Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 75

75 /630

However, even though Vincent has regained all the shares, due to the declining reputation of the Thomas family, board members have been requesting to withdraw their investments, leading to a cash flow problem in the Thomas family.

The next day, the White family learns that Mr. Thomas was so upset at the board meeting that he suffered a stroke and was hospitalized.

Various reports also depict that once refined and polished, Vincent has started to appear unruly and careless due to being excessively busy.

Seeing his old friend's condition, Gilbert felt a little sympathetic. However, when he thought about the evidence Ariana found of his attempts to harm the White family, he held back his feelings.

On the other hand, Lambert's involvement in messing up Vincent was secretly reported to Old Mr. Stone. Thus, He called Lambert to his study to scold him and warn him not to go near Ariana again.

Lambert calmly "declined" saying, "Apologies, grandfather, but I'm afraid I can't comply."

Old Mr. Stone gripped his walking stick and cursed.

"You say that again!"

Lambert responded helplessly, "Saying it three more times will yield the same result."

"You... The White family and the Thomas family are nothing but muddy waters. Ariana has been engaged to Vincent for a long time, and now this kind of thing has come up. With your matchless status, what's so difficult about attracting a pure and innocent girl from a noble family? I usually don't care about your romantic pursuits outside, but that doesn't mean you can act recklessly!

Moreover, your Uncle Lawrence's daughter, Beverly, will be returning to the country soon. An engagement party will be held immediately, I want you two to get married by the end of the year. You better not do anything crazy in the meantime!"

Lambert couldn't help but laugh. Without any respect for his grandfather, he said, "Grandfather, how can you be so sure that Beverly is still pure after being alone abroad?"

As far as he knew, Beverly was having a blast overseas. However, she had been good at keeping her secret adventures under wraps.

He knows this because Beverly got involved with one of his friends. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have found out.

Old Mr. Stone grunted coldly, "Then you have to bear it! The Stone family isn’t nurturing you for free. It's time for you to return the favor!"

Lambert didn't respond – neither refusing nor agreeing. Seeing this, Old Mr. Stone shouted angrily, "Did you hear what I said?"

Lambert curled his lips meaningfully, "I'm afraid things won’t go as well as Grandfather imagines."

"You!" The old man could feel anger bubbling within him, but Lambert's phone started ringing at that moment, and Lambert took the opportunity to slip away.

Lambert exited the study and glanced at Ariana's missed call on his mobile phone. He contemplated for a moment.

Ever since the incident at the restaurant, Ariana, perhaps due to her busy schedule, was less clingy. He curled his lips slightly and quietly pocketed his phone.

It seemed that this woman wanted to take advantage of him and then abandon him.

White Family’s residence...

Ariana woke up at noon because she was busy planning her next steps last night and slept late. As she descended the stairs, she spotted Lambert chatting and laughing with her parents.

"Why are you here?" she queried.

Lambert was dressed in a rare formal outfit. The impeccably tailored suit outlined his tall and slender stature. His genteel manners exuded an aura of cultured elegance.

Gilbert and Georgia originally had many misunderstandings about Lambert.

When they learned that Lambert risked his life to save Ariana last time, they couldn't help but compare him with Vincent, who didn't dare to say anything when his fiancée was kissed in public. They suddenly thought there was a very big gap between the two men. They have started to see Lambert in a new light.

Even though his reputation was less than flattering, seeing him today made them feel a world of difference between the young man before them and the rumors that circulated about him.
