Beverly began to lose her patience at the slightly arrogant tone, and she sarcastically commented with a smile, "You sure have a glib tongue. I wonder if you're as bold in front of Lambert."
Beverly had just arrived home from the airport the previous night. As soon as she got back, she planned to visit the Stone family's old man and her fiancé, whom she had always been thinking about.
Unexpectedly, she didn't manage to see Lambert, but she did hear about his recent new love, and it was making quite a stir. Losing her patience, she immediately ordered someone to retrieve Ariana's phone number.
What Beverly didn't expect was that Ariana would dare to be so overbearing.
Ariana laughed, "How should I put it, he likes me no matter what my attitude is. Otherwise, why would he pursue me?"
"You!" Beverly cursed in frustration: "Miss White, insisting on being close to someone while knowing he has a fiancee, isn't that a bit inappropriate? Or is it that Miss White deliberately degrades herself, intending to retaliate against her former fiancé using the same method?"
Her words were sharp and aimed directly at one's weakness.
Ariana raised her eyebrows slightly. She was surprised that Beverly had conducted an exhaustive investigation on her own romantic history. It seemed that Beverly was truly anxious.
She replied languidly: "I'm sorry, you got it wrong. Firstly, I currently don't have any other marriage engagements. Secondly, the person who's insisting on meddling isn't me!"
Ariana chuckled as she spoke, "Moreover, as far as I know, you and Lambert are not exactly a couple."
Ariana didn't want to help Lambert deal with this woman, but Beverly was obviously here to pick a fight this early in the morning!
"You!"
Her words visibly pricked a sore spot for Beverly, who spoke through gritted teeth: "Why couldn't we count as one? It’s arranged by our parents, so why couldn't we be considered engaged?"
Upon hearing this, Ariana couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Pff, are you a woman from a feudal society or what?"
Beverly instantly wore a dark expression, but she couldn't blame Ariana for not giving her face.
Ariana just never thought that in such a society, there would still be such talk of parental commands.
Unable to maintain her composure, Beverly scoffed in anger, "Just like grandpa said, you're indeed quick-witted! But, be clear about one thing. Men love to play, everyone knows Lambert has many women out there. However, wildflowers remain wildflowers, they ultimately have a hard time entering the court of elegance. So, I advise Miss White to respect herself, otherwise, she'll be just a plaything for Lambert."
Ariana nodded slightly, laughing, "I’ll take the first sentence as a compliment. However, who the wildflower is... that's the real question. Also..."
She paused for a moment, and added, "Miss Lawrence, have you ever considered that you're very beautiful, yet Lambert refuses to marry you? Why?"
"You!" Beverly's elegant face contorted with anger.
Seeing Beverly so angered, Ariana softly suggested, "Actually, venting anger on me is pointless. If you truly want to win over Lambert, this is the time to cling onto him. What's the use of arguing with me?"
Beverly assumed that Ariana knew where Lambert was, so her comments felt like a provocation, "Ariana, even if Lambert is with you, you're way too complacent!"
Ariana's face turned gloomy when she realized that Beverly has assumed that Lambert was with her at the moment.
Fluttered by the thought, she murmured "To be honest, Lambert is not here with me."
