Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 280

Speaking of Maxwell's birthday, Ariana thought of Lambert's birthday.

She sneaked a peek at the calendar, realizing it was less than a week away.

Lambert's birthday might be celebrated more simply this year. The Stone family hosted it in the past. Although Old Mr. Stone of the Stone family didn't fancy Lambert much, he was nonetheless the only son of the third son of the family. It would be impossible not to have any celebration lest outsiders make fun of it.

So, even if it was just for the facade, Lambert's birthday was always quite lively each year.

But this year...

Thinking about those bothersome affairs of the White family, Ariana rubbed her temples, deciding it was better not to tell her parents.

She would just celebrate it with Lambert.

But would Lambert feel disappointed? After all, it would be just the two of them. The desolate scene compared to before was indeed drastically different.

Thinking of this, Ariana discussed everything with her best friend, Allison.

In her tone, she was filled with frustration.

Allison was puzzled as she listened, she frowned and replied in confusion, "I don't understand what you're upset about... But if it were me, I tend to prefer a simpler birthday. Just invite some friends, then have some alone time in the evening. Isn't that quite perfect?"

Hearing this, Ariana shook her head with a bitter smile, "It's too monotonous."

Allison rubbed her forehead, "Oh, come on Ariana, you weren’t like this before. Where's that calm and decisive demeanor you used to display during press conferences? It's just a small birthday... Tsk, true enough, love blinds you and makes you foolish. Ah, plus a decrease in IQ."

Ariana shot Allison a look before deeply inhaling, revealing her concerns.

She just didn't want Lambert to feel lonely.

This would make her feel a bit guilty.

After all, his leaving the Stone family was all because of her.

Allison understood, "So after all is said and done, you always feel guilty towards Lambert? Tch, aren't you overthinking? In my eyes, what Lambert did was normal. Protecting his wife is a man's responsibility. It's no big deal that he left the Stone family for you. Besides, he might have wanted to leave a long time ago."

Ariana still didn't get it, just lying on the table with a sad look.

Seeing her like this, Allison couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, she couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

This was the first time she had seen Ariana so troubled. Even when she was with Vincent, she hadn't been like this. It seemed that she really liked Lambert. This was good, mutual love was better than a business marriage.

Upon this thought, Allison suddenly smiled. Just as she was about to speak, something came to her mind.

She suddenly stopped and her expression instantly became solemn.

She stared blankly at Ariana, and spoke in a low voice, "By the way, Ariana, have you heard about something?"

Ariana, "Hmm?"

Ariana seemed confused, "What does this have to do with the Stone family?"

Allison's smile suddenly froze. She stared at Ariana, bewildered, for a long while before she suddenly remembered that Ariana didn't know. So she patted her forehead silently and said, "Oh, I forgot you didn't know this. It's like this, I was extremely shocked when I heard this news too, you know! Who would have thought that Beverly had a secret relationship with Vincent?!"

Ariana felt a little dizzy, "... What?"

Allison smirked mysteriously, "Vincent had a car accident, right? And he's lost his ability to have children. To keep his position as the Thomas family's heir, he hastily claimed that the child in Beverly's belly was his! It was simply a stone that set off a thousand waves! At that time, it shook the entire city's upper class. The most significant thing is that the Stone family found out Beverly was really pregnant... Hahaha, it's merely a great show. I laughed my ass off. Those two deserve each other."

Ariana was a bit stupefied.

She had been preoccupied with company matters recently, and although she hadn’t completely cut herself off from outside news, she was indeed too busy to catch up on other information.

Looking at it now, Lambert must have been busy recently due to this situation.

After all, even though Lambert left the Stone family, he was still the only child of Hugh and Jolene and still bore the surname, Stone.

With such a huge incident in the Stone family, he couldn't remain uninvolved.

She guessed that her in-laws must have recently sought out Lambert.

However, this unexpected turn of events really took Ariana by surprise, as she hadn't imagined that Beverly and Vincent were still in contact with each other. When did those two start being together?

Allison cheerfully asked Ariana, "How does it feel?"

Ariana pulled a face. "… I don't feel much. But this matter is a big one. Why hadn't I heard a word about it?" It seemed impossible. Even though she was busy, it was unlikely that she wouldn't have received a shred of news, unless someone had been intentionally hiding it from her.
