"Waste!" A single snort, makes the room temperature drop to the freezing point.

"Sir, I will investigate this as soon as possible," the man bowed and said respectfully.

"This time I'll let you off, that kid thinks he's grown up now, probably feels like he can fly on his own wings. With that tiny achievement, he tries to overlook the Stone family, I'd like to show him what he truly is without this family." Old Mr. Stone spoke coldly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Sir, perhaps he was just being impulsive. He's always been a respectful child." The butler at the side looked hesitant as he spoke.

"Hmph, I wouldn't be here now if he was respectful. The boy's current business outside must have been made by relying on allowances from the Stone family. Essentially, he’s still leaning on our family.

I would like to see what he would say about his tough attitude back then. Bring that lad to me and convey our findings to him. Let's see if he dares to keep his appointment." A trace of frost swept across the Old Mr. Stone's face.

The man hesitated, "But...will he..."

Old Mr. Stone knew what he was worried about and scoffed, "Ultimately, it is a matter of the Stone family, regardless of what the White family is doing, they couldn't possibly interfere."

"Yes!"

...

After parting ways with Griffin, Ariana was still angry over his obstinacy.

Just as she stepped into her home, she threw her bag angrily on the sofa. Lambert followed close behind.

"What's got you in such a bad mood?"

Upon hearing Lambert’s voice, Ariana stopped, turned to look at him, and saw Lambert, dressed in an understated black suit, raising an eyebrow at her.

She glanced at her watch and found out it was just past four. Surprised, she asked, "Why did you get off work so early today?"

Lambert thought about the events that had occurred today, pursing his lips slightly, he said, "It's because I've learned something."

Then he placed the photo he obtained from Beverly in front of her.

Ariana saw the photo and found all the pictures were of her and Griffin. Moreover, some shots were taken at angles that made them appear unduly intimate!

Her hand trembled slightly as she held the photo, gritting her teeth, she asked, "Who gave this to you?"

Ariana had always found it strange that Griffin suddenly confessed his feelings to her. Seeing these photos only added to her doubts.

Lambert said, "It was Beverly."

Upon hearing this, Ariana was filled with a sense of betrayal.

Lambert took the photo from her hand, gently saying, "I know why you're wary of Griffin. Even though he probably did all this due to his feelings for you. But, don't forget, when he's being manipulated unknowingly, you should know how to protect yourself."

Ariana fell deep into thought, and after a long silence, she said, "I'm sorry."

It was her carelessness that had led her into someone else's trap. If it weren't for Lambert, she might have fallen into more trouble.

After all, she was aware of the raised eyebrows caused by her involvement with Lambert. If anyone were to pick on this incident, then...

Lambert spoke gently, "No need to apologize, but, Beverly might not let this matter drop just yet. You still need to be careful."

She understood Lambert's worry. He was only concerned that she might be exploited due to her connection with Griffin.

Ariana seemed a bit downcast, she quietly said, "I've already laid everything out in the open with Griffin."

Therefore, there was nothing left to worry about.
