Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 298

Stefan deeply felt that if Lambert weren't his childhood friend, he would genuinely want to throw a punch at him and sever their friendship!

In the following few days, although Stefan was somewhat irked, he still kept a close watch on Ariana, offering her excellent protection.

His reasoning was the fear of Lambert having worries behind him.

He knew a lucky guy like Lambert couldn't die easily, so as long as his Achilles' heel was safe, there was nothing to worry about.

But...

He obviously had overestimated Lambert.

On the fourth day, Lambert was caught. The reason was to steal someone else's technological achievement.

It was as bad an excuse as one could imagine.

Stefan knew well that this was the rhythm of the Stone family making their move. Or perhaps the Stone family no longer considered Lambert one of their own, hence why the Lawrence family sprang into action. Only the Lawrence or Stone family could throw Lambert into prison so swiftly! Stefan simply did not predict this move, hence he was momentarily stunned.

Lambert was taken by surprise as well; surprised that he actually made a miscalculation this time.

However, he still wore an indifferent smile. Even Stefan outside the detention center's visiting window with a desolate expression did not affect Lambert's mood.

To Lambert, this situation was actually nothing much.

He had anticipated this result once he made a slight error previously. There was no room for mistakes in such a high-level showdown. Yet, he made a mistake. Still, it was okay. It could serve as a lesson for him.

Moreover, it's not that he certainly can't get out.

He had a thousand ways to do it as long as he wished.

Outside, Stefan is still chattering, "Is there something you want to do? Or something else? If you need my help, just tell me." He knew that with the intelligence of his good friend, even if he fell into a terrible situation to the point of execution, he still could pull himself out.

That's why he asked this question.

Lambert fell silent for a while then he said lightly, "No. Take care of Ari."

Stefan frowned, "Really?" Immediately, he saw Lambert wink at him. This was their secret code from childhood when they played pranks. He immediately understood Lambert's meaning. Stefan finally understood why Lambert never said anything. He suddenly realized there could be surveillance within the Police Department.

Even if the Lawrence family isn't capable of such extensive infiltration as into the police station,

it's better to be safe than sorry.

As a result, Stefan was silent for a moment, then nodded to Lambert and said, "Alright, don't worry. Ari has me and Allison to look after her, you don't need to worry about her."

Lambert bowed his head slightly, "Then I'll leave it up to you."

Stefan stared at him speechlessly and said, "We're all brothers, why say such things? If there's nothing else, I will leave first and visit you next time."

Lambert curled his lips and just said okay.

Stefan glanced subtly at the camera again, then gave Lambert a meaningful look before turning and leaving.

......

Meanwhile, in the Stone household.

Hugh angrily looked at the well-dressed bodyguard before him, his face cold. After a long stare, he finally burst out, "I'm going in to see my father, tell him I have something urgent to discuss."

So this time, Hugh was visiting his mother.

Along the way, Hugh was in a rush. When he finally arrived at the old house, he didn't pause and went straight in, scaring the butler into a shock.

Fortunately, Madam Stone was arranging flowers and not sleeping at that moment, so she sent someone to see what was happening when she heard the commotion outside.

The maid quickly reported that it was the third Sir who had come.

A certain sparkle flashed in Madam Stone's eyes, but it turned into a sigh. She waved her hand and said, “Alright, let him in.”

Upon receiving permission, Hugh entered at the fastest speed.

Looking at her anxious youngest son, Madam Stone's eyes revealed a hint of amusement. She helplessly watched him and said, “What's the rush? Come in.” By all rights, she should not meet her youngest son. She clearly knew her husband's temper, knowing that no one could dissuade him from what he wanted to do.

Let alone her.

But as a mother, she couldn't bear to see her darling youngest son in desperation. So she let him in.

When Hugh saw his mother, his slightly reddened eyes instantly reddened further.

He walked over slowly and then cautiously sat across her. Then, he looked up hesitantly at his aged mother.

Madam Stone shook her head helplessly and said, “I know why you came today.”

Her words successfully made Hugh freeze for a moment. Upon seeing that his mother knew his purpose, he refrained from beating around the bush. He said, “Mom, I know I might have put you in a difficult position. But, can you help me this time? Lambert is my only son, I can't stand by and watch him get into trouble…”

Madam Stone sighed heavily and then gently said, “Hugh, I know you and Jolene have only one son. You two raised him yourselves. But this time, it's a huge matter. I don't want to see the current situation either. But, you know your father's temper. No one has ever been able to change his mind and decisions.”
