Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 297

Jokes aside, these matters must be attended to.

Stefan looked at the pile of documents, so frustrated he wanted to bash his head into a wall.

Just then, Assistant Hills came in carrying a stack of files. He glanced in surprise at Lambert who was finally in the office, then proceeded to deposit the documents onto Stefan's desk, saying, "President Stone, Vice President Morris, we just got a call from Nova Tech. They've canceled our prior contract. The penalty fee will be paid in full."

Stefan: "..."

Assistant Hills seemed to understand how exasperating this news was, so after delivering it, he didn't linger around, but said, "I'll go back to my work now."

Stefan glanced at him and then nodded.

Soon after, Assistant Hills quickly left the room.

Stefan rubbed his forehead quietly, mumbling, "What to do?"

Lambert responded indifferently, "What do you mean, 'What to do?'"

Annoyed, Stefan retorted, "What do you think? What are we going to do now? It looks like they're going hard on us. This was our last project, and now even this has been canceled. The company probably won't be able to survive, even if we have to pay a hefty penalty. All the hard work we did preparing for the IPO was for nothing. The opponent is pitiless, managing to eliminate so many projects. They're really going all out."

Lambert, still appearing unfazed, replied, "Hmm."

Stefan: "... Hmm my ass. What are we supposed to do now? Just wait for the company to go bankrupt?"

Turning his head to look at the flustered Stefan, Lambert flashed a sardonic smile. Then, he calmly said, "If it goes bankrupt, then we start over. Nothing to fear."

Stefan: "Screw your 'start over!' If the company goes bankrupt, my old man's going to kill me. Do you know what kind of guarantee I gave my father when I borrowed money to start this company? If anything goes wrong with the company, it's all over for me." Indeed, Stefan had made a military pledge with his father.

And the fact is, the company was doing well until then.

In just a few short months, it had already become one of the dark horses in the city.

The problem with new companies is that they do not have a stable foundation. That's why it can fall due to a small problem. And this time, evidently this company is also facing the same situation.

Although it's not as vexing as Stefan said.

The old man may just be a bit disappointed in him.

But he still couldn't swallow this result.

Lambert silently looked at him once then indifferently said, "It's okay. I've already transferred the funds."

Stefan: "......"

Lambert continued, "It's enough to start a new company; it's just a shifting of shell. I've moved the company abroad, the registration just got done today."

Stefan: "......"

Lambert looked up, his expression indifferent: "What do you want to say?"

Left at a loss for words, Stefan gazed at Lambert, then clicked his tongue and said: "Damn, I really admire you. When did you make this transfer? Why didn't I know?" Transferring company funds and establishing a new company is extremely hard. Even at the fastest speed, it would take at least a month.

So, there is no way that Lambert could have transferred it in just these few days.

Lambert slightly smiled, "I moved it when I decided to throw them a surprise counterattack."

Stefan: "......"

As for the Stone family... and the Lawrence family.

"Stone family wouldn't really go hard on Lambert, would they? After all, Lambert is one of their own. But just in case, if the old man really gets furious this time and disregards Lambert. Then, the Lawrence family could take their revenge on Lambert without any scruples. Thus, Lambert would be in danger.

Upon this thought, his brows lot into a frown.

He looked at Lambert seriously and said, "Should we try to find Ronaldo, to probe what the Lawrence family might do to you?"

Lambert shook his head. A hint of coldness flashed in his profound eyes, "Ronaldo won't meet us at this critical time, even if he does, we won't get much out of him. Although he is against the Lawrence family, I'm in a weak position now. If I collapse, our relationship will be exposed. It would be over for Ronaldo completely. He won't dig his own grave. The only possibility is that he won't help anyone, just sitting and waiting for the outcome."

Upon hearing this, Stefan silently cursed.

He then said coldly, "Then what should we do? This time it's just a car accident. What if next time they use some other means, you can't defend against them."

Though we live in a society ruled by law now, to those who truly hold power, this is their world.

Growing up in such a family, he naturally understood if a family with power wants to do something to someone, they have a thousand ways to do so, there's no escape.

Stefan was silent for a moment, then said, "Should you hide at your father-in-law's house for a while?"

Lambert shook his head. "I don't want to implicate others." Especially not to owe anyone any favors.

Even if it was his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

But it did remind Lambert. He looked up at Stefan and then carefully said one word at a time, "Please make sure to take extra care of Ari. You don't need to worry about me, I have my ways, I can only entrust you to take good care of my wife." After finishing, he furrowed his brows again and added, "Or, let your wife take care of her."

Stefan: "..."
