Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 311

Finley sat on the sofa, gazing at his father in deep confusion, and said, "Dad, what does grandpa mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, his father slowly shook his head, saying, "I don't know." His father's actions this time were indeed a bit strange. If the people outside knew about this, they might think that the old man finally couldn't bear it, so he decided to let Lambert go. But how could he not know what his own father was truly like?

His father was cold-blooded and ruthless, and in his heart, other than power and the reputation and future of the Stone family, there was almost nothing else.

Not to mention Lambert's complicated background.

He was genuinely puzzled about what the old man was trying to do...

He had been searching these past few days but couldn't figure out what made his father change his mind. He only knew that his mother had visited him before, and then the day before the trial, his father withdrew the case... So, was it his mother who had persuaded his father?

Thinking about this, his second uncle's brow furrowed even deeper.

He didn't think that was the case.

Since childhood, no one understood their parents' relationship better than the brothers. In the eyes of outsiders, they were an exemplary couple with a good relationship and mutual respect.

But in reality, apart from the term 'mutual respect' being somewhat accurate, nothing else was.

So, what persuaded the old man?

Finley saw his father in a daze, and he couldn't help but feel impatient. He frowned, saying, "Dad, once Lambert is out, we could have some troubles. He's not stupid, just by looking at the company, he would know we've tampered with his small company. Given his vengeful nature, he definitely won't let it go easily."

This statement hit exactly what his second uncle was most worried about.

If it were before, the relationship between him and his younger brother was considered good. Although not too close, at least there had been no conflict.

Just when Lambert was sent to prison, he assumed that the old man would end Lambert this time. He, too, instigated by his son, launched a plot against Lambert's small company to keep it from falling into his elder brother's hands. But who would have thought his little daughter-in-law, Ariana, would have some skills? Despite the many days of bitter struggle, they still did not take it down.

He originally intended to take a drastic measure.

To his surprise, the old man unexpectedly let Lambert out...

This was like trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. His enmity with his younger brother's family was definitely confirmed now.

At this time, Aster brought a cup of tea from the kitchen. She smiled and gave it to her husband then asked: "Honey, Mrs. Castro is coming over later. Do you want to meet her?"

Upon hearing his wife's question, the usually annoyed second uncle frowned and asked in confusion, "Mrs. Castro?"

Aster nodded with a smile.

Second Uncle said faintly, "Since she is Mrs. Castro, you can entertain her. Why would you want me to stay and meet her?" Such social interaction between wives was usually their business. What was he doing there? It was absurd.

Seeing the look on her husband's face, Aster knew he misunderstood. She quickly explained, "You forgot. I told you before that I found a perfect girl for our Finely."

Hearing this from his wife, Second Uncle seemed to recall something.

His father's face also turned sour. Nevertheless, he appeared to comprehend the potential implications behind his wife's suggestion, thus, despite his challenging facial expression, he didn't verbally reject the proposal outright. Instead, he seemed deep in thought.

Seeing her son look this way, Aster quickly glared at him and said, "What do you know? Although she is illegitimate, she has now been acknowledged! This acknowledgment implies that the Castro family has accepted her. If you can marry her, we will form a marriage alliance with the Castro family. Think about it, Arnold now has the backing of the Lawrence family, what do you have? Although the background of an illegitimate daughter is a bit inferior, she is still a daughter of the Castro family, so it can't be too bad. It’s better than marrying Beverly, the seemingly well-bred young lady from a rich family who cuckolded Arnold, right?"

Finley's face changed instantly.

He was about to argue back, but he saw his mother's eyes signaling him to shut up. Therefore, even though he was still somewhat unwilling to marry an illegitimate daughter, he kept quiet.

Seeing that her son was behaving, Aster quickly turned to persuade her husband, "Honey, what do you think?"

Her husband didn't speak.

After a long silence, he finally said slowly, "Take care of this matter yourself. Try to verify first whether the girl is really the daughter of the Castro family. If she is, observe the attitude of the current head of the Castro family and his wife towards her. If they seem to hold her in good esteem then make the decision."

Marriage alliances can be formed as long as families have daughters.

However, the effects of marrying into a family with a cherished daughter can be starkly different than marrying a neglected one.

If the Castro family didn't cherish this illegitimate daughter, then what’s the use of bringing her in?

Aster knew that her husband's words meant he had tacitly agreed. She immediately beamed with joy and repeatedly nodded, "Rest assured, how could I possibly harm our son?"
