Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 294

"You're worried that Mom and Dad will give me a hard time, so you mentioned that it is actually your problem," Jolene's eyes welled up with tears, but she steadfastly stared at the silent Hugh.

In her eyes, there was self-loathing and admiration for Hugh who always endured and even put up with misunderstanding that he had health problems. Also, there was a sense of guilt that contributed to this misunderstanding. But what overwhelmed her were contradictions.

Because, if it weren't for her, maybe Lambert wouldn't be the way he is.

He was supposed to be the legitimate third young master of the Stone family. Instead, he had to live a cautious and rejected life since the age of eight.

Hugh remained silent.

He looked at Jolene for a while before slowly saying, "Yes. Lambert is my biological son. At the time, I thought that if I adopted an orphan and if it was discovered, my secret wouldn't be safe. Our parents would definitely force us to divorce. That's why I did IVF, which led to Lambert. I thought even if something happened, Lambert would still be my son with the right bloodline. Who would have thought that the first and second generations of my family would bring out the infertility proof from back then? So, I could do nothing else but confess. Otherwise, Father would definitely force us to divorce."

After saying this, Hugh slowly approached and gently hugged his trembling wife, his voice choked up, "In my heart, you were always the most important."

At this moment, tears rushed down from Jolene's eyes.

They moistened Hugh's shoulder.

Hugh tightly hugged his wife, and Jolene wrapped her arms around her husband's body.

She sniffed a little and then rasped, "I know. I know that everything you did was for me. I understand your concern for my difficult situation, but Hugh, if you keep hiding, the old man might really harm Lambert. Over these years, he has not only been your son but has completely become my son too. I can't just watch him get hurt, get bullied and tricked. I really can't stand it. Hugh, do you know what I thought when I learned about Lambert's car accident? I would rather it were me."

Hugh replied in a low, strained voice, "But if we tell Father about this, you might be blamed. And it could make our lives difficult in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jolene slowly smiled and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, I have you and Lambert. I'm already very fortunate."

Hugh remained silent.

With a soft sigh, Jolene nuzzled against Hugh's shoulder and said, "Go ahead, don't make me worry anymore. I don't want to see our son get hurt anymore."

Hugh slowly turned to look at Jolene, meeting the lukewarm gaze of his wife, his voice low, "Okay."

…

Meanwhile, at this moment, the eldest uncle was heading toward the main mansion.

Once he entered, he didn't even deign to acknowledge the butler's greeting and proceeded directly to his father's study.

Coincidentally, Old Mr. Stone was also in the study at the moment.

He was calmly brewing tea. Though he appeared relaxed, the cold aura surrounding him indicated that his mood was anything but.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from outside the study.

The visitor seemed urgent, knocking without any rhythm. This made Old Mr. Stone's eyebrows furrow.

The old man's dislike towards his eldest son grew deeper.

A peculiar cold sneer was shading his cloudy eyes. Then, he slowly said, “There's no need to rush this matter. This time, I will teach him a lesson.”

There were countless times when Old Mr. Stone had held back his anger in the past.

In fact, numerous times in the past he could have directly kicked out his grandson, but for some unknown reason, he did not. leading to this kid getting the upper hand twice. But this time it was different. Since he dared to lay his hands on a member of the Stone family, he should be prepared to face the consequences.

It's just unfortunate that Lambert was not a child of the Stone family.

If he were his own grandson, he would not only avoid blaming him for his actions but he would also feel proud and excited. In his view, only such a person could shoulder the responsibilities of the entire Stone family.

He should be cruel when it's called for, and toxic when needed.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t. Not only was he not, he was also a menace to the Stone family at any given time.

Therefore, he should dispose of this menace as soon as possible. Or else, with the incompetence of his two good-for-nothing grandsons, they might end up being killed by the illegitimate child, Lambert.

If that were the case, he'd better dispose of this troublemaker while he's still alive to avoid posing a threat to the Stone family.

The eldest uncle, who was a bit cautious at first, was immediately relieved when he heard this. Since Old Mr. Stone was going to take action, it was likely that death would be waiting for Lambert. Thinking of this, he finally found some equilibrium in his heart and vented some of the anger he had been harboring lately due to the many pointing fingers for his troublesome son and undisciplined daughter-in-law!
