Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 301

Knowing the secret now, Stefan seemed to be more bothered than before.

Previously, he did not feel much of a crisis, but now he genuinely did.

Lambert Lambert wasn't the biological child of the Stone family. This could explain why he had been behaving the way he had recently and the cold attitude of the Stone family.

Now, he understood everything.

Stefan looked at Ariana, his gaze more complex than before. He softly said, "Thank you for telling me this. I'll keep it a secret. But right now, what's most important is how to save Lambert. Given that he has no blood relation to the Stone family, we can't rely on them."

If that's the case then they must rescue him as quickly as possible. The longer the delay, the higher the risk to Lambert.

Ariana understood as well.

And she never had high hopes for the Stone family from the start, so she didn't have the same despairing feeling Stefan had, of suddenly being completely on their own.

She tipped up her head to look at Stefan and said coldly, "So the most important thing now is to find evidence. I already have a lead, it's just a matter of time. Stefan, do you have any connections at the police station? Is it possible to delay the court date?"

At that, Stefan's face showed a hint of difficulty.

He did have contacts.

But they weren't strong contacts, and probably wouldn't be of much use. However, given his current sense of being backed into a corner, he had no choice but to clutch at straws.

So he nodded and said, "I'll find a way."

Ariana sighed with relief and said softly, "Great. I'm counting on you, then."

"No problem," Stefan replied. "Lambert is also my brother." Although he actually didn't have any plans in mind and his mind was blank at that moment. But he was a man, and he was Lambert's brother. How could he admit his weakness in front of his brother's wife? Even Ariana, a girl, could remain so calm in this situation.

If he acted flustered now, he would appear even less composed than a girl!

He needed to fake some grace even if he had to put on a front.

Ariana was not aware of what was going through Stefan's mind. Seeing his calm demeanor, she softened her smile and slightly relaxed.

Then, she returned to her computer desk and continued to scan through various emails.

Meanwhile, Stefan stood frozen on the spot for several seconds before gradually collecting himself. He looked at Ariana, his eyes filled with complex emotions. However, he didn't say anything, just simply gave her some instructions before leaving.

Every second was too precious to waste now.

He had to hasten his search for evidence or else Lambert would really be doomed this time.

...

The Lawrence family was behind this move.

The Lawrence family had discovered that this incident was indeed related to Lambert. Though they were initially furious, they didn't show any reaction. After all, they were unsure of the Stone family's stance. If the Stone family decided to protect Lambert, Beerly's pregnancy with another man's child could be treated as a compensatory act.

It could be considered as a mutual non-pursuit of the matter.

Regardless, this issue had come to light due to Lambert, indirectly implicating the Stone family as a whole.

As for the matter of Beverly bearing Vincent's child.

After hesitating for a moment, she forced a smile and brought the fruit to the coffee table, saying to her husband, "Have some fruit to calm down a bit, I see you haven't been eating much recently and you're looking a bit off. Everything else is secondary. Don't make yourself sick with anger."

Her voice was tender. Although she was already over forty, she still had a lingering charm.

Whenever she put on that pitiful and weak expression, she could still inadvertently make a man’s heart sway. When Mr. Lawrence saw his wife's cautious manner, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

In the end, he did not scold her, but his attitude wasn’t too good either.

Still, he picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite.

This could be considered as giving her face. A glimmer of light flashed in Mrs. Lawrence's eyes at this, and her mind was filled with numerous plans. She understood from her husband's expression that he was not blaming her anymore.

However, she had overlooked someone.

At that time, Ronaldo, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, was watching their interactions. A hint of irony flashed in his eyes.

Then, he casually said, "Aunt looks much better today. Is Beverly willing to eat now?"

His words made the flustered Mrs. Lawrence, who was preparing to persuade her husband further, freeze in her tracks.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lawrence's eyes were once again filled with irritation.

He scoffed and said, "After doing such a thing, she still has the gall to throw tantrums?"

Mrs. Lawrence secretly shot him a fierce look then hurriedly explained to her husband, "Beverly is just too self-blaming. She blamed herself for causing trouble to the Lawrence family this time and was punishing herself. It's not that she's intentionally refusing to eat out of temper."
