journalists would add to fuel the fire if she avoided sharing the elevator with him and got spotted by the employees.

Upon entering the elevator, Finley said with a faint smile, "Ninety-second floor, thank you."

Unemotional, Ariana pressed the button for his desired floor. After the elevator doors closed, she instinctively moved to the side, keeping her guard up against Finley.

He could sense Ariana's wariness of him and he looked her up and down.

Just then, the elevator lights suddenly began to flicker with a clicking sound.

"Crack!"

The elevator came to a sudden halt and jolted downwards all at once.

Ariana scared stiff, hurriedly pressed all the floor buttons in a flurry!

Watching Ariana, who seemed a bit frightened, Finley lightly laughed and asked, "You seem very scared!"

Looking at the overly collected Finley. She said coldly, “If you wish to die, then go ahead! But I don't want to!”

Finley choked a little at her words, then laughed, “Quite sharp-tongued! Lambert didn't like this type of woman in the past!”

Ariana found the topic too odd and didn't want to continue the conversation with him.

At that moment, the elevator fell again. Ariana almost stumbled but was steadied by Finley standing beside her.
