After Lambert left, Ariana stayed on the couch, fiddling with her cell phone a few times.
Ariana actually came today because she had something to discuss with Lambert.
About the White Corporation...
She wanted to leave, and she felt a little bit tired. She thought she would not care about her parents' excessive favoritism. All she wanted was to inherit the White Corporation. She didn't worry about anything else as long as others would not take away her assets. But now, her mindset had changed.
She still couldn't let go.
Sometimes Ariana wondered if her parents really didn't know or were just pretending not to know.
Why was there such a huge difference between the way they treated Jane and her? But none of these matters now.
She decided to withdraw from the White Corporation.
Since her father intended to split the assets into three parts, it would be better if she didn't take any of them. She was extremely tired and didn't want to compete with Jane anymore. She could contend with her, but she didn't want to compete for attention from her parents. She gave up, admitting her defeat.
If her parents considered Jane more as their daughter, let them live with their daughter.
Ariana did not want anything given out of charity--
As she thought about this, Ariana felt a sudden pain in her heart. After a while, she managed to gradually calm her feelings down. Ariana held back her tears, though there was a slight redness in her eyes. But she would absolutely not shed tears for this anymore.
In this second life, she finally understood.
Those who were not worth it and things that weren't worthwhile were not worth her tears.
Let's see what kind of returns their beloved Jane will bring to them in the end.
Thinking of this, a shred of extremely cold light crossed Ariana's eyes.
While Ariana was pondering, her phone rang. Looking at it, she realized that the call was from Allison. Her mood instantly brightened a bit. Allison was a friend who served as her only comfort from her previous life. Ariana answered the call and said softly, "Calling me after such a long time, why? Do you still remember someone like me exists?"
From the other end, Allison chuckled appeasingly for a bit, then said, "Ari, you also haven't called me, hmm? Okay, stop fooling around. Are you free right now?"
Ariana: "Hmm? What's up?"
Allison spoke with resignation, "Of course, I want to meet up and chat since it’s been so long. Oh, and bring your son along too. I want them to foster a sense of brotherhood from an early age. They'll grow up to be just like you and me."
Ariana did not know whether to laugh or cry. Helplessly shaking her head, she replied, "Alright. Where are do you wanna meet? At your place?"
Stefan's family was also a large corporation. In most cases, people who marry within these families live with the family. Only because of the many unexpected events between Ariana and Lambert did they live on their own away from the family. Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to live outside. Hence, Ariana's question.
Allison: "Yeah, come over. Not many people are at my house; I'm feeling quite bored."
Allison spent all her time playing with her son now, simply unoccupied. Though she was supposedly caring for a child, the Morris family employed many nannies and maids. Thus, Allison didn't need to care for the kid hands-on. The most she did was hold and comfort him when he threw tantrums. The nannies or maids did the things like bathing, changing diapers, and other tasks.
Consequently, Allison is extremely at leisure.
So in her leisure, she thought of Ariana. She guessed that Ariana, who had just given birth to a child not too long ago, probably had not returned to work at White Group. Therefore, she planned to seize this opportunity to chat with her friend.
Only after a long discussion with Ariana was she convinced.
However, it did mean that more people were involved than usual.
But this was fairly normal, because Lucian was currently the only great-grandchild of the Stone family, and many people might harbor ulterior motives. Therefore, Ariana didn't refuse. Once they arrived at the Morris family's main house, Ariana carried the child out of the car. The driver was then directed to a staff resting area where he could rest with the Morris family's drivers until Ariana needed to leave.
Allison was elated when she saw Ariana.
Then she chuckled, poking the little fellow in Ariana's arms, her eyes creased in a smile as she said, "Oh, let me see my godson!"
Ariana: "......"
However, Ariana also happened to want to see Allison's son, Shawn Morris. So, she handed Lucian to Allison and picked up Shawn, who was crawling and babbling on the ground. Shawn was quite curious about Ariana's unfamiliar scent, but he was not afraid. He just babbled away.
Ariana said fondly, "Even though it's only been two months, he feels quite a bit heavier."
Parents are generally pleased when their baby is slightly heavier at this age.
This indicates that the child is healthy.
Of course, this excludes those children who are excessively heavy, which might indicate a health problem.
On hearing this, Allison turned her head to take a glance, then shrugged her shoulders and said, "Hmm, I suppose so. I don't often hold him, so I can't really tell. But I have to say, my second son is really good-looking, with his chubby cheeks! Wow, these big eyes! He's just too adorable!"
