Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 295

When the eldest uncle returned to the main house's villa, he saw Arnold, his son, rushing towards him with a worried expression as soon as he walked into the living room.

"Father, what did Grandfather say?" Arnold gazed at his father and asked.

The eldest uncle glanced at his son and sighed before speaking, "There's no need for you to worry about this matter. Of course, Grandfather won’t let that bastard Lambert off the hook. But as for you, Grandfather and I have discussed it; no matter what, this event has already happened. You'll have to put up with Beverly for now and try not to stir up any more trouble. There can't be any mishaps in this marriage alliance."

Arnold's expression darkened even more upon hearing his father's words.

Turning pale and then green, he clenched his teeth before he finally managed to utter, "So I'm just meant to resign myself to this humiliation?" Every time he went out, he would be subject to people's ridicule. Even though no one would say it to his face, the meaningful glances were enough to make his veins pop out of frustration.

He had become the laughingstock of the circle.

Even the illegitimate children of other distinguished families that he normally looked down upon dared to mock him.

And it was always hard for him to find a counterargument, considering the whole thing was indeed true! Now, the mere thought of Beverly made him want to strangle her. Was he expected to get along well with her? Was this some kind of a joke?

Arnold's father was also sick of this kind of daughter-in-law, but what could he do? After all, the old man had spoken.

Furthermore...

He also felt that the old man's words made sense. After going through all of this, the Lawrence Corporation would certainly feel guilty, at least regretful. As compensation, the old man gave Arnold the latest land development project. So, strictly speaking, they're not really at a loss in this episode.

For Arnold's father, nothing was more important than profits.

So, after hearing his father's analysis, Arnold widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at his father, and yelled, "So now I just have to put up with the gossip outside? Let everyone ridicule me about being a moment away from playing daddy?"

The eldest uncle frowned, "Arnold."

Ignoring his father's reproach, Arnold continued venting, "Do you know, Father? Now, whenever I go to discuss projects, people from the other companies smirk when they see me. Although nothing is said directly, I'm sure they’re laughing at me! They are mocking that the future successor of the Stone Corporation is in such a mess! Even Finely's family is making fun of me!"

He had pressed that bastard, Finely, after getting stronger with this marriage alliance. Now, the tables had been turned due to this incident.

All this time, Finely has been flaunting in front of Arnold.

He even had the nerve to laugh and say, "Luckily I didn't marry Beverly. After all, with great benefits come great responsibilities, don't they?"

Arnold was so angry that he almost punched Finley!

Luckily, he still managed to keep his sanity.

But even so, he really couldn't take it anymore. Beverly, that shameless woman! He never thought that she would cuckold me! And the other guy was nothing but a son of a minor corporation. This was like a slap in Arnold's face, telling everyone that he, Arnold, was inferior to the playboy son of a minor corporation!

Seeing Arnold's doubtful expression, his father paused for a moment and then said, "Alright, there's no harm in telling you now."

Arnold's heart was slightly moved, "What is it?" He had a hunch that his dad was going to reveal something significant.

Indeed, his father didn't let his anticipation down. The uncle looked at his son with a slight smile, then said word by word, "In fact, Lambert isn't the legitimate son of the third uncle."

Arnold, "Really?" He stared in disbelief.

His uncle sneered, "Of course, it's true."

Arnold took a deep breath. He looked at his father for a long time, then still somewhat uncertain, asked, "How is this possible? Lambert is not the third uncle's biological son. What exactly is going on?"

His father smirked, then went on to unfold the story of the past, including the fact that the third uncle was infertile.

After hearing this, Arnold was utterly shocked.

He was stunned for a long time, then slowly said, "So, this information is true?"

The uncle looked at his son speechlessly, then added, "Of course it's true. The third uncle wouldn't lie about what men value the most - his fertility. Since he's infertile, Lambert is absolutely not a child of the Stone family."
