Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 74

74 /630

"You... What did you say?"

Upon hearing Vincent’s words, his father's breathing started to hasten, "How could this be? Doesn't she trust you a lot?"

Vincent gritted his teeth, and honestly said, "That despicable woman, she discovered my affair with Jane a long time ago, and she also found out about our plan to undermine the White family."

Vincent's father's face instantly turned extremely uncomfortable. He originally wanted to plead with Gilbert to ask Ariana to understand Vincent, but with this development, wasn't it just like the story of the deceitful weasel, all pretense and falsehoods?

"What's the situation with the shareholders?"

Vincent looked distressed, "Those people are making a big fuss right now, and they are even demanding a mandatory shareholders meeting."

He reached up to rub his aching forehead, "You should call and ask what exactly Ariana wants?"

The trending topic had been hanging for several days, but Ariana never responded.

Vincent was uncertain about what to do, so he did as his father suggested.

At this moment, Ariana's cold voice was heard from the doorway.

"No need!"

Both the father and son were stunned. When they turned their heads they saw Ariana in a clean and neat white western suit with a sharp and efficient demeanor, completely devoid of her former gentle and humble appearance.

Behind her was Allison who was looking at them with disgust, and they were accompanied by a group of bodyguards.

Ariana had not been idly watching the Thomas family's embarrassment in the last few days. She used her identity as the largest shareholder to review several confidential documents and discovered something that infuriated her even more.

The Thomas family had been making moves against the White family much earlier. On top of that, the White family's bankruptcy in her previous life was not just due to their business secrets being stolen. The Thomas family had been using their relationship with the White family in the business field to steal their clients, betraying the White family.

In her previous life, the White Family Group was suspected of laundering money through real estate and was already on the brink of falling apart when a sudden large fire broke out in their house. Everyone assumed it was a suicidal act out of guilt.

Vincent's father was taken aback to see Ariana appear here. He stood up with some surprise.

Ariana looked at their astonishment, flashed a faint smile, and sat on the sofa beside them. Her long legs crossed elegantly, exuding a vaguely cold aura.

"I heard there's a shareholders' meeting today," she casually mentioned, "But surprisingly, I, the biggest shareholder, was not invited. So, I decided to make an appearance."

"You...!"

Vincent's pupils narrowed drastically at her words. The mere thought of her attending the shareholders meeting made him furious.

All the unbearable things in the past few days and the humiliation he suffered when he proposed to her on that day all flashed across his mind.

"I've done what you asked, now you should return my shares, right?"

When was the last time Vincent had ever talked to Ariana in such a humble tone? He felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.

Ariana curled her lips and said, "Mr. Thomas is a businessman. He wouldn't just ask for a favor without expecting something in return, would he?"

"You..." Vincent almost swore but then swallowed his anger and pleaded, "Ari, I know I wronged you, but could you please show me some mercy?"

Seeing that Vincent was getting nowhere with Ariana, his father intervened and sternly advised, "Ariana, Vincent was impulsive... Our families have known each other for so many years...So, you see..."

Upon hearing him shamelessly bringing up old ties, Ariana couldn't help but mock him, "Uncle, it's inappropriate to talk about friendship in business, isn't it?"

"Why can't you see it? Your father and I have been friends for over thirty years. We've supported each other in business over the years. Can't you even help your father's friend?"
