Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 155

He pulled the toast-clipping Ariana into his embrace, saying ambiguously, "Its just some teasing between husband and wife."

teasing between husband and wife…

Ariana was reminded of last night, she glared at Lambert while gnashing her teeth, putting the jam-spread toast in his plate, and said with a fake smile, "Eat."

The underlying message —— Shut up!

Khloe did not expect Lambert to be so protective of his wife, she choked on her words, irritatedly looking at Lambert.

This guy used to be so extravagant, no matter how harsh she was, he remained indifferent. Unexpectedly, he has changed significantly for Ariana and has been humiliating her time and time again.

Aster watched the couple's sweet behavior and glared at her husband frustratedly.

Her husband's face turned quite gloomy after being glared at by her.

Sensing the odd behavior of the two, Old Mrs. Stone tentatively asked, "What has happened? Ariana and Lambert just made up, now you guys are having problems?"

Aster answered back grumpily, "It's nothing, Mom."

She had joyfully carried those nutritional soups to her room yesterday, but they ended up useless. She drank them herself and now she’s furious.

Khloe failed to find her amusement around Ariana and Lambert, so she took the opportunity to make fun of Aster. She covered her mouth and and said while snickering, "What else could it be? She ended up taking the tonic soups from yesterday that were for Ariana and Lambert. She must be flared up now. No sense of shame despite her age. Brother has to work during the day, he can't possibly afford to spend so much time with you."

Aster was shocked as she looked at Khloe, "How did you know?"

She distinctly remembered telling the maid not to tell anyone, but unexpectedly Khloe had seen it.

Khloe laughed, "I just happened to pass by and see it last night."

Ariana found it rare to see her two allies bickering in such a way, it was somewhat amusing to her.

After breakfast, due to being toyed with by Lambert too long last night, she felt groggy as soon as she got in the car.

Suddenly, Lambert's phone rang again, and she lightly frowned when she saw it was a call from Stacey.

The wonderful "performance" of that woman yesterday was simply unforgettable for her, and she felt sorry for the man who was blindly in love with her.

She looked at Lambert, who was driving, and asked in surprise, "How did you get her phone number?"

He smirked, "That woman fell into our swimming pool yesterday, we had to give her our number for contact until the lawyer handles the situation."

"Huh?"

Ariana remembered that woman clearly fell by herself, and now she wanted to sue her!

She scoffed, "Then tell me, what does she want as compensation?"

Lambert lightly chuckled and replied, "She hasn't said anything yet, but the doctor mentioned she keeps insisting she feels unwell and needs to be hospitalized for observation. She stated that she would be satisfied as long as I visit her frequently."

Ariana had a moment of clarity as everything clicked into place.

So that was why she had called so early in the morning, she wanted Lambert to see her.

Honestly, Ariana was quite startled. This woman had just been dumped by another man and was already anxious to find a new one.

She suddenly remembered the annoying phone call that morning, "The person who called you this morning, was that her?"

Lambert: "Yes."

"Childish!"

Secondly, there could be issues with their wages. However, as far as she knew, the salaries discussed by the Stone Group and White Group were considered reasonable. Moreover, during recruitment, it was the project manager who personally selected the construction team, thus, underhanded solicitation should not be an issue.

Lastly, the issue might lie with their accommodations.

Conan nodded slightly, "From what I know, the situation doesn’t seem ideal."

Ariana began to ponder. She never expected that in such an important project undertaken by both Stone and White Groups, there would be someone bold enough to skim the top and accept kickbacks in secret. The mastermind behind it could not be an ordinary person!

She asked, "Who is in charge of this project?"

Conan paused for a moment, "It seems to be... President Stone's assistant."

Arnold!

Ariana frowned slightly in surprise, her heart missed a beat, "Didn't he go abroad on a business trip with President Stone?"

She suddenly remembered that Lambert went to discuss a new project cooperation with a foreign businessman just now. If any accident were to happen now, it would be very dangerous...

At the same time, it wouldn't be strange if it were Arnold because she had embarrassed him several times when she collaborated with Lambert on this new project.

Because of this, the Old Mr. Stone sent him abroad for a business trip. Recently, the domestic Stone Group is being managed by Lambert almost entirely.

As for the other aspects, despite being assisted by the two uncles and the father-in-law who are about to retire, they seldom manage these matters.

Therefore, it was normal for Arnold and the others to be restless.

Yet, based solely on this, we could not accuse Arnold.

Moreover, it was said that this assistant of his was productive and highly valued by the Old Mr. Stone.
