"Fine, you think you're all grown up, right? Now that you're a man, do you think your word is as good as a bond? Go ahead, you might as well never come back! Don't even bother visiting me. Even if I die, it will have nothing to do with you!" If the old man weren't lying on his sick bed, he'd probably pick something up and throw it at him.
Lambert began to leave, but when he got to the door, he still paused.
A glint appeared in the old man's eyes. "This rascal, he's just talking big, he's bound to regret it now."
"Grandfather, I won't be able to visit you anymore, take care of yourself." With these words, Lambert pushed the door open and left.
The old man was so angry that he nearly sat up from the bed. However, after Lambert really left, he stared at the closed door and sighed deeply.
"He's as stubborn as I was when I was young," he muttered.
After leaving the sick room, Lambert told his mother to take good care of the old man before leaving with Ariana.
"What did the old man tell you?" Ariana asked out of curiosity.
Lambert casually replied, "Nothing much, just that when he dies, it will have nothing to do with me."
Seeing Lambert's seriousness when he said this, Ariana couldn't help but giggle.
"Why are you laughing?" Lambert asked, intrigued.
Ariana explained, "I bet he told you to return to the Stone Group, and you got him angry again, right?"
She knew a thing or two about the old man's temper.
At this point, Ariana's phone suddenly began to ring. She saw that it was Griffin calling and hesitated, but still answered.
Unexpectedly, Griffin wanted to meet up with Ariana out of the blue.
Ariana suspected that Griffin might be being used by Finley, so she agreed and planned to persuade him again.
Unexpectedly, Griffin called her out to confess his feelings!
Ariana was doubtful of his sudden confession and decidedly rejected him, leaving straightforwardly.
...
After looking at the photos, Beverly curled her lips satisfactorily, "Good job! Keep tracking Ariana and try to capture more!"
She handed a packet of money to the journalist. Upon seeing the substantial cash inside, the journalist hastily accepted it, grinning from ear to ear. "Absolutely!" He exclaimed.
Beverly nodded faintly, "Please leave first and don't get noticed."
"Understood!"
Having taken the envelope, the journalist left nonchalantly.
Beverly subtly looked at the envelope in her hand, a gleam of cold light flashing in her eyes. She didn't believe Ariana could still stay smug once these photos were released!
Just as she collected the things and was about to stand up, she accidentally bumped into Lambert, a man in a black suit. He was sitting across her with a faint smile and a meaningful look.
"Lam...Lambert?"
Beverly's grip on her purse tightened nervously. She was so delighted previously that she didn't notice Lambert was nearby.
Lambert gracefully settled down and glanced at the seat she was just at, saying casually but determinedly, "Sit first."
