Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 595

Not only did she not like him, but as time went on, Madelyn grew increasingly disgusted with Arnold.

Though Arnold hid it well, Madelyn could still see through his façade—his mediocrity and arrogance. And men like that were precisely the kind she despised the most. Typically, such men amounted to nothing.

Even though she was already married to him.

Irene noticed the undisguised irritation on Madelyn’s face and frowned slightly. "Madelyn, you and Arnold have a child now. You can’t afford to be this childish anymore."

Madelyn knew Irene meant well, but she simply couldn’t swallow her resentment!

She clenched her teeth and shot Irene a glare, her eyes brimming with hatred. "If it weren’t for Ariana, I would never have married Arnold."

Every time she thought about that day, the fury still burned inside her.

If not for the last shred of reason holding her back, she would have gladly dragged Ariana down with her.

How could someone so vile still be alive?

Not only that, but she had also taken what others could never have, living so comfortably, so brazenly. A thief who stole another’s happiness, yet acted as if she had every right to it. It was utterly revolting.

Irene watched Madelyn’s expression flicker before sighing. "Enough, Madelyn. What’s done is done. Don’t dwell on it anymore. Ariana… you can’t win against her. You have a child now—even if you won’t think for yourself, think for the child. The future head of the Stone family will undoubtedly be Lambert, and Ariana will be his wife. If you make an enemy of her, your child will suffer too."

Her words were earnest, spoken like a true friend looking out for her.

Yet there was a faint shadow in her eyes—something between resignation and a bitter smile.

Madelyn stared at Irene’s helpless expression, her heart seething. "All of this… should have been yours. What right does she have to flaunt what she stole and act so high and mighty?"

Irene shook her head gently. "But this is how things are now. The past doesn’t matter, Madelyn—only the outcome does. Listen to me. For your sake and your child’s safety, don’t provoke Ariana again. Otherwise, a difficult life will be the least of your worries. I’m afraid of what she might do to you. I’m not in the country anymore, so I can’t protect you. You have to find a way to protect yourself."

Listening to Irene's words, Madelyn suddenly felt an even deeper wave of sorrow wash over her.

Why?

Why should Ariana have the power to dictate her future—and even her child's future? That woman was the most despicable culprit of all!

The thought of how Ariana had forced Irene to leave the country, exiled from her homeland, only fueled Madelyn's hatred further.

Though Irene's expression carried a hint of bitterness, her gaze remained unwavering as she studied Madelyn's shifting emotions. Noticing the turmoil in her friend's face, the corners of Irene's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold, calculated smile. *Ariana*, she thought darkly, *even from abroad, I can still make your life miserable.*

Just as Madelyn had said, what was taken must eventually be returned.

After a brief silence, Madelyn forced herself to exchange a few more hollow pleasantries before ending the call with a vague promise to talk again soon.

Irene pretended not to notice her friend's distress, offering a lighthearted chuckle instead. "Take care of yourself, alright? I want to meet a cute little niece or nephew when I come back. Got it?"

Madelyn managed a strained smile, her eyes softening briefly at her friend's concern. "Yeah, I know. Stop worrying about me. Just focus on staying safe over there. I have a feeling Ariana won’t let you off so easily—after all, you’re Lambert’s ‘white moonlight.’ She could never replace you, and that must drive her insane. So be careful, okay?"

What they uncovered was startling.

They found out about Vincent—Ariana’s former fiancé. The details were sparse, but the "facts" presented to the public painted a picture of a fickle man who abandoned Ariana for her cousin, Jane, leading to their breakup and the dissolution of their engagement.

Not long after, her cousin was sent to a sanatorium.

Rumors said she nearly lost her mind.

Later, the cousin returned but was too afraid to set foot in the family home. Eventually, Ariana’s father took pity and allowed her to work in the company—only for Jane to collude with outsiders and steal company secrets.

Reading this, Madelyn couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

Seated across from her was her younger brother, Marcel Olson. Seeing her reaction, he raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong? Is there an issue with the information?"

Madelyn shook her head.

She calmly set the documents aside and met her brother’s gaze. "The information itself isn’t the problem. But in my opinion, the truth is probably far from what’s written here. That woman, Ariana, is ruthless. I don’t believe for a second that anyone could betray her and run off with her cousin. More likely, she set her sights on Lambert and schemed her way out of that engagement. Then she used the whole mess to ruin her cousin’s reputation. Everyone knows they were raised together since childhood."

"Even though the White family inheritance was always hers, no one wants to share even a sliver of it. Getting rid of a potential rival while also dumping her ex-fiancé? A win-win, don’t you think?"

Yes, in Madelyn’s eyes, this was exactly the kind of person Ariana was.

To be fair, ever since Ariana had drugged Irene—only for Madelyn to accidentally ingest it and end up in bed with Arnold—her hatred for Ariana had reached its boiling point.
