Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 189

189 /630

The Lawrence family had only recently gained prominence, but due to a recent incident, their reputation had worsened instead.

Old Mr. Stone was furious about it, especially since the Stone family had some cooperation with the Lawrence family, which meant the Stone Group was also affected to some extent.

Ariana had just returned home from preparing for school when she heard Old Mr. Stone berating Lambert in his study.

Jolene was anxiously waiting downstairs. Seeing Ariana, she quickly approached and asked, "Ari, do you know anything about Beverly's situation? Does it have anything to do with Lambert?"

She paused momentarily. Of course, she had heard about Beverly's situation and it was safe to say that Lambert had played a vicious hand!

Ariana calmly consoled, "Mom, don't worry, everything will be alright."

Jolene looked worriedly towards the study and said, "How could I not worry? You know how much importance the Dad places on the Lawrence family. Lambert has been up there for so long and still hasn't come down. I have no idea what's going on."

"Why don't I go up and check?" Ariana assured her seeing how worried she was.

She hesitated. With Old Mr. Stone currently furious, Jolene was afraid that it might backfire on her daughter-in-law.

Ariana proposed, "It's alright, I'll just go and take a look!"

After some hesitation, Jolene finally agreed, "Alright, then."

She ascended the stairs and had barely approached the study when she heard Old Mr. Stone angrily questioning, "Tell me, did you do this or not?"

Lambert's lazy yet pleasing voice echoed, "If Grandfather thinks me to be responsible, then that's the case!"

Infuriated, Old Mr. Stone roared, "What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you didn't do it, otherwise, how could things have coincidentally turned out this way?"

He smirked, "Why doesn't Grandpa think that there might be something wrong with Beverly herself?"

Lambert's words pierced Old Mr. Stone's heart like a sword of hesitation; indeed, if Beverly hadn't gone to the Charm Night establishment, the reporters wouldn't have had the chance to take her pictures.

And this recent headline news, actually made Old Mr. Stone somewhat incredulous, after all, Beverly had always been very obedient in his eyes.

Old Mr. Stone was left speechless, after a long pause, he stammered, "You... are you talking back to me?"

"Grandpa, you're being unreasonable!"

At this moment, Ariana came forward from behind the door.

"Ariana? How come you're here?"

Seeing Ariana suddenly appear, Old Mr. Stone's anger flared even more!

Lambert at his side watched Ariana speak up for him, his gorgeous eyes slightly narrowing.

Upon seeing this, Ariana said, “I heard that Grandpa is having another fit, so I came up to see!”

"What nonsense! If you all behaved properly, why would I be angry?"

Old Mr. Stone’s face dropped as he heard the "another" in Ariana's statement.

Ariana continued, "Lambert is right, if Beverly hadn't behaved disgracefully, how would such a thing be discovered? Someone is telling you the reason, but you accuse them of talking back, that's just unreasonable!"

“You…!”

Old Mr. Stone's face turned scarlet with embarrassment and anger, nearly fuming, "Get out, just get out!"

He now felt that Lambert married Ariana just to drive him mad together so they could inherit his property.

Lambert said, "Given Beverly's current situation, it's impossible for her to take over the project, so I hope Grandpa can make a decision as soon as possible."
