In the end, Gilbert could no longer resist his emotions and headed towards Ariana.
At the time, Ariana had just finished chatting with a few ladies, and as she turned around to check on her son, she saw her father heading towards her.
Ariana stopped in her tracks, not moving from her spot.
Gilbert got in front of Ariana and slowly showed a relieved face. He said, "Ariana, seeing that you have a kid now, your father can finally rest assured." Having a child was still the most important thing in a family like the Stone family. Even if Lambert and Ariana had good feelings for each other, as the days and months passed, it was very unstable if there was no child.
Now that his daughter had a child, he, as a father, could finally rest assured.
Ariana looked at her father's expression and just nodded slightly.
Yet, Gilbert seemed not to notice his daughter's indifference compared to before. He thought it was normal for a woman who had just given birth. He glanced around, then hesitated and said, "Ariana, let's find a place, your father has something to tell you."
In fact, discussing this matter in this situation was a risky behavior.
After all, such things are usually discussed between father and daughter at home, and it wasn’t the time to discuss it.
However, Gilbert didn't know why, but he had been restless recently. Adding to that, ever since the day Lambert left coldly, he had felt some guilt within. At first, he thought Ariana wouldn't mind too much. After all, she had Lambert to take care of her. But upon seeing Lambert's reaction, Gilbert realized he might have gone a little overboard.
Since Lambert had said that, it definitely indicated that it was also what his daughter was thinking.
Therefore, Gilbert thought it over and decided to clear this misunderstanding as soon as possible, before it became more difficult to clean up as time went by. And since Ariana hadn't been coming home often, Gilbert could only seize this moment to speak.
Ariana looked at Gilbert, then nodded slightly.
Then, the two of them found a quiet corner. Ariana looked at Gilbert, and said, "Dad, just say what you want."
Gilbert looked at Ariana, and then couldn’t help but sigh slightly, and said, "Ariana. I guess Lambert already told you about the matter I discussed with him in the study last time. I apologize, I should have consulted you before making a decision. Actually, I didn’t mean anything else by it. As you know, you have Lambert by your side and the Stone family as a backup. So, I thought that you may not need the White family's property that much. As for your two younger sisters..."
This was a phrase often used by Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, and Ariana was tired of hearing it.
Ariana forced a smile, which looked uglier than crying, and continued, "Every time I am hurt, you and Mom turn a blind eye, but you can always see Jane's pain. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm your daughter." With that, she closed her eyes tightly. When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with determination and cold hardness. She said, "You don't need to explain about the study room incident. Why bother to explain to me? To lessen the guilt? There's no need. White Corp. is your property, and you naturally have the right to distribute it.
However, I'm really tired this time. Dad, sometimes I wish I could trade places with Jane. At least then I would have someone who loves me like a parent. It's quite ridiculous that I have parents, yet I feel as if I have none. You don't need to include me in the White Family's assets distribution. Divide it into two portions, for Jane and Kiara. To avoid affecting Jane's inheritance, I have prepared my resignation letter, which I will email you tonight. In the future, unless it's something important, Dad, you better not look for me. ...That's it."
After that, Ariana pulled the corners of her mouth into a forced smile and slowly turned away.
Gilbert watched Ariana's retreating figure and was frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
Georgia was playing with her young grandson at the time. The little boy was very cute and she really liked him. She had seen her husband talking to their daughter just now, so she decided not to interrupt their father-daughter talk yet because she knew what her husband was going to talk to Ariana about.
But when she looked up subconsciously a while later, she realized her daughter was no longer there, only her husband remained standing in the same spot.
He stood in silence, his entire demeanor seemed off.
Georgia was shocked, thinking something awful had happened. She quickly excused herself and went to him.
