Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 367

The old man's unexpected decision can be said to be pretty impressive. Even the second uncle's family was baffled, never expecting the old man to pull such a move.

Suddenly, the mood of the second branch, who were already in low spirits, got a boost again.

Naturally, the first to bear the brunt was Aster.

Aster scornfully looked at Khloe, with eyes full of disdain and ridicule. This made Khloe's face turn even more sullen. Concurrently, she couldn't help but feel a hint of panic deep within her heart. She was afraid that, in case Beverly really screwed up again and cuckolded Arnold, this grandchild wasn’t hers! That means she will lose face in a big way...

However, if this child indeed is not Arnold's, she could disregard her own honor and dignity, and demand an explanation from the Lawrence family.

Fortuitously...

The result after the identification confirmed that the child was indeed Arnold's son.

This immediately settled the hearts of the folks of Arnold's family. However, simply having a son can't appease their hatred for Beverly!

Especially Arnold.

After being publicly reprimanded at the hospital by the old man, he thoroughly despised Beverly. Every sight of her felt like returning to the moment at the hospital when he was looked upon with sympathy or ridicule by everyone, thus he began to increasingly disregard Beverly, he used to return home frequently, but now he hardly does.

Even when he does come back, he only has cold words for Beverly.

Anyhow, since the son was already born and the intended purpose was achieved, he, Arnold, is not afraid anymore.

This caused Beverly to harbor strong resentment within her heart. She began to constantly flee to her parent's house to lament. However, now as the match between Mrs. Lawrence and Ronaldo was lost, she was being suppressed everywhere. Even if Mrs. Lawrence had the intention, she couldn't help her daughter much. This gradually twisted Beverly's heart.

Particularly each time she witnessed the affectionate and considerate behavior of Lambert towards Ariana, this twist magnified.

…

It is already around October, and the weather is gradually becoming cooler. Now, Lucian is almost a year old. Given his astonishing intelligence, he has already started uttering a few words in his cute baby language. This has made his grandparents incredibly fond of him. Perhaps because Lucian was the firstborn, and due to his inherent adorableness and likability, the elderly couple favors him a bit more.

Compared to the son of Beverly and Arnold, the difference is quite stark.

The biggest difference is that the grandmother has never spoken about gifting shares to the eldest son of the household.

This has thrown the household into panic and they were extremely anxious.

They were unsure about what the grandmother was implying, so they frequently took their child to the grandparents' place, attempting to capture more of their attention. However, for some unknown reason, probably due to the intimidating aura of the grandfather...

Arnold’s son would start crying the moment he was handed over to the grandfather. The crying not only disappointed the excited grandfather, looking forward to spending some time with his great-grandchild, but it also soured his mood.

This made his feelings towards this child colder and more detached.

Until later, where he barely even held the child anymore.

While this aggravated the eldest household, they also pushed all the blame onto Beverly. Beverly felt wronged and indignant, but if she voiced her opinions, she would be met with her mother-in-law's cold glare. Thus, even if it was for a better life, she didn't retort much and only cursed quietly in her heart.

Today, like always, it was dinner time at the Stone family household. Everyone had returned.

The old lady also believed this was the case, immediately loosening her previously furrowed brows.

But before she could say anything, the little boy who was gradually falling asleep was awakened by Khloe's loud voice. This time, he started wailing uncontrollably, crying so loudly that it shook everyone's heart.

Khloe's face stiffened immediately.

The old lady was relatively patient. Even though her brows tightened again, she still tried to calm the baby down.

However, the child continued to cry relentlessly.

The old lady, who wasn't fond of noisy environments, immediately handed the child to the nanny, waving her hand and saying, "Take him down and soothe him, see if he's hungry."

The nanny quickly nodded, saying, "As you wish, Madam."

Immediately after, the child was thoroughly taken away. Upon seeing this, Khloe's smile seemed to have completely frozen on her face.

Seeing this, Aster had an inner derisive smirk, that coincidentally, Khloe caught a glimpse of. A flash of anger immediately reflected in her eyes. Aster wasn't scared of Khloe, merely responding with a cold snort.

The old lady received back her great-grandson she had just handed to the butler, a warm and loving smile instantly appeared on her face again. She looked up at the butler, saying: "Can you phone and check why Ariana and Lambert haven't returned? Dinner is about to start."

The butler replied with a smile, "Of course, I shall inquire right away."

The old lady gently nodded, then continued to dote on her great-grandson. Seeing this, both Khloe and Aster stopped giving each other icy glares, and their expressions turned stern.
