Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 372

She still hoped that her family could be happy together, without wanting to tear it apart.

Staring blankly at Georgia as Jane went upstairs, a deep sense of jealousy and distortion sprang up in her eyes.

She clenched her fists coldly, leaving a chill in her heart.

Jane thought, since you are so ruthless to me, don't blame me.

...

At night, the weather approaching November swathed the entire city in chilling cold, especially at night. The cold was piercing, all people wanted was to kill the chill with a good sleep.

At that time, Ariana was in the top office of the Lamari Group, dealing with the files she hadn’t finished.

Her demeanor was serious, without a trace of fatigue.

When Lambert entered, he saw such a scene. His dark eyes flickered as a pang of heartache crossed his mind. Subsequently, there was a deep sigh and fascination. His gaze was fixed on Ariana without shifting a bit. Rightfully, as they say, serious working individuals are the most attractive. Lambert experienced the truth of the claim for the first time.

This was his first time seeing Ariana in this light. She looked different than usual yet exuded a deep charm.

Lambert stood there for about half an hour, and then he was spotted by Ariana, who was about to ask her assistant to get her a cup of coffee. Ariana was confused. "When did you come?"

Lambert, who had been standing by the door for over half an hour, laughed and raised his eyebrows. "I've been here for a while. I was wondering how long it'd take for you to notice your dear husband. Seems like I have overestimated myself." After saying that, Lambert slowly walked towards Ariana and whispered, looking at the files, "I'm a bit jealous of them now."

Ariana: "... "

"What are you up to now?" Ariana asked.

Lambert raised his eyebrows and blinked. "I’m just messing around. What is Mrs. Stone planning to do to me?"

Ariana was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. "What are you doing? Those who don’t know might think you're my lover." The tone of her voice just sounded like that of an ‘office lover.'

Who would have known Lambert's smirk would only widen upon hearing this? His lips curled into a wicked smile on purpose, and he leaned closer to Ariana, speaking in a slow sultry voice, "Today, I'm your lover. President White, feel free to 'enjoy' my presence to your heart’s content."

Ariana: "......"

Just then, the assistant entered the room with a stack of documents, only to be greeted by this sight!

She was taken aback for a moment, almost dropping the files.

Swiftly, the assistant bowed her head and retreated, mumbling, "Apologies, President White. I’m sorry, I didn’t see anything."

Ariana: "......"

Before Ariana could rebuke Lambert, who was clearly satisfied with the scene he had created, the assistant gently knocked on the door again. Upon confirming that President White had heard her, she slightly opened a crack and whispered sternly, "But President White, please...try to be careful." With that, she scurried out.

She hadn't intended to offer a warning initially. But, given her fresh start at the company and having heard that President White's husband frequently visits, she felt the need to caution her.

Ariana's cheeks reddened as she let out a slight cough, then she nodded and said, "I'm managing."

Lambert frowned slightly, then continued, "There's been some problems at the Stone Group recently, so I might not be able to come often. But don't worry about anything, the Stone family won't cause any trouble for the company. You just need to focus on managing the Lamari. Ignore everything else." The infighting at the Stone family had now entered a white-hot stage.

The liveliest among them was the eldest uncle's family.

The second uncle's house also targeted Lambert, but not as obviously as the eldest's. Despite this, Lambert's days at the Stone Group hadn't been very smooth recently.

However, it's true that the opposite side isn't doing well either.

Given Lambert's temperament, if anyone dared to bully him once, he would retaliate tenfold. Hence, the first house of the Stone family was reined in, fearing that if they pushed Lambert too hard, he might take drastic measures. If that were to happen, the second house would stand to benefit. So, the current situation was that the first house, particularly Arnold, could no longer tolerate Lambert, but they couldn't do anything except watch him provoke them.

This has been gnawing at Arnold every day.

After hearing what Lambert said, Ariana smiled gently, albeit her smile was mixed with worry and heartache. She said, "Lambert, I've never asked you this, but now I want to."

Lambert was somewhat startled. He laughed and said, "Hmm? Say it." After that, he couldn't help but ruffle Ariana's hair.

Her hairstyle was now a bit messy because of it.

Ariana was very dissatisfied with this. Frowning, she glared at Lambert, indicating that he should remove his hand. Lambert pretended not to see and continued ruffling her hair.
