Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 185

His blunt words made Griffin, who seldom argued with others, instantly grimace.

"Lambert, the contract is already signed. Do you think you can change it by yourself? Don't forget you're just a subordinate," Griffin retorted rudely.

Or rather, he didn't want to be polite to Lambert at all. Before, he had always acted subordinately in front of him out of respect for Ariana.

But now that he has seen the true colors of Lambert, he only wants to rescue Ariana from his grips and naturally is not willing to accord him any courtesy.

The air around them seemed to freeze. Ariana glanced at the two people glaring at each other and said to Lambert with a headache, "Enough, we can talk about the contract later, Lambert. I need to talk to you about something. Let's go."

She didn't want the situation to escalate. Lambert was impulsive and Griffin's words carried weight. Just by Lambert’s say-so, the termination of the contract was not yet decided.

After saying that Ariana took Lambert's arm, ready to leave.

Lambert understood Ariana's intentions but still turned back and gave Griffin a warning look. In the future, if Griffin dared to covet Ariana again, he would not let it go as he had today.

Ariana and Lambert got back into the car. Just as she was about to speak to explain the incident, she saw Lambert take out his phone to dial Assistant Hills's number.

Ariana was shocked and promptly snatched his phone, "Hey! What are you doing?"

"Give it back! Don’t tell me you also think I was joking earlier!" Lambert's face was serious, signaling that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

"Do you really want to terminate the contract with Griffin? Your Grandfather will surely be mad at you when he finds out.” Ariana tried to dissuade him gently.

Lambert's face darkened even more, "Ariana, are you so keen on Griffin not terminating the contract with the Stone Group?"

“I'm saying it for your sake!” Ariana got angry at the misunderstanding, why didn't he trust her?

"Ariana, you should steer clear of this matter and don't associate with Griffin in the future!" Lambert abruptly snatched the phone from Ariana's hand and dialed Assistant Hills's number.

After the call was connected, Lambert asked him to prepare to terminate the contract with HCT Financial Company. Ariana felt frustration building up within her, but decided to let him do as he pleased.

In the evening, as soon as the two stepped through the front door, they were immediately greeted by the sight of Finley.

Upon seeing him, Ariana’s expression shifted slightly. She almost forgot that today was Finley’s discharge date from the hospital.

Completely ignoring Ariana, Finley broke into a smile as soon as he saw Lambert. "Lambert, I heard you suddenly want to terminate the contract with Griffin. I wonder why that is?"

"What else could it be for, if not for love?" Aster sat on the sofa and shot a mocking glance at Ariana.

Khloe walked over from the kitchen with a fruit plate and sat beside Aster. She scorned, "Some people don’t even support their husbands after getting married. Instead, they create trouble and attract all sorts of dubious men."

Not only was Ariana insulted, but also Griffin. Just as Ariana was about to retort, she heard Finley laughing, "Auntie, don't be too harsh. Griffin is a gentleman."
