Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 537

537 /671

On the road, Ariana remained silent the entire time.

Lambert drove while occasionally glancing her way, but she kept her gaze fixed out the window, not uttering a word. Meanwhile, the two little rascals in the backseat were thoroughly enjoying themselves, lost in their own playful world.

After about three minutes, Lambert finally broke the silence. "Why so quiet, huh?"

Ariana pressed her lips together before replying, "No reason."

Lambert arched an eyebrow, took a deep breath, and said, "I dug up some information about you. Want to hear it?" Truth be told, he had uncovered this lead a while ago. His mother-in-law’s blatant favoritism had always struck him as suspicious, making him wonder if there was more to the story.

And sure enough, what he found confirmed his suspicions.

Of course, Ariana was indeed her biological daughter—but apparently, his mother-in-law had *another* biological daughter as well. Once he pieced it together, her indifferent attitude toward Ariana suddenly made sense.

Ariana’s attention was instantly captured. She turned slightly toward him. "What is it?"

Lambert warned, "Promise me you won’t act impulsively after hearing this."

She nodded.

Satisfied, he continued, "No contacting Fanny or spending time with that little troublemaker Kiara for the next month."

What kind of demand was that?

Ariana’s lips twitched, but she nodded in agreement anyway.

Lambert was thoroughly pleased.

He had long been irritated by Fanny. That woman seemed to have nothing better to do—she was practically glued to Ariana’s side every waking moment. Whenever Ariana had a spare second, there she was, hovering like a shadow. At first, Lambert had merely regarded her with detached indifference, but gradually, his gaze turned icy. As Ariana’s husband, he knew exactly why Fanny clung to her so persistently.

The woman was avoiding Damon.

He couldn’t care less about other people’s marital drama, but when it started encroaching on his life, he had no choice but to intervene.

If he hadn’t finally lost patience and called Damon—casually dropping hints about his wife’s whereabouts to his old rival—Fanny might never have left, robbing him and Ariana of every last shred of privacy.

Emboldened by his success, Lambert proceeded to push his luck, piling demand upon demand.

Ariana listened, her expression shifting from blank to twitching. Narrowing her eyes with a dangerous smirk, she said, "How about a one-way trip to outer space? I can arrange that too—just say the word."

Lambert: "..."

Knowing he was toeing the line before his beloved wife’s temper truly flared, he wisely backed off.

A faint smirk played on his lips as he smoothly changed the subject. "About your mother—according to my sources, the man she truly loved back then was actually your father’s younger brother." Watching Ariana’s eyes widen in shock, he added with a light chuckle, "That’s right. The father of Jane and Kiara."

Ariana froze, her voice barely a whisper. "How... is that possible?"

Her parents’ love story had been the stuff of legends. Growing up, she’d heard countless tales of her father’s grand gestures for her mother, Georgia—stories that left other wives green with envy.

Young Ariana had basked in that fairy tale, secretly vowing to find a man who’d love her just as fiercely as her father had loved her mother.

Now Lambert was telling her that her mother hadn't actually loved her father back then—this seemed impossible.

She had never heard anything about any romantic involvement between her mother and that uncle. On the contrary, her uncle and aunt had always seemed deeply in love. Even as a child, she could tell from the way her uncle looked at her aunt that his affection was genuine.
