Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 312

On the other side, ever since Lambert returned, Ariana's smiles clearly became more frequent.

Mr. and Mrs. White saw it and immediately felt much relieved.

Even Kiara was so happy that she had an extra bowl of rice.

Today, Ariana took Kiara out shopping to relax a bit. She had been running back and forth between the White and Lamari Corporations; so busy she could hardly breathe. Today, finally having a moment of leisure, she took Kiara out with her along with a currently downhearted Fanny.

Fanny was in quite a bad mood today. Even seeing her favorite clothes didn't muster up a single smile on her face.

On the other hand, Ariana's mood was quite good. Her smile didn't falter even when she was just idly chatting.

Fanny couldn't stand it anymore!

She looked at her friend dissatisfied and said, "Hey! I'm in a bad mood now. As my closest friend, aren't you supposed to at least pretend to be concerned? Who smiles all the time like this!"

Ariana shrugged, then blinked without sincerity: "Hmm, actually I also want to control it."

Fanny: "......"

Ariana spread her hands out, "But you know, I can't control it."

Fanny broke down: "Enough! You, the one who's always showing off her happiness! Stop shoving it in my face, I don't want it!"

Kiara watched as her sister and her friend interacted, her eyes blinking rapidly. She didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with curiosity. It was clear that she enjoyed the scene. When she was still in the orphanage as a child, she often saw sisters taking their younger siblings out to play with their friends.

The younger sister would play while her older sister engaged in a lively chat with her friends.

Even though the scene had been around for many years, she didn't mind.

On the contrary, she thoroughly enjoyed this rare warmth.

When Ariana saw her friend's distressed expression, she finally acted with some conscience and didn't continue to tease her. Instead, she helplessly asked, "So spill it, what's been bothering you today?"

Fanny glanced at Ariana and then with a dejected expression replied, "It's still that matter. It's been bothering me."

Ariana was lost.

She had forgotten which issue her friend Fanny was referring to.

There had been particularly a lot of things happening recently, and she could clearly feel that her brain was somewhat overwhelmed. Therefore, when Fanny mentioned 'that matter', her brain froze for a moment. 'That Matter' is... which matter...

Fanny, too, noticed her friend's baffled expression on her face, and was instantly furious: "You actually forgot!"

Ariana felt a bit guilty: "Um... I’ve not had the best memory recently."

Fanny glared: "Humph, don't think saying this will let you off the hook. You actually forgot the most confidential matter your friend told you!"

Ariana blinked appeasingly: "Alright, could you tell me again? Please understand that I've had so many things happening recently that it's understandable I might forget something."

Fanny wasn’t truly angry to begin with, so seeing Ariana’s placating expression, she let out a hmph and dropped the matter.

Then, she morosely sipped some juice and sniffed: "It's the matter I mentioned last time, about my family arranging a marital alliance for me."

As soon as Fanny said that, Ariana remembered it immediately.

She was astonished for a moment, then broke into a laugh: "Why? You haven't solved it even after so many days?"

Lambert noticed his wife looking at another man, and a flicker of displeasure crossed his face. So he subtly shifted his position to block her line of sight.

Of course, introductions were still necessary.

So he introduced him perfunctorily without any sincerity, saying, "This is Damon, the CEO of Castro Group."

Ariana immediately smiled at the man, saying, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Castro."

Damon replied in a plain tone, "Nice to meet you, Miss White."

Coldly, Lambert corrected, "This is my wife."

Damon glanced at him expressionlessly and corrected his address, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Stone."

Ariana twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "...Nice to meet you."

Then, Damon's gaze passed over Ariana and landed on Fanny, who had been silent behind her, glaring at him like a frustrated cat. His gaze twinkled momentarily, but he eventually settled down without showing any emotion.

After learning his identity, Ariana instantly recalled - wasn't this Damon the arranged marriage partner for Fanny?

With that in mind, her spirit was instantly revived, and she started to size him up.

She wanted to see his character and whether he would be a match for Fanny.

Although it was clear she couldn't discern anything at that moment, it didn't hurt to observe a little.

Just then, before Damon could react, Lambert, who had been watching his wife, noticed her eyes flickering towards Damon occasionally, which immediately triggered a sense of crisis in him.
