Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 337

"Was that young man we just met the illegitimate son of Eldest Uncle?" Ariana asked Lambert who was in the car with her.

"Perhaps." Lambert responded indifferently.

Indeed, it didn't matter to him whether the young man was or wasn't his great uncle's illegitimate son. It did not have any significant meaning to him, unless one day, that boy could really become a part of the Stone family. That situation would certainly change Lambert's perspective.

After all, their status was delicate and greatly connected with the next heir of the family.

In their current situation, even if you didn’t strive for it, others would think you are. After all, the Stone family wasn't very prosperous.

Each family only had one legitimate son.

So, it wasn't easy to determine who the heir should be. But if this young man could join the Stone family, then the scenario would definitely change.

Ariana nodded, and she didn't ask anymore. She just felt a faint sympathy for that young man. Part of her complicated feelings arose because she was reminded of her past life. That boy's gaze made her recall her helpless past when she was harmed by Jane and Vincent.

That's why she felt pity, got off the car, and gave that young man a jacket and a card.

Of course, Ariana would still do so even without those feelings. After all, it was Lambert who bumped into the person. Besides, that person was still a teenager. If she didn't offer any indication of goodwill, it would be quite unreasonable.

Lambert glanced sideways at Ariana, who seemed to be deep in thought, then said with a touch of helplessness: "Stop troubling your mind. We are almost there. There might not be many people tonight, but they'll all be there. Be careful and avoid getting hurt." His words indicated a warning towards Beverly.

In fact, Lambert was very aware of how unintelligent Beverly was.

Not just unintelligent, but she was also extremely foolish.

That was why he warned Ariana to be careful. Intelligent people know what to do and what not to do at any given time. Beverly, however, obviously didn't understand such concepts.

People wouldn't make a scene in such a setting.

Beverly's intellect might not be up to par.

Ariana understood the meaning of Lambert's words, and couldn't help but smile. She blinked her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I know."

…

Back then, in front of the bustling main mansion hall, nearly all of the direct descendants of the Stone family had arrived.

Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and Lambert's father, Hugh, were there, exchanging pleasantries with laughter. They might not be like this in private, but they couldn't display anything else on the surface. After all, Old Mr. Stone was there.

And Jolene naturally found herself with Khloe and Aster.

However, this time was different.

Khloe's gaze towards Jolene was particularly cold.

Apparently, she was still holding a grudge over the incident with Lambert. Coupled with Ariana's pregnancy news and Old Mr. Stone’s use of this to knock on their house, this made her resentment towards Jolene's family was greater. Since today was the New Year's Day, she couldn't show anything. She just intentionally chatted with Aster during the talk to snub Jolene.

It was fairly possible to make her feel embarrassed.

On the other side of the room, Hugh was watching as the time slowly passing and when Lambert and his wife were still nowhere to be seen, he was about to give them a call. At that moment, Lambert finally appeared, gently holding Ariana's waist, and they slowly made their way forward.

Jolene's eyes lit up as soon as she saw her daughter-in-law.

She quickly went up to meet them.

After taking a good look, she said somewhat dissatisfiedly to Lambert, "Why is Ari's face so red? Is she cold?"

Lambert helplessly said, "She's hot."

Ariana's face instantly turned even redder. She cleared her throat then said to the others who were also looking at them, "I'm so sorry, the roads were slippery because of the snow today, so Lambert had to drive slower. Thank you for waiting."

At this point, their second uncle came forward with a smile, "It's alright for Lambert to drive slower since you're carrying a child. It's fine as long as everyone is here." Then, he turned to his wife and said, "Aster, go upstairs and tell Dad that Lambert and Ariana are here, and ask if he wants to start dinner now."

Aster nodded with a smile, then headed upstairs.

Elder uncle watched, eyes wide, as the words he should have said were stolen by his second brother, his expression instantly turning pale.

However, considering everyone was present, he couldn't say much.

But the second brother had already extended his hospitality. If he, as the elder uncle, didn't say anything, it would certainly be inappropriate. Therefore, despite his current distaste for Lambert, he slowly stepped forward and cheerfully said, "Indeed, your second uncle is right. Well, Ariana is pregnant and shouldn't stand for too long, let Lambert help her sit for a while."

Lambert casually glanced at his varying-faced elder uncle and second uncle, then raised the corner of his mouth, saying, "Hmm."
