Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 281

But... that should be impossible.

What benefit could there be in hiding this from her?

Before Ariana could ponder too long, her beloved friend clarified it for her.

She blinked, with a helpless expression, "Did you forget, Ariana? My maternal grandfather's family has been a medical family for generations~"

Ariana: "..." Honestly speaking, if not for Allison reminding her, she would have totally forgotten about that. Allison's maternal grandfather's family had been a medical family for four generations and held significant influence in the city. From renowned researchers to numerous medical practitioners, nearly all had ties to Allison's maternal family.

That was one of the delicate reasons for the standing of Allison's maternal family in high society.

Firstly, the family indeed had a strong foundation.

Secondly, the household had produced quite a number of famous doctors. Who could say when others would need their help? So, no matter how much the other great families conspired against each other, they always treated Allison's maternal family with respect.

Thus, it all made sense that such information reached Allison first.

After pondering for a long while, Ariana finally said, "Then how did this news leak out? It's not possible for the issue of Vincent losing his fertility to be unhidden. Even if he was afraid his position as the heir would be threatened, he should have secretly sought Beverly. After all, spreading such news so openly isn't a normal way of doing things."

Indeed.

Typically, if something like this were to occur, one would try to hide it.

Who would ever disclose it without care?

Even if he sought to rely on the child within Beverly's belly to secure his position, he had to do it discreetly. Even deceiving one child for another would be better. After all, Beverly wasn't merely the heiress of the Lawrence family; she was also the lawfully wedded wife of the eldest grandson of the Stone family, Arnold.

Once this got out of hand, the situation would be impossible to control.

Allison snickered, "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, word about this somehow ended up getting out. Pretty much all the city's prestigious families know about this incident. I fear they won't be able to take this matter lightly anymore. "

Ariana remained silent for a long while, then slowly stood up, deep in thought. "I'll head back first, wait here for a while. You can leave once Stefan comes to pick you up."

Allison blinked, "Where are you going?"

Ariana replied, "To Lambert's company. Just wait here patiently, alright?"

Allison rolls her eyes at Ariana, somewhat speechless over her reminder. These days, everyone has been treating her like a delicate doll. It felt wonderful at first but became somewhat monotonous after some time.

However, she didn't want her friend to worry, so she replied feebly, "Alright, alright, I'll wait here. You may go, don't worry about me~"

Ariana nodded, still concerned, and reasserted her instruction before finally leaving.

Allison watched Ariana's retreating figure, feeling somewhat amused yet helpless.

At the same time, she looked down at her large belly, wondering helplessly when the little one inside would decide to come out... she was utterly bored these past few days.

Ouch~~

...

Logically speaking, even though this incident could be considered a massive scandal for the Stone family, its impact on Lambert was relatively minimal.

It was even negligible.

He was sure to have countless admirers.

How could a boss of such status not have a few lovers by his side? Especially when they had idle chats, they even heard that Mr. Stone had many lovers before.

He was well-known throughout the city.

So, naturally, she identified Ariana as his lover.

It was at this time that Ariana's lunch box finally arrived.

Ariana accepted the lunchbox with a smile and was about to head to the elevator inside. The receptionist quickly stopped her, smiling faintly: "I'm sorry, you can't enter without an appointment. Please cooperate, madam." If she had doubts before, now she was pretty sure.

This must be one of Mr. Stone's old lovers.

She even brought a lunchbox.

She must be here to show her attentiveness, just like the one last time! Although she felt a bit of disdain and faint jealousy in her heart, she maintained her polite demeanor on the surface. After all, no one knew what kind of attitude Mr. Stone had towards this lover, what if he was especially fond of her? What if she was fired because of her own wrong attitude?

Scenarios like this often happen on TV. She would not be so foolish.

Ariana gave a slight chuckle as she looked at the receptionist blocking her way. Of course, she would not get angry, after all, it was the other party's duty.

So, Ariana tilted her head and asked, "Can I make a call?"

The receptionist became even more certain that the woman in front of her was Mr. Stone's lover, so her laugh became ever so cautious. She gently said, "Okay. Don't be angry, this is my job. I hope it has not upset you." The latter sentence was obviously added quickly out of fear of angering Ariana.

Ariana smiled even more helplessly. She nodded: "I understand." After that, she prepared to call Lambert.
