Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 109

So she wants me to let everything go just because she came to apologize with tea?

Ariana slightly curved her lips, shamelessly holding the tea out, waiting for him to take a sip.

Seeing Ariana's behavior, the Old Mr. Stone's expression relaxed a bit. He accepted the teacup, took a casual sip, and then said, "Alright, you can leave now."

She smiled and said, "If Grandfather is not going to eat downstairs, I will have someone bring it up later."

Old Mr. Stone snorted and didn't want to pay attention to her.

Ariana took his silence as his consent and turned around to go downstairs.

People downstairs were waiting to see Ariana receive a harsh scolding, but when she did come down, unexpectedly, she didn’t bring back the teacup she had taken up. Their faces turned unpleasant at once.

When she arrived downstairs, she told the servants, "Take up some dishes that Grandfather enjoys."

The servant looked surprised and instinctively looked over at Hugh and others.

Aunt Khloe said, "What are you doing? You have already angered Dad, now you want others to suffer with you! Even if you deliver it, he won't eat it!"

Ariana said, "Why would you think so? If Grandfather is not going to eat, why would I have people deliver it?"

Khloe mocked, "Impossible, how could Dad possibly eat what you send up?"

Everyone knew that Old Mr. Stone had a fiery temper, and Ariana had repeatedly upset him. The fact that she was still unharmed was already a good fortune for her.

Ariana smiled lightly, sitting leisurely beside Lambert. "If auntie is so certain that grandpa won't eat, why not deliver it in person and see?"

Khloe scoffed at this, "Do you think I'm stupid? If you want to deliver, just do it. I'm not going to be the one to upset him."

Kloe's husband felt irritated by the non-stop bickering of these women. A wave of headache forced him to say, "Enough! Let's eat quietly!”

Ariana tried to suppress her laughter, then leisurely picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

The food from Imperial Delights was indeed good, which made the entire dining process considerably quiet.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Ariana stood up, politely saying, “Well, we’re off to work now.”

Although they didn't have to go to work on their first day of marriage, Ariana didn't want to stick around with these bored wives who seemed too eager to find some household strife to get involved in.

Khloe mocked, “It’s already so late. Why go to work? Go wash the dishes.”

Ariana paused momentarily as she left her seat, raising an eyebrow, “Are you talking about me, Aunt?"

Aster smiled, “As a daughter-in-law, are you expecting the elders to wash the dishes you didn’t finish?”

With a confused look on her face, Ariana asked, “Why? Don't we have housemaids?”

“Housemaids are just to assist in managing the house. Anyway, leaving everything to the housemaids, what kind of look is that?” Khloe interjected from the side.

Upon hearing that, she couldn't help but laugh, “I am a working woman, and managing the house chores is the maid's job, moreover…”

Ariana took Lambert's hand and smiled, “We want some alone time…”

After saying that, she pulled Lambert up hastily, ready to leave.

Lambert cooperated with her, smiling as he asked, “How did you manage that?”

Pretending not to understand what he was asking, she said, “Manage what?”

Ariana tried to refuse a few times but failed, and reluctantly wore it.

Even though it was a sham marriage, they regard it as a real one. If she refused too many times, it could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

Lambert arrived at the garage and happened to see Arnold, who was going to drive to the airport.

Seeing him, Arnold looked gloomy and said coldly, "Lambert, don't get too smug!"

Because Lambert had increased the market value of the Stone Group by eleven percent, the Old Mr. Stone had recently been dissatisfied with Arnold. In the past, Arnold had deliberately disparaged Lambert in front of him, but now Lambert's brilliant performance contradicted his previous statements, making him look stupid.

With a wry smile, Lambert asked, "Smug about what?"

Arnold sneered, "You did it on purpose. You’ve been harboring ulterior motives all these years, hiding your talents! What are you scheming?"

Lambert replied indifferently, "You’re overthinking."

Even if Lambert had ambitions, he didn't need to do anything to the Stone family.

At this point, Ariana, who had just come out of the house, didn't see Lambert. She was looking for him in the garage and saw the two men arguing. She raised an eyebrow and half-jokingly said, "Isn't my timing rather unfortunate?"

Upon seeing Ariana, Arnold's contempt grew even stronger, none of them was easy to deal with. He drove away immediately.

Ariana originally didn't like Arnold, so her attitude towards him was indifferent.

She took the jade bracelet off her wrist and said to Lambert, "Here, for you."

Looking at the bracelet, Lambert asked, "What is this?"

Ariana replied, "This is the heirloom your mother gave me. It's too precious, I can't accept it!"
