Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 126

Aster was slightly taken aback; she did not expect herself to have used too much force, and for a moment, she was somewhat dazed.

However, thinking back to Ariana's impertinent words, she gritted her teeth and said harshly, “You deserve it! Who asked you to talk back!”

Ariana was clutching her waist, pretending to look afraid.

Seeing this, Khloe wore a gloating, delighted expression as she held Aster's hand and said, “That's enough, second sister. She’s sufficiently scared now. No need to make yourself angry.”

“Do you know you were wrong?” Aster glared at Ariana while reprimanding her.

Ariana lowered her head slightly, pretending not to dare look at them, and just nodded.

Noticing that she finally didn’t dare to retaliate, Aster mocked her triumphantly before leaving with Khloe in an arrogant and showy manner.

Once they left, Ariana looked up at their retreating figures and revealed a slight smile.

After a while, when Old Mr. Stone had finished lecturing Lambert, he went downstairs, only to see that the Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain set had disappeared from the hall.

Immediately, he pointed to the empty shelf, his face turning darker, and questioned the servants in the living room, “What happened? Where's the porcelain set that was on the shelf?”

Hearing his words, the servants were stunned, looking confused, “Sir, it was... it was here this morning…”

The old lady, who was helped downstairs by Lambert, saw Old Mr. Stone had a tantrum as soon as he got down the stairs, and asked somewhat helplessly, “What happened again?”

Old Mr. Stone was furious, “The blue and white porcelain set from the Ming Dynasty that I bought years ago, worth 100 million, has disappeared!”

How much it costs is just a trivial matter. The key is the rarity of this set of blue and white porcelain. Even if you have the money to buy it, you won't be able to find it easily.

At this time, the servant in the kitchen cleaned out a small bucket of porcelain scrap and came out, which happened to catch Old Mr. Stone’s sight.

Old Mr. Stone was shocked upon seeing the familiar pattern mixed in the rubbish bin. He rushed over and picked up a piece to inspect it. "This... Isn't this the pattern of that set of blue-and-white porcelain? What happened?"

Old Mr. Stone felt his blood rush to his head as if the anger would trigger his heart disease.

The servants, ordinarily fearful of him, trembled. Stammering, one replied, "These... are... were broken by the Miss Ariana!"

"Her again!"

Hearing this, Old Mr. Stone clutched his chest and almost fainted.

The separate sleeping arrangements of Lambert and Ariana had already enraged Old Mr. Stone, and this incident seemed to pour oil on the fire.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Stone quickly went over to soothe him.

Upon hearing the commotion downstairs, Jolene and Aster hurried down to investigate.

Aster's face turned pale when she saw Old Mr. Stone's fury towards the porcelain shards in the servant's hand, recalling her recent actions.

Khloe, on the other hand, was surprised that the blue-and-white porcelain had been broken.

Ariana heard Old Mr. Stone's shouting and stepped out looking confused.

Upon seeing her, Old Mr. Stone pointed at her, his hand trembling. "Look at what you've done! This set of blue-and-white porcelain, worth one billion, was ruined by you!"

Khloe on the side, although her face showed no change, was delighted inside.

Old Mr. Stone looked grim, and Aster quickly said, "Dad, I'm telling the truth. Ariana must be afraid of you, so she deliberately framed me."

With an innocent look, Ariana said, "Second Aunt, I knew I was wrong for speaking harshly to you impulsively, but my mother-in-law treated me so well, and when she heard you talking about her like that, I couldn't control my emotions. You can't slander me because of this. And when the blue and white porcelain broke, I think everyone must have heard something."

"I..." Aster choked on her words.

These sisters-in-law usually don't get along well, and they always make sarcastic remarks to each other, and everyone knows it. However, Jolene has a better temperament and rarely replies.

Old Mr. Stone's face was as icy as frost, and he asked the servants present, "What happened then? Speak up!"

The servants were taken aback and didn't dare to speak. Finally, Lyla said tremblingly, "At that time... At that time, Miss Aster accused Miss Ariana of not washing the dishes clean and took them to rinse, but I saw that the dishes were actually quite clean."

"What are you blabbering about?" Aster, outraged at the maid's audacity to tell the truth, was about to slap her. But she was stopped by the intimidating gaze of Old Mr. Stone.

"Go on!" he ordered.

Even though Lyla was frightened, she tried her best to explain clearly what happened at that time.

Once she finished, both elders had dark expressions on their faces. No matter how they looked at it, it was clear that all the trouble was created by this Aster!

Old Mr. Stone shouted, "You two, kneel in the ancestral shrine!"

Aster's legs gave way in fright. Khloe, who originally thought she could keep herself out of matters, was stunned when she was also ordered to kneel, "Dad? Why should I also kneel?"
