Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 115

Upon seeing Lambert still standing, Jolene spoke irritably, “Grandmother came back today from her pilgrimage. Ari is helping in the kitchen. Could there be anything more important than Grandmother's matter?”

Lambert was momentarily stunned, "When would she arrive?"

Jolene replied, "It should be around seven. Go to the airport to pick her up when it's time."

Lambert squinted slightly, looked at the pretentiously busy Ariana, and replied, "I understand."

After a while, Ariana felt a sense of triumph upon hearing Lambert's departure.

However, hearing from Jolene that Old Mrs. Stone was coming back and recalling the difficult demeanor of Old Mr. Stone, she instantly felt a bit worried about the addition of the old lady to the picture.

When Jolene turned back, she saw Ariana standing near the table, helping the servant select the vegetables. Her tall and slender figure presented a gentle disposition but a strong will. She was also very charming in her dealings, no wonder their son liked her so much.

As Ariana felt a gaze at her, she subconsciously looked over and realized it was Jolene. She quickly smiled and asked, "Mom, I just heard that grandmother is coming back..."

Upon hearing this, assuming that Ariana was worried about being bullied by the Old Mrs. Stone, Jolene comforted gently, "Don't worry, the old lady loves her religious practices and has a very easy-going temperament. She's always been kind-hearted towards the junior members of the family, and rarely gets angry unless it's a major mistake."

Ariana fell into deep thought...

As Lambert left the kitchen, the housekeeper came looking for him.

"Sir Lambet... Mr. Stone wants to see you."

He quirked a brow, "He is looking for me?"

The housekeeper looked upstairs and nodded, "Yes, and it seems as if he is a bit angry..."

Implying that Lambert should be careful, as he had been injured by his grandfather's anger more than once.

Lambert had a rough idea of what this was about. Just as he knocked on the study door, a teacup flew from the entrance, which he dodged subtly.

Upon seeing Lambert, Old Mr. Stone viciously slapped the newspaper he held onto the table, "What mess have you gotten yourself into this time?"

Lambert glanced at the newspaper on the table. The headline was glaringly visible, roughly saying that the playboy of the Stone Family had a flash marriage and that he maliciously suppressed his subordinates out of jealousy.

The Old Mr. Stone exploded in rage, slamming the table as he roared, "Is this Ariana really that good? So good that you didn't think carefully about your actions? I think entrusting the company to you while Arnold is on a business trip was a big mistake! Listen to me, Johan must not be transferred elsewhere. Instead, he must be promoted and given more responsibility. Otherwise, the media will ridicule you even more, mocking the entire Stone family, and the reputation of the Stone Group will also suffer! Everyone will think that any employee who displeases the Stone family will be targeted."

Lambert narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied: "Yes."

The reason why Lambert wanted to transfer Johan Sanders was twofold. Firstly, it was because Johan Sanders had improper intentions towards Ariana and was manipulated by someone. Secondly, there were issues in the new project that indeed needed to be resolved.

However, given the current situation, Lambert could only agree.

Seeing Lambert's indifferent demeanor, Old Mr. Stone felt like he was talking to a wall. He was infuriated and snarled, "What do you mean by 'yes'? Have you even reflected on your actions?"

Lambert smirked, "Grandfather, Johan will stay, but he must remain in the marketing department."

The old man felt like he was about to die of anger. Ariana was really too cunning, she even hooked Lambert to the point he was obsessed with her.

When Lambert brought Old Mrs. Stone back in the evening, the whole family greeted her at the door.

Upon entering the house, Ariana, as per the custom, brought tea to Old Mrs. Stone and offered it to her respectfully.

Old Mrs. Stone took the tea with a broad smile, appraising Ariana, she said, "This little girl looks quite pleasing, no wonder my grandson likes her."

After saying that, she pulled out a beautiful jadeite bracelet and handed it to her, saying, "This is a blessed bracelet from my pilgrimage, I hope you can contribute to the prosperity of the Stone family soon.”

Ariana originally thought that Old Mrs. Stone would not like her, but to her surprise, she didn't mention anything about the rushed marriage and wore a loving expression on her face. This made Ariana think that Old Mrs. Stone was somewhat elusive.

She took the bracelet with both hands and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Old Mrs. Stone noticed small wounds on Ariana's hands and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Seeing Ariana being so obedient today, Old Mr. Stone felt that she was just putting on an act and grunted, "Hurry up and eat!"

It was obvious to anyone with a clear sight that Old Mr. Stone had major objections to Ariana.

Many people stifled their laughter, while Old Mrs. Stone maintained her kind smile, acting as if she hadn't noticed anything.

Ariana looked up at Old Mr. Stone, only to be met with a face full of disdain, rendering her speechless.
