Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 120

She unbuckled her seat belt and stepped out of the car, her face full of fury.

Just as she exited, Lambert’s car had left in a cloud of dust.

In the vehicle, Lambert recalls the real face of Ariana, his thin lips slightly hooked up. Does he not understand her enough yet?

Beverly watched the car that had already left far behind, her eyes wide with surprise. She had not expected Lambert to actually drive away.

Gritting angrily she immediately called the Old Mr. Stone to complain.

Beverly added many extra details in her complaint, stating that Ariana deliberately upset Lambert by using Johan, listing many fictitious "crimes."

Old Mr. Stone, who had been bothered by yesterday's event, was so furious when hearing about this that he personally came to the company and headed straight for Lambert's office.

Seeing Old Mr. Stone, who rarely came to the company, arrive with such momentum, everyone was scared into a cold sweat.

Seeing Lambert’s office empty, he struck the desk with his walking stick and asked coldly, "Where is he?"

Upon seeing this, Lambert's assistant came forward, and said, "The vice-president has gone out for some business."

Old Mr. Stone huffed coldly but said nothing.

Just now when he entered the company, he observed the staff working hard and found nothing wrong, so he didn't say anything more.

Beverly, standing aside, really wanted to burst out that Lambert had actually left the company out of frustration with Ariana, but Old Mr. Stone was not a fool. After listening, he would certainly think she was stirring up trouble.

In the office, Ariana was reviewing the progress of a new project, when her assistant knocked on the door to inform her that Old Mr. Stone was here.

She paused slightly, and then she casually said, "Let him come. No need to be too nervous."

Conan knew that Old Mr. Stone was always picky and had a temper. He couldn't help but say, "Manager, are you... not going to check on him?"

Ariana casually replied, "No rush, he will be here soon."

Old Mr. Stone was a tough character, if she behaved ingratiatingly, he wouldn't take her seriously.

Conan was slightly taken aback. True enough, after a while, Old Mr. Stone's voice could be heard from outside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Old Mr. Stone came to inspect Ariana's office, when he entered, he found that Ariana was actually working in earnest. His impression of her slightly improved.

However, seeing that she was ignoring him, he couldn't help but cough.

Upon hearing the sound, Ariana lifted her head slightly, "Grandfather."

Old Mr. Stone snorted coldly. Everyone in the company knew he came for an inspection, everyone else was eagerly fawning over him except for Ariana who was unique.

Seeing Old Mr. Stone's displeased face again, Ariana curved her lips and said to Conan, "Pour a cup of tea for the chairman."

Old Mr. Stone replied bluntly, "Humph, don't you know I came to inspect? How dare you sit here?"

Upon hearing Old Mr. Stone's unkind words towards Ariana, others outside felt a bit worried.

Ariana lightly laughed and said, "Grandfather doesn't like bootlickers, naturally, I wouldn't invite humiliation."

Old Mr. Stone, who was pointed out, paused for a second, snorted coldly, but did not feel angry.

"You do know how to play it smart."

Old Mr. Stone remembered that Lambert did indeed cough a few times this morning due to sleeping in the study, but Ariana still made him ginger soup with brown sugar.

He thought to himself, Ariana seemed to have different faces in front of him and behind his back.

Old Mr. Stone coldly said: "If she doesn't like Lambert, why did she marry him?"

Actually, even without Beverly pointing it out, Old Mr. Stone had somewhat noticed it.

Ariana had been engaged to Vincent for several years. Nothing had transpired until the news of Vincent's scandal with the White family's adopted daughter broke out just as the wedding was nearing.

Afterward, the Thomas family was repeatedly suppressed due to the scandal, resulting in a financial crisis. The White family's adopted daughter, after being exposed, was even sent to a mental hospital.

Such a major incident caused no harm to the White family. Instead, they were able to collaborate with the Stone family, holding land development rights. These rights smoothly helped them enter the Stone Corporation. Ariana even had a flash marriage with Lambert, becoming the daughter-in-law of the Stone family.

All these things seemed logical on the surface, but they always made one suspect that it was all just too much of a coincidence.

Seeing Old Mr. Stone casting doubts on Ariana, Beverly cautiously suggested: "Grandfather, just for safety, I think we should investigate the White and Thomas families."

Old Mr. Stone squinted his eyes and said to his special assistant: "Go, look into the White and Thomas families."

The special assistant slightly nodded, "Yes."

"Grandfather, I want to help too!" Beverly said.

Old Mr. Stone looked at her, "You?"

He’s not senile. He knew very well that Beverly had been disgruntled about Ariana marrying Lambert. She brought up this matter with an intentional or unintentional meaning. If one didn't know any better, one would think she cared about the Stone Family but in reality, she was simply acting out of her own interests!
