Upon learning that she was in danger, Trevor didn't inquire further, "Alright, hold on first. When it gets dark, I will bring some people to rescue you."
Ariana remembered the handbag she was carrying on her back before she was kidnapped yesterday. Inside, there were her and Lambert's marriage certificate. Judging from yesterday's circumstances, they probably hadn't discovered the certificate.
She hastily said, "Also, when you come, can you help me find my bag? It seems to have been taken by those people."
Trevor responded, "Alright!"
She took a deep breath and gratefully said, "Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Ariana quickly deleted the call log and put the phone back, quickly lying back down on the bed to pretend to sleep again.
Not long after, Bella belatedly realized she had left her phone behind and hurriedly ran back to find it.
Fortunately, she found it at the spot where she was helping Ariana. Seeing that Ariana was asleep, she didn't think much of it.
After the naïve maid left, a tremendously tense Ariana lying in bed finally let out a sigh of relief.
In the living room, the Old Mr. Stone was pacing back and forth uneasily. Over the course of a very short day, he was constantly receiving information from the Stone Group, each piece of news received was increasingly surprising.
Not only had Lambert used his own scandal with Ariana to indirectly promote a new project, but he had also collaborated with several Fortune 500 companies abroad. The value of the Stone Group had been significantly boosted.
The butler standing by the side was terrified, after all, he had never seen the old man so anxious and furious before.
At this moment, the landline suddenly rang. Old Mr. Stone's face turned gloomy and he gestured for the butler to answer it.
The butler quickly picked up the phone and after hearing the new information, he hesitated and looked at Old Mr. Stone.
"What the hell is going on!" Seeing the butler's look, Old Mr. Stone instantly swore out of frustration.
The butler trembled violently under the scolding, nervously replying, "Sir, the current market value of the company has already exceeded the ten percent promised by Mr. Lambert!"
"What?" Old Mr. Stone's face was full of astonishment. He really didn't expect that, under the circumstances of him arranging various forces to suppress Lambert, he could still achieve such outstanding results.
"Are you sure they didn't make any mistakes?"
The butler hurriedly said, "Sir, it's absolutely true; Mr. Lambert really did it!"
Although the increase in the market value of the group was a good thing for the Stone family, Old Mr. Stone couldn't help but shudder inwardly. All these years, had Lambert been indulging himself intentionally? He'd always looked down on Lambert in the past, how would Lambert view him now?
After going through this ordeal, not to mention Lambert, he himself, even the whole family, had lost face!
Old Mr. Stone's face was gloomy, "I'll go back to my room first. If Lambert comes back, just say I don't want to see anyone!"
The butler was stunned. He didn't understand why Old Mr. Stone, upon hearing such good news, had a worse mood instead.
"Grandfather, where are you going?"
Just as Old Mr. Stone was about to turn around and leave, he heard Lambert's voice coming from the entrance.
He stopped in his steps, turned around to see Lambert leisurely walking in, still wearing yesterday's suit.
In order to deal with the forces of various traditional families, Lambert had put in a lot of effort, even staying up all night.
"Why?" Old Mr. Stone said icily, "Since you have the capability, why do you demean yourself?"
He didn't understand...
Lambert ignored his question and concisely said, "Grandpa, release Ariana!"
"Heh, I never thought that you, after taking so much effort to hide yourself, would now stand up for Ariana..."
Lambert's expression was indifferent. "Grandpa, you're overthinking."
