Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 352

Lambert's sudden initiative to return to the Stone family home was somewhat unexpected.

After all, Lambert had previously quarrelled furiously with the old man.

Even though things have calmed down now, his attitude towards the old man still remained cold and proud every time he saw him. Old Mr. Stone would have driven him away long ago if it weren't for his satisfaction with Lambert's capabilities.

Old Mr. Stone really didn't know how to deal with such a rebellious and disobedient grandson.

Fortunately, the great-grandson of the Stone family was about to be born.

The old man still didn't know if it was going to be a boy or a girl. Lambert the rascal has kept the results of the test tightly hidden. But, it didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl, as long as one was born. Being born signified that there would eventually be a son to take over. Due to this reason, Old Mr. Stone behaved rather amicably towards Ariana.

After all, she was still so young, that even if she gave birth to a girl, it was not of concern.

Moreover, this would be the first generation great-grandchild of the Stone family.

No matter whether a boy or a girl, both are equally precious. Their position is not like that of other children.

Old Mr. Stone was somewhat conservative in his thinking. He was very firm on this point, given that the Stone family indeed had a long heritage.

Old Mr. Stone's thinking was a bit old-fashioned, but these beliefs had been passed down for many generations, so the old man was very persistent on this point.

The old lady and the old man share similar views on this issue.

Thus, after hearing that Ariana and Lambert were returning to the main house, Old Mrs. Stone immediately shifted from the old house, expressing her intention to witness the birth of her little great-grandchild personally. This is, after all, the precious great-grandchild of the Stone family, and no mistakes can be permitted.

Therefore, when Lambert brought Ariana back, they were greeted by the whole family.

Ariana was somewhat dazed.

She stared blankly at everything before her, finding the situation a bit exaggerated.

Ariana and Lambert were arranged to live in the main villa. Usually, the central villas were only inhabited by legitimate family members. As Old Mr. Stone had yet to decide who the successor was over all these years, the house was seldom occupied. Apart from the eldest daughter-in-law, who had lived there for a while after the birth of Arnold, no one else had.

Now, the villa had been thoroughly reorganized inside and out, showing hardly any rough edges. The floor was also covered with soft carpets.

At first sight, it was clear that this reorganization was done for Ariana.

Being caught in the moment, Ariana did not know what to say. At this time, the old lady walked over, smiling as she held Ariana's hand, repeatedly saying, "Ariana, the third floor is for the younger generation. Nobody will disturb you. Do not feel constrained. I've had the whole third floor organized. There will be no dangerous objects that might harm you. You can live there at ease. If you need to go downstairs, let the maids help you, understand?"

Ariana tugged at the corner of her mouth, looking at this elderly woman who treated her with extraordinary kindness and gentleness, she couldn't help but feel her eyes well up.

She whispered, "Thank you, grandmother."

"Thank you for what?" The old lady chuckled. "You've been carrying our great-grandchild for the past few months. It's really hard on you."

Lambert, who was still standing there: "......"

Was his grandmother blind, he wondered. The most confounding part was his dear mother hadn't even glanced his way, leaving him behind as she went with the old lady and Ariana.

The expression on the discarded Lambert's face was cold. The servants couldn’t help but conceal their amusement. Even the old butler presented a friendly smile. Quickly stepping up to Lambert, he uttered, "Sir, Mr. Stone asked you to come to the study after your return. He has some business with you." With a keen sense of things, the butler had a hunch that a major change was about to occur in the Stone family.

For instance…

The successor of the family.

He could also guess who the head had his mind set on based on his words and actions. So if he had only shown the proper respect to Lambert as a steward before, now he was treating Lambert as the next head of the family. There was no hint of disparagement in his tone.

Upon hearing the butler's words, Lambert furrowed his brow: "He wants to see me?"

The butler maintained a smile, "Indeed. He is waiting in the study. Shall we... go see him now?"

Lambert stood there lost in thought. If Old Mr. Stone was looking for him, it certainly wasn't for something good. It was bound to be serious business, he was usually left alone otherwise.

Despite being overjoyed when he learned about Lambert's true identity, Old Mr. Stone typically avoided him.

This was mostly due to Lambert's infamous sharp tongue. If Old Mr. Stone spent more than ten minutes alone with him, he'd be so exasperated he'd be at his wits' end.
