Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 159

The Old Mr. Stone frowned upon hearing about the construction site incident and seeing her injured. He asked, "What happened?"

Ariana honestly narrated today's events to the Old Mr. Stone, causing him to slap the dining table angrily and curse. "How the hell did Assistant Lane handle things?"

Old Mr. Stone was always authoritative. A single bang on the table made everyone shiver in fear, except for Ariana.

Instead of defending Assistant Lane or avoiding the issue, she spoke steadily. "Grandfather, I have temporarily suppressed this matter. The media won't find out about this for now. However, the damage that the foreman has caused may need to be reevaluated."

"But I will try my best to resolve all issues before the foreign businessman inspects the construction site."

In real estate, the biggest fear is cutting corners with building materials. If any problems arise in the future due to quality issues, it would be a slap in the face not only to the Stone family but also to the Austin family.

Old Mr. Stone's face was on the verge of turning green with anger. “This foreman disregards the standing of the Stone family in the city!"

Ariana calmly stated, "The materials that the foreman secretly transported and sold are estimated to be worth over five million according to current market value. This is only a preliminary estimate. Shaddy materials have been used on the construction site, creating additional losses. But fortunately, the damage was discovered in time and has been minimized to around one million."

She phrased this very tactfully. The foreman’s past projects have always been done well, with this instance being an anomaly, which could typically be dismissed as unfortunate.

Therefore, Ariana stated the facts instead of blaming the foreman. Whatever Mr. Stone thinks about it, it's up to him.

Old Mr. Stone is not a fool. He immediately grew suspicious.

A foreman doesn’t have the authority to act like this. It’s impossible that no one saw the materials being transported off the site.

Diving deeper into this matter will only make the waters murkier.

The Stone family is large and has many descendants. Competition over family wealth is inevitable.

Therefore, as soon as Ariana finished speaking, Old Mr. Stone immediately fell into deep contemplation and seemed reluctant to discuss the matter further.

"We'll discuss this matter once Lambert returns!"

He paused momentarily, then added, "You've done very well!"

Ariana subtly smiled, this time she could sense a difference in Old Mr. Stone's attitude toward her.

Khloe was starting to feel a headache, the plot that was supposed to deal against them has ironically turned into Ariana's weapon for retaliation.

If Old Mr. Stone continues to investigate, following the leads from that foreman, who knows what might be revealed?

Old Mrs. Stone didn't appear to show any strange reactions, she served some food for Ariana and kindly said, "You've worked hard, eat something quick."

Ariana said, "Thank you, Grandma."

After the meal, Assistant Hills called to inform Ariana that Lambert and the foreign businessmen had successfully negotiated the cooperation matters, and Lambert was now on his way back.

Upon receiving the news, Ariana somewhat heaved a sigh of relief. After a few minutes, she received a message from an unknown number on her phone.

She found it strange and opened it and saw a picture of Beverly holding hands with Lambert.

Ariana paused for a moment, her face looking somewhat grim.

Before she could react, Beverly sent another text message: No matter how top-notch you tactics are, you can't hold back a man's heart.

After reading it, Ariana's cold eyes slightly narrowed.

Perhaps guessing that she wouldn't respond, Beverly sent another message: Don't be mad. I'll send Lambert back to see you in a while.

Ariana's brow furrowed slightly. Beverly is coming back with Lambert?

After a calm contemplation, she dialed the guard's number, instructing him to notify her as soon as Lambert returned.

Ariana was indifferent, "Lambert, I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

Whether it was Beverly who took the initiative or there was some unspeakable secret, she didn't believe it.

She knew that Beverly had sent her messages to deliberately provoke her, make her angry, and create misunderstandings.

However, what made her angry was that Lambert gave Beverly the chance to create these misunderstandings.

If Lambert could truly reject her, he would not let Beverly ride in his car, let alone let Beverly kiss him.

After saying that, Ariana turned around and quickly walked away.

Ariana went to the garage, wanting to drive away herself.

Seeing this, Lambert quickly followed her, held Ariana's hand, and said helplessly, "Can't you listen to me once?"

"There's nothing to explain Lambert! You are smart, you should know what I am thinking."

Ariana shook off Lambert's hand holding her wrist and got into the car.

Lambert stood by the car, his brow furrowed. He didn't want to step aside, but knew Ariana's character well. Trying to stop her would only worsen her mood.

She drove away from the Stone residence without hesitation, onto the highway and started speeding!

There were few people in this area at night, so Ariana could speed without any worries.

But the image of Lambert and Beverly kissing kept flashing in her mind, overlapping with what she saw in her previous life when Vincent and Jane were making love in front of her. The anger and humiliation gradually increased.

In her previous life, she made a misstep and was trapped in an irrecoverable situation.
