Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 84

It's not like now, sharp-tongued and disrespectful to elders.

Ariana chuckled lightly and then heard Old Mr. Stone speak indifferently: "You aren't oblivious to Lambet's romantic issues out there. You don't have to insist on being played by him. No matter what he does, he still needs to come home. Moreover, you are from a reputable family, and The scandals in the past few days have more or less affected the White family."

Ariana remembered that some teachers from the academy were invited to Beverly's homecoming banquet during the day, and now she understood.

Indeed, like ginger... the older, the spicier!

She said: "Indeed, Lambert has quite a few women out there. However, I'm a bit curious, I wonder if Old Mr. Stone summons each of them like this?"

Old Mr. Stone paused for a moment, his expression falling cold.

Ariana said: "Actually, you’re worrying too much. If things are really as you think, then with the multitude of women Lambert has out there, even if you drive away one Ariana, there will be more women you won't be able to fend off."

Old Mr. Stone was choked with anger, "Hmph! Making up lame excuses!"

How could he not know what his grandson was like? From going abroad for studies till coming back, he has always been reported on due to various scandals, it has never stopped.

And now this Ariana is telling him that he is overthinking, it sounds like she knows Lambert better than he does.

Ariana laughed and said, "Old Mr. Stone, don't get angry. How about you let me explain…"

Old Mr. Stone furrowed his eyebrows and gave her a cold face, but he didn’t say anything; which was basically an approval.

She said, “Actually, even if you aren’t satisfied with me and decide to drive me away, it would be pointless. Lambert's legs are attached to his body, how could I possibly stop him from coming to find me?”

Old Mr. Stone was momentarily speechless, "I…”

He knew Ariana and Lambert were very close, but her words held some truth, leaving him no room for rebuttal.

After a moment, he finally spoke, "It takes two hands to clap. If you stayed away from him, this wouldn't have happened."

Ariana could not help but giggle loudly, "You can't control Lambert, but you asked me to stay away from him. Isn't it too overbearing?"

The Old Mr. Stone's face began to darken. However, considering Ariana was a generation younger, it would be beneath his dignity to be provoked easily.

He sighed deeply and said, "Actually, I am also worried about Lambert. This boy has not been disciplined well since childhood, and even now, he still acts willfully. I hope that he gets married soon and settles down. As for Miss White, you clearly know he is playing with you, why would you humiliate yourself? Given your family background, even if the Thomas family cancels the engagement, it doesn't mean you won't find another good family. Not to mention that you are the one who was wronged in that matter."

If straightforward persuasion doesn't work, play the sympathy card.

Although it sounds like it's all for Ariana's good, his objective remains the same - he wants her to let go.

On queue, Beverly also chimed in, "Yes, Miss White. Lambert and I will eventually get married. Your forceful involvement makes things awkward for us."

Ariana laughed lightly and said, "Actually, I used to feel the same way."

She paused for a moment, pretending to be overwhelmed with emotion. "But when Lambert risked his life to shield me at the hospital, I was deeply moved. I thought, if he could do that, he couldn't possibly treat it as just a plaything, right?"

Beverly was surprised, "What?"

"His hand was injured while saving you?" Old Mr. Stone was also surprised. He remembered Lambert's hand being injured.
