Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 199

199 /630

Upon the mention of the past event, Vincent's face instantly turned pale with rage.

Never in a million years did Vincent think he would falter at the hands of Ariana. After all, the Ariana of the past was fully obedient to him.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Regardless, I haven't become as miserable as the one next to you. Moreover… Ariana, you always act like I've wronged you. But haven't you been involved with Lambert for some time?"

Ariana paused, laughed coldly, and said, "Vincent, it's hilarious that Jane is foolish enough to want to cling to an idiot like you. Do you know a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse?"

She has questioned herself, wondering why she had ever been attracted to such a hypocrite.

With Vincent's gentlemanly facade stripped away, simply glancing at him disgusted her.

Ariana's cold mocking laughter made Vincent feel humiliated. But, he couldn't just admit defeat and said, "Are you still spouting nonsense? Do you want to bluff and tell me that after Lambert left the Stone family, he's still the rich and powerful heir of the Stones?"

Upon hearing this, Lambert’s eyebrows slightly raised. Originally, he had no interest in Vincent, he wasn’t even a match for Ariana.

But now, it seemed like the jerk was deliberately standing before him, screaming aloud, 'Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!'

Lambert curled his lips, "I heard that the Thomas family just got a big order recently, but unfortunately is short of funds and applied for a loan from the bank. What if at this time… there was a disruption in the funds…"

Vincent's face slightly changed. Although he didn't know how Lambert knew about this, he didn't believe his words at all!

"How so? Don't trust me?"

Seeing the disbelief on Vincent's face, Lambert smirked, "Isn’t there a person named 'L' who signed consent to provide the loan from the bank in your loan agreement?"

Vincent paused upon hearing this, remembering that there indeed was such a signature in the contract at that time, "You… how did you know?"

Deep down, Vincent had implicit suspicion of the truth but still dared not believe it.

This loan was an opportunity he secured only after facing numerous rejections. Even though the interest rate was high, at least he could handle his urgent needs. Once the project was completed, he would inevitably make a fortune, enough to pay back the loan!

The loan agreement was signed just yesterday, and Lambert had long been expelled from the Stone family. Where could he possibly have obtained such a sum of money?

Such a large project requires considerably more funding!

“How can this be? Why would you agree if it was you?”

Lambert curled his lip, “Because there's profit! A twenty-four percent interest rate, why wouldn't I agree?”

“You—!”

Vincent was too infuriated to form words.

Listening to all this, Ariana at the side couldn't help but marvel. Lambert truly was a ruthless businessman! Even if he loathed the other party, he wouldn't be stingy as long as it benefited him.

Like before, he could easily entice several competing corporations of the Stone Group to collaborate.

Lambert chuckled ominously, taunting Vincent for his foolishness. “Look here, even if I am no longer the heir of the Stone family, I can still effortlessly control your company!”

“I don’t need your help!” Vincent was gritting his teeth with rage, wishing he could give Lambert a good bite!

Unfortunately, he couldn't!

Lambert replied indifferently, “Since the contract has been signed if you wish to breach it then pay the breach-of-contract penalty.”

Vincent was so angry, his face turned cherry-red and the veins on his forehead stood out threateningly.

“Lambert! You are truly despicable!”

Ariana looked at the man in front of her, his ugliness completely laid bare, and suddenly felt the urge to let out a sigh that could shake the heavens.

How had she blinded herself so much to have fallen for such a man in the first place?
